Paris Jackson and Millie Bobby Brown are Calvin Klein's newest family
Calvin Klein has released its new spring/summer ’18 campaign starring Paris Jackson, Millie Bobbie Brown and Lulu Tenney, the fifth in the brand's My Family series.
Deemed part of the Calvin Klein family, the three young millennials photographed by Willy Vanderperre dressed in both Calvin Klein Jeans and Calvin Klein Underwear are stars in their own right and have been chosen to feature in the advertisement based on their connections with the brand.
Jackson, Bobby Brown and Tenney recently starred in The xx’s I Dare You music video, a collaboration between Calvin Klein and filmmaker Alasdair McLellan, while Bobby Brown has featured in a previous campaign and Tenney has walked for and appeared in other Calvin Klein campaigns.
Stars of the four previous Our Family shoots include Solange Knowles and a selection of artists she handpicked to feature alongside, the A$AP mob, sibling duo Kaia and Presley Gerber and the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
As for who will feature in the next family-based campaign? Your guess is as good as ours.

Dame Zandra Rhodes

Dame Zandra Rhodes’ garments are more than fashion. They’re works of art.
With a shock of hot pink hair and a radiant smile, Dame Zandra Rhodes exudes a youthful energy at the age of 78.
That liveliness permeates her clothing designs, which are featured in an exhibition at CAM Raleigh, “Textile, Print and Form: A Lifetime of Magical Experimentation,” on display through June 10. Rhodes will be at CAM for First Friday on March 2.
CAM exhibitions director Eric Gaard says Rhodes was a natural choice for the gallery’s fashion exhibition series.
“She’s always approached her work as an artist and not a fashion designer,” he says. “Her thinking transcends fashion. Her approach to process is really critical – she’s still sketching every single day. She approaches all of her work as an artist would.”

Australian label Kitx to show at Buckingham Palace

Australian label Kitx to show at Buckingham Palace
A once in a lifetime opportunity presented by the Commonwealth Fashion Exchange for artisans in British Commonwealth nations.
On February 19, sustainable fashion will get a stage most designers could only dream of: Buckingham Palace. Livia Firth, the founder and creative director of Eco-Age, has launched a new initiative called the Commonwealth Fashion Exchange, which partners designers with artisans in British Commonwealth nations to create pieces that are environmentally conscious and highlight each country’s heritage crafts. The finished products will be on display at a reception at the tail end of London Fashion Week.
Kitx was a no-brainer to include. The Australian designer Kit Willow has been dedicated to ethical and low-impact design since she started her brand in 2015, and takes it about 10 steps further than her peers. For her Fall 2017 collection, for instance, she used pailettes made from recycled bottle caps that took years to develop; in this fast-paced industry, that sort of patience is hard to come by. It earned her a fan in Emma Watson, Hollywood’s most ardent supporter of ethical fashion. Willow’s main concern is the sourcing of materials: She uses 100 percent organic silk when she can, or switches to cupro, which has a similar feel but is made from recycled cellulose, a byproduct of cotton. She also uses tons of linen, which is organic and requires less water and fertilizers than cotton, and often mixes cupro and linen together for a surprisingly glossy, satin-y hybrid. “Fashion is the second-biggest polluter in the world, and a lot of it comes down to the materials,” she explains. “We forget that fashion starts at the dirt level. It starts with the farmers, the cotton crops, the dyeing, the deforestation of trees for [wood-based fabrics like] viscose . . . . It has a profound effect on water and land, which is where we’re seeing the impact now.”

I work in fashion

I work in fashion so I have to spend horrific amounts on clothes’
Because I work in the fashion industry, as a couture embroiderer for high-end fashion houses, I’m expected to look a certain way. I can’t walk into Chanel’s head office in a pair of H&M jeans and be taken seriously.
That means constantly updating my wardrobe – I have to keep up with the latest trends. Effectively, I have to sell myself and embody Chloe Savage Embroidery. Sometimes that means I wear my own work, but when I go for a job for a specific client, I always wear some key pieces that show I get that brand and understand where it is right now.
It’s horrifying to think about how much I spend on designer gear. It makes me slightly nauseous. I reckon I own about 250-300 pairs of £200 shoes, 30 £600 handbags, seven or eight £3,000 suits, nine £8,000 evening dresses, five £800 to £900 hats and 22 pairs of £400 sunglasses. The most expensive item I own is a custom-made Dior suit which cost £9,500 – it’s so expensive I hardly ever dare to wear it.

TOP-HANDLE

TOP-HANDLE HANDBAGS WERE EVERYWHERE ON DAY 3 OF NEW YORK FASHION WEEK
While the street style crowd had to bundle up during the first two days of New York Fashion Week, this weekend is bringing plenty of rain to challenge everyone's getting-dressed know-how. Fortunately, there were plenty of great outfits to admire on Saturday, which boasted stand-out Fall 2018 shows by Christian Siriano and Alexander Wang.
We noticed a common thread of accessorizing, too: Top-handle handbags were everywhere. The "It" purse was spotted in all different shapes and colors, from Strathberry's structured style (a Meghan Markle favorite) to Danse Lente's avant-garde hexagonal silhouette.
Browse our favorite street style looks from day three of New York Fashion Week in the gallery below, and be sure to check out our list of "It" items to watch in between shows.

Flaunting Logos Is Making A Fashion Comeback

Flaunting Logos Is Making A Fashion Comeback
Fashion goes in cycles, and it looks like a flashy one is coming back into vogue: showing off brand logos.
Upscale handbag label Coach is one telling example. Its Signature logo C line, which at its peak accounted for 70% of its global retail sales before crashing in popularity and being retired, is about to be relaunched in March.
“What we are seeing there is a part of global movement in luxury brands toward a higher penetration of logo product,” Josh Schulman, CEO and brand president of the Coach brand, said on a conference call Tuesday, when Coach parent Tapestry, which also owns Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman fashion labels, reported better-than-expected second quarter results.
However, Schulman is not oblivious to the brand’s painful logo lesson: When the C logo line became ubiquitous, it lost its aura of exclusivity and ended up hurting Coach's brand image and sales. The company embarked on a turnaround that included the 2013 hiring of British fashion designer Stuart Vevers as its executive creative director and the 2016 signing of pop star Selena Gomez as brand ambassador. The logo collection all but disappeared from Coach’s retail assortment and marketing campaigns, Schulman has said.
