Writing for WSJ Magazine, Elisa Lipsky-Karasa swears that COVID-19 has not meant the end of high-octane fashion. All reports on the high-end luxury market are that she’s correct. In fact, the rich have become disproportionately richer during the pandemic, but I’m not seeing very much of a “let them eat cake” attitude going on out there.

In a nod to Stella McCartney’s fantastic pre-fall collection, let’s hope that women of means are at least thinking about sustainability before rapturing on the latest pair of 4” heels. My observations suggest that there’s very solid movement in the direction of fashion awareness on the sustainability front.

Jennifer Lopez Owns Allure Magazine's Drop-Dead 30th Anniversary Covers

American talent and style icon Jennifer Lopez makes a spellbinding, modern glamazon impression on the cover of Allure Magazine’s 30th anniversary March issue. Lopez owns the cover, sporting a new pixie cut by long-time hairstylist Chris Appleton. who describes J.Lo’s shearing as a “90s-inspired wet look crop”.

Only a truly fierce lioness with an overabundance of self-confidence and a lifetime of self-discipline could pull off this visual coup approaching age 52.

I’m not impartial about the photoshoot, because I know photographer Daniella Midenge and — trust me — these spectacular images are the result of Daniella “understanding” Lopez. There’s some serious cosmic energy exchange going on between the two women, and the result is an Allure Jennifer Lopez beauty bonanza.

LVMH Buys 50% of Jay-Z's Champagne Brand As Bernard Arnault Nods To Black Culture's Financial Influence

Jay-Z appears to be having the last laugh in the Champagne wars, selling a 50 percent stake in Armand de Brignac to LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton. Jay-Z’s Ace of Spades joins the luxury brand’s other prestige labels including Dom Pérignon, Moët & Chandon, Ruinart, Krug and Veuve Clicquot. Both parties must agree to major decisions for the company.

Most important, the partnership cements the luxury company’s ties with the entertainment industry and also to the growing embrace of the Black Lives Matter movement by progressives of every ethnic background and skin color. AOC has long lived in this atmosphere, but something very major is happening around us.

This last statement is AOC’s opinion and not that of the business media. To us, Bernard Arnault’s instinctual insights about the increasing dominance and overall influence of Black culture are obvious — and impressive.

Just last week Arnaud indirectly took a significant financial position in Savage X Fenty via L Catterton. This decision came as Rihanna and LVMH agreed to put the Fenty designer label on hold for the time-being.
