Olivier Rousteing reveals what makes him tick

The latest name to star is WSJ. Magazine’s My Monday Morning series is Olivier Rousteing. The Balmain creative director divulges that his day starts with green tea, lemon juice, orange juice, and yoga—after all, he works through the weekend at his Paris design studio so he needs a gentle way to ease in. Beyond his skincare musts—Augustinus Bader and Avène—and his non-negotiable tailoring—”I always need to wear a tailored jacket to feel like I’m on top of my game. Which is sometimes not true”—the 36-year-old designer also speaks candidly to the publication about representation, dreams, and vulnerability. As for what he’s watching? Why Emily in Paris, mais oui! “I love seeing my city through the eyes of Emily, who’s American. I feel like it’s really fun and really peaceful and that’s what I need when

And just like that, I watched “And Just Like That …” (Insert emoji of air being let out of a tire, if such an emoji exists. And if it doesn’t, why not?) I was not wearing a hat when I watched it, because I am not Carrie Bradshaw, despite being in her age demographic. Maybe it would have been better if I had.

Because that is, at least for me, the ultimate message of both “Sex and the City” and its misbegotten sequel: Clothing can bring joy. Oh yes, I know that it’s supposed to be all about the power of friendship, but it always strained credibility that these four very different women (now down to three, Samantha having wisely decamped to London) would be friends, let alone that they would have time for endless lunches and drinks and sidewalk strolling in heels. Their friendship was a lovely fantasy,

WAUSAU, Wis. (WAOW) — Third Street Lifestyle Center welcomed Eboni Fashions in 2021. 

Owner Contrell Wraggs is a self-employed welder in Wausau who noticed a need for urban, diverse fashions in the city. 

Before now, he would travel to nearby cities in order to find clothing that more fit his style. “Two hours to go get a jacket. An hour and a half to go get a pair of pants,” Wraggs said. 

He started telling people about his idea and eventually was offered a space on the corner of Washington Street and N 3rd street in downtown Wausau.

He met his now, landlord at the Wausau Center Mall as a teen. He worked at a pizza place in the food court where Mark Craig, current General Manager of Compass Properties, was his boss.

Wraggs was the only Black employee in the food court.

When Kanye West first met a Birkin-slinging Kim Kardashian (all Hervé Leger bodycons and gladiator heels) he saw not only his future wife but a prospective client. Within the space of a few months, the rapper had introduced Kim to Riccardo Tisci, who was then heading up Givenchy, gutting her wardrobe of chunky belts and peplum tops, as he creative-directed a romance cut from black leather and spandex. Kris Jenner may have managed her every endorsement but it was Kanye who transformed the FlatTummyTea reality star into the bonafide style icon she is today. 

Though they are merely two dates into their relationship, it looks as though Julia Fox is set to follow in the same trajectory as Kim. Last night, the actor diarised her latest rendezvous with Kanye for Interview magazine, posing with Ye as he provided a hotel room’s worth of outfit choices for Fox. With the

2021 was a year of big moves, devastating losses and cautious but optimistic steps towards a return to life as we knew it — which were, more often than not, met with jarring reminders that we’re still in the middle of a global pandemic and that maybe there’s no such thing as a “return to normal.”

A new political administration in the U.S. had immediate implications on the fashion industry, from introducing us to new faces that would become ubiquitous to a return to using clothing as a messaging tool in D.C. Then, brands began reacquainting themselves with the IRL event, growing in scale and head count as the year progressed. Meanwhile, a global supply chain crisis had an impact on companies big and small — and likely will continue to be an issue in 2022 — and the industry mourned the loss of some of their own.
