Hosted by Hassan James of Root Magazine, the evening was more than a preview โ it was a spiritual encounter layered with reverence, joy, and divine purpose.
Last night, Kate Spade New York and NYLON toasted the season with โHoliday Duo-ets,โ a celebration of music, fashion, friends, and the sparkling art of gifting.

I wasnโt sure what to expect when I arrived at ย Sony Hall, but the night quickly set sail on a sea of sound and community.

In Predator: Badlands, director Dan Trachtenberg once again proves that the Predator franchise works best not as a blockbuster spectacle, but as a stripped-down survival drama. Following the critical success of Prey (2022), which set the alien hunter loose in 18th-century Comanche territory, Trachtenberg returns with a new setting, new characters, and a familiar premise: when Earth’s future technology meets the Predator, the battle is never just for survival โ itโs for the soul.
