| Fashion Designer, LaQuan Smith Finds Inspiration From Strong, New York Women - Forbes Posted: 12 Feb 2020 04:00 AM PST  LaQuan Smith Fall / Winter 2020 Collection Getty Images"I was really inspired by a tough woman," LaQuan Smith proclaimed backstage, minutes before the start of his Fall / Winter 2020 runway show at Spring Studios. "I'm inspired by a woman who is heartbroken and ready to regain her confidence and bad bitch-ness. The collection is super tough and it feels more modern than ever."  "I'm inspired by a woman who is heartbroken and ready to regain her confidence and bad bitch-ness." MATTEThe New York-native designer looked calm amid the typical backstage chaos as models started to barrel in from hair and makeup sporting blunt bangs with onyx-stained lips. He started to describe his muse as a woman who appreciates glamour; someone who is not afraid to dress up in the middle of the day just to run her errands "like a boss woman should". While designing for an unapologetically sexy woman with strong silhouettes is not new for LaQuan Smith, he specifically had the New York woman in mind for this season. After a quick scan of the clothes prepped backstage, that ambition was clear.  Daphne Groeneveld struts down in a slinky metallic dress. MATTEThe rolling racks were filled with collection pieces that were almost entirely all black – party dresses, matching separates, cat suits and killer outerwear in leathers, sheeny nylons, velvet and luxe beadwork, with some statement pieces in white and metallics. An enormous fur bag emblazoned with "I'M MOVING OUT" and a black tee-shirt with a famous, uncouth line by Tony Montana in the film "Scarface" couldn't be missed. Every garment screamed femme fatale.  From party dresses to cat suits, LaQuan achieved bold and sexy with an all-black color palette. MATTELights dimmed and LaQuan's show commenced with an untraditional approach — the first model emerged from a seat in the first row instead of back-of-house, turning heads as she stepped up to open the show in a wool halter dress and puffy over-the-knee stiletto boots. Each model was welcomed with a reverberating hoot and howl from showgoers; arguably, emotional reactions to the ferocious level of confidence for the phoenix-like women as if they were emerging post-breakup, just as LaQuan Smith intended. A powerful trio of models signaled an ovation and at one point, the soundtrack shifted to sexual moans as a model in a slinky and glittery mesh gown made her way down the catwalk.

"It's looking at everything on a full scale – where is LaQuan Smith in the next five to ten years? I'm always thinking about that, which is why I'm so selective with partnerships and everything that I do because I want to be able to have longevity in this business. I'm constantly trying to be innovative and reinvent ways to stay relevant as a business."  American singer-songwriter, Tinashe sipped champagne front row. MATTEThe designer's ambassadorship with Moët & Chandon is just one example of what he calls a meaningful partnership. "It's a great pedestal for me and my business," Smith shares. "Moët and LaQuan Smith have a lot of similar brand values. When I think of Moët I think of glamour, luxury and celebration, and what's more fabulous than a woman in a LaQuan Smith dress holding a glass of champagne? To me that is just so, like, regular." The designer had champagne flowing backstage and across his front row in pink goblets. The show truly felt like a celebration of sorts.  Final walk at LaQuan Smith Getty Images for Jordache "The collection is super tough and it feels more modern than ever." Getty ImagesLaQuan Smith made a name for himself dressing the likes of Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, Rihanna and Lady Gaga, but this new resurgence of New York glamour will uncover the inner vixen from exhibitionists to the everyday women.  |
| Phoebe Philo Isn’t Finished With Fashion - WWD Posted: 11 Feb 2020 09:01 PM PST  Scarlett Johansson and @colinjost were all smiles at the @vanityfair Oscars after party. "We were saying, this is the hottest party and no one has their phone out," shared a photographer. It was true; cell phones were generally out of sight. As the night was winding down, one guest made sure to ask Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost for a selfie, though. It was close to 1 a.m., and the two had been sitting quietly together; Johansson sipped on Champagne, as Jost munched on a burger. They soon called it a night, as did Billy Porter, who was impossible to miss in a bold, oversized hat. Tap the link in bio for an inside look at the celebrity-filled affair.

| Model Denise Bidot Joins Willam Belli on Quibi, Hearst Fashion Show - WWD Posted: 11 Feb 2020 03:15 PM PST  Count model Denise Bidot among the wave of New Yorkers defecting to Los Angeles, but she didn't come just for the weather. Bidot is officially joining as cohost of the upcoming Quibi show "Fashion's a Drag," produced by Hearst Originals, the production arm of Hearst Magazines that has been expanding in L.A. over the last year as it works to sell more shows and IP to Hollywood. Bidot will be hosting the show with Willam Belli, a well-known drag queen, and they will be discussing fashion on a daily basis over the spring and summer, mainly from a celebrity angle but with some runway worked in. Quibi's entire content model is streaming short-form video, so episodes of "Fashion's a Drag" will only run 10 minutes or so, five days a week and the current order is for 130 episodes starting in early April, when Quibi launches. "It's the buzz around town, so to be part of it is exciting," Bidot said. "People are ready for something like this, quicker bites, and we have to create content for them." Willam Belli in 2019. John Salangsang/Shutterstock Bidot just last week moved to L.A. for the gig, her highest profile TV role to date, setting up in the Hollywood Hills. But when she was approached last fall by Hearst's Jason Ikeler about possibly joining the show, she admitted not knowing much about the new platform. Now, she's feeling the anticipation for Quibi's launch and expects the show to "be huge." Meanwhile, media pundits are generally curious about how Quibi will perform but skeptical of the business model. The company has raised a staggering $1.4 billion from private equity in two years, but a January report from The Information citing internal sources said the company was already expecting to burn through $1.5 billion in its first year. But the slate of shows for the year, 175 in total cranking out 8,500 episodes, is ambitious. And "Fashion's a Drag" is aiming to be central to Quibi's fashion and style offering in its "Daily Essentials" category, with Bidot and Belli, along with special guests, breaking down looks, trends and style with a critical and inclusive eye, but a tone that isn't mean. "We all respect each other and we don't want to put people down," Bidot said. "It's going to be fun and not take fashion too seriously. But red carpet and runway fashion is something people look up to and I think it's up to us to make sure they're inclusive…why not continue to nudge in that direction." This show isn't the only one that Hearst will have on Quibi either. Ikeler, executive director of Hearst Originals, said he first pitched them back in June and in addition to Bidot and Belli's show Hearst is producing another daily, "This Day in Useless Celebrity History," hosted by former Olympic skater Adam Rippon. As for other shows, Ikeler said talks with Quibi are ongoing. "We're actively pitching…it's a very open dialogue," Ikeler said. As for expectations around the shows, in terms of viewership, he said that's "all too early to talk about." It's really based on how many people sign up for Quibi, which is charging monthly $4.99 with ads or $7.99 without, and then actually use it. Sources have speculated expectations vary widely, from 20 million to 70 million sign ups in the first few years. For Hearst, however, Quibi is just one part of an increasingly ambitious video content strategy. "The goal within Originals," Ikeler said, "is to sell as many series to as many platforms as possible." For More, See: Who Will Succeed Glenda Bailey at Harper's Bazaar?
