Klossy is getting back in the judge’s chair for Project Runway. Though this time in a less permanent role.

Ben Sherman honors brand’s heritage with Spring 2021 campaign
British menswear brand Ben Sherman is revamping its signature shirting with an ode to the brand’s 1970’s TV commercials.

Fifty years later, the similarly titled Spring 2021 campaign showcases Ben Sherman’s consistency for designing a variety of modern, functional clothing. The new ads spotlight button downs in preppy, floral, and gingham prints, as well as a range of staple tonal colors—all perfect for fresh spring and summer outfits.

Singer Billie Eilish is known internationally for her trend-based and—dare we say it?—defiant style, courtesy of stylist Samantha Burkhart. As such, British website Jewellery Box has released its official 2021 ranking of fashion’s most influential stars—and Eilish tops the list, surpassing the likes of Kim Kardashian-West, Kylie Jenner, and Blake Lively.
