/
Gigi Hadid is the latest talent to team up with Los Angeles-based swimwear brand Frankies Bikinis. The collab is extra special because in real life Hadid is a childhood friend of Frankies Bikinis founder and creative director Francesca Aiello.
Another childhood friend Alana O’Herlihy, shot the campaign for the 98-piece collection, which will land online at Frankiesbikinis.com on May 11, followed by a second drop on June 2. Francesca Aiello recently sold a minority stake of Frankies Bikinis to Victoria’s Secret & Co. for $18 million. She will continue to lead Frankies Bikinis, with its first New York pop-up in NYC’s SoHo neighborhood coming soon. Kudos to O’Herlihy who launched Frankies Bikis when she was still in high school.

The development of an artisanal approach is different from what is being labeled ‘ethical’ by websites like Good On You.
Leather is a perfect example. Hermès will never be called ethical because they are using leather. Even though they agree to the highest possible worker standards and environment-friendly policies in tanning and how the animals are treated, it’s leather.
Note, though, that even Stella McCartney can’t get a top rating on Good on You, which suggests a bleak future if even she can’t cut it with the uber-progressives. Stella does get a ‘good’ — or a B on a 5-point scale. Note Stella McCartney’s rating is 2018.

/
Emmanuel Macron has retained the French presidency, beating back right-wing, Russian president Vladimir Putin-supported candidate Marine Le Pen with an estimated 58.2% of the vote to her 41.8%, based on 8pm Sunday evening estimates.
For all of his problems, Macron is the first French leader in 20 years to win re-election — since 2002. In that faceoff then-president Jacques Chirac won against Le Pen’s rabidly anti-immigrant father, Jean-Marie Le Pen.

For L’Oréal, the fragrance licensee for Ralph Lauren, the launch of the genderless fragrance Polo Earth represents a “new way of working,” according to Alex Choueiri, global brand president of Ralph Lauren Fragrances.
Sustainability For Real
“It’s the first product where we pushed sustainability, and as much as we could, we focused on every element of the mix to make it as sustainable as possible,” Choueiri said. ““The fragrance industry has this habit of putting a lot of glass to make a product look luxurious and beautiful, but if we’re really serious about wanting to minimize the environmental impact, it should be as light as possible without breaking. The heat to create a bottle has a carbon footprint, and you want to minimize that.”
