Pharrell brings entertainment to Louis Vitton fashion shows

PARIS – Unveiling a new chapter in its illustrious history, Louis Vuitton made an indelible mark on Paris Fashion Week’s men’s shows as they premiered the debut collection by musician-turned-designer Pharrell Williams. Appointed in February to fill the immense shoes left by the death of Virgil Abloh, Williams unveiled his design prowess to the fashion world with a show that exuded confidence. The breathtaking venue for this sartorial spectacle was Paris’ iconic Pont Neuf. The historic bridge, typically responding with time-worn stone, was transformed into a golden runway — a dramatic stage set against the backdrop of the shimmering Seine… READ MORE

Jennifer Lawrence does ‘quiet luxury’ in a gray The Row outfit

‘Quiet luxury’ recently took the fashion world by storm as its latest most-desired aesthetic – and Jennifer Lawrence is the latest star to adopt the look. Considered a mood more than a trend, ‘quiet luxury’ encompasses inconspicuous style with a focus on quality over flashy logos and more obvious signifiers of wealth, and a preference for classic, timeless pieces over anything that would quickly date. This week, Lawrence – who is currently promoting her new film No Hard Feelings, which premieres later this month – stepped out in the ultimate discretely expensive ensemble, in a gray two-piece by The Row.… READ MORE

Princess Kate Thinks (Very) Pink in Alexander McQueen Power Suit

This time, she opted for a monochromatic look in pastel pink. Would we call this color blush? salmon? Perhaps a seasonally appropriate peony?

She’s worn the suit before, actually, though not quite in this way: In another engagement last year, also for her Shaping Us early childhood initiative, she paired a… READ MORE

What Succession’s Final-Season Fashion Means for Shiv, Kendall, and Roman

succession‘s costumes have provided a four-season-long symphony of neutrals and fine materials, courtesy of Emmy-nominated designer Michelle Matland. For the most part, Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Roman (Kieran Culkin), and Shiv (Sarah Snook) have neglected bold colors and showy designs—instead of choosing “quiet luxury” looks in black, navy, gray, cream, and khaki to tastefully complement their journey through a Logan Roy–constructed ring of hell. Despite those design parameters, Matland has had some fun throughout the series—dressing Shiv in head-to-toe white for his mother Caroline’s wedding as a fashion-choice FU, for example. This season, when the Waystar team made a last-minute trek… READ MORE

Met Gala 2023: Here’s What Happened at the Celebration of Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld, the German-born fashion designer who is the subject of this year’s Met Gala, liked to court controversy, his achievements on the runway often outshone by offensive blunders and tone-deaf remarks. His missteps could be monumental — in a literal sense. Consider the 28-foot-high “iceberg” that hovered imposingly over his fall 2010 ready-to-wear show. The set piece, sculpted from 240 tons of snow and ice reportedly sheared off a glacier in Sweden, was intended as a comment on global warming. But the gesture missed the mark, as it took six days and a continuously maintained temperature of 25 degrees… READ MORE
