The shirt, designed by Palm Beach-based brand J. Logan Home, is no ordinary summer top. With its bright flamingo and palm tree print, it's a bold statement piece. The label's silk shirts typically retail around $2,650, making it a luxury pick for festival fashion and, now, a surprise at a charity event. Travis first debuted the shirt in April 2023 during the Revolve Festival at Coachella. At that time, he paired the shirt with khaki shorts, multi-colored Nike sneakers that matched the pastel vibe, and accessorized with a gold chain, a watch, and black sunglasses embellished with stars, a look both playful and sharp. Fast forward to May 31, and Jason, 37, was spotted wearing the same shirt but styled very differently. He paired the vibrant shirt with dark blue slim-fit pants, simple sandals, and topped it off with a gray newsboy cap. The more laid-back, casual styling suited Jason's relaxed vibe as he attended the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend, an annual charity event benefiting Children's Mercy Hospital. Travis, 35, took a completely different approach to his outfit for the night. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo He opted for an all-black ensemble, wearing a Palm Angels tracksuit paired with a matching black trucker hat from Nahmias priced at $225. His look was understated, focusing on sleek, monochromatic style. The choice by Jason to borrow Travis's shirt didn't go unnoticed by fans on social media. Many joked about the brothers' camaraderie and teased Jason for 'raiding Travis's closet,' speculating he might have forgotten to pack or had an emergency shirt situation. Others noted that Jason's recent weight loss journey might have made it easier for him to fit into his younger brother's clothes. Jason has been transparent about his efforts to slim down since retiring from the NFL. On the brothers' podcast, New Heights, he shared that he had already lost nearly 20 pounds by March 2025, dropping from 285 pounds to around 277. His goal remains to reach 250 pounds. The shirt swap may be a fun symbol of this new chapter in his life. The Big Slick Celebrity Weekend brought together numerous celebrities and athletes for a great cause, including Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, actors Paul Rudd, Jason Sudeikis, and comedian Fortune Feimster. The brothers mingled and took the stage together, with the shirt moment adding a playful sibling twist to the evening. Meanwhile, Travis's girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift, spent the evening in New York City celebrating the purchase of her masters while dining out with Selena Gomez, also donning an all-black outfit with a diamond bracelet gifted by Travis at Christmas 2023. The shirt moment highlights the Kelce brothers' close relationship and their contrasting personal styles. Jason's decision to wear the bold, colorful shirt originally worn by Travis at a music festival adds a fun, personal flair to the charity event and shows a glimpse of their brotherly bond.

Nantucket Jeweler and Marissa Collections Face Legal Fight After Potential Deal Dissolves
A Nantucket jewelry designer and store owner is seeking a jury trial against Marissa Collections, a Palm Beach-based retail operation, after plans for a potential business partnership on Nantucket disbanded. Katherine Jetter, designer and owner of The Vault Nantucket, claims that Marissa Collections used proprietary information that she had shared confidentially and contractually to map out plans for a Marissa Collections store, which is scheduled to open next month just steps from her own store, The Vault Nantucket. More from WWD Soul Singer Teddy Swims Reimagines Kay Jewelers' Iconic Jingle and Curates Father's Day Jewelry Collection Jessica McCormack's New York Flagship Is Full of Character and Carats Queen Camilla Wears the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada Brooch for King Charles III's Address at Canada's Parliament Jetter filed a complaint on May 19 in Nantucket Superior Court against Boutique Tere Inc., which operates as Marissa Collections, alleging breach of contract, unfair and deceptive trade practices, tortious interference and other charges. Three executives at the company, Marissa Hartington, Burt Hartington and Jay Hartington are also named in the 119-page document. Jetter is seeking injunctive relief and damages on behalf of herself and her company, as well as legal fees. Jetter started her namesake company, which includes accessories, in 2008, and she debuted a freestanding store on Nantucket in 2017. A Tuesday morning hearing for the preliminary injunction was canceled. Both retailers sell high-end jewelry and accessories from other brands, as well as apparel. Jetter said that she learned of Marissa Collections' plans for a store at 1 Cambridge Street on the Massachusetts island on May 9 via an Instagram post. With a rendering of its new shingled location, the Florida company flagged its location and June 27 opening, as well as 13 brands it carries including Brunello Cuccinelli, Oscar de la Renta, Michael Kors Collection and Gianvito Rossi, among others. The post featured a bubblegum pink backdrop that is similar to the shade used on The Vault Nantucket's site. In a press release that was shared with WWD Tuesday, Marissa Collections said the Nantucket location will be a 700-square-foot summerlong pop-up that is being called Marissa's Cottage. The Harry Heissmann-designed space will feature 'residencies' and activations from Christy Lynn, Lela Rose, Tammy Fender, Holistic Skincare, Temperley London and others. Jetter's company offers her signature jewelry such as the $29,800 Fiery Bird of Paradise ring, and a $52,000 Paraiba tourmaline origami bangle. Located in the hub of the in-town shopping area, The Vault also offers other high-end items including Hoorsenbuhs' $1,045 sunglasses, a Silvia Furmanovich $5,500 clutch and a Kwiat $56,900 emerald-cut diamond ring. Its online apparel assortment is considerably more limited than Marissa Collections, which offers dozens of designer and other established brands. Located 30 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, Nantucket is known for its cobblestoned streets and low-key shopping. Unlike the Hamptons, Palm Beach and other resort towns, where many luxury retailers and big-name designers have unveiled freestanding stores, Nantucket only has a few designer stores — a Polo Ralph Lauren outpost and a Veronica Beard boutique. Jay Hartington, chief executive officer of Marissa Collections, declined to comment about the lawsuit Tuesday. He said via email that Marissa Collections is looking forward 'to a successful summer season within the vibrant Nantucket community.' The family-run company started in 1975 and now has three Florida stores — a 10,000-square-foot one in Old Naples, a location at The Royal Poinciana Plaza in Palm Beach and a resort outpost at The Ritz-Carlton in Naples. Jetter claims that Marissa Collections disregarded contractual obligations and used 'confidential business information and trade secrets 'as free market research in a territory that was otherwise unfamiliar to them.' Marissa Collections' summer outpost on Nantucket will be located two-tenths of a mile from The Vault. A 2024 confidentiality and non-compete agreement was submitted with last week's filing, as was one from 2023. Jetter claims that Marissa Collections' CEO assured her that the company would never independently operate a store on Nantucket without her, since Nantucket was her 'territory.' Jetter alleges that violates an agreement not to compete within a 50-mile radius. The Nantucket store owner said she provided proprietary information to the Florida company including 'detailed sales data and forecasts, profit margin models and strategies, employee compensation details and seasonal revenue patterns,' among other market analyses. She alleged that the multi-location company and the Hartingtons kept that material for 'improper use' and have refused to provide a certification of destruction of The Vault's confidential information. In addition, Jetter alleged that the defendants had no intention of honoring their agreements or pursuing a transaction with The Vault. In a statement provided on Wednesday by her attorney Kathleen Marini of Quinn Emmanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, Jetter said she could not comment on the ongoing litigation at this time. Jetter said she has always 'prided herself as an entrepreneur who believes in fair business practices,' and that building The Vault Nantucket and her namesake Katherine collection has been her life's work. 'And it was not built alone, but with the support of a strong community of fellow designers, my amazing team, my Nantucket business community, and my incredible retail partners and clients,' she said. 'Looking forward to a great season ahead,' Jetter said The Vault, which carries more than 35 designers, will 'continue to operate as we always have with the unwavering integrity that defines our brand and with a culture of respect for our team, clients and community.'Best of WWD The Definitive Timeline for Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Sean John Fashion Brand: Lawsuits, Runway Shows and Who Owns It Now What the Highest-paid CEOs at U.S. Fashion and Retail Companies Make Confidence Holds Up, But How Much Can Consumers Take?

Navy secretary says need for new shipbuilding is a ‘national emergency' at local visit
Newly sworn-in Secretary of the Navy John Phelan visited Hampton Roads shipyards in Norfolk and Newport News on Wednesday as part of a tour that's taken him around the country. Speaking to media at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard after concluding his visit, Phelan emphasized the need for new investment in shipbuilding to meet the demands of the moment, calling it a 'national emergency.' He floated building ships overseas in partnership with foreign allies as well as using old shipyards and advancements in technology to shrink the 'footprint' of current shipyards to allow for expanded manufacturing of military vessels. 'I think we have grossly underinvested in this country and hollowed out manufacturing and that's been a real problem, and we now have a real demand signal for the industrial base – particularly for (submarines) and carriers – and so we're behind and now we have to catch up,' Phelan said. He said in order to create the workforce needed to spur this growth, it would require jobs programs that match the focus put on coding in recent years. 'We spent the last 10 years teaching people how to code, we're going to spend the next 10 teaching them how to use their hands,' Phelan said. 'That is going to be a critical skill set and I believe that we can create very good careers, longterm careers.' Phelan was sworn in on March 25 and is overseeing the Navy's $263.5 billion annual budget. Previously he was the founder and chairman of the Palm Beach-based private investment firm Rugger Management, and was co-founder and co-managing partner of MSD Capital. He has an MBA from Harvard Business School and has a Bachelor's degree in Economics and Political Science from Southern Methodist University. In talking to workers at different levels of the shipbuilding process, some common themes emerged including difficulties with parking. He said these conversations will inform his decision making going forward. Phelan said one of his main focuses on his visit was to check in on the construction of the Ford-class USS John F. Kennedy, which is three years behind schedule. He resisted attributing the delays to any one factor, saying he's still gathering information on the situation, but said he is 'optimistic' the issue can be resolved. 'I think it's a number of different factors, I'm still really formulating that. I think it's going to take a whole-of-government approach to fix,' Phelan said. Overall he said he was very impressed with Hampton Roads' shipyards, particularly the capacity to build nuclear powered supercarriers, calling them the 'backbone of our deterrence and the president's peace through strength initiative.'
