In the film, the satchel is seen on pivotal character Moneypenny, played by British actress Naomie Harris, a BAFTA and Academy Award nominee. Rounding out the capsule collection, the Bond Carryall, rendered in calf leather, and Bond Duffel, in luggage-hued cotton canvas, were designed for traveling in style, and feature an exclusive MKC x 007 leather luggage tag.
“Jet set glamour, sophistication, speed, energy—these are all words that come to mind when you think about the world of James Bond,” says designer Michael Kors. “They’re also at the core of our brand DNA. This collaboration was really the perfect union of fashion and film.”
To celebrate the launch of No Time To Die and the unveiling of the MKC x 007 Bond Capsule Collection, Michael Kors will host a star-studded VIP party at its new Milan showroom, followed by a private dinner, during Milan Fashion Week in February.
Calvin Klein, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PVH Corp., andCalvin Klein Fragrances, a division of Coty Inc., today revealed the new CK ONE underwear and jeans collection and CK EVERYONE, a clean fragrance, both inspired by the raw and rebel spirit of the original CK ONE. The collection and fragrance are unveiled in a global advertising campaign, proclaiming, “I am one, I am many. I love everyone of me.”
A tribute to individuality and the freedom of self-expression, the campaign shot by Glen Luchford stars a group of modern multi-hyphenates including musician and actor Eliot Sumner, skater and photographer Evan Mock, musician and makeup artist MLMA, rapper and dancer Priddy the Opp, and models Cara Taylor and Parker Van Noord. The energic, enigmatic visuals explore the many aspects of self, boldly embracing and proudly showcasing to the world a collective individuality and shattering of the status quo. It is a powerful celebration for those unconstrained by boundaries, gender norms and definitions. The advertising campaign will be featured globally and supported by digital, social, high impact outdoor locations, print and TV.
The new fashion collection and fragrance mark the next chapter of the iconic CK ONE story. Jeans and underwear include staple wardrobe pieces with genderless appeal. CK ONE underwear features graphic prints with bold all-over monogram logos, repeating roses and new colorwaves in key cotton and micro fiber styles. Camo prints, color-blocked styles with a ribbed, sock-inspired waistband and a Recycle capsule featuring underwear and t-shirts made from recycled plastic water bottles will also drop later this season. The CK ONE jeans collection includes logo tees, graphic hoodies and timeless denim silhouettes such as oversized trucker jackets, denim vests, and mom and dad jeans, as well as skirts and shorts with raw hem cuts.
Calvin Klein introduces its first clean, gender-free and environmentally conscious fragrance, CK EVERYONE. CK EVERYONE is formulated with naturally derived ingredients, naturally derived alcohol, is vegan, recyclable, and comes in a folding carton that contains 30% post-consumer recycled materials. CK EVERYONE is a bold new fragrance for every generation, inspired by the authentic and youthful-minded. Master perfumer and creator of the original CK ONE fragrance, Alberto Morillas crafted a clean and genderless fragrance exuding freshness using 79% of naturally derived ingredients and ignoring the traditional signifiers of gender, as reflected in the non-conformity of both the scent and campaign. A citrus fragrance that uplifts with zesty organic orange oil is paired with a blue tea accord and a vibrant cedarwood base creating the perfect combination of clean freshness, sweet sensuality and provocative edge. Combining two icons, CK EVERYONE pays homage to the iconic CALVIN KLEIN UNDERWEAR waistband with a reusable signature elastic band on the bottle.
Coinciding with the launch in North America is the I LOVE EVERYONE OF ME POP-UP in New York City. Open to the public from Thursday, February 13 – Saturday, February 15, visitors will be able to explore and shop the new CK EVERYONE fragrance and CK ONE underwear and jeans. A dedicated fragrance room will allow visitors to discover the different fragrance notes while immersive photo moments play with the concept of individuality referenced in the ad campaign. At the experience, visitors will also have the opportunity to have their image projected on the brand’s famed Houston Street billboard during the duration of the activation.

In addition to appearances by these notable innovators, Macy’s will showcase Black History Month-themed windows throughout February in Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. Macy’s locations. The windows were created in partnership with Maplewood, New Jersey artist, Lisa Hunt. “My work explores the spatial and meditative relationships found within repeat patterns,” she commented. “The windows are expressed with a minimalist approach inspired by Art Deco, traditional African and Eastern textiles comprised of graphic shapes, symbols, and re-imagined typographic elements. The screen printed patterns employ an aesthetic use of gold leaf as a nod to its adorning use throughout art history.”
ONYX, Macy’s Black Employee Resource Group, was instrumental in developing this year’s campaign including the theme, display windows, and volunteer opportunities across the country. Throughout the campaign, Macy’s will contribute a total of $10,000 to charitable organizations such as Jerry Rice’s 127 Foundation and local Urban Leagues.

“I have a unique history with Coach that dates back to ‘All I Have,'” said Lopez. “It is a brand that embodies the essence of being born and bred in New York and I, of course, deeply relate to that. In all it creates, Coach promotes individuality and optimism in its style as well as a sense of authenticity and inclusion. Like me, we’re both New York originals, who create a unique mix of high-fashion with street edge. With Stuart’s designs and Juergen’s photography, we captured special and unique visual moments for this campaign with the iconic New York City skyline as the perfectly tailored backdrop.”

Set in New York City, Coach’s home since 1941, “Originals Go Their Own Way” communicates Creative Director Stuart Vevers‘ evolved vision for the house. Spontaneous, real and playful to reflect the inclusive and optimistic spirit of the house and New York City, it celebrates authenticity, individuality and those who forge their own unique way in life. Emphasized by the inspiring stories of Lopez and Jordan, both known as courageously independent individuals who have paved new paths while staying true to themselves, the campaign advocates for doing things your own way and expressing yourself through purpose and style.

“I’m proud to be part of the new spring campaign,” said Jordan. “The story of what makes an original is very meaningful to me for many reasons, and it was a great experience working with Stuart and Juergen to tell that story in a way that feels fresh and powerful.”
To bring the campaign to life, Vevers worked with photographer Juergen Teller, whose partnership with Coach began in the fall of 2019 and has continued through its holiday and spring campaigns. Shot in iconic locations around the city, including the Edge at Hudson Yards and the High Line, where Coach held its show for the Spring collection, the images also feature the sculpture “Brick House” by the artist Simone Leigh. The public artwork, a 16-foot tall bronze bust of a Black woman which references numerous architectural styles, is a symbol of inclusion, optimism and strength that sits beneath the house’s headquarters, and was featured in its recent show.
“At the start of a new decade, I felt instinctively that it was right to celebrate the color, energy and optimism of New York, our hometown and inspiration as a house,” said Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers. “I loved working with Juergen to bring my vision for Spring to life, and to tell the stories of Jennifer and Michael in a unique and authentic way.”
“Originals Go Their Own Way” spotlights the house’s new Spring bags, including the Hutton, the Rambler, and the men’s Pacer Backpack and Belt Bag—and a ready-to-wear collection featuring a bold new statement in leather, a reference to the house’s roots.
Coach is a Tapestry, Inc. brand. Tapestry is publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker TPR.

In recent years, there has been increased awareness of Muslim consumers as an important segment of the global fashion industry, and increased visibility for designers and brands whose clothing responds to diverse interpretations of modesty. Featuring garments and styles from around the world, “Contemporary Muslim Fashions” focuses on the intersection of regional dress styles, global fashion trends and personal attitudes toward modesty. It considers how Muslim women define themselves and are defined by their dress, providing a snapshot of the current moment in Muslim modest fashion. Modest fashion refers to garments that are both highly fashionable and provide sufficient body cover to address cultural concerns for modesty. Many Muslim women and men dress modestly, in accordance with their faith, but individual and collective interpretations of modesty vary widely.

“Contemporary Muslim Fashions,” the first major museum exhibition to explore the rise of the modest fashion industry, will be on view in winter 2020 at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. Organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, this pioneering exhibition examines how Muslim women—those who cover and those who do not—have become arbiters of style within and beyond their communities. On view Feb. 28, 2020, through Aug. 23, 2020, the exhibition features approximately 80 ensembles drawn from established and emerging designers in high-end fashion, streetwear, sportswear and couture, as well as about 40 photographs that will contextualize the garments on view.
“Cooper Hewitt will host a slate of fashion exhibitions in 2020, including ‘Contemporary Muslim Fashions’ and ‘Willi Smith: Street Couture,’ which honor the innovations and legacies of fashion designers and fashion movements that have expanded design’s horizons,” said Caroline Baumann, director of the museum. “As America’s design museum, Cooper Hewitt is committed to championing inclusion and the power of design to transform lives. This exhibition shines a spotlight on the underrepresented sector of Muslim modest fashion and connects diverse audiences through the universal language of fashion.”
New video content, produced by Cooper Hewitt, will introduce the designers behind the looks and expand on the design process. Through interviews and footage of designers at work in their studios, visitors will be introduced to a new generation of designers—75% of the designers, artists and influencers in the exhibition are female, Muslim and under 40 years of age—and their focus on entrepreneurship, inclusion and sustainable and ethical practices. A spotlight on the rich textile heritage of Southeast Asia, including batik and ikat dyeing and songket weaving, will highlight the craftsmanship and textile traditions that inform many of the contemporary designs on view. A final video will explore how materials research and high-performance apparel make it possible for modest-dressing women and girls to engage in sports at the recreational and competitive levels, from sports hijabs and full-coverage swimwear.

‘I am connected to the idea of unity, togetherness and challenging the perception of what love is today. This for me is the real spirit of the season. It’s one of my favorite times of the year – when I can stop, reflect and reconnect with those who make me feel happy and at home, no matter where I am in the world. I loved the idea of bringing together a group of people that have been so supportive of me since I joined Burberry to celebrate my first holiday campaign for the house,” states Riccardo Tisci, Burberry Chief Creative Officer.

“It
was a real pleasure working on this project for Burberry. Working
with Riccardo is about connection, it’s about the back and forth of
discussing creative ideas and it’s this that makes our jobs even
more interesting and exciting. We have been friends for many years so
I guess we know each other’s sensibilities – there are always a
lot of laughs!” says Mert and Alas. “My favourite
Christmas memory is when we were preparing a Christmas dinner and the
oven literally blew up! I burnt my lashes and of course we had no
turkey. Disappointing, but it was a funny night!”
And
the cast itself seems to have had a fun and memorable time as well.

CARLA
BRUNI: “I love the
concept of the campaign – this big group of different people coming
together. I had a fabulous time with Riccardo and was thrilled to
find myself behind the lens of Mert & Marcus again. On set,
Riccardo gave me this feeling of freedom and modernity – his talent
is beyond words. You can see that he has this profound and precious
knowledge of fashion, and has this simplistic way of using the past
to invent the future. My most precious festive memory is a Christmas
Eve in a castle completely buried in snow in Touraine.”
Costume Institute Benefit on May 4 with Co-Chairs Nicolas Ghesquière, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Emma Stone, Meryl Streep, and Anna Wintour
The
Metropolitan Museum of Art recently announced that The Costume
Institute’s Spring 2020 Exhibition
will be About Time: Fashion and Duration, on view from
May 7 through September 7, 2020 (preceded on May 4 by
The Costume Institute Benefit). Presented in The Met Fifth
Avenue’s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Exhibition Hall, it
will trace more than a century and a half of fashion, from 1870 to
the present, along a disruptive timeline, as part of the Museum’s
150th anniversary celebration. Employing philosopher Henri
Bergson’s concept of la durée—time that flows, accumulates,
and is indivisible—the exhibition will explore how clothes generate
temporal associations that conflate the past, present, and future.
The concept will also be examined through the writings of Virginia
Woolf, who will serve as the “ghost narrator” of the
exhibition. Michael Cunningham, who won the Pulitzer Prize
for Fiction for his novel The Hours, which was inspired by
Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, will write a new short story for the
exhibition catalogue that reflects on the concept of duration.
The
exhibition will feature approximately 160 examples of women’s
fashion dating from 1870—the year of The Met’s founding and the
start of a decade that witnessed the development of a standardized
time system—to the present. The majority of objects in the show
will come from The Costume Institute’s collection, including
gifts made as part of The Met’s 2020 Collections Initiative
in celebration of the Museum’s 150th anniversary.
A
linear chronology of fashion comprised predominantly of ensembles in
black will run through the exhibition reflecting the progressive
timescale of modernity, and bringing into focus the fast, fleeting
rhythm of fashion. Unlike traditional chronologies, which reduce the
history of fashion to a limited number of decade-defining
silhouettes, this timeline will be presented as a ceaseless continuum
that is more complete and comprehensive in scope. Interrupting this
timeline will be a series of counter-chronologies composed of
predominantly white ensembles that pre-date or post-date those in
black, but relate to one another through shape, motif, material,
pattern, technique, or decoration. For example, a black silk faille
princess-line dress from the late 1870s will be paired with an
Alexander McQueen “Bumster” skirt from 1995, and a
black silk velvet bustle ensemble from the mid-1880s will be
juxtaposed with a Comme des Garçons “Body Meets Dress –
Dress Meets Body” dress from 1997.
The
exhibition will conclude with a section on the future of fashion,
linking the concept of duration to debates about longevity and
sustainability.
“This
exhibition will consider the ephemeral nature of fashion, employing
flashbacks and fast-forwards to reveal how it can be both linear and
cyclical,” said Max Hollein, Director of The Met. “As
such, the show will present a nuanced continuum of fashion over the
Museum’s 150-year history.”

media business model that changed every eight weeks to open a new
theme while engaging brands as sponsors for each themed story. Macy’s
acquired STORY in 2018 and its founder, Rachel
Shechtman, now serves as Macy’s brand experience
officer. STORY relaunched in spring of 2019 as STORY

Children’s fashion brand Janie and Jack and fashion influencer Eva Chen has debuted the second installment of the Juno Valentine by Janie and Jack Collection. The collection consists of clothing, swimsuits, shoes, and accessories inspired by the fashion icons from Chen’s newest children’s book, Juno Valentine and the Fantastic Fashion Adventure, published by Feiwel and Friends and released on October 29th. Featuring over 50 fashion and accessory pieces, the collection is inspired by iconic women from Eva Chen’s new fashion fairytale—who Juno and Finn meet on their quest to find the perfect outfit for school picture day.
Janie
and Jack is a design house with every kid at its heart—because
individual style starts early. Each season collections feature modern
twists on classic fashion. Janie and Jack is known for family
moments, thoughtful details and memorable gifts.
“I’m
so excited to be partnering with Janie and Jack again for our second
Juno Valentine collection,” says Chen. “Writing the second
book was an adventure, and seeing the clothes come to life at the
hands of Janie and Jack’s talented design team has been a thrill!
My personal favorite are the deliciously fluffy tulle dresses—they’ll
be on every girl’s wish list—and the bandana print puffer.”

fashion for young fans of Hollywood glamour with classic silhouettes,
including a tunic adorned with pearl button necklace, black ponte
pants and leather ballet flats. Dresses, perfect for any celebration,
include a black and white embroidered organza dress with black velvet
bodice and a red tulle dress with a satin bow bodice. Inspired by
Marie Antoinette and her reported love of sweets, styles are
portrayed through whimsical dresses, skirts and tops with layers of
pastel tulle, ruffles and oversized rosettes. Standout dresses
include a French blue embroidered organza style and a blush pink
tulle dress, designed with just the right amount of twirl-factor.
Taking inspiration from the bold and glamorous style of The Jazz Age,
all-over snakeskin and banana prints add a twist to leggings,
sweatshirts, and swimwear.

sensibility.”

Collection Features 20 Products Across All Categories And 33 Gift Sets For Everyone On This Year’s Shopping List
This
holiday, M·A·C Cosmetics plays with a classic symbol of the
celebratory season with its Starring You
Collection,
taking the twinkling star in all-new directions – on packaging, in
a glittering lineup of products and kits, and in dazzling new looks.
More than just the inspiration behind shimmering hues, the star is
YOU. A legendary lineup for eyes, lips and face encourages
everyone to create, make a name for themselves and claim center
stage.
LUCKY STARS LIP GLOSS KIT ($44 VALUE)
“Upon
working with the Starring You collection, the first word that came to
my mind was ‘opulent,’” said Fatima Thomas, M·A·C Senior
Artist. “The finishes are reflective, varying from moderate
frost to high-beam metallic, and apply smoothly. The colour palette
is sophisticated and urbane. After the predominantly fiery coppers
and rusts of SS19, it’s refreshing to create looks with rich plums,
pinots, irons and garnets laced with sparkle.“
KISS OF STARS LIPSTICK / STARRING YOU
In the new collection, stars are born this holiday season. All-new glitter-coated Kiss Of Stars Lipstick serves subtle glam or full-on glitz with creamy, eye-catching shimmer in six shades. Newly returned Spellbinder Shadow is another must-have, with magnetically charged ionized pigments that cling to eye lids. Four deep velvety shades provide intense, dimensional color payoff. For Pro-worthy application, Thomas suggests starting with a layer of Prep + Prime 24-Hour Extend Eye Base, then spritzing Prep + Prime Fix + onto a brush loaded with Spellbinder Shadow before patting onto lids.
The Luxury Handbag Authority Launches A Revolutionary Tool Designed To Instantly Reveal Your Handbag’s Current Resale Value
Rebag,
the destination for buying and selling luxury handbags, has launched
a revolutionary tool that instantly reveals the resale value of any
bag that you’re eyeing, or already have in your closet: Clair by
Rebag, the Comprehensive Luxury Appraisal Index for Resale.
ReBag logo
It’s
hard to imagine ever falling out of love, but the reality is, we’ve
all got unwanted baggage. Want to know the real value of your
handbag? Just ask Clair.
The
first of its kind, and five years in the making, Clair is a
powerful proprietary software which allows Rebag to generate a highly
accurate offer in an instant and empowers consumers to make the most
of every luxury handbag purchase. Clair determines the value of any
handbag across a list of more than 50 brands and 10,000 bags. It
offers consumers an exact and fully automated price that Rebag is
currently willing to pay to acquire that item.
“With
more and more consumers contemplating the resale value of their
luxury purchases, we’ve created a taxonomy that provides a more
transparent way for consumers to shop more wisely,” says
Charles Gorra, Founder and CEO of Rebag. “We’ve spent years
gathering data and analyzing the luxury handbag market. Clair is our
way of sharing that knowledge with the world – and it’s only the
beginning.”
In
an industry where pricing is notoriously shrouded in mystery, Clair
is an easy-to-use appraisal index as well as universal codes and
condition grades to serve as a common pricing reference for resellers
worldwide. This industry-wide framework lifts the opaque curtain
currently on the handbag resale market, allowing consumers to make
smart decisions on their purchases, know the value of their purchase
upfront and view handbags as a new investment category. Clair was
created for everyone, not just those who shop and sell at Rebag. The
tool reduces the time it takes to normally receive a price quote,
eliminating the friction and hesitation consumers often feel when it
comes to resale.
Clair
by Rebag makes it possible to instantly check the value of luxury
handbags in three easy steps: through the Rebag website or app,
navigate to the Clair portal to select the handbag’s brand, model,
style, and size, then tell Clair a bit more about the color and
condition, and it will instantly generate your handbag’s resale
value.
Receiving
an appraisal from Clair doesn’t lock consumers in to buy or sell
through Rebag; in fact, it only opens more possibilities. Once
customers have seen the future of their handbag, they can decide to
hold onto the investment for posterity, consign it, sell/trade it in
through Rebag or even buy more of them – the options are endless.
Clair
by Rebag wilas officially unveiled on October 24th and is
accessible for all consumers via the mobile app or website.

United Colors of Benetton launches U.S. Pop-Up in Los Angeles
This
October, United Colors of Benetton will open the doors to its
first United States Pop-Up shop in more than 4 years. Located
in the Santa Monica Place shopping center, the four-week
Pop-Up event will begin on October 25, 2019, and conclude on
November 24, 2019. The apparel will showcase the brand’s new
approach to streetwear-inspired design and a renewed commitment to
sustainable fashion under the artistic direction of Jean-Charles
de Castelbajac. The Pop-Up will offer exclusive lines from the
2019 Milan Fall Fashion show, which unveiled experimental
textiles and ecological materials inspired by the sea.

The
Pop-Up shop will be a physical monument to the brand’s colorful
energy and creative DNA. The shop is also a representation of its
broad e-commerce offerings. “With the exception of the
clothing on display, the Santa Monica Pop-Up will operate without any
inventory,” says Andrea Rossetto, United Colors of
Benetton’s U.S. Representative. “Customers will be able to
try on and interact with the clothing, but then all purchases will be
made through the in-store online portal and shipped directly to the
customers’ home.”
Benetton USA LA Pop-Up
This
practice will eliminate waste and allow for a seamless brand
experience. Executive Chairman Luciano Benetton has also
recently noted that, due to strong online sales in recent years, the
brand is considering re-opening stores on a more permanent basis in
the United States.
