culture Club: Continuing to flex its cultural muscles, Saint Laurent said it would produce a 30-minute English-language film by Spanish author Pedro Almodovar.
It is a western starring Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal and filming is to begin in August, with the yet-to-be-scheduled film festival expected to be released in 2023.
All characters will be dressed in Saint Laurent’s clothing and accessories designed by its creative director, Anthony Vacarello.
Vaccarello has made bespoke films a major feature of his tenure, with Saint Laurent producing films in addition to his wardrobe. They are part of his Selfie project, launched in 2018 and meant as an artistic commentary viewed through the lens of Saint Laurent.
Previous iterations included films and photography signed by writer Bret Easton Ellis, performance artist Vanessa Beecroft, photographer Daido Moriyama, film director Gaspar Noe, as well as a chapter curated by Hong Kong’s Wong Kar-wai and directed by Wing Shia. Noe’s film debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019.
Vaccarello is strengthening the relationship between Saint Laurent and various creative fields including photography, art and design, commissioning exclusive works related to brand values such as self-expression, while giving creative freedom to each artist.
According to IndieWire, which, like WWD, is owned by Penske Media Corp., Almodovar’s “Strange Way of Life” is a group of isolated, middle-aged gunmen, with most of the action taking place in the desert region of Spain’s Almería region. Follows the pair, where Sergio Leone famously shot “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”.

Four collections in the resort season mark the first foray into the pre-collections of interior designers Lily Mismer and Jack Miner. The lineup was described as “dark, romantic or even sensual” (similar to fall’s “grungy-glam” proclamation), and served as intense detail in dramatic, feminine silhouettes.
“Things have a slight edge, whether they are revealing or pretty,” Mismer said during a preview. “We took a bunch of risks and tried a lot for us. Last season we had two pairs of very simple, Napa lamb pants, and this time we did a really fun interior leather show. It’s a first of a kind for us — they’re either really marshmallow-y Pirlo lamb, chunky napa or sleek, oily patties. One of the risks we took was to design a full, actual bra.”
sight: Dark, sensual femininity.
Quote of note:“It’s our fourth season, and it felt like we’ve truly nailed all the facets of the inner voice and inner woman in the fall of 2022. This is our first pre-collection, and for me, it’s a carryover from some of those narratives.” Just like it started to tease, solidified within this collection. There’s a lot of freshness and newness, carry-over things that were worked and experimented with fits and fabrics. It’s a good mix of fiction The ones that existed — that I would say are about drama and darkness. … We’re in a little science fiction, post-apocalyptic, “Mismer said.

After helping headline the Connecticut Office of Tourism’s double-decker bus at Sunday’s NYC Pride march, Susan Bartsch looked a little tired Monday morning.
Staying in blazing 90-degree sunlight for hours might be the brightest at most, but Bartsch wasn’t complaining. The tourism office in the neighboring state of New York recruited nightlife experts to create a mobile version of the Bartsland “on top” party. She was joined on Bus Float by fashion designer Christian Siriano, who has a home in Connecticut. Artist Joy Arias was also accompanied by “RuPaul Drag Race” alum Milk and Connecticut Office of Tourism director Noel Stevenson.
The Office’s involvement and investment in this year’s NYC Pride March is part of its more than $3 million “Find Your Vibe” media campaign, which plays the state’s upsides, including the LGBTQ community, businesses and events, a spokesperson said Monday. Is.
Once word got out that Bartsch was curating, the tourism office was filled with over 100 volunteers offering their support and services. To spur interest, Bartsland and Connecticut Office Tourism promoted the event through their combined more than 300,000 social media followers.
More than 100 people offered to volunteer after learning that Bartsch was involved.

CTVisit wanted to take its lead in LGBTQ issues such as gay marriage and parenting rights. The double-decker bus was also meant to remind the state that the constitution is proactive about welcoming LGBTQ passengers. The state recently became the first state to join the International LGBTQ Travel Association as a global partner.
Earlier this year, Connecticut lawmakers passed a law providing health care protections for transgender people. And earlier this year, the Connecticut Parentage Act went into effect, ensuring equal treatment regardless of parents’ marital status.
Connecticut-based corporations such as Xerox, Gartner, The Hartford and Pitney Bowes earned a score of 100 on this year’s Corporate Equality Index. Darien is one of the smaller towns in the state that has hosted its first significant Pride Party this year.
“The way things are now, things are really tough,” Bartsch said. “The more corporations and larger organizations get behind inclusivity, LGBTQ+ issues and Black Lives Matter, [the better], We are retreating. I’m happy to support someone who will help make the big picture more inclusive and to the point that everyone is welcome. They are falling behind which many people are opposing. This was really my inspiration. ,

Another encouragement was Sunday’s opportunity to bring different communities together in support of the LGBTQ community. Bartsch said she has long been a supporter of the LGBTQ community, although she does not identify as LGBTQ. “Very pleased” that CTVisit recognized her work and asked her to join it, Bartsch said, “I am very interested in working with corporations that advance the cause. To leave everything behind.” For that we need a lot of action and a lot of people. It’s devastating how we are holding back.”
In Sunday’s NYC march, which Bartsch said she hadn’t attended for years prior to this weekend, she said, “It was more welcoming than ever. There are so many corporations that embrace the movement and the community as a whole.” Which is good. The more we can be one, the better. It is very important to get that message out there.
“We just need to embrace people from all walks of life. It was great. It was beautiful.”
Siriano also had a hand in CTVsit’s “#FindYourVibe” summer campaign, which encourages Connecticut visitors to find their own fun or relaxation. A clip from the designer’s most recent New York Fashion Week show, held at the border at her Westport, Connecticut house, is pictured.
Lunya, a luxury sleepwear brand founded 10 years ago, isn’t resting in terms of expansion plans.
The growing company has named Blair Lawson as its new chief executive officer for Lunya founder Ashley Merrill, who will remain in an advisory role.
Lawson, who became CEO in mid-May, is busy. The brand, based in Santa Monica, Calif., is expanding its retail footprint from four to eight boutiques this year and partnering with major department stores including Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale’s.
The Lunya founder said she spent two years looking for someone to take over the top executive’s job. She was impressed by Lawson’s more than 10 years working at LVMH, as well as her jobs as chief business officer at Beautycounter and Goop. “It’s like handing over your baby,” Merrill said. “I didn’t take it lightly.”
The new CEO said she sees great potential. “There’s a ton of opportunity that I think was elevated by COVID,” Lawson said. “Right now, our business is almost all direct-to-consumer, and I think there’s a lot of potential for expansion in retail, wholesale, and partnerships.”
As of early 2022, the company only had four retail locations in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta and Houston. It has added two more stores this year in San Francisco and Boston and two more on the way in Chicago and Dallas.
It’s already sold at Nordstrom and select boutiques like Revolve and Neighborhood Goods. Later in the third quarter, it’s launching merchandise at Neiman Marcus and then at Saks Fifth Avenue. By the spring of next year, it will also be on Bloomingdale’s shelves.

The company’s revenue has doubled since 2019, said Merrill, who declined to give specific numbers. It helped when the sleepwear innovator introduced a partner in 2019 with Lahgo, a men’s brand for its women’s line, Lunya. Like the women’s line, this includes sleepwear and loungewear made from comfortable, high-end fabrics. Best sellers include a washable short silk set for $238, a restorative jogger for $148, and a cotton/silk long-sleeved Henley for $98.
Nearly all of Lunya’s merchandise is what the company calls “elevated rest wear,” which is functional for sleep and home use. Lunya’s best-selling product for women is a tank top and pull-on shorts set made of washable silk, priced at $188.
Another popular item is an organic Pima cotton robe with some innovative details, such as an attached belt, sleeves narrow enough to push them up so you don’t get them wet while washing your face or working in the kitchen, and a neckline. Which at the front door modestly transforms into a V-neck-covered neck for receiving packages. It sells for $250.
Lunia is also working with Innovative Fabrics. It is introducing a Pima cotton line called Cooldown Pima, which works to cool down your body while you sleep. “We consider ourselves problem solvers to get better rest,” Merrill said. “Temperature appears to be one of the challenges of getting a good night’s rest.”
In the fall, Lunya will introduce washable silk sweatpants, called Silksweats, and the company is testing washable silk bedding. “Homeware products are definitely on the road map,” Lawson said.
Merrill started Lunya with an idea that grew into a business. She was tired of wearing her husband’s old T-shirt as sleepwear. He didn’t put his concept into action until after he enrolled in business school at the University of California Los Angeles.
Now the company is moving to the next level. “I really believe that different stages of a company require different things. I have been looking for a great CEO for a long time,” Merrill said. “Now the company gets the two of us. Together we can do a really great job.”
