Jisoo of Blackpink is officially Dior’s global ambassador.

The 26-year-old member of Blackpink is now officially the global ambassador for Dior across both fashion and beauty.

Meet the Guccis as portrayed by Lady Gaga and Adam Driver.
Lady Gaga may perhaps be gunning for another Oscar-nominated role. The multi-talented artist is set to star alongside Adam Driver in Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci. The film will be based on The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed, a book by Sara Gay Forden that details the events and aftermath of the murder of the former head of Gucci, Maurizio Gucci (to be portrayed by Driver) by ex-wife Patrizia Reggiani (Gaga). Fashion and true crime? We’re all in.
Teen Vogue’s incoming editor-in-chief anti-Asian tweets resurfaced.
At a period where growing anti-Asian sentiments in the US has led to multiple assault crimes, the resurfacing of Teen Vogue’s incoming editor-in-chief Alexi McCammond’s past tweets proved to be troubling. 20 of the magazine’s staff members put forth a note condemning McCammond’s now-deleted tweets, as well as submitted a letter to publisher Condé Nast leaders to express their concerns. McCammond had already apologised for the tweets back in 2019, and once again reiterated her remorse for her unquestionably unacceptable actions.
Hermès is exploring alternative leather sources.
There’s no question that Hermès is one of luxury fashion’s foremost masters of leather. The house has now partnered up with California-based start-up MycoWorks to create Sylvania — a mushroom-based material that imitates the properties of leather. Hermès is set to make use of Sylvania (together with canvas and some elements of calfskin) in its Victoria bag that will be released later this year. And while this is a milestone for Hermès, it’s been reported that the more eco-friendly material will be part of the house’s offerings and not as a replacement for its leather.

Dior B27, le sneakers uomo che vogliamo indossare adesso
Dior presenta due nuove scarpe per la primavera estate 2021: due versioni inedite delle sneakers uomo B27 disegnate da Kim Jones, disponibili in due modelli, alto e basso.
Dopo il successo delle sneakers Dior in collaborazione con il brand Jordan - vero tormentone della scorsa estate - le nuovissime scarpe della maison, le sneakers B27, si preparano a essere l’ossessione della primavera estate 2021.
Dialogando con diverse ispirazioni, che spaziano dallo stile vintage anni ottanta, alle scarpe da basket, fino al mondo dello skateboard, Kim Jones ha disegnato le nuove scarpe Dior B27 dal design ibrido: sportivo e raffinato insieme.
Presentate con la collezione uomo Dior resort 2021, le nuovissime sneakers della maison sono ora disponibili in due nuove colorazioni per la primavera estate che completano la classica combinazione bianco e grigio con nuance color panna oppure accenti di rosso, blu e nero.
Il design, ideato da Kim Jones, nelle versioni sneaker bassa o alta, rimane caratterizzato dagli inserti laterali con l’inconfondibile motivo Dior Oblique Galaxy, realizzato in pelle traforata con fodera riflettente; oltre che dalla tomaia strutturata, composta dall’assemblamento di oltre 10 pezzi cuciti insieme e dalla suola compatta in gomma bicolore. Il logo CD con le iniziali del fondatore della maison è riportato in versione maxi sulla linguetta delle scarpe mentre, la scritta in stampatello DIOR, è ricamata in filo sul tallone imbottito e impressa in 3D nei lati delle suole.
Abbinate con un jeans stampato oppure insieme a un pantalone chino con dettagli funzionali, le nuove scarpe Dior B27 per la primavera estate 2021 aggiungono a ogni look un tocco sofisticato e sportivo e sono le uniche sneakers uomo che vogliamo indossare adesso.
