Pharrell Williams Expands Humanrace Into Body Care

Pharrell Williams Expands Humanrace Into Body Care

Pharrell Williams is expanding his Humanrace skin care brand to a new category.
The Grammy-winning musician’s brand announced on Friday that it is entering the body care category with two body bars, the Reenergizing Whiteclay Body Bar and the Energy Channeling Charcoal Body Bar, which are both made from a soap-free formulation.
“We’ve spent the last year educating people how to take care of their skin and adhere to a routine, but we believe that the routine doesn’t stop with your face,” Williams said in a statement. “You need to care for your body, too. Your body deserves its own time.”
Both products are made with ingredients like snow mushroom extract, kaolin clay and rice powder and follow the brand’s ethos of minimal, yet effective products. The Reenergizing Whiteclay Body Bar is said to cleanse and hydrate the skin and the Energy Channeling Charcoal Body Bar is meant to smooth and refine the skin. The body bars launch alongside the Humanrace Ceramic Body Bar Dish, which is handcrafted in Arita, Japan. Like the brand’s other products, the body bars are packaged in eco-friendly materials.

Williams launched Humanrace last November as a three-step routine with three products: a rice powder cleanser, a

Questions Swirl Over Bottega Veneta, Daniel Lee Split

Pharrell Williams Expands Humanrace Into Body Care

MILAN — What happened at Bottega Veneta?
The news on Wednesday evening that the Italian company and Daniel Lee were parting ways took the industry by surprise, given the success and level of attention the creative director brought to the brand in a little more than three years.
Precisely because of this upward trajectory, sources, who mainly spoke on condition of anonymity, were left wondering what could have triggered this abrupt split. Many speculated that Kering’s decision was a “brave” one that had to be taken despite the successful streak, which leads them to believe personal issues were stronger than the bottom line.
One source said a “highly dependable, veteran expert in the operations and supply chain department at the Vicenza headquarters, a key reference point for the company, quit last week, and this is just the latest exit in so many. It must have been the last straw.”
Another source said several highly skilled artisans in Vicenza were “struggling and “unhappy with the atmosphere at the company.”
According to multiple sources, Lee was highly creative and influential with his designs, but clashed with several people within the company and was defined as “uncommunicative.”
“At a moment when the company is healthy and the brand performing so

A Look Back at Daniel Lee’s Most Memorable Bottega Veneta Styles

Pharrell Williams Expands Humanrace Into Body Care

Fashion designer Daniel Lee revealed today that he would be leaving Bottega Veneta after more than three years as the design house’s creative director.
Lee has been highly praised for his work at Bottega Veneta since 2019, injecting the heritage brand with a fresh dose of modernity and youthfulness with his many sleek and playful accessories that have become some of the brand’s most popular items. His designs inspired a popular Instagram account, @newbottega, which documented the designer’s new and highly coveted designs. Over the last three years, the account has accumulated a following of more than 870,000.
Arguably Lee’s most ubiquitous design for Bottega Veneta is the signature Pouch bag, which was introduced in his first collection with the design house in 2019. The bag became an instant favorite among influencers, fashion industry executives and customers and has been described as one of the newest “It” bags.
Lee followed the Pouch bag — which now comes in a plethora of colors, sizes and styles — with several other memorable styles across handbags and shoes and even with a bright shade of green, which has since been dubbed “Bottega green.”
Here, WWD looks back at some of Lee’s most memorable Bottega Veneta styles during

Congratulations are in order for Ivy Getty and Tobias Engel who tied the knot over the weekend.
The heiress, the great-granddaughter of billionaire oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, married Engel, a photographer, in a lavish wedding held in San Francisco’s City Hall and officiated by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The weekend reportedly involved a star-studded guest list that included Anya Taylor-Joy and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and a 1960s-themed bash at the Palace of Fine Arts.
Getty wore a custom wedding gown designed by John Galliano for Maison Margiela Haute Couture, which featured four layers and shards of real broken mirrors, and shoes by Christian Louboutin. Her bridal party, including Taylor-Joy who was her maid of honor, also wore dresses by Galliano.

Pharrell Williams Expands Humanrace Into Body Care

Lady Gaga is giving a nod to “House of Gucci” with her red carpet look.
The Oscar-winning singer and actress attended the highly anticipated film’s London premiere Tuesday night in a dramatic look from Gucci’s spring 2022 ready-to-wear collection, which debuted on Hollywood Boulevard just a week ago. The collection itself, with its lavish gowns and suits, was inspired by Hollywood and costume design.
Lady Gaga’s look is a purple draped maxidress in a silk chiffon with a flowing cape that she whirled around on the red carpet. She paired the look with sheer, crystal-detailed opera gloves and sheer lace, thigh-high socks worn with black platform boots.

A Closer Look at the Fendi x Skims Collection: See the Photos

Pharrell Williams Expands Humanrace Into Body Care

The Fendi x Skims collaboration is finally here.
The collection is dropping on Nov. 9 at 6 a.m. PST on the dedicated fendiskims.com e-commerce site and will also be available at select Fendi flagships and retailers worldwide. The line features form-fitting silhouettes and bonded leather dresses in neutral tones, pink and black. The products range from $100 to $4,200.
The codesigned capsule was mostly inspired by a 1979 Fendi collection designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld, which highlighted twisted tube tops, pop colors and tight sashes.
“The idea for the collaboration came about when my team and I were sitting around a table at the studio in Rome,” Kim Jones, artistic director of Fendi womens collection, said in a statement. “Suddenly, all the women went silent and started looking at their phones. I didn’t know what was going on, but they were waiting for the launch of the new Skims collection. It was then that I thought: let’s do something together.”
“Both Fendi and Skims have a cultural power very different from each other, but equally as strong,” Kim Kardashian West, founder of Skims, added. “We share a desire to push boundaries, think differently and challenge convention which is why we found so much

Elizabeth Debicki Channels Princess Diana in Her ‘Revenge Dress’ for ‘The Crown’

Pharrell Williams Expands Humanrace Into Body Care

Elizabeth Debicki caused a social media frenzy over the weekend as she perfectly channeled Princess Diana in her famous “revenge dress” while filming the fifth season of “The Crown.”
Debicki, who will play the late princess for the Netflix hit series’ final two seasons, wore a re-creation of the silk black evening dress with an off-the-shoulder design and asymmetric hemline that Princess Diana wore to a 1994 dinner at the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens. She also donned a similar layered pearl choker and the princess’ iconic bob.
The original dress was designed by Christina Stambolian and the princess had reportedly owned it for three years but never chose to wear it since it seemed too “daring.” According to The Times, the original dress retailed for approximately 900 pounds.

The princess wore the gown the night her estranged husband Prince Charles admitted to being unfaithful to her during their marriage. The admission was televised in a documentary called “Charles: The Private Man, the Public Role,” which was broadcast the same night of the dinner. The royal couple had been formally separated for two years at that time. The two would officially divorce in 1996.
