Reports: Kim Kardashian West Wears Balenciaga Wedding Dress at ‘Donda’ Listening Event

Kanye West appears to have enlisted soon-to-be ex-wife Kim Kardashian West for his recent “Donda” listening event.
Multiple outlets report that Kardashian West appeared alongside the rapper at Chicago’s Solider Field Thursday night, where he held his latest listening event for his upcoming album. The event was livestreamed, where viewers saw what appeared to be Kardashian West dressed in a Balenciaga fall 2021 couture wedding dress with a long veil covering her face.
The sartorial choice, while especially notable considering the couple’s current divorce proceedings, is not completely random given that West enlisted Balenciaga designer Demna Gvasalia as creative director for his “Donda” release events. West himself has worn pieces from the designer’s Balenciaga collections for his other “Donda” listening events, including a studded black jacket from the Balenciaga fall 2020 collection.

It was reported that Kardashian West filed for divorce from West in February after nearly seven years of marriage. The couple has four

These Black Women-owned Consignment and Vintage Shops Are Giving Pre-loved New Life

As 2021 begins to wind down and the secondhand market continues to ramp up, consumers whose closets are filled with firsthand, full-price clothing are becoming fewer and fewer.
And in a market that has, at times, suffered from a humdrum of uninspiring product, more shoppers are reveling in the hunt that vintage and consignment stores provide. Whether it’s Chanel that’s a season old or Sergio Rossi heels Gabrielle Union was sporting on her Instagram, finding the goods at a price more can afford has become a retail delight unto itself, and online vintage stores are delivering on that experience. More and more, diverse founders are bringing more diverse assortments to the space.
Here, WWD checks in with four Black female entrepreneurs in the vintage and consignment game about how they source inventory, their thoughts on sustainability, the new consumer and more.

WWD: What made you get into the vintage business?

Who Are the Characters in the ‘House of Gucci’ Movie?

The buzz around the “House of Gucci” film has been steadily growing since the project was announced in November 2019, and now as the film is set to debut this fall, interest in the Gucci family is growing among moviegoers and fashion fanatics.
Ridley Scott’s film offers a dramatized version of the real-life events surrounding the murder of Maurizio Gucci, who was the head of the Gucci fashion house in the ’90s and was the grandson of founder Guccio Gucci. Gucci’s death was orchestrated by his ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani, who hired a hit man to kill her ex-husband outside of the Milan Gucci offices.
As the film’s posters and trailer were released in late July, there is newfound interest in the film’s real-life characters that are portrayed by the star-studded cast of Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Al Pacino, Jared Leto and Jeremy Irons. Here, WWD takes a closer look at each character’s story ahead of the film’s debut. Read on for more.

Everything to Know About Beyoncé’s Newest Ivy Park Release

Looks like the next drop of the Adidas x Ivy Park collection will be centered around rodeo and Black cowboys.
Beyoncé began teasing the latest collection of her line with Adidas by posting an image of actor Glynn Turman and his granddaughter, Melinda, wearing denim with three stripes — jackets, jeans and even chaps over shorts for Melinda under the tag line: Ivy Park Rodeo.
A video embedded in the image features “The Wire” and “Fargo” actor talking about how he how he spent his days in the stables of Central Park shoveling manure so he could ride for free and how important Black cowboys were in settling the American West.
On the Ivy Park website, a script is overlaid on a photo of Melinda that provides details on Turman. “Born and raised in New York City, it is sometimes hard to imagine that the sometimes-director of stage productions has also been a real-life cowboy,” it reads. “He says from as long as he could remember, he has had a fascination with horses. An accomplished horseman and rodeo champion off-screen, he and his wife, Jo-Ann, cofounded and direct a free Western-style summer camp, ‘Camp Gid D Up’ for inner-city and at-risk youth since
