Crocs is embarking on its latest collaboration with a fashion brand.
The footwear brand is teaming with U.K.-based fashion label Kurt Geiger for a two-piece holiday-inspired collection. Both styles are reimagined versions of Crocs’ well-known clog in a glossy black, with one shoe designed with a faux fur trim and the other featuring chunky rainbow-colored crystals.
“We used the pumped-up BEA construction from Crocs and decorated them with some of Kurt Geiger London’s most recognizable iconography, resulting in two unique designs,” reads a statement from the fashion label.
The two styles reflect Kurt Geiger London’s brand ethos by using its signature rainbow design, which is meant to signify “kindness, joy, inclusivity and hope.” The other style’s faux fur trim and eagle head charm are also signatures of Kurt Geiger, with the latter featured on the brand’s classic Kensington bag.
The collaboration is just the latest for Crocs, which regularly teams with fashion brands, celebrities and a wide range of other companies.
Some of Crocs’ biggest collaborations this year include its second collaboration with Balenciaga, which included high-heeled Crocs clogs; a collaboration with Diplo for psychedelic-themed Crocs; a second collaboration with Justin Bieber and his Drew House fashion brand, and a ’90s-inspired collaboration with beauty brand

Huda Beauty is the top beauty brand of 2021.
This is according to a new report from Cosmetify, a beauty data platform, which determined the most popular beauty brands this year by looking at social media followings and engagement and Google searches.
Huda Beauty — which was founded by beauty influencer Huda Kattan in 2018 and has since expanded with other complementary brands like fragrance brand Kayali, skin care label Wishful and others — also received the top spot on Cosmetify’s ranking last year.
The brand is followed by MAC Cosmetics in second, Anastasia Beverly Hills in third, Avon in fourth and The Body Shop in fifth.
Conversely, Cosmetify looked at the beauty brands that are losing their popularity among customers. Receiving the top spot is Jeffree Star Cosmetics, launched by the influencer of the same name in 2014, which decreased in popularity by 72.2 percent. Following is KVD Vegan Beauty — formerly known as Kat Von D Beauty before the namesake tattoo artist sold her shares and exited the brand — which decreased in popularity by 71.6 percent. Clinell, a brand that specializes in disinfectant products, was in third with a decrease of 67 percent.
The report also looked at “rising stars” in beauty,

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has named Billie Eilish as their Person of the Year for 2021.
Eilish, who has been a vegan since she was 12, has been a longtime vocal advocate for animal protection, pushing for designers and brands to stop utilizing leather and furs in their collections. This year, Eilish launched a vegan Air Jordan shoe with Nike, revealing on her Instagram that the sneakers are “100 percent vegan leather with over 20 percent recycled material.”
Additionally, the award-winning singer launched her first fragrance in October, which contained no animal-derived ingredients and was not tested on animals.
At her Met Gala debut in September, at which she also served as a co-chair, Eilish veered off her signature red carpet style and opted to wear a custom old Hollywood glam-inspired peach ballgown by Oscar de la Renta, which was vegan and silk-free. She said she only agreed to work with the fashion house if the brand agreed it would ban fur, which it did in August.
Eilish is the youngest recipient of the annual award, which has previously been given to the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Pope Francis, Joaquin Phoenix and Anjelica Huston, among others.

The Wests made an appearance at the Louis Vuitton show in Miami.
On Tuesday, during Virgil Abloh’s spring 2022 men’s wear presentation with the French fashion house, Kim Kardashian West, Kanye West and their daughter, eight-year-old North West, attended the show. Each of them wore all-black and sunglasses to match.
Kardashian West and West have made few public appearances together in the last year since the former filed for divorce in February, citing “irreconcilable differences” and agreed to joint custody of their four children, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm West.
It also marks the former couple’s first appearance together since Kardashian West reportedly started dating comedian and “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson.
Louis Vuitton announced that the spring 2022 show will “pay tribute to the life and legacy of a creative genius.” Abloh, who was also the chief executive officer of his own successful luxury brand, Off-White, passed away on Sunday at the age of 41 after a long, private battle with cardiac angiosarcoma, a rare form of cancer. Abloh’s final show with Louis Vuitton will be held in January.

Vanessa Hudgens is the face of Fabletics’ latest launch, “Velour,” a line out today made entirely of the fabric.
“Following our successful launch of Fabletics Lounge, we wanted to create a new collection for consumers that features comfort, style and versatility, while putting a unique spin on the velour fabric,” Felix del Toro, chief merchandise and design officer for Fabletics, told WWD in an exclusive statement. “As 2021 comes to a close, we find that more consumers are wearing their loungewear out and about as part of their everyday outfits. We created a collection that can be both fashionable and comfortable. With the launch of Velour, Fabletics has reinvented the 1970s fabric for today’s modern woman.”
Targeting 18- to 45-year-olds, the 32-piece collection is the brand’s first release as part of its new “lifestyle” category. Rooted in activewear, the company — founded in 2013 by the TechStyle Fashion Group — has also introduced men’s, sleep and “cold-weather essentials.”
Vanessa Hudgens in Fabletics’ $49.95 (“VIP” price) “Gigi Velour Bodysuit.”
Priced between $12.95 and $69.95 (the discounted “VIP” pricing for those signed up for the brand’s flexible membership program), the new line showcases ’70s-influenced silhouettes and designs, including bodysuits, biker shorts, high-waisted trousers and wide-legged jumpsuits.
