From the silver screen to a fashion campaign. H&M has just shared their new menswear campaign, featuring none other than Pete Davidson. Staten Island-native Davidson, a notorious funny man on Saturday Night Live, is all about comfortability. “Collaborating on this campaign was a great experience. We had a lot of fun creating the photos and content. The clothes are comfortable and feel great to wear which is what I love about H&M,” Kim Kardashian’s other half says. The campaign shows the power of clothes to express who we are, no matter what the occasion. “Pete encapsulates everything H&M loves about the new menswear mood, with his self-confidence and play with personal style,” says Henrik Nordvall, global bbusiness unit director for menswear at H&M. “He is so relatable, inspiring guys around the world to create the moment with their look themselves.”

Everything we know about Margot Robbie’s Barbie

C’mon Margot, lets go party! As more and more details are being released about Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Barbie flick, we can’t help but bubbly over it all. The iconic doll will be played by the industry’s very own version, Margot Robbie, who leads a star-studded cast. Ryan Gosling, Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Hari Nef, and Will Ferrell are all also confirmed to appear in the reimagining of Barbie’s world. When asked about the daunting task of portraying such a legendary character, Aussie actress Robbie shared that it “comes with a lot of baggage … and a lot of nostalgic connections. But with that comes a lot of exciting ways to attack it.” Production of the film is currently underway in London and has a release date for July 2023. Turns out that life in plastic can be fantastic.

Details are out on this years Film Festival

Pack your bags, we’re going to Cannes! Details are out on this year’s Film Festival, and it seems like it’s going to be one for the books, as it’s celebrating its 75th birthday this year too, with French actor Vincent Lindon serving as the president of the jury. Lindon’s tenure as president of the jury is the first time in over a decade that a French actor heads the prestigious panel; he previously won best actor at the film festival for The Measure of a Man in 2015. The film festival will also share the calendar with the amfAR gala, which will be making its return home to the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. The Cinema Against Aids gala is usually one of the crown jewels of the festival, and this year there will be performances by Christina Aguilera, Charli XCX, and Ricky Martin. This year will also mark Carine Roitfeld’s 10th anniversary of curating the fashion show, with participating brands like Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Gucci, Chanel, Saint Laurent, Tom Ford, and Valentino, and even some newer names like Alled Martinez and Nensi Dojaka. The theme for this gala is “Let’s Get Married,” with designer Stephane Rolland creating a custom dress for the event. Nice day for a white wedding!

Victoria Beckham tells us skin is in, launching VB Body

Sleek, fitted, and ever so posh! Victoria Beckham is not one to shy away from clothes that hug your curves in all the right places, so launching VB Body—a new body-conscious line—seems like a no brainer for the designer. Inspired by the form fitting silhouettes she saw in Miami during lockdown, VB Body is all about the body-ody-ody. “People really celebrate their bodies,” she says of the city. “It’s definitely a ‘less is more’ approach to dressing, which is very different to what we know in London or New York or Paris. It’s not about burying ourselves under too many items of clothing.” And this isn’t new for Beckham, whose original RTW designs were notably form-fitting. “It really took me back to my roots [and] I don’t mean my Spice Girl roots—I mean when I first started to create ready-to-wear,” she told Vogue.com. “It was about creating dresses that were flattering. All of the garments really cinch you in at the waist, they hug your curves, and they really do celebrate a woman’s body.” In addition to mini dresses, bandeau tops, and one-shoulder midi dresses are split-hem leggings and skirt sets. The clothes start at $113 and go up to $617, with a size range of 0–14. The price point is lower than her flagship label and VB Body is offered in one larger size, adding inclusivity into the mix.

Oscar de la Renta launches Spring 2023 bridal collection

New ODLR bridal is here. For their Bridal Spring Summer 2023 collection, co-creative directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia found their inspiration from somewhere close to home: their Fall ready-to-wear collection. Furthermore, they looked to Florence, Italy and the city’s many marble-floored palazzi serving as the grounding source of creativity for both lines. Taffeta and silk-faille gowns in grand proportions are highlighted by dramatic billowy sleeves and over-the-top bows while delicate lace, floral appliqués, and ruffles are gently juxtaposed in both form-fitted and softly ethereal silhouettes. In other words: all the things we have come to love about the brand.
