Fashion is Setting Foot in the Metaverse

December 06, 2021 at 08:22PM As the digital and physical worlds continue to converge, the new age of the internet — the “metaverse” — is transforming the fashion industry. One luxury house fronting the shift is Balenciaga. The brand (known to embrace virtual clothing) recently announced plans to launch a business unit specifically dedicated to exploring opportunities in the metaverse. Balenciaga released its Fall 2021 collection through a gaming app and famously partnered with the video game Fortnite to create a series of “skins” for the game’s characters. So far, most of the fashion world’s investments in the metaverse have been through video game skins (cosmetics that customize characters,), reports Business of Fashion. These developments provide a glimpse of what fashion in the metaverse could look like. It’s called fashion, look it up. @balenciaga Read more: https://t.co/Oy6YI3bKoB pic.twitter.com/LEOOSM3ifS — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) September 20,…

December 06, 2021 at 05:34PM Kim Kardashian of Skims and Fendi’s Kim Jones officially announced their collaboration in late October, with the collection debuting at fendiskims.com and selling quickly.

Jonah Hill and Sarah Brady’s Red Carpet Debut Was Anything but Subtle, Down to Their Shoes

December 06, 2021 at 04:47PM What better way to commemorate a couple’s red carpet debut than to wear matching outfits head-to-toe? For the Don’t Look Up world premiere on Sunday evening, Jonah Hill and his girlfriend, Sarah Brady, showed up in identical Gucci suits, both in a beautiful shade of powder blue. The duo, who just made their relationship Instagram official in September, took their coordination quite seriously. In fact, they even wore the same turquoise jacquard mules from Manolo Blahnik and only strayed in the jewelry department. Styled by Ezra Woods, Jonah donned a long blue beaded necklace and a variety of flower brooches, while Sarah chose chain and charm necklaces, matching earrings, and a different assortment of brooches, all from Fred Leighton. Take a closer look at the pair’s twinning looks - and a glimpse of their sweet romance - in…

Gucci Designer Alessandro Michele Talks About Those Freaky Heads From His Infamous Runway Show

December 06, 2021 at 04:18PM Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele brought us back to his controversial 2018 runway show in an interview with 60 Minutes, where he addressed his idea to have models carry wax replicas of their own heads. Most will remember when brand muse Jared Leto repurposed the move at the 2019 Met Gala, but Michele took us back to the origin of the concept. “I was in the crazy idea that when you are a teenager you are growing,” he said. “You have to care about your personality. It was like a way to say that you were carrying yourself. It is not easy, you know? Because sometimes you try to be someone else.” When asked if the theatrical display was meant to spark shock value, he said: “It’s not for that reason. I feel not shocked from these kinds…

I Give This High-Street Coat 24 Hours Before It Sells Out

December 06, 2021 at 11:28AM Niche though it may sound, but Monki’s ‘squiggle’ print (technical term there) has been a real success story for the brand over the last 12 months. Firstly there was the squiggle print trousers, which both myself and Editor in Chief Hannah snapped-up—they promptly sold out and continued to do so through multiple restocks. Thus followed everything from squiggle print dresses to bikinis and, like the original style, none of them remained on shelves for long. Well, we are happy to announce that Monki has just dropped what we consider to be the best iteration of the squiggle print to date and, of course, it comes in coat form.With a very AW21 fuzzy texture, loose, long-line fit and dramatic monochrome colourway, this may just win the prize for this year's coolest statement-making high-street coat. We’ve already spotted the style on the likes of Lindsey Isla…

Metabolism can affect so many different factors: weight loss/maintenance/gain, sleep, immune system, fitness performance, energy levels,…
