Serena Williams Walks In The Vogue World Runway Show

On Sunday in Paris, Serena Williams walked down the Vogue World runway held outside of the Place Vendôme. Her blue, white, and black mermaid-fit gown was designed by Off-White. It blended the art of sports and fashion seamlessly with the way the top half of the dress fit like a quarter zip track jacket with the Off-White logo motifs in the front to the black panels on the sides. The bottom half was like a couture cut with a sheer chiffon, flowing train. The details at the hands were also sporty with a finger hole on each hand. She added a thick silver watch, a few stacked rings, and diamond earrings to complete her look.

A$AP Rocky’s Paris Men’s Fashion Week Debut

Rapper A$AP Rocky’s AWGE made its Paris Fashion Week debut this weekend. The pieces in the collection reflected much of what Rocky would wear himself. The collection was entitled “American Sabotage” and included a total of 30 runway looks that the models donned. Looks from loose yet structured suits with ties that featured buttons to streetwear-inspired garb with vests over long sleeves that featured the wording “American Sabotage” on the front were included. Additionally, we saw a plethora of layering, patches, and simple silhouettes being upgraded with new cuts to add dimension to them. Classic flannel and denim were included, much like Rocky’s earlier fashion looks.

“America in itself has a lot of historical values…I’m putting light on my American story, my American horror story, my American story, my American sabotage,” Rocky told Hypebeast. “I pull inspirations from all of that…refugees, incarcerations, mass incarcerations. I’ve been subject to all those things. I’m very familiar with all those things and for me this is just me sharing my ghetto expression.”

LVMH’s latest acquisition is not as fashion-related as usual. The fashion conglomerate has bought the Parisien Bistrot L’ami Louis. It’s a small eatery, yet has brought masses to its humble space. The restaurant is about to celebrate a century in business. LVMH plans to keep the restaurant's quaint likability alive. L’ami Louis has served celebrities in its century of business from actors to former presidents. We’re excited to see how this acquisition expands the tiny but mighty Parisian restaurant.
