CR blog spoke to designer friends about mood and intention in 2018. Maria Grazia Chiuri weighed in: ""My motto for 2018 is that of American artist Marilyn Minter: Resist. Because we should defend our ideas, stand our ground, and never back down. We should always be brave. All of the work that we have done to be brave enough to face reality and try to change it, the campaigning for equality and for equal rights and responsibilities, too, are part of a long-term project. Now is the time to resist and try to build something new and extraordinary."
Watching for the first time Chiuri's Dior Couture Fall 2017 video, I sense the mood of the designer's forward women's march in a collection honoring Dior's cosmopolitan, globetrotting roots. Gone are the Roger Vivier spindly heels, replaced by men's brogues and manly ankle boots.
'The Crown's' mood is everywhere in the Dior couture show: the sobriety, modest femininity and pared-down opulence.
Yet, there is a distinctly feminist, #RESIST current running through this Dior couture collection. Will it declare itself again in Chiuri's fall 2018 ready-to-wear show? I hope so. After all, the female actors like Meryl Streep, Jessica Chastain and Emma Jones are promising to wear black dresses to the Golden Globes Awards next Sunday night to protest gender inequality and sexual harassment. The women have also said that they will not answer frivolous, Red Carpet fashion questions like "who are you wearing?" Like Chiuri's countless marching women, they will speak on topics related to the act of RESISTing.

Hollywood Launches Time's Up With Powerhouse Message To Working Class Women
Driven by disgust, disenchantment and disbelief that sexual harassment and gender inequality run rampant in America, 300 prominent and not-so-well-known Hollywood women have launched a sprawling initiative to fight the Hollywood power structure and blue-collar workplaces nationwide.
Born with a name that resonates deeply with women fighting this gender inequality battle for 60 years in the case of women like Jane Fonda, Time's Up has 1) a legal defense fund, backed now by $13 million in donations earmarked to help less privileged women protect themselves from sexual misconduct and threats of job loss among janitors, nurses and workers at farms, factories, restaurants and hotels. Articles like the New York Times' How Tough Is It to Change a Culture of Harassment? Ask Women at Ford astonished many professional women in and out of Hollywood.

Jennifer Lawrence Covers The Hollywood Reporter, Lensed By Miller Mobley With Oprah On The Interview
Actor Jennifer Lawrence covers the December 2017 issue of The Hollywood Reporter, lensed by Miller Mobley.
In an earlier interview, Lawrence revealed that the negative reviews for 'mother!' created enormous strain on her relationship with the film's director, Darren Aronofsky.
“Normally, I promote a movie, ask people to go see it, and then it’s just out of your hands,” Lawrence, 27, told Adam Sandler for Variety's 'Actors on Actors' series. “I normally just kind of let it go. Dating the director was different. We’d be on the [press] tour together, I’d come back to the hotel, and the last thing I want to talk about or think about is a movie.”
“He comes back from the tour, and that’s all he wants to talk about and I get it,” she continued. “It’s his baby. He wrote it. He conceived it. He directed it. I was doing double duty trying to be a supportive partner, while also being like, ‘Can I please, for the love of God, not think about mother! for one second?’”
