Beyoncé used her considerable platform last night to speak out on the death of Houston-born George Floyd, who was murdered on May 25, 2020, by a white Minneapolis police officer, who knelt on the 46-year-old Floyd’s neck for eight minutes minutes and 46 seconds.

In an Instagram video, the 38-year-old entertainer, who has a history of advocating for and donating money to organizations uplifting black people, stated, “We need justice for George Floyd. We all witnessed his murder in broad daylight. We’re broken and disgusted. We cannot normalize this pain.

“I’m not only speaking to people of color. If you’re white, black, brown or anything in between, I’m sure you feel hopeless by the racism going on in America right now. No more senseless killings of human beings. No more seeing people of color as less than human. We can no longer look away.

“George was all of our family. He’s our family because he’s a fellow American. There have been too many times that we’ve seen these violent killings, and no consequences. Yes, someone’s been charged, but justice is far from being achieved. Please sign the petition and continue to pray for peace, compassion and healing for our country.” 

In the caption, she added, “If you want to demand more charges brought on all those involved in the death of George Floyd, click the link in my bio to sign the petition.”

The link in her bio links to a list of petitions people can sign to push for justice for Floyd. Petitions include change.org, colorofchange.org, wecantbreathe.org and naacp.org. Those who are interested in pressuring officials can also text “FLOYD” to 55156 to sign the petition.

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.
