Today marks the start of Paris Fashion Week and we start to see fall-winter trends for the year take shape after previous shows in New York and Milan. In this spirit, we’re covering some fashion collabs that you may or may not have heard of — one features a contemporary rapper and the other a celeb-favorite French designer.
Today we’re talking about Amazon’s latest smart home device play, a 12-pound, wood-burning stove and two new fashion collabs you don’t want to miss. This is Today in Gear.
AmazonAmazon’s Latest Smart Home Device
In case you missed it: Amazon released the Echo Hub (from $180) last week as its newest Alexa-enabled device. Connect the smart home control panel to thousands of compatible devices like light bulbs, locks, thermostats, speakers, security cameras and more for convenience and simplicity.
NuulyClothing Rental Company nuuly Collabs With Rapper Tierra Whack
Fun and fresh: You can now wear items from Tierra Whack’s personal wardrobe, including pieces co-created with her stylist. To promote her latest album, World Wide Whack, the rapper and creative is putting up 43 items for rent — including custom-designed merch — on the clothing rental website, nuuly ($98/month). The pieces are bright and bold and pay homage to inspiring figures for Whack.
BioLiteA Portable, Wood-Burning Stove That Emits Almost No Smoke
Rave reviews: Just in time for camping season, BioLite now sells the EcoZoom Dura ($130), an easy-to-transport, wood-burning stove that comes with high praise. Campers can use it with pots, tea kettles, wire grill racks, skewers and dutch ovens to quickly boil water and cook outside with minimal smoke. We know cargo space is precious in your RV or camper, but this one is worth the 12 pounds.
Canyon BicyclesA New, Trail-Taming Bike
New and improved: German-based Canyon re-engineered the Spectral CF to create the ultimate trail bike with the CF 7 ($3,699) and CF 8 CLLCTV ($4,199) models — both 29ers — available in the U.S. The brand improved on an already award-winning bike with a new chassis and an expanded range of frame sizes.
JacquemusYou Can Now Carry a Nike “Swoosh” Shaped Bag
Just launched: As teased last week on Instagram, Jacquemus and Nike’s collaboration is now live, but you’ll have to add yourself to the waitlist for the leather shoulder bag. The French fashion brand’s “Le sac Swoosh” ($525) comes with an adjustable strap and zip closure and you can take your pick of three colors: ivory, dark pink or dark brown.
