Kim Jones Fendi Couture Debut
Supermodel Kate Moss previews her friend Dior Men’s designer Kim Jones’ debut couture collection as artistic director for Fendi Womenswear. The name ‘Pioneering Women’ (definitely NOT American pioneer women), is inspired by the women of Britain’s Bloomsbury Group.
In these images by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, Kate showcases Jones’ first Fendi collection statement, styled by Edward Enninful at Charleston, the legendary artistic set’s Sussex home. Kate and Jones go way back to the ‘90s when Alexander McQueen introduced them.

/Beyonce Drops ICY PARK Winter Joy Collection from IVY PARK x adidas
Queen Bey releases her third collection in her IVY PARK x adidas collab, this time for the launch of her latest winter-ready capsule fittingly entitled “ICY PARK”. The Lemonade artist imagines a winter wonderland world led by global citizens like Hailey Bieber, Gucci Mane, Kaash Paige, Akesha Murray and more.
“On the apparel side, the two parties turn to playful monogram graphics and cozy materials such as faux shearling and performance towel terry to infuse into its pieces. Tight-to-the-body activewear, lifestyle tracksuits and accompanying accessories are available for both men and women, all of which lean on vibrant and seasonally-appropriate hues of pink, blue and a snowy white,” writes adidas about the collection dropping February 19.

Photographer Craig McDean captures Jolie and her six children at her historic Los Angeles estate tucked away in the historic Laughlin Park quiet corner of Los Feliz and formerly owned by Hollywood legend Cecil B. DeMille. The home is just five minutes away from the children’s father Brad Pitt.
Angelina Jolie on Mothering
Confirming that while she wanted to have a brood of kids, Jolie shares that she always saw herself as the Jane Goodall type, “travelling in the middle of the jungle somewhere.” She is not an inherently skilled mother — depending on one’s criteria, of course.
I feel like we’re such a team. It may sound clichéd, but you love and you try, and even if you burn the eggs, that doesn’t matter in the end. But also, you’ve met our kids. They’re pretty capable.
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.
