GUCCI’S AMAZING TWIN SHOW

Gucci pulled off a show during Milan Fashion Week that topped them all – including Kim Kardashian’s collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana. The Gucci show featured 68 pairs of IDENTICAL TWINS! Gucci’s Creative Director Alessandro Michele lived up to his title when he sent representatives to check out the yearly twins convention in Twinsburg, Ohio. Around two thousand identical pairs of twins show up, along with triplets and other multiples, plus curious onlookers. The twins selected for the Gucci show must have been THRILLED. During the show the audience was divided into two separate rooms. Audience members did NOT know they were watching twins until the finale when the screen dividing the room was lifted and models came together and joined hands with their siblings. Brilliant! (which is more than I can say for these pink outfits)

TOMMY HILFIGER APPRECIATES THE KARDASHIAN DRAMA

Looks like Tommy Hilfiger wanted to get maximum press coverage at his New York Fashion week show so he invited Kourtney and Travis Barker and wrapped them up in clothes lavishly covered with his initials, and plopped them into the front row. They proceeded to smooch and cameras quickly appeared. You can also see Travis’s 16 year old daughter Alabama looking over dad’s shoulder. Tommy Hilfiger has always had a rather Ivy League image – kind of a lower budget Ralph Lauren. So he must be looking to attract a new element…

SHARON STONE IS LIVING IT UP IN MILAN

Sharon Stone is a big deal in Milan this week and she’s enjoying every minute of it. Last August she was in Venice where she was photographed in numerous Dolce and Gabbana ensembles (mostly sexy black dresses) because she is the face for their new ad campaign. Her photos popped up everywhere for Fashion Week including the store window at D&G. She happily posed for photos in front of her huge poster in the window at the Milan store and caused quite a stir…

IT’S ALWAYS “FASHION WEEK” IN LONDON

Fashion Week London ended over a week ago, but that doesn’t mean the city’s inhabitants lack inspiration.This photo of a woman walking her nicely dressed dog on Bond Street was taken today and we were happy to see that London street style is still alive and flourishing…

PHARRELL WILLIAMS: IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY

While paparazzi at the Kenzo menswear show in Paris were focused on Kanye West and Julia Fox in their denim outfits, we zeroed in on THIS denim family. Pharrell Williams never disappoints with his style, but it’s rare to find a whole family that looks good. Pharrell and his wife Helen Lasichanh have always had their separate but equally fashionable looks and it turns out their son Rocket inherited his parents’ love of subtle but stylish dressing. The family is not often photographed together because Helen likes to keep their lives private. SO private that she gave birth to triplets in 2017, and we STILL don’t know the sex or names of the kids!

IS THIS THE FUTURE OF MEN’S FASHION?

Look what the pandemic and the devastating weather changes have done to the world of fashion! It’s a battle just staying alive these days and menswear designer Justin Gall (he’s new to us!) is ready to take on the challenges of the modern world. Gall’s collections have a dystopian theme – his clothes are described as protective gear for harsh times. In other words SURVIVAL. His show in Milan this week featured comfortable, functional fabrics made to LAST, with a slightly military feel. Some of the ensembles even have detachable arm and leg units. Gall, an American graphic artist, dyes and paints his own fabrics. (Kanye’s going to be jealous!) Gall’s collection is worth a look!

JADEN SMITH PREFERS TO EDUCATE HIMSELF

Jaden Smith, 23, is showing off a suit from his own fashion collection, MSFTSrep, at the British Vogue party during London Fashion Week. We assume the odd name means “misfits republic” and he’s partners in the brand with sister Willow and a few friends. When he’s not designing, Jaden is skateboarding or making music. In 2016 he was the first male model to wear a skirt in the Louis Vuitton womenswear campaign – hence the skirt-like attachment to his pants above. Jaden is clearly smart and creative – it’s too bad he and his sister Willow don’t believe in higher education – no college for them.

THE INEVITABILITY OF DESIGNER FACE MASKS

Face the facts – society is headed in this direction: face masks will become a necessity if you plan to leave the house, and they might as well look good while they are saving your life. Fendi already had this silk mask on the market for $270 long before the Coronavirus struck, so they are a step ahead. Off-white has a rather plain black mask available for $98. All these manufacturers need to do is update their masks with powerful germ filtering lining material. Fashion Week in Milan ended badly due to the encroaching virus. We can imagine many designers up all night preparing fabulous face masks for Paris Fashion Week…

IRINA SHAYK’S CATWALK RETURN MARRED BY CORONAVIRUS

Looks like Irina Shayk doesn’t want you to know how much fun she’s having in Milan during Fashion Week – she’s covering up on her last day. Irina’s been back at work modeling for all the shows in Europe and she’s happy to hang out with her friends again. No doubt her ex Bradley Cooper is at home babysitting their two year old daughter Lea. They’re sharing custody now so Irina can work again. The only drawback for Irina was the coronavirus scare in Milan that shut down some of the scheduled shows. Models left town in a hurry…

IT’S NOT PARIS FASHION WEEK WITHOUT DITA VON TEESE

Dita Von Teese is always a fixture at Paris Fashion Week- designers like Jean-Paul Gaultier` are obsessed with her unique persona. When Dita says she is a perfectionist, she means it. We’ve bumped in to her in an LA supermarket and she was flawless: hair, makeup etc. Check out her lingerie collection-it’s vintage inspired and quite sexy and beautiful. Apparently she shops wherever she performs for the finest vintage apparel. And when she’s home she’s shopping online – imagine our delight when she purchased a turquoise Lilli Ann suit we had listed on eBay!
