Chopova Lowena’s It-Book Of Summer 2023 Stars Chlöe Sevigny (Vogue UK)

Emma Chopova and Laura Lowena are turning publishers. The British-Bulgarian duo behind Chopova Lowena have released a new book, Conversations with Angels, that is a retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Snow Queen by the artist and poet Precious Okoyomon. Starring Chlöe Sevigny as the titular queen, and photographed by Charlotte Wales, the book uses looks from the designers’ autumn/winter 2023 collection as a jumping-off point to tell this beloved children’s tale. Fashion’s love affair with the literary world has been raging for a few years. Loewe’s autumn/winter 2021 show notes included an excerpt of Danielle Steel’s novel The Affair and Proenza Schouler’s autumn/winter 2023 show featured diary entries by Ottessa Moshfegh on the soundtrack (read by Sevigny, as it happens). Just last month, Pierpaolo Piccioli cited Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life as an inspiration for his Valentino men’s spring/summer 2024 collection, going so far as...

‘THE IDOL’ LEAD MAKEUP ARTIST ON TURNING JOCELYN INTO A ’00S FEMME FATALE POPSTAR (Hypebae)

Love it or hate it, Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp) of The Idol is all the girlies can talk about. We can’t help but feel like she’s someone who just stepped right out of a throwback pop star book. The pouty, “just kissed” lips, intentionally messy hair and slightly smeared makeup give off such a fierce and femme fatale vibe from the early to mid-’00s. Hypebae Beauty previously mentioned that Jocelyn’s makeup was primarily from Chanel Beauty. However, the makeup department lead, Kirsten Coleman gave her seal of approval. Kirsten is a well-respected makeup artist who worked on Euphoria and was personally chosen by showrunner Sam Levinson to develop a unique makeup style that would captivate audiences for The Idol. Coleman shared that she drew inspo for the character from Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears, which speaks to the “Indie Sleaze”...

WHAT EVERYONE WORE FRONT ROW AT PHARRELL’S LOUIS VUITTON DEBUT (NYLON)

Since it was confirmed that Pharrell Williams is Louis Vuitton’s new men’s creative director on February 14, there’s been much speculation on what the brand will look like under Pharrell’s vision. Today, his highly anticipated first runway show took place at Men’s Fashion Week in Paris. It signaled a new era for the brand, including suit jackets with matching baggy shorts, oversized hats, and digital camo print. Naturally, many of Pharrell’s extremely famous friends were front row at the show — including Beyoncé, JAY-Z, and Rihanna. Pusha-T even rapped during it, while a gospel choir chanted “joy.” Ahead, here are the best front-row looks from your favorite celebrities at Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton debut.

Meet Javier Des Leon, the Body Behind the Body in Those Y/Project x Jean Paul Gaultier Body Morph Looks (VOGUE)

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky—arguably the world’s most stylish couple—were spotted in Barbados last weekend. A toned six-pack peeked out of Rocky’s buffalo-plaid flannel, stealing the spotlight. Except the taut torso wasn’t his but a printed long-sleeve top by Y/Project’s Glenn Martens made in collaboration with Jean Paul Gaultier, featuring a reimagined version of Gaultier’s famous body-illusion graphics of spring 1996. The body behind the body belongs to Spanish model and content creator Javier Des Leon. Yes, that’s all him, baby. Des Leon began his career as a stylist, though, as he told me over Zoom from his flat in Madrid, he soon outgrew that role as he dedicated more of his time to social media. “I started building this character on Instagram,” he said, realizing his skills for modeling, art...

Dua Lipa Channels Britney Spears in a Denim Maxi Dress (W Magazine)

Dua Lipa has been referred to as the “Cher of our generation” (much to the chagrin of Cher herself). She’s worn several looks over the years that seem to reference some of Cher’s most iconic style moments, but now, Lipa has seemingly moved on to a different pop star—Britney Spears. On Wednesday, Lipa shared a set of photos wearing a denim maxi dress, and of course, ever since Spears stepped out at the 2001 American Music Awards in a up-cycled denim dress, no one else has been able to wear one without encouraging comparisons to the singer. Lipa’s version comes from the Blumarine spring 2023 collection. Creative Director Nicola Brognano, a master of Y2K fashion references, presented two versions of this...

Kendall Jenner’s Optical Illusion Dress Is a Nod to Kim Kardashian (W Magazine)

Kendall Jenner’s look at the 2022 CFDA Awards last week is a perfect example of how her taste often differs greatly from that of her sisters. While Kim, Kylie, and Khloé all wore figure-hugging dresses that were see-through, had high slits, and allowed for some under-boob cleavage, Kendall went for a much more demure look in a very simple, white sequin dress from Khaite. Her sisters often opt for the body-hugging pieces, something that, while Jenner has absolutely dabbled in over the years, has never been her go-to. But on Thursday night, Jenner stepped out in a dress that was pretty atypical for the model, and seemingly could have been plucked right from Kim’s closet. As the creative director of luxury retailer...

Hailey Bieber Looks Sporty In a Moto Jacket and Matching Minidress (W Magazine)

Hailey Bieber loves a good leather traditional jacket, but now she’s getting a bit more trendy with that love. The 25-year-old model was seen running errands in Los Angeles on Wednesday doing Fast & Furious cosplay in a moto jacket, an eye-catching piece in black, yellow, and white panels. The over-sized jacket was covered in zipper details and almost engulfed the black Balenciaga minidress underneath. The little black dress featured a mock-turtleneck, a white graphic design across her chest, and was split by a white panel at the hips. The very short skirt had a slit exposing even more of Bieber’s toned thigh. She wore the look with black leather knee-high boots over white socks, black oval sunglasses, and carried a yellow Prada...

Dua Lipa Channels Rosalía in a Full Motomami Look (W Magazine)

Dua Lipa took a cue from another pop girlie on Thursday, when she stepped out in a full look that would surely protect her if she were to hit the highway on a Kawasaki bike. Yup, Lipa is officially a motomami, and a designer one at that. The singer’s full leather moto getup came courtesy of Givenchy. Lipa showed off her latest ensemble on Instagram in an array of photos with the caption, “TOKYO DRIFT.” Her look comes from Givenchy’s resort 2023 menswear collection, and features a black, red, and white motorcycle jacket, covered in “Givenchy” and featuring the brand’s logo embossed on the front. Similarly, the matching pants are also labeled to death (in case you forgot who made the look)....

Alexa Demie Isn’t Done With Her Balenciaga Era Just Yet (VOGUE)

On Euphoria, Alexa Demie’s character Maddy may be known for her bodycon dresses and coordinated two-piece sets (which are so good that Cassie copies them), but off-screen, Demie has a killer style of her own. A true Balenciaga girl, she’s been almost exclusively sporting Demna’s designs for all of her recent appearances. One of our highlights are the three custom looks that Demna created for her for Euphoria’s season two premiere earlier this year, including a fiery red trench coat. But this weekend, at the star-studded Academy Museum Gala in L.A., Demie brought out a new Balenciaga look that stands on its own. “I have always been drawn to designs from the past, the silhouettes, craft and creativity,” says Demie. “I really felt that spark I’ve had for...
