Charli XCX Becomes a Wet Brat in Skims Campaign
Everyone from Stephen Colbert to former President Barack Obama is having a Brat summer thanks to Charli XCX, and as someone with her finger on the culture’s pulse, Kim Kardashian wasn’t going to let this neon green season slip by without cashing in on the fun.
After recently recruiting stars including Nicola Coughlan and Sabrina Carpenter to participate in timely campaigns, Kardashian tapped the Brat Queen herself to lead a new, soaking wet shoot for her shapewear label.
In photos captured by Petra Collins, the English pop star poses in a cotton ribbed split-neck bralette and a boxer in a marble stripe. “SKIMS empowers people to feel confident in their own skin, which is the essence of brat,” Charli XCX said in a statement. The pieces will be available to shop on August 21.
Kendall Jenner Snuggles Up with Tory Burch’s Must-Have Scent for Fall
Kendall Jenner has been the face of everything from L’Oréal Paris to Estée Lauder, and now, she’s helping promote Tory Burch’s brand-new scent, Sublime, which the beauty editors at Harper’s Bazaar have called “one of the most exciting and sexiest fragrances of the year.”
In a promotional video, Jenner models red swimsuit tops, fishnet dresses, and more as she cuddles up with a giant diorama replicating the shape of the Sublime perfume bottle, which was designed by artist Malin Ericson to be an abstract take on the Tory Burch double-T logo.
“Sublime is beautiful, it’s hot, it’s confident,” Jenner said about the fragrance, which has floral notes with hints of spice. “I love what Tory does and what she stands for. I want to align with designers who feel genuinely right to me, and this felt natural and organic.” You can purchase the new eau de parfum here.
Très Magnifique—Rihanna Takes Over Dior Beauty J’adore Role from Charlize Theron
Emily is back in Paris, the stars are jetting off to France, and even the Olympics took place in the City of Light this year, with the Paralympics about to follow. It’s been an especially French summer, and it seems Rihanna is only here to solidify that with her latest partnership.
Despite the fact that the chart-topper is keeping busy with her own drops, she was just announced as the new face of Dior Beauty’s timeless J’adore fragrance.
For the campaign, Rihanna jetted off to Versailles, where photographer Steven Klein captured her in a fabulous golden beaded necklace, which she wore in a photo to tease the campaign, ahead of the official video release on September 1.
Rihanna is taking over the position from Charlize Theron, who acted as the face of the fragrance for almost two decades, before recently switching over to become the ambassador of Dior’s skincare line. Talk about a truly iconic passing of the torch.
Grace Wales Bonner Champions “Togetherness”
If you read the “About” section under Grace Wales Bonner’s website for her eponymous brand, you’ll find a passage that says that the label is “informed by broad cultural research and embraces a multiplicity of perspectives.” In truth, this is the perfect description for Wales Bonner’s clothes, which morph style codes and influences to create one unique package.
While the designer’s entire vision is defined by collaboration, she’s further promoting that idea with a new series of events that celebrate music and live performance, called “Togetherness.”
The first of these events took place on Friday June 21st at the Hotel Le Marois in Paris, where there were performances to honor the annual Fête de la Musique, with the roster including La Fève, Etran De L’Aïr, Mansur Brown, Ibou Calebasse, Sarz, and Chris Kirkley from Sahel Sounds.
“It was a privilege to witness these artists shining together, and I am grateful for all of the energy they brought to the event,” Wales Bonner said in a statement. “Togetherness, to me, is about providing unique musical experiences so I am proud we were able to start with this special night in Paris.” There will surely be only more excitement to come.
Neiman Marcus Salutes Vintage Hollywood with Star-Studded Campaign
What better way to pay homage to cinematic style than by recruiting some of Hollywood’s biggest stars?
For Neiman Marcus’s fall 2024 campaign, titled “The Art of Fashion,” the luxury retailer recruited some of the hottest stars of today, with a lineup that included Ayo Edebiri, Colman Domingo, Amy Fine Collins, Alex Consani, Roberto Sipos, and Alexis Stiles.
Shot by Tyler Mitchell, the images see the stars modeling some of the retailer’s fabulous clothing in a setting inspired by the brick-and-mortar Neiman Marcus stores. Meanwhile, Edebiri takes center stage in an accompanying short film, titled “Extraordinary Pursuits,” which takes inspiration from silent films of the early 20th century and captures the Bear star at her humorous and stylistic best.
Noah Opens an End-of-Summer Vintage Pop-Up in NYC
Summer may be wrapping up too quickly, but Noah co-founder Brendon Babenzien is trying to close the season with a bang, all while celebrating the upcoming 10-year anniversary of his and Estelle Bailey-Babenzien’s label.
Noah is known for its utterly American codes, which honor the cultures of surf, skate, and music. And this sensibility rings true in a new pop-up that’s open throughout all of August.
Until September 3, shoppers can visit the pop-up at the Noah flagship store on 195 Mulberry St, where they’ll find a diverse collection of vintage clothing, homewares, books, and magazines, all of which have been sourced from Babenzien’s personal collection. Meanwhile, there are also never-before-released designs and accessories from the Noah archive that can only be purchased while supplies last.
