Bella Hadid Joins Victoria’s Secret’s VS Collective

Bella Hadid Joins Victoria’s Secret’s VS Collective

Bella Hadid is returning to Victoria’s Secret.
The model revealed today that she is joining the company’s VS Collective, Victoria’s Secret’s initiative that brings together a diverse group of women for collaborations, partnerships and campaigns.
Hadid was previously a Victoria’s Secret Angel, walking in the company’s fashion shows from 2016 to 2018. However, in 2020, she cut ties with the company after joining more than 100 others in accusing former L Brands chief marketing officer, Ed Razek, of inappropriate behavior. Razek has since stepped down from the company.
The model spoke about her decision to return to Victoria’s Secret in an interview with Marie Claire, stating: “It has been a few years since I’ve done anything with Victoria’s Secret. What magnetized me to coming back was them coming to me and really proving to me that, behind the scenes, Victoria’s Secret has changed so drastically.…There was a type of way that, I think, a lot of us women who used to work with Victoria’s Secret felt. And now, six of the seven [VS] board members are all female. And there’s new photo shoot protocols that we have. So a lot has changed. I feel like the world really deserves a brand like Victoria’s

Blackpink’s Lisa Fronting the Celine Haute Parfumerie Collection

Bella Hadid Joins Victoria’s Secret’s VS Collective

FACE FORWARD: Blackpink’s Lalisa Manobal ­— the Thai music sensation known simply as Lisa to the girl band’s legion of fans — has a new gig: as the global brand ambassador for the Celine Haute Parfumerie collection.
Lisa is known to have worked closely with the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton-owned house’s creative director Hedi Slimane since 2019, and she became Celine’s global ambassador in September 2020.
The rapper’s other fashion forays include a limited-edition collection inspired by her debut album, “Lalisa,” which was released this past September. She also served as a juror for the 2021 Andam awards this summer.
Lisa now features in a Celine Haute Parfumerie campaign, which is lensed by Slimane. The black-and-white shot, posted on Celine’s Instagram page on Thursday, shows her stretched gracefully along a metallic, very Parisian, staircase banister.
The high perfumery collection, which was launched in 2019 with 11 fragrances, draws on the designer’s androgynous perspective, with the scents being for both men and women. They carry touches of tree moss, iris, rose or chypre notes. In line with the designer’s penchant for full command, they are also meant to reflect Slimane’s personal history.

Kurt Geiger and Crocs Team on Limited-edition Collection

Bella Hadid Joins Victoria’s Secret’s VS Collective

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 Named Biggest Beauty Brand of 2021

Bella Hadid Joins Victoria’s Secret’s VS Collective

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,

Billie Eilish Named PETA’s Person of the Year for 2021

Bella Hadid Joins Victoria’s Secret’s VS Collective

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.
“Billie Eilish is making sure that

Kim Kardashian West, Kanye West and North West Attend Virgil Abloh’s Final Louis Vuitton Show in Miami

Bella Hadid Joins Victoria’s Secret’s VS Collective

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.
