Bouchra Jarrar Takes Helm of Lanvin As Artistic Director Of Women's Collections
/
Lanvin, the oldest couture house to continually exist in Paris, confirmed Bouchra Jarrar as its new artistic director, following the October 2016 departure of Alber Elbaz. Jarrar has worked at Jean Paul Gaultier, been studio director for Nicolas Ghesquiere at Balenciaga and served as head of couture at Christian Lacroix, along with launching her own house in 2010. Jarrar will start on Monday. The designer is known for putting "quality and technical finesse ahead of razzmatazz", along with her love of minimal, streamlined sportswear.
"Her timeless style is in keeping with the style and values of our company," Lanvin chief executive officer Michèle Huiban said in a statement today. "Her talent, her high standards and her mastery of cuts and fabrics will bring a breath of freshness and modernity into the house, while respecting its soul as the oldest Paris couture house, a symbol of French elegance."
According to Ms. Huiban, who spoke to the New York Times from Paris: “Bouchra seemed a natural for our house, founded by a woman. I felt an immediate and very true connection when we met.”
In a phone call, Ms. Jarrar said, “I am honored to be part of the extraordinary history of the house, and all the great creators who came before me.” Jarrar will close her own brand to "devote herself to Lanvin." In an internal memo seen by the New York Times, the new head of Lanvin said: “My wish is to bring to Lanvin harmony and coherence of a world for women, a world of our time. I rejoice in being part of this beautiful chapter in the life of the house with all its teams.”
'Neerja' Actor Sonam Kapoor Talks Feminism With BuzzFeed India

I know from my own experiences on Twitter that when you so much as mention women’s rights and empowerment, hordes of strangers come out of the woodwork to invalidate you with slews of irrelevant questions built upon such false notions: If you’re so feminist, why are you wearing lipstick? If you’re so feminist, why do you wax your legs? If you’re so feminist, why do you like pink? Why do you like men? Why do you wear heels? Why do you watch rom-coms? Why do you bake? Why do you give blowjobs? Why do you read Vogue?
And, unlike Parineeti Chopra, I don’t even have 6 and a half million followers.
They’re all asking: If you’re so feminist, how come you’re doing all that girly shit, bro?
If you’re so feminist, how come you’re not matching my expectations of what feminism looks like?
It's easy to focus on the challenges ahead for Indian women. It was one of those stories that was destined for this blog post tonight. It gives me great please to share such an empowering woman and new movie playing in the US, because that bad news will keep for another day. ~ Anne

An emerging wild card in the 2016 election is 1) how many angry white men committed to Bernie Sanders will switch to Donald Trump if Hillary Clinton is the candidate; and 2) how many Republican (in particular) women will vote for Hillary if Donald Trump is the Republican candidate.
AmericanWomen.org queried 800 registered voters that included an oversample of 200 women ages 18 to 35, resulting in a total of 321 interviews among unmarried women and 296 interviews among millennial women.
