MAKE IT HAPPEN: Chiara Ferragni is being named today as the global brand ambassador for Swiss watchmaker Hublot.
She joins a star-studded roster that includes football legend Pelé, tennis champion Novak Djokovic, soccer star Kylian Mbappé and track and field champions Dina Asher-Smith and Usain Bolt, as well as France’s DJ Snake, who designed the latest limited edition of the watch firm’s Big Bang timepiece.
Described by Hublot as a “natural-born winner” who “shines her aura over everything she loves and chooses,” Ferragni will also be the global face of the brand’s women-oriented watches, effective immediately.
The digital entrepreneur was previously seen sporting the limited-edition Big Bang Millennial Pink unisex watch, designed by Garage Italia founder Lapo Elkann, which opened the door to a conversation with the brand.
“A fusion of passion and determination has shaped who I am, across all my roles, and forged the businesswoman I have become. This same fusion has also made Hublot the company it is today,” the digital entrepreneur said in a statement announcing her new role, expressing her appreciation for Hublot’s recognition of individual skills and pursuit of “dreams of innovation while respecting traditions.”

The red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards is returning.
The MTV VMAs, which will take place this Sunday, have produced many memorable red carpet moments. Since its debut in 1984, the celebrities at the VMAs have continued to stun fans and the red carpet with their head-turning outfits. From backside-bearing dresses to snakes as accessories, the VMAs perfectly captured the essence of the 1980s into the early Aughts.
During the 2010s, the VMAs became an awards show that boasted a more elevated palette of outfits, with long, ethereal dresses and form-fitting two-piece sets.
Additionally, some celebrities have even paid homage to famous outfits of others. In 2014, Amber Rose wore a backside-bearing dress as a tribute to the see-through dress worn by Rose McGowan in 1998. The same year, Katy Perry and Riff Raff wore matching all-denim outfits as a nod to Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, both of whom wore Canadian tuxedos to the American Music Awards in 2001.
Supermodel Cindy Crawford wore a bondage-inspired, all-black ensemble by Gianni Versace to the 1992 VMAs, a look that was later copied by her daughter, model Kaia Gerber, for her 18th birthday in 2019.
The ceremony has not just witnessed iconic fashion looks over

The Albanian women’s wear designer is the recipient of the 2021 LVMH Prize for Young Designers, which she was awarded at a star-studded ceremony in Paris on Tuesday.

Dojaka, who is based in London, is a graduate of Central Saint Martins where she launched her namesake label in 2017. She received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the university. During her studies, she interned for designer brands like Peter Pilotto and Fyodor Golan.
After showing her graduate collection two years later, she created a capsule collection with Ssense and was selected to show as part of the emerging designer support platform, Fashion East.

Kanye West may be making a foray into homeware soon.
West’s company Mascotte Holdings Inc. applied to trademark the name “Kanye West” for numerous home decor products on Aug. 27, according to an application filed at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
The application covers a range of home items, including blankets, curtains, pillow cases, bath towels, nylon flags and even products for children and pets.
While this would be the rapper’s first venture in the home category, he’s experienced a successful career in the fashion industry with his Yeezy brand, which has collaborated with Adidas on numerous collections over the years. Most recently, West teamed with Gap to bring his Yeezy brand to the retailer. The first piece in the Yeezy x Gap collection, a blue puffy nylon jacket, was revealed in June.
According to Architectural Digest, West has always had a passion for architecture and interior design. He would apparently go to Barnes & Noble and purchase Architectural Digest magazines when he was younger.
West and his now soon-to-be ex-wife Kim Kardashian West spent almost seven years renovating their home, which is believed to be worth up to $60 million. The interior design of the house, which features large, open spaces to embrace
