Paul Smith: ‘Tailoring is coming back strong’

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Paul Smith wants to “redefine” the suit.
The 77-year-old fashion designer – who launched his eponymous menswear label in 1970 – dismissed suggestions two-pieces have fallen out of fashion in favour of a more casual attire, and insisted there are many different ways of styling suits to stay modern.
He told The Sunday Times Style magazine: “Tailoring is coming back strongly.
“My recent show in Paris was about redefining the suit. A suit today can have soft construction. It can have shoulder pads or no pads and drawstring trousers and be worn with a polo shirt and sneakers.”
And the designer isn’t a fan of casual footwear such as trainers.
Indicating his own brown brogues, he said: “I’m a fan of classic shoes.”
Paul doesn’t have an email address and bans screens from his meetings, and he believes designers these days spend too much time following social media-driven trends, rather than breaking away to have their own influence.
He said: “It’s the same kinds of collections in the same kinds of shops. It’s extraordinarily disappointing that everybody is willing to be so similar.”
Paul hopes his screen ban will help bring back the “power of observation” and spark some creativity.
He said: “I tell the team a story about something I’ve seen. I show them a book and say, ‘Look at the colours? Look at that turquoise next to that blue. Let’s use that as a colour reference.’ I want them not just to look but to see — see something different in the real world, something you cannot find anywhere else.”

Ralph Lauren urged by PETA to stop using cashmere

OHMYGOSSIP — Ralph Lauren has been urged by PETA to stop using cashmere.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has called out the luxury fashion brand for its use of the fine, soft wool, originally that from the Kashmir goat and is “awaiting” a response from the multibillion-dollar enterprise after asking it to “drop cashmere”.
During the Ralph Lauren Corp. annual meeting on Thursday (03.08.23), PETA said: “Ralph Lauren Corporation pledges to offer timeless designs created through responsible sourcing.
“The company believes that true luxury encompasses how a product was made. Based on the findings of PETA Asia’s recent investigation into the cashmere industry sourcing practices, the organisation raises concerns regarding responsible cashmere. The question is, when will Ralph Lauren embrace its own definition of true luxury and drop cashmere?”
Katie Ioanilli, chief global impact and communications officer, insisted that Ralph Lauren is “very clear on how we treat animals in our supply chain.”
Ioanilli said: “Our policy commits us to the respectful treatment of animals, which we believe together with other practices can contribute to species conservation and the protection of ecosystems.
“We are aware of the PETA report. We, along with other Sustainable Fiber Alliance members, await additional information that would better help us assess the situation and if appropriate to take action.”
The animal rights group has already successfully got a number of designer brands to stop using fur, including Ralph Lauren.
Burberry, John Galliano, Gucci, Versace, Stella McCartney and Michael Kors also do not use real animal fur in their products.

‘Up-and-coming fashion designer’ Roger Federer hints at another Uniqlo collection

OHMYGOSSIP — Retired tennis ace Roger Federer has described himself as an “up-and-coming” fashion designer.
The 41-year-old former Grand Slam champion has joined forces with the fashion label Uniqlo, founded by Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson, to create a capsule collection for the Japanese casual wear retailer.
The racket king has already dipped his toe into fashion.
In 2018, the Swiss sporting legend inked an endorsement deal with Uniqlo, whilst he released a sneaker with the Swiss brand On.
And when GQ called him a fashion designer, he quipped: “Up-and-coming fashion designer.”
The collection is a nine-piece unisex line – boasting a grey fleece zip-up jacket, a blue two-tone polo, and cropped track pants.
Of his forays into fashion, Federer said: “I really enjoy it.
“It’s like deep diving into a completely different world. It’s like the art world or the jewellery world or car world. The fashion world is the one I know a lot. And I’ve gotten to know so many of the beautiful and best designers, so I’ve been very fortunate.”
Each piece is a twist on Federer’s own style.
He explained: “I wanted the collection to be something that I haven’t really done in the past, but yet it wouldn’t feel like, ‘What is he doing? He looks completely different.'”
And it was no mean feat working on the designs with Anderson.
Federer – who recently got up on stage with Coldplay to play the shaker during Chris Martin and co’s performance of ‘Don’t Panic’ – recalled: “Sometimes we would look at it and talk about it and then we would be very happy, but then we still would make a lot of changes.
“All these little details, in my mind, they all make a difference at the end.”
On his involvement, he added: “Jonathan has a wonderful feel with it. But he always wanted it to be my decision as well, and my input.”
And he teased that the pair are “ready to go” for another collection.
He said: “We would’ve liked the collection to be even bigger because we had so many cool pieces. But at the end, at some point, you have to cut it down. But it could have been basically double in size.”

Florence Pugh, Jimin of BTS and ROSÉ from BLACKPINK star in new Tiffany’s campaign

OHMYGOSSIP — Florence Pugh, Jimin of BTS and ROSÉ from BLACKPINK star in Tiffany and Co.’s Tiffany Lock collection campaign.
The ‘Oppenheimer’ actress is the luxury jewellery brand’s latest House Ambassador and stars in the flawless promos alongside the K-Pop stars and singer Nancy Ajram
A press release notes that: “Celebrating the icon of love, each campaign star is featured in the newest Lock designs. Each design is a powerful symbol of unbreakable bonds.
Alexandre Arnault, Executive Vice President, Product and Communication, commented: “We are excited to showcase the new expressions of the Tiffany Lock motif.
Our House Ambassadors showcase the new designs in a campaign that is anchored in the idea of love, which has been central to our brand DNA since our founding in 1837.”
The beautiful collection includes pendants, rings, earrings, and bracelets in various colourways.
A description adds: “Designed for all genders, the collection introduces various colourways of earrings, pendants, rings and a bracelet to the coveted diamond and gold collection. Distinguished by sleek silhouettes and adorned with Tiffany’s legendary diamonds, the offerings are available in 18k white, yellow and rose gold with full pavé diamonds, half pavé diamonds or an all-metal way. In addition, the House will debut a new Lock bracelet in 18k white gold with half pavé diamonds and half baguette diamonds.”
The Tiffany Lock campaign and latest iterations of the collection are available at Tiffany and Co. stores around the world and on Tiffany.com.
Meanwhile, the ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ star recently admitted she shaved her head to take the “vanity out of the picture”.
Florence caused a buzz on the red carpet when she walked the red carpet at the 2023 Met Gala in May sporting a cropped hairstyle.
And she said the decision to shear all her hair off was deliberate to protect herself as an actress.
By changing her appearance, she believes she can produce more convincing on-screen performances.
Speaking to Radio Times magazine, she said: “I purposefully chose to look like that. I wanted vanity out of the picture.
“Hollywood is very glamorous – especially for women – and it’s hard for an audience to see past that. Whenever I’ve not needed to be glam or have a full face of makeup, I fight to keep it that way. It helps the audience. Vanity is gone.
“The only thing that people can look at then is your raw face.”
The 27-year-old British star – who made her acting debut in 2014 drama film ‘The Falling’ – says she has constantly been fighting to have control her own image.
She explained: “Even at the beginning of my career, I was always fighting to control my image. It helps me when I’m wearing less makeup because then I’m less of a sparkly thing on screen. I feel like I’m allowed to do ugly faces, like it’s more acceptable.”
And Florence believes that opting to wear less makeup has helped her land unconventional roles as Hollywood glamour can serve as a distraction.
She added: “I’ve loved stretching any size of role, any obscure character.
“There are things where I don’t know how I mustered the courage – but I pushed myself off the cliff and hoped the wings came out.”

Shirley Ballas’ style regrets

OHMYGOSSIP — Shirley Ballas regrets her previous style choices.
The 62-year-old former professional dancer and current ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judge admits she made a lot of fashion and beauty mistakes in the past and she would change them if she could.
Speaking to HELLO!, she said: “When I was competing in ballroom in the ’80s one of the things I regret most was having those big bouffant hair dos. You used to pull it up and backcomb it with the tail comb, all the way until it held, and then when you used to take it out all your hair was in the brush. We also had those tight slicked-back buns with lots of gel. I won two Blackpools with my hair in a short black bob with a fringe!”
Shirley also admitted she is surprised she did not ruin her hair, because she used to superglue rhinestones directly on to her head.
She said: “One of the worst things we did when competing was to get Bostick superglue and stick rhinestones down the centre of the head, directly onto our hair. Earrings were glued onto our ears, I can still feel them now! If you didn’t have a tube of Bostick you weren’t in the running for the title! After the competition you’d just pull it all out, and your hair would be stuck up like a hedgehog! I’m surprised I’ve got any hair left, it’s really been through the mill.”
However, these days, Shirley takes much better care of herself.
She said: “The first thing I do when I come home after the show is take out my hair extensions – you’d be surprised at how many there are! I also take half an hour on my own in the bathroom to remove my makeup and apply a sheet mask, and repair my skin after wearing heavy makeup for TV. I enjoy the occasional salon facial too.”

Dame Twiggy: ‘Pilates changed my life’

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Twiggy says Pilates has “changed my life”.
The 73-year-old model – whose real name is Lesley Lawson – turned to the exercise after putting her back out 10 years ago and not only does it keep her in shape but it has helped her to build up core strength.
Twiggy told the September 2023 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine: “I badly put my back out 10 years ago – I bent down for something and it went into a spasm. I spent the week in bed and it really scared me. I went to a wonderful osteopath who recommended Pilates, which I started when I felt better, and it’s the best thing I have ever done in my life. I wish I had started earlier. It has changed my life. I do it once a week for an hour with a wonderful teacher and I always say to her, ‘Rachel you’ve changed my life!’ I have really built up the strength in my core and my back.”
Twiggy has been married to her second husband Leigh Lawson since 1988 and she credits their longlasting marriage to “luck” and being “gentler” with each other.
She said: “[Leigh and I] have been together for 38 years, which is frightening! I suppose luck has a lot to do with it. You never know when you meet somebody how it’s all going to turn out or what life is going to throw at you. We’ve both been through things that didn’t work out for various reasons and when you’ve had that experience, you’re a little gentler when you meet someone else.”
The model also spoke about her excitement at the upcoming West End show, ‘Close Up: The Twiggy Musical’.
She said: “I only get involved with projects that really spark something in me, with people I love and want to work with. Ben Elton is an old friend and I love him to bits. He’s a huge talent – so clever and such a sweet man. The musical came about when we were having dinner about six years ago and he said, half-jokingly, ‘I should do your story! It’s an amazing story set in an amazing period – I should write it.’”

Gwyneth Paltrow ends all her showers with cold water

OHMYGOSSIP — Gwyneth Paltrow ends all her showers with cold water.
The 50-year-old actress and goop founder has been holidaying in Amagansett in Long Island, New York this summer and has been keeping her skin fresh with “everything showers”, which she finishes with cold water.
Writing on her goop website, Gwyneth explained: “I’ve been doing my version of an ‘everything shower’ out here in Amagansett this summer. It’s a little simpler than the ones on TikTok, and it’s also clean—made without a long list of ingredients linked to harmful health effects. To make it extra invigorating, I finish with a minute or so of pure cold water (hairstylists say cold water is great for hair, too).”
Gwyneth also revealed she is obsessed with “dry brushing” to keep her skin in perfect condition.
She said: “I rarely take a shower without starting with a good dry brush—all over, brushing toward the heart. It’s amazing for exfoliation, skin quality, and energy.”
And, the star and her husband Brad Falchuk use the same shampoo.
Writing about the goop Beauty Amino Acid Shinebath Shampoo, she explained: “So, so good. Clean hair care is hard to make, but this shampoo really delivers shine, softness, and manageability. Brad tried it a few days ago, and even he gave it a rave review.”

Trinny Woodall: ‘I made so many beauty mistakes when I was younger’

OHMYGOSSIP — Trinny Woodall has made “so many” beauty mistakes over the years.
The 59-year-old stylist – who launched her own Trinny Beauty line in 2017 – used to plaster on fake tan to hide her acne and has been left with sun damage as a result of basking outside to get a natural glow.
Talking to Woman and Home magazine, she said: “I made so many beauty mistakes when I was younger. When I had bad acne, I compensated by wearing a lot of fake tan. I went in the sun too, so I had sun damage.”
The former ‘What Not To Wear’ star resorted to laser treatment to help correct the scarring on her skin.
And Trinny is happy to be open about the “tweaks” she’s undergone on her appearance, including fillers in her face so she doesn’t look “skeletal” and regular wrinkle-smoothing Botox injections.
She added: “You have to be open about what tweaks you’ve had done. I have Botox twice a year.
“I’ve had a CO2 laser for my acne scarring and sun damage, and some filler in my temple because when you get older, you can look skeletal.”
According to Trinny, prevention is key to slowing down the clock and tackling the signs of aging before they appear.
She said: “I think it’s about balancing what will help you not develop more lines, versus texture of skin and keeping up a good skincare regime. “Everyone should follow five basic skincare steps, including cleansing and moisturising. Clean your skin, exfoliate with a liquid exfoliant – I love my Trinny London exfoliants. Use an antioxidant, a retinoid and SPF.”

Prada launches make-up and skincare

OHMYGOSSIP — Prada Beauty is set to launch make-up and skincare ranges.
The fashion giants are hoping to “propel the brand to new heights” with the new collections, following the huge success of the Prada Paradoxe fragrance last year.
Cyril Chapuy, L’Oréal Luxe president, told WWD: After the spectacular launch of Prada Paradoxe in 2022 that reinstated the brand’s leadership in feminine fragrances, the skin and colour launch opens a new chapter that will propel the brand to new heights.”
Prada co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons added: “Abandoning all the clichés of the past, we believe that beauty today is the representation of one’s personality, freedom and self-confidence.”
The make-up and skincare line will debut directly to customers via Prada.com on Tuesday (01.08.23) ahead of going on sale at upmarket department stores Harrods and Selfridges in London on August 18.
Global Creative Make-Up Artist Lynsey Alexander, who raided the Prada archives for inspiration for the new line, teased the range will include six four-colour eye palettes as well as soft filler foundation in 33 shades.
Speaking to Elle UK, he said: “My brief was to bring to life the Prada archive of prints and patterns and colour and vibrancy and try to encapsulate it in a beauty product.
“One of the biggest challenges was editing that wardrobe of colour and making the lipstick shades really Prada, really relevant, really beautiful and really wearable.”
The line, which has been in development for the last three years will range from 45 euros for a lipstick to 360 euros for a facecream.

Space observation will save us from the climate crisis, says top tech boss

OHMYGOSSIP — Space observation is the answer to solving the climate crisis, says the CEO of a pioneering space tech company.
Chris Newlands holds the top position at the Scottish-based corporation Space Aye and believes that a “collaborative satellite strategy” will allow life-saving progress to be made through “better decisions” to help with the rising temperature of the planet.
He said: “Our collaborative satellite strategy will focus not just the fire, but the firefighter. Using Space Aye’s patented method, command, and control could individually identify and deploy ground and air assets. Responders could also make better, more informed decisions which could save time and lives.
“Space Aye’s strategy is key to creating a smarter, global climate crisis reaction strategy. Space offers the ability to monitor and coordinate reactions in multiple locations, across the globe. The identification of survivors, responders and emergency services assets, from space, could prove pivotal in the fight to regain control and save lives.”
Chris went on to add that the technology and processes do exist and believes that space observation is “under-utilised” before insisting that the upcoming 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference – which is due to take place in Dubai from November until December – should focus on “space-powered” actions.
He added: “The technology and processes exist, if we can amalgamate our capabilities, underpinned by real-time satellite imagery and personalised location data, we can direct and protect the responders, from space. In my opinion, the Western Earth Observation satellite sector is under-valued, under-utilised, and lacks meaningful collaborations or leadership. We need to be more aligned and stronger together. Identifying the person or asset in the real-time satellite image is a game changer, in our self-inflicted battle with nature. We need to start walking the talk, COP28 should focus on short term, big impact actions, powered by space!

K-Pop star Dahyun is Michael Kors’ latest global brand ambassador

OHMYGOSSIP — K-Pop star Dahyun is Michael Kors’ latest global brand ambassador.
The Twice girl band member has appeared at the fashion label’s New York Fashion Week shows and is set to star in the MK fall/holiday campaign for 2023.
Kors said in a statement about the 25-year-old singer and fashionista joining their ambassador roster: “I’m excited to embrace the world of music and performance with Dahyun.
“She’s energetic, animated and has truly captured a global audience. From her incredible talent to her individual style, she’s the perfect representation of our brand.”
Recent shots include Dahyun modelling the Signature Logo Heather bag.
Previous fall collections include 2021’s tribute to Times Square.
The 63-year-old fashion designer introduced his collection film in New York at a pre-show, with special guests from the world of theatre, including Billy Porter and Chita Rivera.
The film starred supermodels Bella Hadid, Naomi Campbell, Precious Lee, Irina Shayk, and many more.
A lifelong fan of Broadway, Kors wanted to channel the “opening-night feeling”, and has opened up about missing going to the theatre amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
He told WWD at the time: “The heartbeat of New York is the Theatre District, and to see it just stopped was hard to comprehend because New York doesn’t stop.
“It’s about that opening-night feeling … I want everyone to have this fabulous night out where you have an amazing dinner and drinks at Sardi’s, with theatre history oozing out of the walls, then you hit the street, strut your stuff and show off. And you get to go into a temple of live performance and see Rufus Wainwright performing.”

Pharrell Williams created a custom stage jumpsuit for Beyonce ‘informed by her rare spirit’

OHMYGOSSIP — Pharrell Williams designed a special custom jumpsuit for Beyoncé’s tour that celebrated “her shape and form” and was “informed by her “rare spirit”.
The ‘Get Lucky’ hitmaker and fashion icon, who is creative director for Louis Vuitton Menswear, has detailed the thought process behind the dazzling black bedazzled all-in-one he created for the 41-year-old singer’s performance of ‘Formation’ on her ‘Renaissance’ tour.
In a video clip on the Louis Vuitton Instagram page, he said: “Beyoncé is a rare spirit.
“The idea that I know her as a human being and have known her for all this time and our connection, I feel like I’ve known this person for many lives.”
On creating the look to suit her iconic hourglass curves and to allow her to move freely onstage, he explained: “The idea here was to give her something that allows her body to set the template. Not only its shape and its form, which is basically informed by her spirit. Your body is literally a spiritual encasement. Continue to celebrate her shape and her form, but also make her feel free at the same time.”
He went on: “Everything was designed with an intention that a true, rare, very powerful spirit is meant to move.”
The ‘Happy’ hitmaker, 50, also created matching outfits for the ‘Cuff It’ singer and her 11-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter and her backing dancers.
Pharrell felt “blindsided” when he was chosen for the prestigious role at the luxury fashion house.
The songwriter and producer, who debuted his first collection for the fashion giant in June by turning Paris’ oldest bridge the Pont Neuf into a catwalk, was told he was getting the job by Louis Vuitton CEO Pietro Beccari while sitting in his Miami studio in late 2022.
He admitted in an interview with GQ: “I never thought that it would be me. It was – and it’s still – unreal.
“I didn’t know (my previous work) was leading to this though. I would’ve worked harder.”
Since taking the job, Pharrell – born Pharrell Lanscilo Williams – has been working out of a studio in the LV headquarters across the street from the Pont Neuf in Paris’ 2nd arrondissement.
He added about being given carte blanche at the fashion house to produce whatever work he wanted: “They just gave me the keys.
“You never really hear, ‘No.’ And if it’s ‘no’ it’s because something is not possible.
“But then they’re off in the distance trying to figure out how to engineer around it or make something bigger.”
He insisted about not letting nerves stop him from taking the job: “Hesitation and nerves are not a thing for me in this part of my life.
“It’s like not knowing that you were hungry.
“Would you hesitate to eat when the greatest meal that has ever been given to you ever is placed before you?
“You didn’t even know you were hungry because you were complacent and thankful. Would you hesitate to eat?”

Sadie Sink dresses like her ‘Stranger Things’ character

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Stranger Things’ star Sadie Sink admits her personal style has been influenced by her character on the Netflix sci-fi horror series.
The 21-year-old actress landed her breakthrough role as Maxine ‘Max’ Mayfield in the hit 80s-inspired series during season two in 2017, and she admits her alter ego’s fashion choices rubbed off on her because she was in her clothes for so long.
She told the London Evening Standard: “With fashion, I find myself kind of taking on the style of a character during a shoot or afterwards. I really felt it with Max during season 3 for some reason and her style there, I definitely felt like I was kind of taking it on just playing with colours more and even kind of taking some inspiration from the 80s. That definitely kind of led into my real life, but also because that shoot was maybe two years long. So to a certain point, if you’re wearing a character’s clothes for so long, it’s going to rub off on you in one way or another.”
As for makeup, she always opts for a simple natural look and never leaves the house without some brow gel to define her eyebrows.
She said: “When it comes to makeup, I would say for my everyday life the one thing that I tend to use every single day is a brow gel of some kind or a brow pencil. I’ve never really played a character that’s had a very specific beauty look. It’s always just kind of been very natural.”
Sadie’s latest role is as Armani Beauty’s latest global ambassador, for which she stars alongside Cate Blanchett in the luxury brand’s Si Eau De Parfum Intense fragrance campaign.
She said: “I am very excited to be working with the brand at this point in my life as I step into adulthood.”
The ‘Chuck’ actress says she feels “very adult” whenever she wears their fashion and beauty products.
Sadie said: “I feel very adult, very mature and sophisticated whenever I’m wearing Armani clothes or beauty, there’s definitely always a level of elegance there.”
And she explained how scent can help her settle into playing a new character.
Sadie explained: “It’s so nice to have a separation between yourself and the character and leave behind your own personal fragrance and take on a new scent.
“I think scent has the power to play a huge part in getting into character and it’s something that I’ve only recently thought about implementing in the future.”

Roger Federer and JW Anderson collaborate on Uniqlo collection

OHMYGOSSIP — Roger Federer and JW Anderson have collaborated on a Uniqlo collection.
The 41-year-old tennis legend has joined forces with the fashion label, founded by Jonathan Anderson, to create a capsule collection for the Japanese casual wear retailer.
While both Federer and Anderson have worked with Uniqlo in the past, this is their first time teaming up on a project together.
Roger told WWD: “I’ve always wanted to have a collection perfect for playing tennis while also versatile for the other parts of daily life. I’m fortunate that Jonathan shared this vision. Together we were able to create a stylish and comfortable line rooted in a classic tennis style. Jonathan is talented, creative and incredibly down-to-earth. It has been a pleasure to work with him on this collection.”
Jonathan said: “When I was first approached about creating a collection with Roger, I remember being very happy and excited. That’s because I was so influenced by watching Roger play. Thinking a lot about what LifeWear means for all the different people who look up to Roger, we designed a collection that could be worn in an actual match, for a classic look or just as easily be worn around town. We’ve got something that feels elevated, and it is kind of timeless.”
The collection is said to combine Federer’s tennis background with JW Anderson’s modern design codes.
Uniqlo’s Roger Federer Collection by JW Anderson will be available for purchase at Uniqlo stores and online starting August 28.

Sarah Jessica Parker isn’t worried about getting older

OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Jessica Parker is no longer concerned with getting older.
The 58-year-old actress has collaborated with Roc Skincare on their Look Forward Project — an initiative to encourage optimism around ageing – and she is relieved to work with a skincare brand which isn’t obsessed with youth.
Sarah told WWD: “I’m probably less concerned about [aging] than I was a year ago. I just don’t summon the time and energy to be worried. And to hear a large skin care line say, ‘we don’t want you to, we’re not going to pretend that we’re changing this process of waking up another day,’ the relationship has been affirming, and it’s given me what I need.”
The ‘Sex and the City’ star has curated a gift set for the campaign, which includes a serum, eye balm and SPF from the brand’s Revive + Glow range.
She said: “What works for me has worked for a lot of women for decades at an affordable price point. Skin care isn’t this thing just for the rarified, like ‘I can’t touch it or I have to mortgage my house to pay for it.’ That’s complicated, that’s confusing, those 10 to 15 steps. I don’t know people in the real world that have time for it.”
Fernando Acosta, chief executive officer of Roc Skincare added: “We are trying to help educate people on the power of optimism; that has a significant impact on our health, happiness and longevity. We started with age anxiety, and now, we’re extending that to our next generation.
“We did more research because we found out that the younger age groups are craving more education. More than half of women felt they were not optimistic when growing up and wish they had been, while 80 percent of women believe we should have more resources and support to ensure our children learn how to incorporate optimism into their lives.
“At the end, it’s just about delivering simpler communication for our consumers so that we can build trust.”

Ciara thanks son for Gap collaboration

OHMYGOSSIP — Ciara has her son to thank for her Gap and LoveShackFancy collaboration.
The 37-year-old singer used to dream about working with Gap and finally got her chance after her son Future Zahir worked on a campaign with the company back in 2017, when he was just three years old.
Speaking to WWD, she said: “I used to always dream of being a part of something with Gap when I was young, and it’s kind of amazing how my son actually gave me that opportunity, because he did a campaign in 2017.
“He was the first in our family to do that. I was looking at my daughter, and I go, ‘Gosh, I hope she can do a campaign like her brother did with Gap.’ And then I literally get a phone call like a week later after actually talking about that, manifesting that, [telling me], ‘Gap has an amazing collaboration with LoveShackFancy and would love for you and your baby to be a part of.’”
Ciara features in the new campaign with both of her children, Future, nine and Sienna, six.
Speaking about her reply to the offer to collaborate, she said: “I go, ‘That’s crazy!’ Talk about timing and the power of manifestation.’”
Ciara and her stylist Deonte “Deo” Nash worked with designer Kwame Adusei on the collection.
She said: “I’ve been becoming a fan of his. One, he’s a Black designer. And Kwame has this really cool, elegant, chic touch, and his silhouettes are amazing.”
LoveShackFancy designer Rebecca Hessel Cohen added: “I was obviously so excited because Gap has been so important to me my entire life, and I grew up going to that Gap on 74th [Street] with Lexington. It was like a rite of passage. I lived in it.”
