Cover: Angelina Jolie -- how divorce changed her

Page 1: Jill Biden's sweet gift -- the First Lady sends proof that Michelle Obama's White House legacy is still growing strong by sending Michelle a basket of fresh veggies from the White House Kitchen Garden

Page 2: Contents, John Travolta recreated his memorable Born to Hand Jive dance with daughter Ella for a Super Bowl ad

Page 4: Hayden Panettiere's fresh start -- taking her own hard-won advice Hayden finds renewal after a difficult year

Page 5: She's the poster girl for sun-kissed good looks but five years ago Jennifer Aniston swore off catching rays and gave herself a tanning intervention citing worries about UV damage -- maybe it's time for another invention because Jennifer has become addicted to spray tans -- she likes it when she's a dark golden all over but the trouble is she's doing it so much that she's turning orange like an Oompa Loompa -- it's all part of Jennifer's quest to protect her youthful looks and she's very aware of what aging can do to a career in Hollywood and she's desperate to make 52 the new 30 and she's convinced the bronzing rituals make her look decades longer

* Two Southern Charm cast members have pointed the finger at Madison LeCroy alleging that she had a fling with Alex Rodriguez -- Madison fessed up that the two had talked randomly on the phone but vowed they've never been physical -- a fuming Jennifer Lopez has been grilling A-Rod about the call but he swears he's innocent

* Lusty fans have been loving the heaving bodices and shirtless hotties on the hit Bridgerton and Mila Kunis is no exception -- the busy mom is so hooked on the Regency-era drama that she's been sneaking in episodes during late-night binges in bed while her husband Ashton Kutcher is snoozing beside her which led to an awkward marital moment -- describing how she was deep into a sex scene in episode five Mila revealed that Ashton suddenly woke up during a peak instant and asked her if she was watching a porno

Page 6: Four months after giving birth Gigi Hadid is ready for her close-up -- her trainer Rob Piela says she really couldn't be happier and she loves being a mom -- how she gets into shape: she isn't big into cardio so she gets sweaty with boxing and she's competitive in a sporty way so she likes upbeat workouts and she's a big fan of ballet squats plus core exercises like sit-ups and planks and crunches and bicycle kicks and for now she works out twice a week

* The fallout continues for disgraced rocker Marilyn Manson -- days after a string of women led by Evan Rachel Wood came forward to accuse Marilyn (real name Brian Warner) of horrific abuse, his old friend Trent Reznor spoke out against him -- Manson's exes Dita Von Teese and Rose McGowan also added their voices to the outcry -- meanwhile Manson who called the allegations horrible distortions of reality holed up in his L.A. home where cops were called to check on his welfare

* Star Spots the Stars -- Olivia Wilde, Katie Holmes and Emilio Vitolo Jr., Julianne Hough, Jenna Dewan, Kaia Gerber, Ashanti

Page 8: Star Shots -- Gavin Rossdale stayed warm in a sweater during a day at the park with his new puppy in L.A., Eva Longoria and her son Santiago paired sweats with sneakers from pal Victoria Beckham's collaboration with Reebok, a fanny pack-wearing Gina Rodriguez bundled up to grab some grub to go in L.A.

Page 10: Rebel Wilson posted a shot from her first day of shooting her dog-grooming competition Pooch Perfect, controversial Real Housewife Kelly Dodd out in Newport Beach, with the Sundance Film Festival gone virtual Dermot Mulroney phoned in an appearance to stump for his thriller The Blazing World

Herve Leger founder Herve L. Leroux has died. One can’t think of 90s fashion without conjuring an image of a super model pummeling the catwalk in one of his corset tight bandage dresses. His famous style of dress will surely go down in history as a testament to the 1990s. “I’d say he was the only dressmaker that could accomplish a truly modern Madame Grès goddess gown,” she wrote. “I loved him for his wit, his candor, his sublime elegance and of course, his talent, which came from authentic obsession, with no care for the commerciality of fashion.” - Dita Von Teese #herveleger #vintagefashion #hervelleroux #90sfashion #defunctfashion #fashion #bandagedress #fashionhistory #fashiondesign #cindycrawford #naomicampbell #ambervalletta #christyturlington #lindaevangelista #karenmulder #evaherzigova

Lit cigarettes, Boy George: Stars flaunt Jean Paul Gaultier creations for designer’s ‘funeral’ finale in Paris - fashion and trends

Jean Paul Gaultier bade farewell to the catwalk on Wednesday in typically riotous style, as models performed jigs at his show, an actress sauntered down the runway smoking a cigarette and singer Boy George took part in a mock funeral sequence. The affable French designer, who has long cultivated an image as the ‘enfant terrible’ of the fashion world, announced last week the runway display would be his last after 50 years in the business. The 67-year-old designer brought a large dose of his irreverent humour to the show, as well as outlandish creations, from a futuristic bridal dress worn by model Karlie Kloss to a poppy-clad headdress sported by Spanish actress Rossy de Palma. Dozens of male and female models - including burlesque star Dita Von Teese and drag queen Violet Chachki - took part in the extravaganza at the Châtelet theatre in Paris. Many showcased famous Gaultier looks, from bustiers echoing one designed for singer Madonna’s 1990 stage shows, to trompe l’oeil shirt dresses and Breton striped sailor patterns. Gaultier has yet to detail his plans. On Wednesday he said only that he would keep working in some way within the fashion world, but no longer with the same restrictions, such as putting on regular catwalk shows, and with a focus on fun projects.‘ONLY ONE GAULTIER’“I’m too old to revolutionise the system,” Gaultier told reporters, adding that the industry was now home to almost too many labels. His namesake brand, part of family-owned Spanish fashion and fragrance group Puig, would carry on with a new concept, Gaultier said, without elaborating.Gaultier’s one-time design mentor Pierre Cardin, 97, was among the guests at the venue, where the theatre’s stage was transformed into a runway, while peers such as Louis Vuitton womenswear designer Nicolas Ghesquiere also looked on.“There’s only one Jean Paul Gaultier,” said model Laetitia Casta ahead of the show. Casta, clad in a vintage Gaultier blue denim outfit, was discovered at 15 by the designer at a casting call where she said she mingled with punks. “He was one of the first to go out into the street to find people,” she said.The show kicked off with a funereal scene and dancing pallbearers, with Boy George singing “Back to Black”, the song made famous by late singer Amy Winehouse. Other highlights included model Coco Rocha leaping around the stage to hip-hop-infused Irish music.‘DON’T BURN, UPCYCLE’Gaultier made his mark as one of the brightest young talents in French fashion during the early 1980s, shaking up the establishment with wild designs drawn from street culture, punk and the gay club scene. After starting out at 18 an apprentice of Cardin, he later worked as a designer for Hermes. He presented his first individual collection in 1976. In recent years he dropped ready-to-wear clothing, focusing on twice-yearly haute couture collections - exclusive, handmade outfits each usually sold to one wealthy client.Puig has yet to report earnings for 2019 and does not break down its brands’ performance. In 2018, its revenues rose 5% at constant exchange rates to 1.9 billion euros ($2.11 billion). Gaultier, who presented men’s skirts made of strung-together ties on Wednesday, said his fun-filled swansong had a more serious message too, at a time when many in the fashion industry are looking to prove their environmental credentials.“Don’t burn clothes, upcycle,” he said.(This story has been published from a wire agency feed without modifications to the text.

Barcelona, 30 April 2020 – The Mango Home Sessions concert series continues its programming with the participation of the international musicians DJ Andrew Armstrong (Monarchy), Sophie Auster and Basia Bulat.

A month ago, Mango created this intimate format in which new and established talents were commissioned by the brand’s main social networking site to express the musical creativity that characterizes them. Since its launch, the brand has broadcast various musical events, featuring artists such as Marta Knight, Carla and Yawners and sessions by DJ Pascal Moscheny.

DJ Andrew Armstrong is the next artist to sign up to this cultural offering, on Saturday 2 May. The member of the London techno-pop duo Monarchy is famous for his compositions and collaborations with artists such as Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue, Jamiroquai and Dita Von Teese, among others. He is a regular at international festivals such as Coachella and on catwalks.

The magical voice of the Canadian singer-songwriter Basia Bulat has received praise from the folk scene since she launched her career in 2005. Her contemporary sound has resulted in her being nominated on several occasions for the Polaris Music Prize as Best Artist of the Year and signing to the highly-regarded Rough Trade Records. Her work has been produced by members of top bands such as My Morning Jacket and Arcade Fire and she has shared the stage with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The National and Sufjan Stevens. She will appear on the Home Sessions on 9 May.

The creativity and talent of the artist Sophie Auster will also be present in this series of musical events on 16 May. The New Yorker, who has previously collaborated with Mango, recorded her first record at the age of 16 and since then she has continued to travel round the globe, appearing in numerous fashion publications and on the front cover of magazines such as Rolling Stone.

The work and style of Sophie Auster is somewhere within the genres of folk and blues and critics have described her voice as implacable and sensual. She is currently working on a new album and throughout the COVID-19 crisis, she has participated in social events for groups such as “Musicians On Call”.

Once again, Mango is protecting the brand’s cultural connection with its community through an initiative like Home Sessions. Its connection with art, music and other artistic disciplines has existed since it was founded, through projects such as the sponsoring of the Primavera Sound music festival, or its presence at the 2019 Met Gala, alongside its ambassador Sofía Sánchez de Betak, in support of the New York Metropolitan Museum.

In January of this year, Mango exhibited its private art collection to the general public as part of ARCO, Madrid’s contemporary art fair. Its most recent projects include The Mango List, a selection of proposals that support culture and style, which can be accessed via the brand’s official Instagram page.

Gaultier’s Great Goodbye – The New York Times

PARIS — Jean Paul Gaultier, the French designer who put Madonna in a bullet-bra and men in skirts, scandalized the couture establishment by hosting the TV show “Eurotrash” and never forgot his sense of humor, yet could cut a tuxedo with such panache he was regarded as an heir to Yves Saint Laurent, said goodbye to the runway after 50 years on Wednesday night .

He did it in the gilded 19th-century Théâtre du Châtelet, where the Ballets Russes once danced, in front of a packed 2,500-seat audience that included the former supermodel and the former French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, and the designers Nicolas Ghesquière (who began his career as a junior assistant to Mr. Gaultier), Christian Lacroix and Dries Van Noten, who had made the trip in from Antwerp, Belgium, just for the evening.

And he did it with a greatest hits spectacular starring friends and family, from the actors Béatrice Dalle and Rossy De Palma to the models Yasmin Le Bon and Paris Jackson, plus the burlesque star Dita Von Teese. Plus Boy George, who opened the whole thing with his own version of Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black,” and closed it with “Church of the Poison Mind.”

Mr. Gaultier, 67, stepped back from the ready-to-wear runway in 2014, but this was his final farewell — at least to shows. It seems he will continue to have some role in his company, which is owned by the Spanish group Puig, and he’s already dabbling in a sideline as a cabaret director. He announced his departure from the catwalk only five days ago, via Instagram.

How do you sum up a career for such a crew? Especially one that broke so many boundaries and pushed so many buttons?

It’s been a while since Mr. Gaultier was considered the enfant terrible of fashion, courting controversy by finding inspiration in the clothing of the Orthodox Jewish community, pulling down the velvet rope of inaccessibility with one of the very first contemporary lines, challenging gender stereotypes, putting models of all sizes and ages on the catwalk. A while too, since he balanced all that rebellion with cutting skills — learned in the ateliers of Pierre Cardin and Jean Patou — so perfectly judged they made a neophyte to fashion sit up in sudden understanding: Oh, that’s why this costs so much, and is worth it. It just looks so ineffably better than anything else.

(I was that newcomer, it was 15 or so years ago, and I’ve never forgotten that moment.)

To a certain extent, simply surviving a half century is an achievement in a fashion world where these days designers seem to come and go almost annually. Mr. Gaultier navigated the move from family-run artisanal houses to global brands dominated by mega groups, and did his time as creative director of a big house, taking the reins at Hermès from 2003 to 2010. If he has been, latterly, more of a prankster than anything else, wallowing in his own thematic puns — 1980s pop stars! Nanook of the North! — sometimes to the detriment of the clothes themselves, he also helped the shape the industry as we know it.

His final collection was no different; balanced on the knife edge between showgirl and chic, listing toward the former. Mr. Gaultier overindulged himself with more than 200 looks, not just reminders of favorites past (corsetry and underwear-as-outerwear; denim sliced and embroidered and elevated; tuxedo trousers turned into hot pants in front, the legs streaming out like a train behind; the blue-and-white-striped marinière; a body suit with the naked body embroidered on top) but examples of his artistry; his ability to make you look — and then think again.

He didn’t just recycle his themes, he upcycled his fabrics, melding silk ties into striped skirts, leather bombers into a bubble mini, and false-fronting jackets onto the top of corsets.

Camouflage coats billowed like clouds; columns of crochet encrusted in elaborate embroidered runes; basket-woven leathers; a breast plate made from mother-of-pearl shells atop a skirt made of real sponges.

“I have opened all my drawers, taken back all my old collections,” he wrote in his farewell note. “I have used my archives as material. Goodbye, the brand-new; hello, the brand old. What I did at the beginning with no resources, I do today with my inheritance to give life to new creations.”

Overlying it all was such a reservoir of well-earned good will, it cast the entire collection in a rosy glow.

And it was a potent reminder, as the designer was carried off on the arms of his cast, dancing and hugging his way into his future, that fashion ought to be both challenging and fun, and is best accessorized with laughter.

Jean Paul Gaultier - Madonna Cone Bra

In 1990 Gaultier designed Madonna’s iconic conical bra for her Blond Ambition Tour. In April 2014 this garment was brought back into the spotlight in a special exhibition at the Barbican: ‘The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From The Sidewalk To The Catwalk’. 

The exhibition featured celebrity costumes with pieces worn by Kylie Minogue, Madonna and Dita von Teese. It also displayed clips from the designer’s former role presenting Eurotrash, clips from catwalk shows, music videos and films. He also included items from his personal collection including his stuffed teddy ‘Nana’ with the custom made cone bra, as well as couture pieces.

REFLECTION:

This iconic piece designed for Madonna is a predominant catalyst that stands out in Gaultier’s career; perhaps I could focus on the shape of the cone and draw from the corsets within his collections over the years as a theme for an exhibition. Or maybe the shapes that stand out in his designs as a collective?

New Post has been published on Vintage Designer Handbags Online | Vintage Preowned Chanel Luxury Designer Brands Bags & Accessories

Victoria Beckham pairs ice-cream colours with understated elegance | Fashion

The most surprising thing about spending a morning in the presence of the fashion arm of Beckham Enterprises – or, to be specific, sitting opposite David and Brooklyn while they watch Victoria’s spring/summer 2018 catwalk show – is how much more relaxed the experience feels than much of the rest of New York fashion week.

Consider that Saturday night was dominated by two style spectaculars: the Alexander Wang show, in which models performed “guerilla” catwalk shows across New York, while flanked by portable speaker systems, lighting rigs and a cavalcade of Harley Davidsons; and the Philipp Plein “Good Gone Bad” event, where models vied for attention with booming music and Dita von Teese doing a burlesque routine in a giant Martini glass.

The Victoria Beckham show, on the other hand, was simple. Though David and Brooklyn provided a bit of star power (and sat between the new guard at British Vogue, editor Edward Enninful, on one side and fashion director Venetia Scott on the other), in the main part the spotlight was firmly on the clothes. And it was a very strong collection, too, comprising of loose linen suiting, blazers layered one on top of the other, and fluid evening dresses with ruffles. Though the individual pieces were fairly accessible, wearable and familiar – elevated versions of great dresses, trousers and tailoring, rather than weird, avant garde pieces – imaginative styling and slightly odd colour combinations, such as moss-green with pistachio and red with lilac, helped to ensure that the overall impression was fresh and unexpected.

There were sparkly accessories – a glitter-covered clutch bag peeking out of a shirt pocket, sparkly moss-green high heeled shoes and silver and red flat sparkly mules. These were incredibly pretty (Beckham later said that her little daughter Harper, a fan of Disney’s film Frozen, had loved them when she had seen them on Facetime) but were presented with simple and sometimes androgynous looks so the effect was grown-up and never princessy.

Backstage, Beckham spoke in a considered, heartfelt way about the technical details and techniques employed; the “little tiny check” on one outfit “that reminds me of maths exams at school” and the “moire fabric” whose marble-like, wavy lines became a printed pattern; the ruffles on dresses which were “flattened and killed and manipulated to make them really graphic”.

“Delicacy can mean strength,” she added. “This collection is about the many powers of femininity. These are play-doh colours; ice-cream colours,” she added. “Fresh and summery but not too sweet. There is something strange about them, together, that feels really fresh and cool and interesting.”

Beckham has now been a fashion designer for nine years – two years longer than she was a Spice Girl – and in the fashion industry her transformation from arriviste to insider is long complete, as was evidenced by the backstage scene, where Brooklyn posed for selfies with models and David chatted with illustrious fashion critic Suzy Menkes.

There isn’t anything here that you can’t wear straight from the catwalk

It’s no surprise that the industry likes her approach, given that she is so respectful of its conventions. Her catwalk shows do not seem to be designed to win brand-building Instagram “likes” but to sell clothes that should be worn. “This was not about creating show pieces that are not wearable,” she said. “That’s not how I want to dress, that’s not how I believe women want to dress. There isn’t anything here that you can’t wear straight from the catwalk.” That makes this, she says “a very honest collection”.

The evolution of Beckham’s own look is a key part of her fashion designer narrative. Her PVC jumpsuits and crumb-catcher corsets feel a world away, now. As the tabloids who follow her every move have recently noticed, she has spent the past four days wearing a simple white t-shirt and trouser or jeans, which she wears again today, joining the ranks of editors and designers who opt out of trying every trend and wear similar outfits all the time.

“I haven’t really had the time to think about what I’ve been wearing,” she said. “My wardrobe is full of white T-shirts, and it’s one less thing to think about such a busy week.” Though in Beckham’s case you imagine she will be using her own best billboard – herself – and wearing her spring/summer 2018 ice-cream colours before very long.
