Halle Bailey Stuns In Aerie
Over the weekend, an Aerie event was hosted by the songstress Halle Bailey. At the event, she wore a white jumpsuit by the brand that had a strapless detail, accentuating her decolletage. The top was fitted with a stretch material with side cutouts revealing a bit of her lower back while the bottom was loose and flowy. She wore a few dainty gold necklaces and stacked gold bracelets, a few mostly likely from Aerie, and a pair of white sandals. We’ll be taking inspiration from her look as the weather begins to warm up.
Pierpaolo Piccoli Exits Valentino
Valentino’s creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli has decided to step down from his role after over two decades with the brand, reports The New York Times. He’s been a mainstay at the fashion house since 1989. His departure has saddened the likes of fashion insiders and lovers. Piccoli was handpicked by the founder Valentino Garavani for his lauded role before his retirement alongside Maria Grazia Chiuri in 2007. Then, in 2016, Piccoli became the sole creative director.
“Not all stories have a beginning or an end, some live a kind of eternal present that shines so bright that it won’t produce any shadows. I’ve been in this company for 25 years, and for 25 years I’ve existed and I’ve lived with the people who have woven the weaves of this beautiful story,” Piccioli said in a statement.
These Pharrell-Inspired Timberlands Are A Dream
These new pearl-studded Timberlands that were worn by Drake on his Instagram stories caught our attention a few days ago. They exude the same energy seen on the striking Timberland boots created as a part of Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring collection. This brand has been growing in popularity again, in recent months they’ve been seen on runways at Paris Fashion Week Men’s. Now, designer Mattias Gollin, in collaboration with Timberland Europe, has extended that with these angelic boots with Swarovski crystal adornments and, of course, pearls. A white abstract design on the outside of the shoe is also included in the completion of the design.
