Kurt Geiger and Crocs Team on Limited-edition Collection

Blackpink’s Lisa Makes Runway Debut with Celine

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

The hype around “House of Gucci” is trickling over to shopping.
The Ridley Scott-directed film, which depicts a dramatization of the Gucci family, has caused a spike in searches related to the fashion house and its iconic items. According to data from ShopStyle, a digital shopping platform, searches for “Gucci” have increased 31 percent on the platform since the film’s release over Thanksgiving weekend.
The shopping platform has also seen large increases in searches for some of Gucci’s well-known pieces and styles, such as “Gucci Belt” (up 73 percent), “Gucci Handbags” (up 67 percent) and “Gucci Loafers” (up 50 percent).
ShopStyle also saw a spike in searches related to the costumes in “House of Gucci,” such as for “pinstripe suits,” which increased by 67 percent.

The actors’ suits were not Gucci, but custom designed by Ermenegildo Zegna.
Other searches related to the film’s costumes include “Polka Dot Dress” — up 25 percent — which references a brown and white polka dot dress worn by Lady Gaga in the film when

The Go-Go’s Belinda Carlisle on Her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Fashion Looks

Blackpink’s Lisa Makes Runway Debut with Celine

It was a long time coming.
This year, finally, the all-female punk band The Go-Go’s was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The ceremony and concert was in Cleveland at the end of October, with fellow inductees Tina Turner, Foo Fighters and L.L. Cool J present, among others, but it’s just now airing Nov. 20 on HBO Max.
Drew Barrymore introduces The Go-Go’s onstage, calling them “the first band I ever loved,” and donning a towel and face cream as a nod to the 1981 album cover “Beauty and the Beat” to prove it.
Carlisle, known in the early 1980s for her DIY style, wearing impossibly chic garbage bag dresses on stage, for example, turned to her longtime friend, designer Jeannine Braden to dress her.
Braden’s brand Le Superbe struck the perfect balance between punk and polish, with Carlisle wearing several items from the holiday collection, including a jeweled sweater, cosmic-patterned pleated skirt, tulle-and-denim pencil skirt and gold sequin dusted smoking jacket.

Blackpink’s Lisa Makes Runway Debut with Celine

MILAN — The future of Bottega Veneta lies in continuity.

WWD has learned that the brand’s ready-to-wear design director Matthieu Blazy is to succeed Daniel Lee as creative director of the brand. Blazy will present his first collection for Bottega Veneta in February 2022.
Upon the sudden exit of Lee last Wednesday after three years, WWD was the first to identify Blazy as a possible internal successor.
“Matthieu Blazy is an extraordinarily talented individual, whom I am proud and excited to entrust with the creative helm of our luxury house,” said Leo Rongone, chief executive officer of the company, in a statement issued at the end of trading on Monday, confirming the appointment. “Bottega Veneta has always been equated with signature craftsmanship and distinctive creativity. Matthieu’s appointment will further enhance the modern relevance of our brand and accelerate our growth, while preserving the values that are at the core of Bottega Veneta.”
Blazy is expected to bring more of the same, building on his predecessor’s new and strong take on the storied label, which has helped fuel Bottega Veneta’s sales and increase its reach around the world, revamping it with coveted accessories, from the Pouch bag to the Lido sandals.
Born in Paris in 1984, Blazy is

What is ‘Bottega Green?’ A Look at How Daniel Lee Created the Most Popular Color of 2021

Blackpink’s Lisa Makes Runway Debut with Celine

While many heritage fashion brands cemented their position in the color world early on in their history — think Tiffany blue, Hermès orange and Christian Louboutin red — Bottega Veneta’s signature bright green hue, referred to as “Bottega Green,” is a new development courtesy of now-departing creative director, Daniel Lee.
Lee, who revealed on Wednesday he is stepping down from his role in a surprise announcement, is credited with infusing a fresh dose of modernity and youthfulness into Bottega Veneta during his three-year tenure. The fashion designer has introduced a lengthy list of memorable styles into the brand, including several “It” bags and highly coveted shoes.
“Bottega Green” is another of Lee’s most memorable style contributions from during his time at the heritage design house, and one of his newer introductions.
The designer introduced the hue during Bottega Veneta’s spring 2021 ready-to-wear collection presented in December to a socially distant crowd in a venue that was lit in the “Bottega Green” color. The first look in the collection was also a monochromatic “Bottega Green” outfit consisting of a tweed skirt suit and matching mules. Lee also presented a similar “Bottega Green” fitted tweed jacket with matching slides and handbag.

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

Blackpink’s Lisa Makes Runway Debut with Celine

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

‘Sex and the City’ Reboot: A Closer Look at the Fashion Moments So Far

Blackpink’s Lisa Makes Runway Debut with Celine

Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte are back as if they’ve never left.
Since the “Sex and the City” reboot, called “And Just Like That…,” has commenced filming, most of its cast members have been seen sprinkled throughout various locations in Manhattan. Eager fans have seen some of their favorite characters in neighborhoods like the East Village, Upper East Side, Meatpacking District and SoHo, to name a few.
And while it has been more than 17 years since the original show wrapped and over a decade since fans have seen the whole crew, including Samantha Jones, together in the franchise’s second movie, it looks like the show’s essence of individual style remains alive.
From classic Manolo Blahnik pumps to iconic WNYC tote bags, the outfits worn by Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw, Cynthia Nixon’s Miranda Hobbes and Kristin Davis’ Charlotte York are still uniquely true to their characters. (While Nixon is photographed carrying a Bernie Sanders canvas tote, the Fendi baguette bag also makes its triumphant comeback on Parker.)
Though Patricia Field, the show’s original designer, isn’t involved this time around, her longtime codesigner Molly Rogers is. There is currently an Instagram account called @justlikethatcloset dedicated to all the outfit details to the upcoming reboot. The
