Just received my copy of Grateful Dead Studies volume 6, in which you’ll find my review of Mordechai Rubinstein’s “Dead Style.” You can check out the review (along with some far more brilliant scholarship) here: gratefuldeadstudies.org/volume-6/

Nearly ten years after their first, Alice + Olivia has released another Grateful Dead collection, which includes mini dresses, a rather conspicuous vegan leather jacket, and another Dancing Bear-adorned ballgown skirt (this one retails for $1,795, the first iteration retailed for $1,298)

I’m not sure of the exact terminology of what we are calling this but I am going with feathery peplum. Some early #1960s Givenchy whose skirt is demure and quiet whose bodice is having a proper party @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Feeling very seen by this question in @rollingstone.com’s “World’s Hardest Grateful Dead Quiz,” except that it’s inaccurate; neither Ralph Lauren nor Gucci has collaborated with the Dead. The GD x Gucci collab was a made up April Fool’s Day post from Live for Live Music !!

Over the past 16 months, @thenation.com has published regular dispatches from Lujayn, a teenager in the Gaza Strip. Lujayn has endured huge loss and trauma. Now she, along with the rest of Gaza, is starving. But she is still writing.
This is her latest. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

I’m a Teenager In Gaza. And I Am Starving.
What hits you first is the exhaustion carved into every face. The sickly pallor. The terrifying weight loss ravaging everyone—yes, including me.

Really like this project by Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek. Titled Exactitudes, it's a series of portraits stretching back 20 years that shows how people style themselves to signal they're part of a group and unique individuals within that group.

Over a month after seeing Superfine, I’m still thinking about how the Costume Institute consistently used ebony mannequins throughout the exhibition, but opted for faceless forms for these zoot suits, presumably as a nod to their intersectional and cross-cultural significance. So smart

Wild to watch the Democratic Party rallying to push back what they perceive as a threat to order. It turns out they do have it in them to speak out and act with one voice, just not over what we need them to in order to save our country.
Former President Bill Clinton is endorsing former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, his former HUD secretary, as the Democratic establishment tries to attempt to ensure Zohran Mamdani does not win the Democratic primary for NYC mayor. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/n...

Spanish luxury fashion house Loewe just released a Grateful Dead capsule collection featuring $950 shirts. Creative Director Jonathan Anderson (who’s set to take over at Dior) was one of the first designers to feature GD iconography in a luxury collection for his eponymous label 13 years ago (pic 3)

Some of the best Dead t-shirts are unattributed. One of my hopes in creating deadheadstylearchive.com was that we might locate the makers. Recently, Jonathan Thomas shared this shirt, and shortly thereafter the son of the couple who made the shirt in ‘93 reached out and shared the story behind it

Explosive moment during tonight's NYC mayoral debate:
Cuomo: "He’s never dealt with the city council, he’s never dealt with the Congress..."
Mamdani: "I’ve never had to resign in disgrace...I have never hounded the thirteen women who credibly accused me of sexual harassment."
