Marc Jacobs Cancels Bullying, Tommy Hilfiger’s Summer Crew, Plus! Who’s W Magazine’s Latest Superstar Covergirl?

Marc Jacobs condemns harassment over fur controversy

Marc Jacobs has no time for cruelty—both towards animals and his own brand. The designer took to Instagram to call out an unnamed organization (likely PETA), which has been “endangering the well-being of innocent individuals and communities” over previously using upcycled fur in a 2022 brand collaboration. In his post, Jacobs emphasized the importance of free speech, as well as disappointment at the organization’s harassment towards his employees and needing to re-state his position on being fur-free—which he permanently stated in 2018.

“This organization has made it clear that they will not stop their violence toward MARC JACOBS unless they get the statement they want,” Jacobs said. “While I don’t condone the behavior of this organization, I will always do what I can to protect, honor and respect the lives and well-being of the people I work with. This is my statement: MARC JACOBS does not work in, use or sell fur, nor will we in the future.”

In new photos by Terrence Connors in Charleston, South Carolina, Hilfiger ambassadors and actors Madelyn Cline, Noah Beck, Michael Rainey Jr., and Madison Bailey lounge at a beach, boardwalk, and backyard barbecue in the spirit of warmer days ahead.

Miley Cyrus shines for W magazine’s Pop Issue

She’s just being Miley! Miley Cyrus took center stage for W magazine’s new Pop Issue, photographed by Alasdair McLellan. In the accompanying editorial, Cyrus is styled by editor-in-chief Sara Moonves in an array of outfits accented by sparkling embellishments and muted colors from Gucci, Chanel, Saint Laurent, The Row, Dior, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, and Dolce & Gabbana. The singer’s cover story by Alex Hawgood is also wide-ranging, delving into her relationship to her fans, first Grammy Awards win, working out in heels, and collaborating with Beyoncé.

“One of the things that we text about is our relationships with our mothers,” Cyrus said on Beyoncé. “Like her mom, Ms. Tina, my mom is also an M.T.: Mama Tish. A lot of people call her Mom, in the way that Ms. Tina is almost not just a mother to Beyoncé, but to Beyoncé’s fans as well. Both of us grew up, in our own way, with moms who were everything. My mom was my makeup, hair, seamstress, styling, tour manager—like, the actual manager. The word ‘mother’ is the most all-encompassing word. The mother can be RuPaul; the mother can be Beyoncé. Our fans call us ‘mother.’”

Donatella Versace receives fashion honors from Italy

Over the weekend, Donatella Versace was awarded with Italy’s top cultural honor. The famed fashion designer was named a Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, followed by a meeting with Italian president Sergio Mattarella, according to Vogue.
