CHRIS PINE HAD A MAKEOVER

Chris Pine turned up at the ZEGNA luxury menswear show in Milan along with Andrew Garfield and several handsome Italian actors -they were outside the location before the show started, posing for photos. Looks like Zegna offered them a deal they couldn’t refuse and they became walking ads for the label. It’s apparent that Chris had a total makeover because he never looked more refined. He is usually seen dashing around Los Feliz wearing baggy shorts or sweats with Birkenstocks, going to and from yoga classes, etc. Zegna not only dressed him but they blew out his hair and trimmed his usually scraggly beard. Those mint green linen pleated pants with the tan t-shirt make him look VERY Italian. Apparently the brown leather loafers hurt so he took them off. Watch for Chris’s next film Poolman – he not only co-wrote it, he produced, directed, and stars in it!

Bones & All Fans Milan Pearls Timothee Chalamet

TIMOTHEE CHALAMET ALMOST CAUSED A RIOT

We used to call them “pretty boys.” Move over, Harry Styles. There’s an AMERICAN challenging your #1 Heart-Throb status and he wears PEARLS too! (Sorry, Sly and Arnold, but Sensitive Guys are definitely in style!) Timothee Chalamet was SO mobbed by adoring fans at the Bones and All premier in Milan that (for safety concerns) the red carpet had to be CLOSED DOWN! When is the last time THAT happened? Fans were disappointed when celebrity arrivals were quickly hustled inside the theater and photographed there. The press and paparazzi were send home and Timothee was not able to do any interviews to promote the movie – but something tells us it will still be a hit…

Fashion Week Gucci Milan Twins

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)

Dolce & Gabbana Fashion Week Milan Sharon Stone

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…

Fashion Milan Sexy

SHE’S TOO SEXY FOR HER SUIT

Milan Fashion Week just started again and we couldn’t help noticing this look on Italian model Vittoria Ceretti (she looks like the Italian version of Kendall Jenner) What’s interesting is that top she’s wearing with the baggy suit. Reminds us of a super-skimpy swimsuit. It’s a very original – and unexpected- way of showing flesh…

Fashion Fashion Week Justin Gall Milan

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!

DOLCE & GABBANA: HIGH HEELS ARE OPTIONAL

This is what Dolce & Gabbana hopes you will be wearing next winter – and it’s bound to cheer up anyone who sees you. Noteworthy: The designers in Milan this year loosened up when it came to pairing sneakers with evening gowns and high heels with workout wear – and it’s about time. Everyone knows you can have more FUN in sneakers and by next winter we should all be back to having fun. This colorful graffiti spray dress and jacket is more practical than it looks. It’s quite stretchy and the puffy jacket with leopard lining is cozy and warm, suitable for a festive occasion OR a ski outing.

coronavirus Fashion Men Milan Phillip Plein

MILAN ACCESSORIES FOR MEN: FACEMASKS AND PLASTIC GLOVES

Milan designer Phillip Plein has decided that men will be wearing their possessions such as credit cards, cash etc across their bodies on a chain. And it’s not a bad idea to stash some rubber gloves and a face mask in those little boxes. Milan is under siege from coronavirus which has exploded in a nearby small town. Models and fashionistas are rushing to catch flights OUT of the city before worse things begin to happen…

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…
