Monday Global Media Round Up: 8/13

This Monday just doesn't seem like a Monday if you ask me. But the weather sure does make us excited to go home and catch up on our favorite TV shows with a glass of wine. But before you do that, make sure you catch up on everything you might have missed this weekend with TTG's Global Media Round Up. Enjoy!

Serena Williams Will Return to the U.S. Open in Virgil Abloh x Nike




Since her debut in 1998, Serena Williams has easily remained one of the best dressed players on the tennis circuit. But this year, the 23-time Grand Slam champion is really upping her game with a special U.S. Open ensemble designed by Virgil Abloh for Nike. The look consists of a black one-shoulder dress with Nike's logo, accompanied by Abloh's signature quotation graphic - this one reads Logo - with a full tulle skirt. Williams will play in a pair of customized Nike Court Flare sneakers and sport an Abloh-designed jacket while off court. If this is good news from Williams, Abloh, and tennis on the whole - it's even better for fans. A limited edition of Willams's dress, jacket, and two Nike The Ten sneaker styled inspired by her look will be available at select Nike locations in the United States beginning in late August.

"My mom put me if goofy socks when I was a kid and I love that," Khalifa says. "Sometimes that one crazy sock print takes the whole outfit to the next level."

This Marthas's Vineyard Town Is Like the Hamptons Without the Crowds 




Less crowded than the Hamptons, more accessible than neighboring Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard has long been the Sumer getaway of choice for presidents - the Obamas, Clintons and Kennedys have all holidayed there - and well-heeled New Englanders looking to kick back and relax. While an island-wide "no chain store" rule has kept Martha's Vineyard blissfully disconnected from the mainland - there are no traffic lights or parking meters on the island, either - Edgartown, a "down island" former whaling town with stately white 18th-century Greek revival homes, has emerged as the favored destination for a cosmopolitan crowd seeking the perfect blend of downtime and diversion.
