Jhené Aiko Announces Chilombo Album, Gets Candid With Fans On Twitter

Lovely and talented songstress Jhené Aiko has announced a launch date of March 6, 2020, for what will be her third solo album, a project titled Chilombo, a shout out to her family name, Jhené Chilombo.

Her beau, Big Sean (real name Sean Anderson), responded to the news on Instagram where he sweetly wrote under the post announcing the album, “It’s already a classic too 🔥🔥🔥.”

Following the announcement Aiko chopped up with her fans with an #Ask Jhené session on Twitter and answered an array of questions (including a few mean ones) with a mix of candid, funny and thoughtful responses.

When one fan wondered why she took a different approach with Chilombo‘s album art, Aiko wrote, “took it on the set of none of your concern… the scarf was made by an artist who makes scarfs based on the chakras… this one represents the solar plexus, the source of personal power and authentic self… i saw the pic and said… yes, this is the cover.” She then added, “always was self conscious about my face and my scar so i always had a cober where i was far away… but this is me, and i love me #CHILOMBO.”

Not surprisingly, Aiko was asked about Sean’s lyrics in “None of Your Concern,” in which he brags about giving Aiko nine orgasms in one day. When asked if Sean’s claims were true, Aiko responded with a smile-face emoji, “it was a collaborative effort.”

Other tidbits? Aiko “likes dogs” but is “obsessed with cats,” takes a poop twice a day, uses Essential Faith Oil perfume and says to expect additional collaborations with her father, Dr. Karamo Chilombo (birth name Greg Barnes) aka Dr. Chill.

Aiko was also asked quite a bit about other musicians. When asked to list her favorite song by Sean, she responded, “this new one y’all aint heard yet. She also mentioned Billie Eilish (real name Billie O’Connell), Summer Walker and Roddy Rich (real name Rodrick Moore Jr.) as three new artists she’s enjoying as of late. She listed “2 On” as her favorite Tinashe [Kachingwe] song and expressed a wish to work with Pharrell [Williams] and Chad Hugo of The Neptunes. As for her thoughts on Ariana Grande, Aiko simply wrote, “amazing voice.” She also agreed with a fan who said a collab with The Weeknd (real name [Abel Tesfaye] would be a great thing.

As for her own song-writing process, Aiko explained, “Introverted. chaotic at times. sometimes feels like downloads from other realms, other times just feels like im saying exactly how i feel in that moment… i wake up to write things down… lots of voice memos in the car when a rhyme comes to me.”

Below, check out Aiko’s album announcement, along with highlights from her #AskJhene session on Twitter.

Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah H Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah Hairston on Kerby Jean-Raymond whose label Pyer Moss appears to no longer be operational. 

Check out an excerpt below. 

Ten years in, Jean-Raymond’s star has only risen. He hangs out with celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Brent Faiyaz), made a cameo on Insecure, and drives flashy cars (a McLaren 720S, an Aston Martin Superleggera, a Porsche GT3 RS). Meanwhile, his brand is nearly nonexistent.

There is no Pyer Moss boutique. The clothing celebrated on the runway was mostly not available to anybody who didn’t have a celebrity stylist to pull it for them, and company insiders complained that quality control was so uneven that at times what was produced was too flawed to be sold. Jean-Raymond sometimes missed deadlines, didn’t always pay bills, started other projects, and alienated allies. He referred to Pyer Moss as an “art project” and seemed reluctant to make practical choices. Among the fashion insiders who had cheered his rise, there has been a growing feeling that he has wasted an opportunity to build something important.

The last straw for many of his early supporters was his couture show in July 2021. Titled “WAT U IZ,” and put on in the U.S. during Paris Couture Week, it was a tribute to the various innovations that Black people have been responsible for, often without credit. The models came down the runway decked out in a jar of peanut butter and a traffic light. A lot of it wasn’t really clothing, much less couture. Even if the professional critics and other members of the fashion press seemed hesitant to publicly express their disappointment, they whispered among each other that he’d lost the plot of his brand.

In sad news, Kering hasn't realized its mistake an In sad news, Kering hasn't realized its mistake and brought back Alessandro Michele (kidding but not really). Instead it's announced the appointment of Sabato De Sarno as Gucci creative director. De Sarno will present his debut runway collection at Milan Women’s Fashion Week in September 2023.

The 39-year-old Sabato De Sarno was raised in Naples, Italy. He began his career at Prada in 2005, moving to Dolce & Gabbana, before joining Valentino in 2009, where he eventually was appointed fashion director of men’s and women’s collections.

De Sarno's resume is no joke, so we look forward to seeing what he brings to the table and will do our best to not hold it against him that he replaced Michele. That's on Kering.
French luxury conglomerate LVMH announced earnings French luxury conglomerate LVMH announced earnings yesterday and noted that Fenty Beauty doubled its revenue in 2022 versus the prior year. In an earnings release the company attribued the growth to "expansion of its distribution network and the success of its launches." 

First launched with LVMH's beauty brand incubator Kendo in 2017, Fenty's growth over the past several years has largely been fueled by global expansion. 

Comnenting on Fenty Beauty's first forray into Asia, CEO Rihanna in 2019 stated on social media, "When I launched @fentybeauty in 2017, it was important to me to make sure it was available globally so everyone had access to it. We are continuing to expand our Fenty Beauty family to Hong Kong, Macau, Seoul and Jeju in September!”

While LVMH didn't provide 2022 Fenty Beauty revenue figures, it announced the beauty brand brought in $573M in revenue in 2018. Forbes in 2021 valued the entire operation as worth $2.8 billion, of which 50% belongs to Rihanna.
The purveyor of consistent heat, Casey Cadwallader The purveyor of consistent heat, Casey Cadwallader's #Mugler fall 2023 runway show in Paris, gave what it's supposed to give. Excellent casting featuring #Ziwe, Amber Valetta, Debra Shaw, Omahyra Mota, Paloma Elsesser, Anok Yai, Dominique Jackson, Maria Carla and more! Badass energy, bold pieces in leather, lace and some denim.

We think Thierry Mugler would be pleased✨
