Inspiring up-and-coming designers, and bolstering the dreams of men and women working hard in the industry is good for us all, not just those of us working in fashion. Empowered as we were with the back and forth in that class in Wellington that day (and we learned so much more from those young women than we could ever impart) we just know how attendees and speakers both will be buzzing come the first Friday in November.
One certainly won’t be bothered by a little less latex clothing (or no latex at all) if Daniel Day-Lewis is on screen. The trailer for his latest (and supposedly his last) film, “Phantom Thread” sees the enigmatic actor pairing once again with director Paul Thomas Anderson. The trailer for this period sartorial romance dropped just this week and as always with a PTA film, people are already talking Oscar, as much wondering what the movie is about.
K.P. super fan (one of the legion of “Katycats” who attend multitude Perry shows and dress in homemade outfits based on their favorite singer’s classic looks) Samantha Bolton drove over eight hours for a Perry show in Kentucky. She was also wearing a dress she designed made of more than 3,000 rhinestones for her planned meet-and-greet with the singer. Bolton’s outfit consisted of high heels with sparkly eyeballs and a black dress with a matching eye inside lips across her chest, matching smaller eyes on her skirt.
Surely, a wedding brings out the bride’s gown choices as much as her style for the special day, but Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka’oir made sure the day was stylish for them both.
Iconic screen star Marilyn Monroe makes the news this week…and certainly this week we need a little fluff and lightness in our lives. A series of twelve photos of the star, many nudes, will go on sale at Heritage Auctions on the 11th. These stills, some color, some black and white, were shot by famous photographer Lawrence Schiller as Monroe was filming what would be the last film she ever acted in, “Something’s Got to Give.”
Katy Perry performed at the arena on Oct 11th and in keeping with their tradition of making each gift different and personalized to fit the artist, Barclays Center wanted something custom and memorable that really would stick out for Katy. They wanted something the pop star would really love, and something that also represented Brooklyn. And we were commissioned to make a jacket (see here) inspired by Katy’s song “Swish Swish.”
As always, Halloween will prove to be a wild romp for kids of all ages. So enjoy, be safe and dress-up as much as you dare.
