The way his face contorts ever so slightly to show you mischief or madness or melancholy, or maybe all three at once. The way he can take the piss out of people. The way he can take the piss out of himself. Whatever it is, it has to be something, because people—directors, other actors, movie audiences, awards voters—love him. He is the current Joker in the Batman movie franchise. He is a member of the Marvel universe (withEternals). He’s in a new World War II miniseries produced by Spielberg and Hanks. And inSaltburn, the new film from writer-director Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman), he appears in every frame and gives a performance that will go down in movie history as the one that made Barry Keoghan a star. |

We’re starting 2024 off strong with Noah founder and J.Crew men’s creative director, Brendon Babenzien. He was also creative and design director of Supreme, having joined the company just a couple of years after its inception. He is credited with helping to steer it from a small skate brand to the streetwear behemoth it’s become today. The Long Island native’s path to style was not necessarily a conscious one. “That came from being a New Yorker involved in skating and surfing and really loving music,” he says. “It just goes there automatically because it's not a considered thing when you're young. There's style connected to those things, so if you're really interested in them, it's a natural extension.” |

So ubiquitous is caffeine in our culture that it doesn’t even register to people as a drug. Step out of the office for a midafternoon cigarette and people might look at you askance. Get caught doing a bump of coke in the office bathroom as a midday pick-me-up and it’s grounds for immediate termination. But slam a Monster or a quad-shot Americano at work and people will think you’re a go-getter. That perception is increasingly being challenged by a small but growing choir of laypeople and experts making a concerted effort to raise awareness about the potential downsides of caffeine dependence. |
