close collaborator of Kendrick Lamar (who’s already too established to make this list), AbSoul can hold his own with the most nimble lyricists in the game. He can rap over virtually any beat while also keeping his subject matter varied and interesting.

These revolutionary changes occurring at the outset of the 20th century are summarized in the 1912 writings of AndrĂŠ Vera. Le Nouveau style, published in the journal L'Art dĂŠcoratif expressed the rejection of Art Nouveau.
rt Deco influencing the Chrysler Building was a touchstone at Etro as well, where Veronica Etro showed block-print geometric designs inspired by that silver-tipped landmark, as well as black-and-white graphics on a kimono coat, and a sinuous charmeuse evening column. Louche references to the speakeasy age resonated in the New York collections, too, as designers as disparate as Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch and Ralph Lauren offered drop-waist looks trimmed with bows and siren-y sequined Deco motifs. But fashion doesn’t happen in a vacuum, of course. In Europe, one impetus for the current Deco rage could well have been the silent film “The Artist,” a newly minted black-and-white star-is-born saga unveiled at Cannes in May (and which opened in New York on the weekend). In that production, set in 1927, the heroine, Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo), sashays around in the kinds of slinky gilt-lavished dresses Clara Bow might have worn. It’s likely that a raft of designers saw the film on its European release. n New York, madcap flapper styles were tiered, glitter-flecked and wreathed in fringe, owing more of a debt to the roaring 1920s of “Midnight in Paris,” Woody Allen’s cinematic homage to the era of Picasso and Hemingway. Mr. Lauren offered a nostalgic nod to his own 1970s costumes for “The Great Gatsby” and seemed to allude simultaneously to the much anticipated Baz Luhrmann Gatsby revival, set to open in theaters late next year. What does it all signify? Well, it’s tempting to read this latest resurrection of the pre-Crash 1920s as a portent of lean times. Or not. Sometimes, after all, a trend is just a trend.
