Schiaparelli Spring 2023 Women's Collection Is Too Fabulous for Words

Schiaparelli Spring 2023 Women's Collection Is Too Fabulous for Words

Totally intrigued with fabulousness but also wondering just how Schiaparelli’s creative director Daniel Roseberry could keep the magic moving, there is deep appreciation this evening for the Schiaparelli Spring Summer 2023 ready-to-wear collection. It is drop-dead distinctive, arty sophistication fit for alluring, drama-loving, statement-making women with confidence, super smarts and backbone.

Did we say timeless without being boring? Surreally understated? A celebration of the human form?

“The past three years we’ve been building this reputation, this language through the couture and the red carpet,” the designer said about his time at Schiaparelli. “The next three will be about building the business side of it too.”

Daniel Lee Becomes Burberry Creative Director As Riccardo Tisci Departs

Daniel Lee Becomes Burberry Creative Director As Riccardo Tisci Departs

Riccardo Tisci’s departure from Burberry is not unexpected — and none of the rumblings questions around Tisci’s design talent of vision. The question involved much more the continuation of his edgy and goth aesthetic at Burberry — the look that brought him great notoriety and success at Givenchy.

Most creatives and fashion writers don’t engage themselves in a brand’s financial performance. Loving a collection is all that counts. Choosing words that should not be misconstrued by readers, Vogue’s Sarah Mower queried the strategic wisdom of Tisci’s border-free, non-nationalistic points of view.”

Victoria's Secret Shades Fall 2022 With Rich Hues in 'Body by Victoria' and 'Love Cloud'

Victoria's Secret Shades Fall 2022 With Rich Hues in 'Body by Victoria' and 'Love Cloud'

No Damage from Hulu or JAX, Says VS Pink CEO

VS Pink CEO Amy Hauk says that neither the Hulu three-episode docuseries ‘Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons’ nor the summer song by JAX that spent several weeks in the top 100 contributed to the plunge in second-quarter profits. The song was created as a statement about the need for body positivity in the world of Victoria’s Secret’s negative influence on young women’s bodies at the hands of an old man [men].

I refuse to believe that Hauk embraces the “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” adage. That was Epstein’s and Ed Razek’s mantra — and never mine.
