Hong Kong-based A Bathing Ape has revealed a new t-shirt capsule featuring photographs of onscreen legend Marilyn Monroe. The collection includes six different t-shirts, each of which is offered in either black and white and feature various photograph of Monroe with the label’s signature ape head and camouflage motifs. One of the shirts is printed with Monroe’s autograph.

Press announcing the effort reads, “Marilyn Monroe, born on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles, California, United States, is Hollywood’s most popular actress and model, with leading roles in the 1955 film The Seven Year Itch and 1959’s Some Like It Hot. Known as a sex symbol, her unique blend of beauty and innocence captivated audiences around the world. She is considered the most photographed woman of the 20th century time and her influence has not faded, more than half a century later.”

The collaborative effort with Monroe’s estate includes a montage of one her most famous set of photographs, multiple shot of her in a white skirt that is flying upward thanks to a gust of subway air. The image was shot by Sam Shaw in 1954 during filming of The Seven Year Itch on Lexington Avenue between 52nd and 53rd Street in New York.

The BAPE capsule also includes a Milton Green shot portrait of Monroe whose face is overlaid with the brand’s pink camo graphic.

Monroe died at the age of 36 in 1962 from a barbiturate overdose. Following her death, there have been extensive legal battles over ownership of her name, image and likeness.

According to BAPE press, Monroe’s images were procured through Authentic Brands Group, which purchased the  intellectual property of Marilyn Monroe LLC in 2011 from Anna Strasberg, wife of the late Lee Strasberg. In her final will, Monroe left all her clothes and personal effects to Strasberg, who was her friend and mentor.

A Bathing Ape’s first ever collaboration with Marilyn Monroe will be available at BAPE’s U.S. stores and us.bape.com on August 29, 2020.

Check out all six BAPE x Monroe t-shirts included in the capsule below.

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✨
