Banana Republic Checks Into The White Lotus For A Vacation-Ready Collaboration

Banana Republic is teaming up with HBO’s The White Lotus on a chic new fashion collab! Inspired by the spirit of travel and the drama show’s third season, set in Thailand, the brand has launched a limited-edition line of men’s and women’s pieces. The collection includes a range of camp-collar shirts, shorts, trousers, and lightweight dresses, plus bucket hats and headbands, all boosted by embroidery and botanical and geometric prints in hues of yellow, red, purple, turquoise, and navy blue. Fittingly, the brand cast new White Lotus star Patrick Schwarzenegger alongside Shanina Shaik for the campaign, embracing dressing for a breezy tropical oasis. We’re already grabbing our passports!

BOSS Will Present The New Art Basel Awards

Chic label BOSS is expanding outside of fashion with its latest project: the Art Basel Awards. Stemming from a shared commitment to creativity, the brand will be presenting the inaugural event in June, which honors artists—and their supporters—that are innovating the arts and culture scene. The Awards themselves span 9 categories, including emerging, established, and iconic artists, curators, museums and institutions, patrons, allies, cross-disciplinary creators, and mediaand storytellers. During the event, 36 individuals and organizations will be rewarded with medals by an international expert jury overseen by Vincenzo de Bellis, Art Basel’s director of fairs and exhibition platforms. Afterwards, the 36 medalists will award 12 gold medals to recipients that are tailored to each individual. Each artist who receives one of these gold medals will be given a range of awards based on their category, including an exhibition stage (Emerging category), an Art Basel project commission (Established category), and a mentoring partnership (Iconic category). However, there’s more to come: the initial 36 medalists will be announced in May and celebrated with a June reception at Art Basel’s Swiss exhibition, with the following 12 gold medal winners honored at Art Basel Miami Beach in December.

Priya Shukla Leaves Vera Wang

This just in: Priya Shukla has left Vera Wang! The longtime senior vice president of global communications shared her exit from the brand on LinkedIn, just shy of her 20-year mark after beginning as Wang’s executive assistant in 2006. Shukla’s departure also follows close colleague Keith Lissner‘s exit from Wang—which he commemorated with a “Freedom”-themed party on social media—after he served as executive vice president of design since 2011. Both Shukla and Lissner’s exits come shortly after Wang’s brand was acquired by WHP Global in December, initially announced in Vogue Business.
