Known for her retro style, the auction included dresses, bustiers, handbags and shoes from designer brands like Moschino, Dolce & Gabbana, Hermès, Miu Miu, Giorgio Armani and Fred Perry.

The dress went for $243,200, 15 times the original estimated price of $15,000.

Supreme Teases a Collaboration with Tiffany & Co.

Amy Winehouse Auction Garners  Million

In its latest dalliance with luxury – and its first with a jeweler – Supreme has hinted at an upcoming collaboration with Tiffany & Co.
The New York-based skate brand and the iconic jeweler simultaneously teased the project on their Instagram channels, posting a video of a young man wearing a white T-shirt and a pearl necklace. The camera zooms past the spider tattoo on his arm to focus on the necklace, which has a silver tag dangling as a pendant.
Both brands put no text along with the post, only an emoji of chain links.

Jewelry is a surprising category for Supreme, which frequently teams up with brands from activewear or outdoors categories such as Nike, The North Face, Vans, Champion, Timberland, Lacoste, Levi’s and Stone Island.
Its 2017 collaboration with Louis Vuitton on leather goods and apparel helped ignite a trend for luxury streetwear, and Supreme followed up in 2018 with a range of luggage with Rimowa, another brand owned by French conglomerate LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.

Tati Westbrook Shutters Beauty Brand

Amy Winehouse Auction Garners  Million

Tati Westbrook is shuttering her namesake beauty brand.
The beauty influencer, who has 8.7 million YouTube subscribers and 2.2 million Instagram followers under her @glamlifeguru handle, revealed in a YouTube video on Thursday that she is closing her Tati Beauty brand nearly two years after she launched the makeup line.
“Tati Beauty is closing its doors,” Westbrook said in the video. “We are no longer selling product online and I say that with a heavy heart. I loved creating this brand. I had huge goals, dreams and visions for the future and you guys know prior to reviewing product on YouTube I’ve been a lifelong makeup lover.”
Tati Beauty first launched with its Textured Neutrals Palette, a 24-pan eye shadow palette that Westbrook said sold out 12 hours after the brand launched. The brand released several other eyeshadow palettes during its two years on the market, as well as a beauty blender.
Westbrook explained that the brand’s closure is due to two things: the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the current legal battle regarding her Halo Beauty supplements brand. In March 2020, the Tati Beauty Instagram account posted an update that it would no longer be able to ship new orders because its fulfillment center

Cristóbal Balenciaga, the founder of Balenciaga, worked tirelessly at mastering women’s couture and created a blueprint for the fashion designers of today.
Pillow hats, sack dresses and baby-doll dresses are a few of his creations that considerably impacted the fashion world. Balenciaga’s vision and passion for couture still flow through the brand’s veins as their designers uphold the late designer’s push for innovation in fashion. 
Called “Fashion’s Picasso” by British fashion photographer Cecil Beaton, he was one of the most prominent designers of the 1900s, and his artistry has influenced the fashion world for more than 100 years. A couturier from the age of 12, he mastered his talents by creating patterns, shapes, cuts and designs that hadn’t been seen in women’s fashion previously.
Early Life
Balenciaga was born on Jan. 21, 1895 in Getaria, Spain. He was the youngest of five children to José Balenciaga Basurto, who died when Balenciaga was young, and Martina Eizaguirre Embil, a seamstress who taught sewing classes in her village.
