While we can’t be thankful for many things that came out of 2020, one thing that brought a little more light into our lives emerged at Maison Margiela’s SS20 Couture show – a new, must-have shoe created in collaboration with Reebok that took the form of the Tabi Instapump Fury.
An instant fave for its retro aesthetic, it melded Margiela’s signature Tabi boot with Reebook’s 90s Instapump Fury silhouette and came in all-black, all-white, and a colour version that paid homage to the OG sneaker.
You might be thinking: ‘How the hell could they improve on that?’ Enter stage left: the Tabi Instapump Fury Oxford. Taking all the best parts of the original hybrid (i.e. all of it), the new silhouette throws a low-top leather derby into the mix too.
Last week, Billie Eilish shared a photo of herself on Instagram, teasing fans that “things are coming”. Now, it seems that thing is a new single, as the artist has shared a 15-second clip of a track called “Happier Than Ever”.
In the short snippet, a newly-blonde Eilish slowly turns around as the camera zooms in on her. Over a gentle acoustic guitar, she sings:
“When I’m away from you, I’m happier than ever”. Eilish shared the clip with just the song title as the caption.
In February, the artist appeared on
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert where she revealed that she created a whole album during lockdown. “I don’t think I would have made the same album, or even the album at all, if it weren’t for COVID,” she said. “That doesn’t mean it’s about COVID at all, it’s just that, when things are different in your life, you’re different. That’s just how it is. So, I have to thank COVID for that, and that’s about it.”
