Olivier Rousteing is the next guest designer at Jean Paul Gaultier
Following in the footsteps of Chitose Abe and Glenn Martens, Olivier Rousteing has been tapped as the next guest designer at Jean Paul Gaultier couture. Balmain’s signature protruding shoulders and houndstooth prints might just merge with the codes of JPG as the one-off collaboration will be presented at haute couture fashion week in Paris come July. Buckle up and hold on tight because Rousteing is about to take the wheel. Andrea Sacal
Harry Styles’ Pleasing is in a Shroom Bloom
Harry Styles’ Pleasing is in a Shroom Bloom. For the second micro collection from the buzzy beauty brand, Styles wanted to evoke “the feeling of lying in a park in early spring”. Modelled by the legendary Mick Fleetwood, the collection features 12 biodegradable nail polishes and two skin care products: an overnight serum and a nourishing hand cream that’s just as good for your nails as it is for your palms. Here comes the summer sun. Paul Toner
