<p>Jeremy Scott is stepping down as creative director of the Italian luxury house Moschino after 10 years of wild and wacky fashion shows and his elegant dressing of numerous celebrities.</p>

<p>The company made the announcement Monday.</p>

<p>“Scott has penned a fundamental chapter in the legacy of the brand with his fearless and show-stopping pop-camp style and incisive humour — true to the renowned codes of the House,” the company said in an email statement.</p>

<p>The American designer took over at Moschino in October 2013 with a groundbreaking fall/winter collection that, according to the statement, “launched a thousand debates on the role of fashion in the annals of art, consumerism, and social commentary.”</p>

<p>The Missouri-born Scott has put out collections that focused his pop culture and tongue-in-cheek lens on Barbie, aliens and Ronald McDonald. Katy Perry, Madonna, Rita Ora and Zendaya are among the celebrities who have worn his creations.</p>

<p>Most recently, he dressed a handful of A-listers for the Oscars, including putting Angela Bassett in a standout custom ultraviolet hand-draped gown with a huge bow neckline.</p>

<p>Massimo Ferretti, chair of Moschino parent Aeffe S.p.A., thanked Scott for “ushering in a distinct and joyful vision that will forever be a part of Moschino history.”</p>

<p>Scott called his years at Moschino “a wonderful celebration of creativity and imagination.”</p>

<p>He said he was proud of his legacy. He thanked Ferretti along with “all my fans around the world who celebrated me, my collections and my vision.”</p>

<p>Haute couture has given way to upcycled outfits, sourced entirely from used clothes, as the models strut, pause and pivot on the runway, a sign of the growing popularity of chic, environmentally friendly vintage wear among young Iraqis.</p>

<p>"We don't want overproduction of clothes, we have to reuse them," said Mohamed Qassem, 25, a hairdresser and organiser of the fashion show near Al-Hussainiya village.</p>

<p>The global fashion industry accounted for two per cent of greenhouse gas emissions in 2019, according to the World Resources Institute.</p>

<p>Campaigners and a growing number of climate-conscious social media influencers have led a push toward sustainable fashion.</p>

<p>Many young people in climate-stressed Iraq, like Qassem, have become passionate about vintage clothing.</p>

<p>The palm grove event showcased fluorescent green puffer jackets, long black leather coats, ample double-breasted blazers, and modern takes on traditional costumes.</p>

<p>In many parts of Iraq, scarred by decades of conflict, peaceful rhythms are gradually returning to daily life and second-hand clothing offers aspiring fashionistas an affordable chance to express themselves.</p>

<p><strong>- Climate threats -</strong></p>

<p>As Baghdad's streets see more "fast-fashion" and imported brands, the outfits at the Al-Hussainiya event predominantly feature green elements, a nod to the show's environmental message.</p>

<p>Iraq, synonymous with date production, has seen its iconic date palms placed under stress by the effects of climate change and the years of conflict.</p>

<p>"The goal is not to focus only on clothes, but also abandoned orchards, palm trees that disappear every day," Qassem said.</p>

<p>The United Nations says oil-rich Iraq is one of the five countries most exposed to the impacts of climate change, already witnessing extreme summer heat, frequent droughts, desertification and regular dust storms, which will exacerbate as the planet heats.</p>

<p>The designs at the fashion show will not be put on sale. Organisers mainly hope the symbolic parade will raise awareness.</p>

<p>Ahmed Taher, a 22-year-old stylist who put together the sets for the show, said "second-hand pieces are clothes of excellent quality".</p>

<p>"When you wear them, you have the impression of wearing luxury clothes. It's different from what you find in stores."</p>

<p>A business student, Taher offers Baghdad's hipsters vintage clothes on Instagram -- where he has around 47,000 followers -- selling pieces for around $20.</p>

<p>"We want to wear unique clothes and not all look like each other," he said.</p>

<p><strong>- 'Last a lifetime' -</strong></p>

<p>A student-turned-model for the day, Safaa Haidar, said she was attracted to vintage clothes as she could shop "according to my personality".</p>

<p>But in Iraq, where the UN estimates nearly one-third of the 42 million inhabitants live in poverty, many wear used clothing out of necessity.</p>

<p>In the winding alleys of central Baghdad's second-hand clothes market, stalls overflow every Friday with shirts, shoes and jeans, with shoppers checking sizes in front of the sellers.</p>

<p>Here a shirt can cost barely $2, while other pieces can sell for as much as $60 or even $200.</p>

<p>Mohamed Ali, a 20-year-old engineering student, came to buy shoes.</p>

<p>"It's not that we can't afford to buy new, but here we find better quality and unique pieces," he said.</p>

<p>Ali recounted his parents' stories from life in the 1990s, when Western sanctions against Iraq meant they would wear clothes, even "inside out, until they were worn out because they could not afford" new ones.</p>

<p>Now, Ali and most of his friends shop for vintage clothes for their durability and style, he said.</p>

<p>Merchant Hassan Refaat, 22, sells imported second-hand clothes which find a new life in Iraqi wardrobes.<br />
He also imports goods from Iraq's northern autonomous Kurdistan region, bordering major textile producer Turkey.</p>

<p>"Second-hand clothes are of better quality than the new clothes available on the market," he said.</p>

<p>"Very often, they are branded pieces, and the brands last a lifetime."</p>

Iraq fashionistas champion climate-friendly vintage wear

<p>Dior is coming to Mumbai, India for its next fashion show and Mumbaikers are beyond excited! Creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri is all set to present the luxury brand's 2023 pre-fall collection at the historic Gateway of India monument. First of its kind in the country, the standalone show is scheduled for March 30.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The symbolic value of the brand staging a major fashion show at the historic&nbsp;monument in India could be significant, similar&nbsp;to when Fendi staged a fashion show at the Great Wall of China in 2007.&nbsp;For Chiuri, however, the motivation was more personal.</p>

<p>In a conversation with BoF, she said "Fashion is much more than 10 minutes on the runway. It’s all the people that work together on this incredible project.&nbsp;I am doing this show for my love of this country, and how much they support my creativity. It is really something very personal."</p>

<p>The collection&nbsp;will be available in stores from late April. It features evening coats, silk dresses, and sari-inspired skirts that reference ethnic Indian silhouettes.</p>

<p>Some pieces are embellished with intricate embroidery by Chanakya, a Mumbai-based atelier led by Karishma Swali and a craftsmanship school for women. The Atelier&nbsp;has supplied surface ornamentation for a number of European luxury brands and couture houses over the years. Chanakya has also&nbsp;produced several monumental set pieces for some of Chiuri's Paris shows.</p>

<p>"For me to show in India means also to celebrate the heritage of India in embroidery and how important [it is] in the fashion world,"&nbsp;Chiuri told BoF.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chiuri's focus on global craftsmanship is a hit-making formula, which has propelled the 76-year-old luxury brand to new heights. Their annual revenues have tripled since her arrival, according to HSBC estimates.</p>

<p>The creative designer loves to engage&nbsp;with local artisans from around the world and produce limited-edition designs for the brand's cruise collections,&nbsp;which she previously staged in Greece, Morocco and Spain.</p>

Dior coming to Mumbai! Brand to showcase its 2023 pre-fall collection at Gateway of India

<p>What's the first thing you notice in a person? Their face, their clothes, their accent? A nice, fresh pair of apparel can instantly give your personality a boost. To make that great first impression in a meeting, at the office or at an event, you must dress to impress. And, that's where Power Dressing comes to play!</p>

<p>A study has found that first impressions about your personality, confidence, and credibility are formed within the first few milliseconds through your dressing, body language, grooming and etiquette. And, many stylists will tell you that&nbsp;mindful dressing, grooming and overall presence can help you create power, credibility and command, which in turn translates to success.</p>

<p>If you don't pay attention to the way you dress, groom or carry yourself and look less presentable, then others can judge you as a careless or under-confident person. But if you do the opposite, you can leave an impression on everyone you meet.</p>

<p>Samira Gupta, an Image Consultant, told IANS, "To convey power is to command the room with your presence, establish your credibility and authority, and connect with others and Inspire them. All of this can happen in the minds of others within a few seconds as 'first impressions' followed by a 'lasting perception' through consistent professional dressing, grooming, body language and etiquette!"</p>

<p>To create an impeccable presence and leave&nbsp;its impact everywhere you go, Samira has shared some tips to help you ace Power Dressing:</p>

<ol>
	<li>Opt for a tailored fit</li>
	<li>Learn about colour theory</li>
	<li>Accessorise&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Self-awareness</li>
	<li>Body language</li>
	<li>Professional etiquette</li>
</ol>

<p><strong>Opt for a tailored fit:</strong> Even though purchasing clothes off the rack and buying ready-made outfits is easy and less time-consuming, nothing compares to a suit that has been tailored specifically for you.&nbsp;They are made to flatter the size and shape of your body.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Additional tip: Look for good quality fabric and inner lining.</p>

<p><strong>Learn about colour theory:</strong> Ever wondered why bankers always wear blues? Because blue is the colour of trust! Colours play a vital role in sending subconscious messages! It's also proven that they create a subconscious effect on the viewer. Different colours convey different significance, for example, navy blue is the colour of trust and integrity. So pick navy blue suits or shirts for your next meeting.</p>

<p>Black is&nbsp;the colour of authority, power and grace so choose it sparingly, especially in places you want to create an impact. Charcoal grey is the colour of strength, character and efficiency.&nbsp;Pick this colour for team vision meetings, conveying difficult messages and even everyday office wear.</p>

<p>Additional tip: The rule for shirts for men and tops for ladies in any professional setting is to wear pastel shades such as soft pink, powder blue, lemon yellow, etc.</p>

<p><strong>Accessorise:</strong> The formal wear rule is to opt for darker-coloured suits such as black, navy blue and charcoal grey. All dark colours can make your outfit a little boring! Hence, in order to enhance the overall look, you can add an attractive element, or as we call it 'the statement piece'.</p>

<p>The statement piece can be a printed vibrant tie or a pocket square. For women, you can add a coloured, printed scarf matching your outfit or go contrast. A solid structured bag can also add to the look.</p>

<p>Additional tip: Match your belt and shoes in colour and texture. For example, a brown leather belt should be paired with similar leather shoes.</p>

<p><strong>Self-awareness:</strong> You may wear a power suit and still not be able to convey power! This is because power is a function of the mind, if you don't feel it, you cannot demonstrate it. Hence, it's vital to seek help or create awareness of the ways you can feel powerful.</p>

<p><strong>Body language: </strong>Take your space, stand in a straight posture, distribute equal weight on both your feet and keep the chin parallel to the ground and your hands by your side. Gentle eye contact with everyone you interact with is a game changer to building a connection and influence. While you want to convey power, smile a little to also provide comfort and create a safe space for those around you.</p>

<p><strong>Professional etiquette: </strong>Good manners and etiquette are the signs of a kind heart. They are the way to convey 'respect'. This a reminder to use the 3 magical words - sorry, thank you and please, appreciate and Acknowledge others through verbal communication, and communicate politely and assertively.</p>

Veteran Bollywood actress Zeenat Aman turned showstopper for fashion designer Shahin Mannan and returned to the ramp at the age of 71. Photos and videos of the actress are doing rounds on social media. Exuding confidence and grace, Aman was seen flaunting her salt-and-pepper hair as she strutted down the ramp. She wore a red and black abstract-printed blazer top along with black pants. To complete the look, she opted for black sunglasses and matching footwear. Before stepping on the runway, she shared a picture on Instagram and wrote, "Captured behind the scenes, before this morning's ramp walk. My pantsuit was comfortable and just a little reckless. I'd forgotten what a whirlwind it is to be backstage! The bustle of a fashion show approaching showtime is unique, and I can't deny that there was a butterfly or two fluttering in my stomach." "A warm thank you to all the technicians, workers, and security personnel who make such events run smoothly for our talented designers and models. It's been a minute since I walked the ramp, and I'm touched by the love I am receiving for being Shahin's showstopper at fashion week," she added.

It's exciting to be doing so again while representing older women. Some would say I've come full circle, and that fits in beautifully with Shahin's concept. I enjoy Shahin's quirky designs, and had faith that she would create a striking look for me." On the professional front, Zeenat Aman is all set to make her OTT debut with the web series Showsttopper.

Enter the world of Versace with the queens of the catwalk - Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Naomi Campbell and Emily Ratajkowski! The divas took the runway by storm on Thursday as they flaunted sultry looks for Versace's Fall-Winter 2023 collection in West Hollywood.

Enter the world of Versace with the queens of the catwalk - Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Naomi Campbell and Emily Ratajkowski! The divas took the runway by storm on Thursday as they flaunted sultry looks for Versace's Fall-Winter 2023 collection in West Hollywood. While Hadid strutted down the runway in a gorgeous gown featuring a semi-sheer corset bodice and a satin bottom, her longtime pal Kendall Jenner made heads turn in a thigh-skimming frock that featured puffy sleeves and a peplum waist. Hadid later slipped into a structured black blazer with black and white buttons, a long skirt, matching gloves, crocodile-embossed leather footwear and a cute bag. On the other hand, Emily Ratajkowski's look seemingly paid homage to Audrey Hepburn's iconic look from her hit film Breakfast at Tiffany. She looked drop-dead gorgeous in a tea-length black dress, matching gloves and stiletto heels. Naomi Campbell came later to the runway in a slinky black dress with elbow-length gloves.

Demi Moore, her daughter Rumer Willis, Cher, Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa, Paris Hilton, and Anne Hathaway were seen sitting in the front row in equally gorgeous attires. Watch the full Versace Fall/Winter 2023 show here: In creating her 2023 fall-winter line, Donatella Versace harked back to a 1995 collection of Atelier Versace, the label’s couture line, with a campaign starring Madonna. Colour choices began with black and included caramel and chocolate, as well as apricot, turquoise and pink. Prints included an animal print from the Versace archive and a falling flower motif. After a cascade of black outfits for both women and men, a sudden burst of bright pink surfaced, in a wool-cropped jacket and miniskirt, then a minidress in a tangerine hue. More than halfway through the show came the luxurious, satiny printed dresses, often minis, accompanied by those elbow-length gloves for added glamour. Streetwear was nowhere to be seen, and the long gloves seemed to evoke the Golden Age of Hollywood, which began in the mid-1920s and continued for several decades. Paired with the up-to-there minis, and often accessorised with big sunglasses, they aimed to create what Versace described as "energy from clashing Golden Age glamour with a contemporary attitude, and confident power".

Catwalk queens Kendall Jenner, Naomi Campbell and Gigi Hadid grab eyeballs at Versace's star-studded LA show

<p>French label Pierre Cardin returned to the official Paris fashion week schedule for the first time in decades, sending out a colourful, off-beat lineup of styles that recalled its space-age heyday.</p>

<p>Models paraded two-toned suit jackets with triangular-shaped lapels, asymmetrical dresses and capes, shimmery gold trousers and thin ties that formed an arrow-like shape at the tip.</p>

<p>Attendants flashed spotlights on models as they made their way down the temporary runway, set up in the label's empty flagship store that is undergoing renovations.</p>

<p>Spinning holograms were projected in the windows of the store — located across the street from France's Elysee Palace — and one model carried the three-dimensional projection in a handbag.</p>

<p>The late designer's great nephew, Rodrigo Basilicati Cardin, who took the reins of the label following Cardin's death in 2020, said he worked with the design studio to pare back the looks, which were made from recycled materials as well as a fabric that sat in storage for decades.</p>

<p>Seeking to spark interest in the label among younger crowds, Basilicati Cardin said he set up competitions to bring on talent from other countries, like Mexico and South Korea, for stints at the label.</p>

<p>"My goal is to manage the label and bring it on track," he said, speaking to journalists after the show as he greeted guests including French singer Mireille Mathieu.</p>

Pierre Cardin returns to Paris Fashion Week with space age lineup

<p>Just as we were getting used to the Barbiecore trend, an influx of aesthetics started rolling out on social media during the 2023 fashion weeks and&nbsp;eventually ended up in fashionistas' wardrobes. Mermaidcore, Celestialcore and a few other trends are currently topping the trend charts for their otherwordly, futuristic glam vibes. So as you enjoy the&nbsp;final stretch of ready-to-wear shows in France's capital city Paris, explore&nbsp;some of the biggest and most original trends that you will be loving this year.</p>

<p><strong>Mermaidcore</strong></p>

<p>Mermaidcore is the latest micro trend taking over runways, award shows, and social media.&nbsp;Much like the mythical creatures, the Mermaidcore look&nbsp;is a little elusive. You need to put in the work. A lot of work! The trend is all about&nbsp;iridescent slip halter dresses, lace-up tops or corsets, sheer lacy fabrics, light blue and lilac sequins, pearl and shell-inspired accessories, and layers and layers of ruffles. If it feels like a lot of effort, that’s because it is.</p>

<p>When it comes to beauty, the trend at its roots is characterised by slicked-back hair, loads of highlighter, fluffy brows and a mix of teal, sea green&nbsp;and turquoise shades. It’s also the perfect amalgamation of gloss and glitter. To fake the just-came-out-of-sea wet look, opt for glossy lids, cheeks, and lips and don't forget to use iridescent and holographic shimmer.</p>

<p>A wet hairdo with soft waves is the first step to making the Mermaidcore trend a part of your personality. Next, you can pick a combination of semi-sheer and lace fabric that makes clothes appear soaked. For makeup, get creative and use cool accessories that make you seem like Disney princess Ariel.</p>

<p><strong>Celestialcore</strong></p>

<p>Celestialcore is the newest and most gorgeous NYFW beauty trend that is currently making waves on TikTok. We first saw it at Thom Browne's presentation at New York Fashion Week, where models flaunted hand-painted glimmering stars and metallic milky ways on their eyes, created by professional makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench. The looks were inspired by stars and constellations.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, at Sandy Liang, makeup artist Marcelo Gutierrez took a less literal approach and added an ethereal silver highlighter around the models' eyes.</p>

<p>The trend quickly went viral online and got nods from beauty influencers and MUAs.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Lime Time</strong></p>

<p>Other than digital lavender, lime is going to be the colour of 2023. The colour dominated the spring 2023 presentation at NYFW. We saw it on gowns at Alliete, Fendi, and Michael Kors, suits at Sergio Hudson, and separates at Brandon Maxwell and Tory Burch.&nbsp;</p>

Just as we were getting used to the Barbiecore trend, an influx of aesthetics started rolling out on social media during the 2023 fashion weeks and eventually ended up in fashionistas' wardrobes.

Just as we were getting used to the Barbiecore trend, an influx of aesthetics started rolling out on social media during the 2023 fashion weeks and eventually ended up in fashionistas' wardrobes. Mermaidcore, Celestialcore and a few other trends are currently topping the trend charts for their otherwordly, futuristic glam vibes. So as you enjoy the final stretch of ready-to-wear shows in France's capital city Paris, explore some of the biggest and most original trends that you will be loving this year. Mermaidcore Mermaidcore is the latest micro trend taking over runways, award shows, and social media. Much like the mythical creatures, the Mermaidcore look is a little elusive. You need to put in the work. A lot of work! The trend is all about iridescent slip halter dresses, lace-up tops or corsets, sheer lacy fabrics, light blue and lilac sequins, pearl and shell-inspired accessories, and layers and layers of ruffles. If it feels like a lot of effort, that’s because it is.

Celestialcore, Mermaidcore and other trends we saw and adored during 2023 fashion weeks

Coperni is making waves on the internet for its latest presentation at Paris Fashion Week. The brand transported us to the world of super-robots as models shared the runway with canine automatons on Friday.

Coperni is making waves on the internet for its latest presentation at Paris Fashion Week. The brand transported us to the world of super-robots as models shared the runway with canine automatons on Friday. Models, including Kate Moss's daughter Lila, posed amid five robots as part of a theatrical performance, inspired by a French Fable - Le Loup et l'Agneau, which translates to The Wolf and The Lamb. While the models represented the lambs, five robot dogs acted as wolves. The show was reminiscent of Alexander McQueen's Spring 1999 presentation. The show was staged at the Théâtre National de la Danse in Paris. Last year, designers Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant gave the internet its most-viral moment of the year with Bella Hadid's spray-paint dress. This year, Coperni took inspiration from a French fable and created another headline-grabbing sequence. In the now-viral clips, a robot dog is seen pulling model Rianne Van Rompaey's jacket. The robot also held on to Lila Moss's mini swipe bag, which he later returned along with the coat, symbolising harmony between the two. In the end, the robots take a bow as models strut down the runway for the finale. View this post on Instagram A post shared by coperni (@coperni) View this post on Instagram A post shared by coperni (@coperni) Also read: Highlights from Paris Fashion Week 2023-24: Models engulfed in flames, Anrealage's colour-changing outfits According to an official statement, Coperni's Fall Winter 23 collection "is a modern fable about the relationship between humans and technology". Unlike the original fable written in the 17th century, which raises questions relating to the balance of power between the human groups that make up society, Coperni "reinterprets the story and transposes it to the year 2023 with a positive vision of the future". View this post on Instagram A post shared by LE BANANA (@lebananas) The show presents Coperni's vision which is that there is neither a dominant nor a dominated, but that mankind and machine can live in harmony. Netizens had mixed reactions to the Coperni show. Fashion watchdog Diet Prada shared a clip from the show and penned, "Anyone else thinks this @coperni stunt could have gone terribly wrong?" Meanwhile, a user commented, "I guess it was all in the performance because the dress was anticlimactic." Another user said, "It's interesting...but McQueen is all I see."

Robot dog reveals model's outfit at Coperni show during Paris Fashion Week F/W 2023

<p>Balenciaga is returning to the runway on Sunday. The brand will showcase its fall/winter 2023/24 collection in the French capital city on March 5, as confirmed by the brand's team. This will be Balenciaga creative director Demna's first runway show since his hot streak came to a screeching halt late last year due to a few spectacularly ill-considered publicity campaigns.</p>

<p>Having fled war as a child, Georgian designer Demna made fashion a sort of battleground of provocative ideas at the helm of Balenciaga. It was tremendously successful — until it wasn't. The 41-year-old, who dropped his last name Gvasalia in 2021, came under fire for using BDSM-themed teddy bears in a campaign featuring children.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Critics panned the brand for placing toddlers next to leather-clad bears, condemning the brand for exploiting minors.</p>

<p>The campaign&nbsp;coincided with another ad campaign that included a strange background detail, a print-out of a US Supreme Court judgement about child abuse.</p>

<p>After the controversy caught global attention, Demna&nbsp;profusely apologised in an interview with Vogue and denied any intention to reference child abuse. However, the apology didn't do much for the brand since&nbsp;the damage had already been&nbsp;done.</p>

<p>"I have decided to go back to my roots in fashion as well as to the roots of Balenciaga, which is making quality clothes -- not making image or buzz," he told Vogue.</p>

<p>It is an unexpected moment of contrition for a designer who was named among the world's 100 most influential people by Time less than a year ago.</p>

<p>Demna is reportedly walking on thin ice.</p>

<p>"We are allowed to make a mistake in a group like Kering," said the boss of Balenciaga's parent company, Francois-Henri Pinault. "We don't have the right to make two."</p>

<p>He also barely escaped contagion from the controversies around his friend Kanye West, who opened Balenciaga's last show in Paris in September. The label cut ties with the rapper after his outbursts about Jews.</p>

<p>Before then, Demna's playful and inventive campaigns had made Balenciaga one of the hottest brands around.</p>

<p>A 2021 show saw guests arriving along a red carpet and then presented with a film of their entrance that revealed the models had been secretly mingling among them, wearing the new collection.</p>

<p>One campaign was done in the style of a dystopian newscast; another played with the tropes of reality TV.<br />
His daring designs included the head-to-toe black shrouds worn by Kardashian at the Met Gala in 2021.</p>

<p>"The unbridled creation has worked well but he will have to tame it down a little bit," said Arnaud Cadart, of fashion consultancy Flornoy Ferri.</p>

<p>It will be a tough reinvention, not least since one of Demna's tricks has been to turn the ugly into luxury, from his pimped-out Crocs to his notorious $1,500 garbage bags.</p>

<p>"Demna uses his radical approach to overturn stereotypes of what is normal and what is a luxury," said Serge Carreira, a fashion expert at Sciences Po University in Paris.</p>

<p>It is an approach that worked, attracting all kinds of stars from cerebral French actor Isabelle Huppert to brash US rapper Cardi B. There was a fascinating backstory, too.</p>

<p>A year ago, Demna's Paris show fell just after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, recalling his traumatic departure from Georgia at the age of 12, forced to flee ethnic cleansing by pro-Russian separatists.</p>

<p>The show saw under-dressed models walking out in an artificial snowstorm, carrying those infamous trash bags. Some found it distasteful but it was deeply felt.</p>

<p>The invasion "triggered the pain of a past trauma I have carried in me since 1993 when the same thing happened in my country and I became a forever refugee", he said.</p>

<p>Trained at the Beaux-Arts Royal Academy in Belgium, Demna worked for Maison Margiela and Louis Vuitton before creating his own label, Vetements, with his brother in 2014. He was named creative director at Balenciaga in 2015.</p>

<p>For many years, his trauma affected his work but he told Vanity Fair in 2021 that counselling, meditation and exercise had helped exorcise some demons. "Fashion used to feel like a battle for me. That is why there was a lot of aggression and darkness in what I did. Today I feel at peace with the system," he said.</p>

Critics panned the brand for placing toddlers next to leather-clad bears, condemning the brand for exploiting minors. The campaign coincided with another ad campaign that included a strange background detail, a print-out of a US Supreme Court judgement about child abuse. After the controversy caught global attention, Demna profusely apologised in an interview with Vogue and denied any intention to reference child abuse. However, the apology didn't do much for the brand since the damage had already been done. "I have decided to go back to my roots in fashion as well as to the roots of Balenciaga, which is making quality clothes -- not making image or buzz," he told Vogue. It is an unexpected moment of contrition for a designer who was named among the world's 100 most influential people by Time less than a year ago.

"We are allowed to make a mistake in a group like Kering," said the boss of Balenciaga's parent company, Francois-Henri Pinault. "We don't have the right to make two." He also barely escaped contagion from the controversies around his friend Kanye West, who opened Balenciaga's last show in Paris in September. The label cut ties with the rapper after his outbursts about Jews. Before then, Demna's playful and inventive campaigns had made Balenciaga one of the hottest brands around. A 2021 show saw guests arriving along a red carpet and then presented with a film of their entrance that revealed the models had been secretly mingling among them, wearing the new collection. One campaign was done in the style of a dystopian newscast; another played with the tropes of reality TV. His daring designs included the head-to-toe black shrouds worn by Kardashian at the Met Gala in 2021. "The unbridled creation has worked well but he will have to tame it down a little bit," said Arnaud Cadart, of fashion consultancy Flornoy Ferri.

"Demna uses his radical approach to overturn stereotypes of what is normal and what is a luxury," said Serge Carreira, a fashion expert at Sciences Po University in Paris. It is an approach that worked, attracting all kinds of stars from cerebral French actor Isabelle Huppert to brash US rapper Cardi B. There was a fascinating backstory, too. A year ago, Demna's Paris show fell just after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, recalling his traumatic departure from Georgia at the age of 12, forced to flee ethnic cleansing by pro-Russian separatists. The show saw under-dressed models walking out in an artificial snowstorm, carrying those infamous trash bags. Some found it distasteful but it was deeply felt. The invasion "triggered the pain of a past trauma I have carried in me since 1993 when the same thing happened in my country and I became a forever refugee", he said.

He was named creative director at Balenciaga in 2015. For many years, his trauma affected his work but he told Vanity Fair in 2021 that counselling, meditation and exercise had helped exorcise some demons. "Fashion used to feel like a battle for me. That is why there was a lot of aggression and darkness in what I did. Today I feel at peace with the system," he said.

Balenciaga's creative director Demna embarks on redemption path post scandals

<p>It was 30 years ago that Christian Louboutin borrowed his assistant's nail varnish to fix a problematic sole and inadvertently created a design that would make him globally famous.</p>

<p>It was 1993 and Louboutin, then 30, was examining a pink and purple shoe prototype. The black sole was too dominant, he felt, and so-called for his assistant.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I took the nail polish and erased the black. I wasn't thinking to add the red," he recalled to AFP in his brightly decorated Paris apartment.&nbsp;"But suddenly it was a revelation!"&nbsp;</p>

<p>The earlier idea of releasing a different colour sole each season never materialised.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"People who don't like to wear colours still like red," he said. "The obsession began with the fact that red is more than just a colour for me.&nbsp;I have very early memories of women dressed in black but already with red nails and lips. It began with cinema, the actresses of the 1950s like Sophia Loren."</p>

<p>He marked the 30th anniversary of his famous red sole this week with a dance performance at the Opera Comique and will soon open his first hotel in Portugal named "Vermelho" (Red).&nbsp;</p>

<p>The black stiletto with the red sole remains his best-selling model, despite the range of flats and mid-heels.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He rejects the idea of heels as anti-feminist, saying he delights in seeing customers put on a pair of stilettos and admire themselves "front, profile and back" without caring what their "husband, boyfriend or girlfriend will think".&nbsp;</p>

Louboutin on 30 years of red obsession

<p>Women's Fashion Week ended in Milan on Monday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here are some of the trends that emerged for autumn-winter 2023-2024 -- a return to elegance underscored by cut and quality, chic sensuality, and restrained classicism with a smattering of eccentric spice.</p>

<p><strong>- Elegant suits -</strong><br />
<br />
Italian fashion houses have ditched sporty designs and streetwear for elegant, classically cut suits in refined fabrics.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trousers are long and shoe-covering. Oversized power-shoulder jackets have made way for classic cuts -- waisted, belted or gathered at the back.</p>

<p>Dolce &amp; Gabbana showed suits with jackets that are cropped, matador style, or long but structured with wasp waists.</p>

<p>Fendi opted for slimline jackets with a single row of buttons, discrete lapel collars and a deconstructed men's waistcoat.<br />
Ferragamo was all cinched-waisted silhouettes, reminiscent of 1950s Hollywood divas.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Max Mara's coats are gathered at the back, Tod's jackets waisted or belted, while Moschino went for suits with houndstooth and gold buttons à la Chanel.</p>

<p>- Winter lingerie -<br />
The effects of climate change made themselves felt on the Milan podiums, where winter collections were diaphanous and revealing, and lingerie much in evidence.</p>

<p>Dolce &amp; Gabbana claimed ownership of this trend, showing a corset bearing a label with its creation date -- 1991. Its collection was almost entirely composed of black underwear.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Fendi layered baby dolls over poplin shirts.</p>

<p>Roberto Cavalli vamped on the theme, with long hippy versions in silk and velvet.</p>

<p>Gucci opted for bijou micro bras and underwear visible through see-through petticoats</p>

<p><br />
<strong>- Yeti coats -</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
All-enveloping Yeti-style coats in furry or feathery textiles also took to the podium -- a necessary addition to the skimpy underwear for those keen not to catch their deaths of cold.</p>

<p>Gucci offered up Cruella Deville and blue fake fur. Roberto Cavalli's fake furs are an object lesson in art imitating nature.</p>

<p>There were red feathers at Dolce &amp; Gabbana, multicoloured plumes at Moschino.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Max Mara's signature teddy bear coats are ultra snuggly.</p>

<p>MSGM varied the theme in mauve, lemon and white boucle, with fringes or long fur.</p>

<p>Ferragamo's iterations come in pearly grey or flaming red.</p>

<p><strong>- Red and black -&nbsp;</strong><br />
<br />
While black was everywhere, there was still a thread of red to jive it up, in all shades from scarlet to bordeaux.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ferrari, which has launched a ready-to-wear collection, stuck to its iconic red but kept it discreet, in the lining of sombre-hued coats or in black-bordered swatches on dressing gown coats.</p>

<p>Dolce &amp; Gabbana went for head-to-toe scarlet -- sheer red tights, red patent sandals, red dresses, red bags, red gloves, red lipstick.</p>

<p>Ferragamo added vermillion to minidresses and used it in splashes on black, on bakelite button to light up a black dress and in stitching on a black suit.</p>

<p>MSGM selected raspberry red for a dress embracing the rounded contours of a pregnant model.</p>

<p>Prada's leather suit skirts are scarlet, while Fendi demonstrated yet again how well red marries with electric pink.</p>

<p><strong>- Uniforms and utility garments -</strong><br />
<br />
Prada led the way with this trend, transforming the white of nurses' uniforms into long shirts with short trains and the severe, old-fashioned capes of World War Two operators.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The collection's officers' trousers, worn with cravats, are tight-fitted and its slimline slacks high-waisted to give them a feminine touch.</p>

<p>There were aviators' jackets at Tod's and leather officers' belts with little pockets.</p>

<p>Fendi's take on utility garments involved adding aprons to trousers or deconstructing blue workman's overalls.</p>

Women's Fashion Week ended in Milan on Monday. Here are some of the trends that emerged for autumn-winter 2023-2024 -- a return to elegance underscored by cut and quality, chic sensuality, and restrained classicism with a smattering of eccentric spice. - Elegant suits - Italian fashion houses have ditched sporty designs and streetwear for elegant, classically cut suits in refined fabrics. Trousers are long and shoe-covering. Oversized power-shoulder jackets have made way for classic cuts -- waisted, belted or gathered at the back. Dolce & Gabbana showed suits with jackets that are cropped, matador style, or long but structured with wasp waists.

Ferragamo was all cinched-waisted silhouettes, reminiscent of 1950s Hollywood divas. Max Mara's coats are gathered at the back, Tod's jackets waisted or belted, while Moschino went for suits with houndstooth and gold buttons à la Chanel. - Winter lingerie - The effects of climate change made themselves felt on the Milan podiums, where winter collections were diaphanous and revealing, and lingerie much in evidence. Dolce & Gabbana claimed ownership of this trend, showing a corset bearing a label with its creation date -- 1991. Its collection was almost entirely composed of black underwear. Fendi layered baby dolls over poplin shirts. Roberto Cavalli vamped on the theme, with long hippy versions in silk and velvet.

Elegance and sensuality grace Milan Fashion Week

Tonnes of donated clothes are sent to developing countries every year. In Kenya, one-third of all second-hand clothing shipped to the country in 2021 was 'plastic waste in disguise'. @alysonle tells you how this has become a major environmental and health problem for Kenyans.

Kenya becomes a victim of fast fashion

<p>Singer and music producer Pharrell Williams is donning a new hat. Williams has been appointed as the menswear creative director for the luxury brand Louis Vuitton. There had been rumours about the new appointment and on Tuesday, Williams' rep and the luxury brand confirmed the news to the media. Williams takes up the post which was earlier held by late designer Virgil Abloh.<br />
<br />
Williams` first collection for Louis Vuitton will be unveiled to the public in June during Paris Men`s Fashion Week.<br />
<br />
The singer has long been regarded as a red-carpet style icon, and his role as a brand ambassador with Chanel was extended in October of last year. He has also collaborated with brands such as Moncler, Adidas for its Stan Smith line, and Louis Vuitton on two occasions (including a line of aviator sunglasses).<br />
<br />
In addition, Williams founded the streetwear brands Billionaire Boys Club and IceCream, as well as the skin-care brand Humanrace.<br />
Louis Vuitton chairman and CEO Pietro Beccari said in a statement that he is delighted to welcome Williams "back home" after his previous collaborations with the house in 2004 and 2008."</p>

Singer and music producer Pharrell Williams is donning a new hat. Williams has been appointed as the menswear creative director for the luxury brand Louis Vuitton. There had been rumours about the new appointment and on Tuesday, Williams' rep and the luxury brand confirmed the news to the media. Williams takes up the post which was earlier held by late designer Virgil Abloh. Williams` first collection for Louis Vuitton will be unveiled to the public in June during Paris Men`s Fashion Week. The singer has long been regarded as a red-carpet style icon, and his role as a brand ambassador with Chanel was extended in October of last year. He has also collaborated with brands such as Moncler, Adidas for its Stan Smith line, and Louis Vuitton on two occasions (including a line of aviator sunglasses). In addition, Williams founded the streetwear brands Billionaire Boys Club and IceCream, as well as the skin-care brand Humanrace. Louis Vuitton chairman and CEO Pietro Beccari said in a statement that he is delighted to welcome Williams "back home" after his previous collaborations with the house in 2004 and 2008."

Louis Vuitton appoints singer Pharrell Williams as its creative director for menswear

<p>Designers often bring their most creative and most controversial game to the runway during fashion weeks, be it in New York or Milan or Paris. But, Singapore-born Nepali-American fashion designer Prabal Gurung had something else in mind for his latest NYFW show. The designer wanted to embrace his Hindu roots while flaunting his gorgeous designs on the runway, so he asked the models to wear sindoor and flaunt it like a queen. The results have taken social media by storm!</p>

<p>While showcasing his new line for Fall/Winter 2023 on Friday (February 10), he paid tribute to his roots and his homeland Nepal by making fashion meet tradition. His models wore sindoor in various colours, from saffron to burgundy and dusty pinks to white and even black along with the traditional red indoor. The colour of sindoor&nbsp;was in sync with the outfits the models were wearing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For those unaware,&nbsp;sindoor is a traditional vermilion red or orange-red coloured cosmetic powder usually worn by married Hindu women along the part of their hairline. In Hindu communities, it is a visual marker of a woman's marital status and ceasing to wear it usually implies widowhood.</p>

<p>Through his designs, he also explored the Buddhist concept of "anichya", which means impermanence. In butterfly motifs, wool jackets and hues of vermilion, saffron, burgundy and dusty pinks, Gurung was thinking of his homeland, Nepal, where he hasn't been since before the COVID-19&nbsp;pandemic. He was motivated by a 10-day meditative retreat he recently experienced to "silence everything".</p>

<p>"In Nepal, we talk about it all the time, what is present and how soon it can go," Gurung told The Associated Press in a backstage interview. "And there’s actually an optimism to that, especially during these challenging times." The idea, in part, was finding hope "in the dark places".</p>

<p>His silhouettes were sharper and longer this time around. His asymmetry challenged the idea of harmony. He draped softly and provided sharp angles at the same time. There were fluid, gliding skirts, wool jackets and glitzy golds and crystals.</p>

<p>In short, Gurung explained, New York Fashion Week for him was a "magical, mystery journey. An inward spiritual journey"&nbsp;taken at night back home in Nepal.</p>

<p>Moody, yes, but hopeful in turquoise and emerald silk organza, a black leather cropped jacket with a pink shearling collar and his butterfly print in a high-low, high-neck dress of black and white, and another in sheer red and black with sexy cut-outs at the hip.</p>

<p>There was an oversized sweater in an ivory and yellow butterfly knit and a pink and scarlet embroidered cocoon coat. "But there's a lot of strength to it,"&nbsp;Gurung said.</p>

<p>All grew from the silence on his 10-day vipassana retreat, where reading, phones and exercise were banned. On the third day, a painted lady butterfly landed on his window, and it gave him something to ponder.</p>

<p>Having grown up with "impermanence",&nbsp;Gurung said, he wanted to embrace the notion that nothing is fixed but constant shifts need not be feared. They must be embraced, he said, and he's got just the right clothes for the job. Kelsea Ballerini, who stunned in a yellow gown by Gurung at the Grammys, was among his front-row guests. She was accompanied by Becky G and Alyah Chanelle Scott.</p>

Prabal Gurung brings 'sindoor' to New York Fashion Week runway

<p>Balenciaga, which is considered one of the top luxury brands since decades, became controversy's favourite child after a series of its ad campaigns gained attention for all the wrong reasons. And, after staying silent for quite a while, its creative director Denma Gvasalia has decided to speak about the problematic ads that have resulted in a massive downfall of Balenciaga's image in the fashion world.</p>

<p>Speaking to Vogue, Demna said, "I realise that my work has been seen as provocative, but this specific situation would never be part of my, you know, provocative nature."</p>

<p>"This is where my error comes in. That was my big mistake. I didn't realise how inappropriate it would be to put these objects [in the image] and still have the kid in the middle. It unfortunately was the wrong idea and a bad decision from me. We should not have featured kids in images that included objects that were not related and inappropriate to them," Demna continued. "No one, myself included, raised a question of it being inappropriate. There were control processes in place, people involved—internal and external—but we just did not spot what was problematic. This was an error of judgment. I regret this a lot."</p>

<p>Talking about the reaction the ads received, Demna said, "It was a reaction I would never, ever want to cause. I mean, I’ve been called terrible things, which I’m not, and Balenciaga is not. That was difficult on top of the horror of being associated with that problem [of child abuse]. These are the mistakes we have made, and we have to be responsible for them. I would never want to mess around with a subject like that."</p>

<p><strong>What was the controversy?</strong></p>

<p>In November last year, Balenciaga released two advertising campaigns which stirred major controversy.&nbsp;One ad campaign was to promote its holiday offering called Gift Shop. The other campaign was for the brand's Spring 2023 collection.</p>

<p>Within days of the first campaign's publication, social media got flooded with angry reactions. Netizens&nbsp;condemned the house for showing children holding bags, which looked like&nbsp;teddy bears wearing harnesses. Some even slammed the band for picturing kids near an array of grown-up items, such as a Balenciaga-branded wine glass. Many felt the bags referenced BDSM, and that their presence on the shoot was an abhorrent sexualisation of children.</p>

<p>A week later, the Spring 2023 campaign got published online and it instantly went viral. Many spotted three disturbing props in the campaign that added to the furore. Netizens spotted&nbsp;a printout from the Supreme Court ruling in the case of United States v. Williams, which confirmed that First Amendment rights didn't include the promotion of child pornography. The copy of the judgement was&nbsp;half visible from beneath a Balenciaga handbag.</p>

<p>There was also a book by Belgian artist Michaël Borremans, whose controversial work&nbsp;around sinister-seeming images of toddlers playing in disturbing ways has often garnered negative attention. A fake framed college certificate was also seen hanging on the wall which bore&nbsp;a name that, when googled, brought up the identities of many real people, including that of a convicted child abuser.</p>

These are the mistakes we have made, and we have to be responsible for them. I would never want to mess around with a subject like that." What was the controversy? In November last year, Balenciaga released two advertising campaigns which stirred major controversy. One ad campaign was to promote its holiday offering called Gift Shop. The other campaign was for the brand's Spring 2023 collection. Within days of the first campaign's publication, social media got flooded with angry reactions. Netizens condemned the house for showing children holding bags, which looked like teddy bears wearing harnesses. Some even slammed the band for picturing kids near an array of grown-up items, such as a Balenciaga-branded wine glass. Many felt the bags referenced BDSM, and that their presence on the shoot was an abhorrent sexualisation of children. A week later, the Spring 2023 campaign got published online and it instantly went viral. Many spotted three disturbing props in the campaign that added to the furore. Netizens spotted a printout from the Supreme Court ruling in the case of United States v. Williams, which confirmed that First Amendment rights didn't include the promotion of child pornography. The copy of the judgement was half visible from beneath a Balenciaga handbag. There was also a book by Belgian artist Michaël Borremans, whose controversial work around sinister-seeming images of toddlers playing in disturbing ways has often garnered negative attention. A fake framed college certificate was also seen hanging on the wall which bore a name that, when googled, brought up the identities of many real people, including that of a convicted child abuser.

Balenciaga's creative director Demna addresses controversial ads for the first time, apologises

<p>American fashion designer Sergio Hudson took the fashion world on a&nbsp;nostalgic trip as he showcased his latest collection this Saturday at New York Fashion Week. The fun, colourful collection featured shoulder pads, neons, and graffiti prints, which were the biggest trends of&nbsp;the early '90s.</p>

<p>Celebrities in attendance included journalist Joy Reid, 'The View'&nbsp;co-host Sunny Hostin, model and brand founder of Baby Phat, Kimora Lee Simmons, who reached the venue to support her daughter Aoki Lee Simmons walking the runway.</p>

<p>Hudson, who has dressed the likes of Michelle Obama and Beyoncé, reportedly borrowed inspiration from artist Jason Naylor's colourful and borderline psychedelic murals for the collection.</p>

<p>Hudson told The Associated Press that Naylor added his vision to his brand name iconography and the two merged their styles into graffiti letters that were spray painted on white T-shirts, incorporated into the fabric of the collection and sequined designs. Aside from Naylor’s striking use of colours for his art, Hudson also said the artist's murals have a deeper meaning for him.</p>

<p><img alt="Sergio Hudson collection" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a334a649-c583-46b2-be5d-5fd89da5b52f" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20%2867%29_1.png" /></p>

<p>During a hard time for his business when he was living in Los Angeles, Hudson said, he came across a Naylor mural. "He did this great inspirational painting on the other side of the street," Hudson said. "When I saw it, it just kind of touched me emotionally. I always said if I ever get the opportunity, I was going to do a collection inspired by him."</p>

<p>While meshing Naylor's fun colours and lettering with his show and collection, Hudson paid homage to another artist. After the Met Gala unveiled its theme to honour late Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld, Hudson said that he too wanted to add his own interpretation of Lagerfeld's infamous '90s rebrand of Chanel by adding playful tailoring to his looks.</p>

<p>Hudson even brought his youthful flair with his red carpet looks as models adorned in slinky dresses with sparkly cutouts walked the runway. Keeping with the times, Hudson brought out a look that has caused some recent commotion in the fashion community — no pants. One model could be seen wearing a cropped suit jacket with what looked like black high-waisted undies.</p>

<p>This season, Hudson said he wasn’t designing for a specific person in mind but for everyone. "I am proud of the American fashion industry for the strides they made to be more inclusive," he said. "They have made a quantum leap in the past year or two."</p>

Sergio Hudson brings '90s vibes to NYFW with neons, shoulder pads and more

<p>This year at New York Fashion Week, we saw designers styling not just models but also some little furry friends.

<p>10 models graced the runway in gorgeous outfits designed by the likes of Nicole Miller, Brook Wilder, and Victor de Souza among others.</p>

Menswear designers debut new collections at New York Fashion Week

<p>Christian Siriano lined his New York Fashion Week runway this Thursday with thousands of multi-coloured flowers and put wide-brimmed hats worthy of muse Audrey Hepburn on some of his models to top off a big week.</p>

<p>First, there was the custom burgundy power suit he made for Vice President Kamala Harris for Tuesday’s State of the Union. He nailed it in one trip to Washington, DC, in one fitting.</p>

<p>“And we had the Grammys and fashion week,” Siriano told The Associated Press in a backstage interview. “We had no time and I was like, well, we hope it works. It’s just such an honour. We wanted to make her look really beautiful and powerful.”</p>

<p>Then there was his update of Alicia Silverstone’s iconic “Clueless” yellow plaid skirt set for her Rakuten Super Bowl commercial airing Sunday. He even scored a cameo as a student in Cher Horowitz’s debate class.</p>

<p>Siriano and Silverstone are long-time pals and she sits often on his front rows. She was away filming this time around. Lindsay Lohan, with her brother Dakota and one of her sisters walking in the show, attended with Quinta Brunson and Julia Stiles.</p>

<p>“Growing up, literally any young fashion designer is obsessed with ‘Clueless.’ I mean, Cher is your muse. It felt really full circle,” he said of his Super Bowl moment.</p>

<p>Siriano had another muse on his mind for his latest collection: Hepburn. To be precise, Hepburn in a rose garden at midnight. He was inspired by a 1990s TV documentary series she did with Michael York, 'Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn'.</p>

<p>The series had Hepburn visiting spectacular gardens in England, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, the U.S. and elsewhere.</p>

<p>Siriano honoured the series with Japanese-influenced hats in purple check and large 3D floral embellishments in looks of fuchsia, or as he described it, “orchid purple.” He incorporated roses into a swirly black-and-white print and offered up sunny yellow in solids and colour-blocked looks.</p>

<p>And there were youthful, girly little black dresses, more matronly, roomy dresses and other looks, and a standout barely there evening dress in body-hugging, delicate tulle.</p>

<p>Siriano took his flower mission seriously, sending out one model in one of his big hats adorned with huge blossoms, with more huge blossoms on the top of a matching fuchsia pantsuit.</p>

<p>Wearable? It would take courage. A beautifully cut, long tuxedo coat with pants, all in the same pinky-purple hue, might be easier.</p>

<p>All thanks to Hepburn’s first and only television series.</p>

<p>“It was incredible and fabulous,” Siriano said of the show, “and just very inspiring.”</p>

NY Fashion Week: Siriano channels Audrey Hepburn in a garden

<p>World-renowned Spanish designer Paco Rabanne, who was born on February 18, 1934, in the Basque town of Pasajes, Gipuzkoa province, is no more! Rabanne, who was best known for his metallic ensembles and space-age designs of the 1960s, died at the age of 88 in Portsall, Britanny.</p>

<p>The death of Francisco Rabaneda y Cuervo, Rabanne’s birth name, was confirmed by a spokesperson for the Spanish group Puig, which controls the Paco Rabanne label he exited two decades ago.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a statement obtained by WWD, José Manuel Albesa, president of Puig’s fashion and beauty division, stated, "Paco Rabanne made transgression magnetic. Who else could induce fashionable Parisian women to clamour for dresses made of plastic and metal?"</p>

<p>He added, "Who but Paco Rabanne could imagine a fragrance called Calandre – the word means 'automobile grill', you know – and turn it into an icon of modern femininity? That radical, rebellious spirit set him apart: There is only one Rabanne."</p>

<p>To conclude, Albesa wrote, "With his passing, we are reminded once again of his enormous influence on contemporary fashion, a spirit that lives on in the house that bears his name."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the chairman and CEO of Puig, Marc Puig, said, "I am deeply saddened by the passing of Mr Paco Rabanne. The history of Puig and Paco Rabanne began in the late 1960s with the launch of Calandre, the perfume created soon after the designer released '12 Unwearable Dresses in Contemporary Materials'."</p>

<p>Calling Rabanne a "major personality in fashion", Puig shared that the late designer was known for his "daring, revolutionary and provocative vision", which he "conveyed through a unique aesthetic".</p>

<p>"He will remain an important source of inspiration for the Puig fashion and fragrance teams, who continuously work together to express Mr Paco Rabanne’s radically modern codes. I extend my sincere condolences to his family and to those who have known him," Puig added.</p>

Spanish fashion designer Paco Rabanne dies aged 88

<p>American singer-rapper Doja Cat's Paris Fashion Week looks deserve premium spots in the history of avant-garde fashion. The 27-year-old never leaves a stone unturned when it comes to curating unforgettable, campy looks and she always manages to bring something new to the world of beauty and showbiz.</p>

<p>And, you have to give her some credit for always thinking out of the box. Just when you think she has worn her most shocking style yet, she manages to one-up herself in the most jaw-droppingly stunning way. Her latest appearance at&nbsp;Viktor &amp; Rolf's show during Paris Fashion Week proves just that!</p>

<p>After sending her fans and the fashion world into a frenzy for her bold red look at the Schiaparelli show, the diva is grabbing attention for her androgynous look, which featured a moustache, goatee, and unusual eyebrows, all made of faux eyelashes.</p>

<p>At the couture show&nbsp;this Wednesday, the 27-year-old artist, whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, arrived in a long brown coat, matching trousers, green and white striped shirt, and blue-tinted sunglasses. But it was her faux eyelashes and how they were placed that caught everyone's attention.</p>

<p>With her re-imagined pinstripe suit, she flaunted a comical-looking beard and moustache, which also triggered a meme-fest online.&nbsp;</p>

American singer-rapper Doja Cat's Paris Fashion Week looks deserve premium spots in the history of avant-garde fashion. The 27-year-old never leaves a stone unturned when it comes to curating unforgettable, campy looks and she always manages to bring something new to the world of beauty and showbiz. And, you have to give her some credit for always thinking out of the box. Just when you think she has worn her most shocking style yet, she manages to one-up herself in the most jaw-droppingly stunning way. Her latest appearance at Viktor & Rolf's show during Paris Fashion Week proves just that! After sending her fans and the fashion world into a frenzy for her bold red look at the Schiaparelli show, the diva is grabbing attention for her androgynous look, which featured a moustache, goatee, and unusual eyebrows, all made of faux eyelashes. At the couture show this Wednesday, the 27-year-old artist, whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, arrived in a long brown coat, matching trousers, green and white striped shirt, and blue-tinted sunglasses. But it was her faux eyelashes and how they were placed that caught everyone's attention.

True blue fashion icon! Netizens go gaga over Doja Cat's drag king-esque look for Paris Fashion Week

<p>Kylie Jenner made heads turn at Schiaparelli's couture runway during Paris Fashion Week as she arrived, in a black strapless gown adorned with a hyper-realistic faux lion's head brooch, to see the label's Spring-Summer 2023 couture collection.</p>

<p>The 25-year-old's chic figure-hugging black velvet dress looked perfect with the huge stuffed accessory as she headed to the venue this Monday.</p>

<p>For her footwear, she opted for statement gold heels and paired them with a snakeskin gold handbag.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, on the runway, Naomi Campbell flaunted a black faux fur coat with a wolf's head emerging from her left shoulder. Canadian model Shalom Harlow donned a strapless snow leopard tube dress with a roaring feline head bursting through the bust.</p>

<p>According to the show notes, the collection was inspired by Dante's "Inferno" and the nine circles of hell, which is actually a metaphor for the doubt and creative torment most artists experience. The collection literally draws from the three beasts that appear in the 14th-century poem. Creative director Daniel Roseberry reimagined the leopard, the lion and the she-wolf in the collection and left everyone stunned.</p>

Kylie Jenner dons huge lion's head as brooch with a black dress at Schiaparelli show during Paris Fashion Week

<p>American singer and rapper Doja Cat, who has delivered several chartbusters like 'Kiss Me More', 'Woman', 'Need to Know', and 'No Police' among others, flaunted her impeccable, other-worldly and unique fashion sense in Paris on Monday.</p>

<p>Covered in red paint, glitter, and over 30,000 blood-red Swarovski crystals, the Grammy Award winner arrived for the Schiaparelli Haute Couture show during Paris Fashion Week and grabbed eyeballs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To match her gorgeous red strapless Schiaparelli Haute Couture dress which featured a hand-knitted skirt with lacquered wooden beads and a red silk faille bustier, the singer-rapper ensured that her entire head, face, chest and arms were artfully bedazzled in red. And, the results were jaw-droppingly amazing.</p>

<p>According to a post featured on the official Schiaparelli Instagram account, Doja paired her ensemble with&nbsp;Trompe lœil knee-high boots. To accessorise, she opted for&nbsp;a dramatic wrap along with&nbsp;giant gem earrings in the same scarlet shade.</p>

<p>Celebrity makeup artist Pat McGrath spent over five hours to hand glue the crystals on Doja's body. She called the look -&nbsp;"Doja's Inferno", which is partly inspired by Dante's "Inferno", according to a press release. The 14th-century epic poem also inspired this season's Schiaparelli designs.</p>

<p>In an Instagram post, Pat gushed about working with Doja. He wrote, "Such a pleasure working with the gorgeous @DojaCat and the amazing @DanielRoseberry on the 'Doja's Inferno' look for @Schiaparelli's FW23 Haute Couture collection."</p>

<p>He continued, "Doja's sublime patience during the 4 hours and 58 minutes it took to create the look with #TeamPatMcGrath, which was covered in over 30,000 hand-applied @swarovski Crystals, was inspiring. The final product was a magical, mesmerising masterpiece of sparkling brilliance. Xx."</p>

<p>Other than Doja, Kylie Jenner also made a jaw-dropping appearance at the Schiaparelli show. She arrived wearing a black gown affixed with a huge lion head. The faux animal head was reportedly made from "hand-sculpted foam" as well as "wool and silk faux fur". The piece was "hand painted to look as life-like as possible, celebrating the glory of the natural world", Schiaparelli explained via an Instagram post.</p>

Major highlights of Paris Fashion Week Men's A/W 2023/24

<p>The onset of winter is often marked by Indian mothers buying and then forcing their kids to wear the so-called "monkey cap", which is a unique beanie-style cap that covers the head, ears, neck, and mouth and arguably makes one look quite unflattering. It's sold by local vendors at very cheap rates and is seen as a necessity for the winter season.</p>

<p>But, would you buy the same ski mask cap at a whopping price of over $392 from fashion house Dolce &amp; Gabanna? Since many would answer this question with a big "no", the luxury brand is getting brutally trolled by netizens for its accessory collection and its hefty price tag.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The chatter around the overpriced cap started when Swati Moitra posted a screenshot of what looks like a regular monkey cap priced at Rs 31,990 after a discount on Twitter. In the tweet, she wrote, "As a Bengali, I am horrified and vindicated." The tweet went viral on the platform in no time. It currently has over 370,000 views on the micro-blogging site.</p>
