Would You Wear the Dimes Square T-Shirt?
This week, H&M released a T-shirt referring to a small area of Lower Manhattan known by some as Dimes Square. The neighborhood, named for Dimes, a restaurant on Canal Street, emerged as a vibrant hot spot in the early days of the pandemic, serving as the backdrop for sometimes maskless gatherings of the city's writers, models, actors, artists and other unaffiliated provocateurs-about-town. Over the years, Dimes Square has become no less scene-y but a lot more ritzy, and it's now home to a swanky hotel, Nine Orchard, and upscale wine bars. Though H&M seems to be trying to project 'downtown cool' with this e-commerce image — down to the sunglasses and baggy jeans — these days many of the bars and restaurants are populated by Zyn-popping finance workers. Far from having a unified look, Dimes Square is an aesthetic slurry of fleece vests, streetwear, and luxury labels. In an edited conversation, members of the Styles desk — Stella Bugbee, Marie Solis and Alex Vadukul — and the Times critic Jon Caramanica, discuss this perplexing garment, which appears to be sold out online. STELLA BUGBEE: First of all, did any of you try to buy one? ALEX VADUKUL: I did not. And I'll be sleeping fine at night with that decision. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Heidi Klum has awkward exchange with ‘rude' contestant during her ‘Project Runway' Season 21 return
Heidi Klum has returned to her runway. But not everyone was thrilled to hear what the host, 52, had to say during the Season 21 premiere of 'Project Runway' on Thursday. After a Disney-themed challenge put contestant Antonio Estrada in the bottom, he had some tense words for Klum, who returned to the competition series after stepping away in 2017. 8 Heidi Klum is back on 'Project Runway.' Disney 'Am I being 'Punk'd?' Estrada questioned after they announced his fate. The model, who serves as both host and head judge, quickly responded: 'No.' After judges Nina Garcia and Law Roach gave their feedback, Estrada pointed fingers at Christian Siriano, the designer's mentor. 'You keep blaming everything on Christian,' Roach noted. 8 Heidi Klum and Christian Siriano on 'Project Runway.' Disney 'Christian told me his intern could make that dress in 30 minutes,' Estrada quipped as Siriano, 39, agreed. 'I just think this dress underneath, an intern could make it in 30 minutes. It's a tube dress,' the fashion icon continued before Klum added that Estrada's model 'just looked like a big loofah.' Estrada didn't take kindly to the 'America's Got Talent' judge's feedback. 8 Antonio Estrada creates his dress on the Season 21 premiere of 'Project Runway.' Disney 'I'm a Gemini, and I don't like people telling me what to do,' he explained. 'And I was like, 'You're an adult, you're going to listen to Christian, he's here for a reason, he's your mentor.' And I did listen to him. That's why I changed my look three times. You pushed me to be better.' However, the competitor's words didn't sit right with the panel. Roach, 47, called Estrada's words 'spicy' as Garcia, 60, echoed her co-worker's sentiments. 'Antonio, you're being so defensive. We're just trying to understand your work. I don't think there's any reason to be defensive,' the Elle magazine Editor-in-Chief said. 8 Heidi Klum, Law Roach, Nina Garcia and Christian Siriano. Disney 'I think Nina's right to call that out,' Roach added. 'I think you're being defensive, and also a little bit rude.' 'It's okay to be criticized and to be let down by the criticism. But to kind of throw it back comes across as really quite nasty,' he went on. 'I'm just letting you know, one girl to another.' At the end of the episode, Estrada evaded elimination. A returning designer, Caycee Black, left the show instead. 8 The competitors get to work on the season premiere of the fashion competition show. Disney Klum, meanwhile, initially hosted the show from 2004 to 2017. She won the 2013 Emmy Award for her role, alongside her former co-host Tim Gunn. Klum was nominated nine times, with 'Project Runway' earning dozens of nods throughout its time on air. On Wednesday, the star gushed over coming back to her roots. 'It feels so amazing to be back,' Klum told E! News. 'It really feels like coming home.' 8 The contestants show off their creations on 'Project Runway.' Disney 'And then doing this with Law,' she stated, 'and obviously Nina, we've known each other for so long, Christian Siriano. And just having these 12 amazing, talented designers on the stage, it's just the most fun thing for me to watch and be part of.' Roach himself was excited to work with Klum. 'To hear Heidi was back, it was like, 'Okay, this feels good,'' he told the outlet. ''This feels like history.'' Garcia noted that not all of the competitors could take the heat. 8 The competitors talk during their first competiton. Disney 'The competition is tight, but I also think the judges, we are really telling them honestly how we feel,' she told viewers. 'And some take it well, some don't.' Along with a drama-packed season, viewers are in store for a slew of celebrity guest judges, including Tyra Banks, Nikki Glaser, Zac Posen and Sara Foster. Also making an appearance is Klum's fellow 'AGT' judge, Sofía Vergara. 'I was so happy that she said yes, because she's wearing, ultimately, the winning look,' Klum shared. 'I said to her, 'If you really hate it, I'm just gonna have to wear flats every time when I see you,' because she hates being shorter than me. She's always like, 'Klum, take those heels off.'' 8 Season 21 of 'Project Runway.' Disney Klum and her former co-host Gunn, 71, both exited 'Project Runway' seven years ago, with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover star sharing a heartfelt goodbye at the time. 'After 16 incredible seasons, I am saying 'Auf Wiedersehen' to 'Project Runway,' a show that I was honored to host and help create. I am incredibly proud of the show, and it will always have a special place in my heart,' she said in a statement. 'I am so appreciative of the dedicated fans, and most of all, I am grateful that we could shine a light on creativity and help launch so many talented designers' careers.'
