Manolo Blahnik for ELVIS
Manolo Blahnik has partnered with Academy Award-winning costume designer Catherine Martin to create a selection of custom shoes for Baz Luhrmann’s larger-than-life film, Elvis, from Warner Bros. Pictures.
Inspired by existing Manolo Blahnik silhouettes, the shoes can be seen throughout the film on Elvis Presley (played by Austin Butler) and also on Jerry Schilling (played by Luke Bracey), who portrays the artist’s longtime associate. Manolo Blahnik and Martin have partnered together in the past, creating shoes for Luhrmann’s 2001 Oscar-winning film Moulin Rouge!.
“It has been an honor to work with the wonderful Catherine Martin once again,” said Blahnik. “She is a visionary of the costume world and so beautifully brings motion picture to life through her divine creative imagination and originality. I am constantly inspired by cultural movements and music and with Elvis as the muse, these styles were a joy to create! The `50s in general is an era that I am so often drawn to, particularly in my menswear designs, with some of my past and more recent collections inspiring the pieces for the film. I am incredibly grateful to Catherine for including my work in this already iconic film. It has been marvelous, a true privilege.”
Manolo Blahnik designs featured in the film are TUPELO, a black-and-white lace-up inspired by ‘50s menswear, VICTOR, a sleek white calf leather boot, and GRACELAND, a classic toggle desert boot in cappuccino-coloured suede.
“Manolo Blahnik’s brilliance and extraordinary craft is something I have admired for many years,” said Martin. “To work with him and create something unique yet historically truthful was an incredible privilege. To have at one’s disposal such extraordinary Italian ateliers was a luxury, resulting in beautiful, gorgeously crafted shoes. Coincidentally, Manolo Blahnik’s signature spectator lace ups are strikingly similar to the shoes Elvis habitually wore in the mid`50s. The iconic designer’s love of this style serendipitously reflected Elvis’s aesthetic in the 1950s.”
Baz Luhrmann’s ELVIS Only in Theaters June 24.

JimmyChoo – Iconic supermodel Kate Moss is the epitome of Bohemian Glamour – PRE-FALL 2020
If you have any sort of inclination of taste for the best in luxury design, certainly you are familiar with the iconic fashion design brand, Jimmy Choo – a leading global luxury brand, with an empowered sense of glamour and a playfully daring spirit. Jimmy Choo has, throughout the years, mastered the art of perfectly blending Italian craftsmanship with its fashion design creations.
The brand traces its roots to a bespoke shoemaker named Jimmy Choo, based in the East End of London in the early 1990s, who catered to the global jet set, including Princess Diana. The Jimmy Choo company was founded in 1996, with Mr Choo’s niece, Sandra Choi, who had been heading up design in the East End atelier, coming on board as Creative Director, a position she holds to this day. Mr Choo departed the company in 2001.
The sexy cut, fashionable design, and exceptional Italian craftsmanship struck a chord with a sophisticated clientele, and the first collection enjoyed immediate success. With a goal of creating a global luxury business, Jimmy Choo attracted outside investment and the company embarked on a significant expansion across product categories, channels and geographies.
A pioneer in the art of celebrity dressing, Jimmy Choo was among the first to bring shoes and handbags to Hollywood where the red carpet proved to be the ideal runway for the brand. Today, Jimmy Choo can be seen on style icons from celebrities to royalty, musicians to heads of state.
The brand’s reputation as a celebrity favourite helped to fuel its rapid expansion. Its iconography was further defined by the bold and dramatic advertising portraying glamorous but strong women in towering heels and luxurious handbags, captured by some of the most acclaimed fashion photographers in the world.
Retail development has been integral to the company’s strategy. The first Jimmy Choo store was opened in 1996 on Motcomb Street in London, complementing a distribution in some of the most prestigious multi-brand stores in the world. Two years later, the company expanded to the US, opening two stores in New York City and Beverly Hills. International expansion continued with Jimmy Choo securing locations in the premiere luxury shopping destinations of the world’s most prestigious cities including Sloane Street and Bond Street in London, Avenue Montaigne in Paris, Via Condotti in Rome, Madison Avenue in New York, Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, and Ginza in Tokyo.
Debido al estado reciente del mundo, el Metropolitan Museum of Art tuvo que posponer su exitosa exhibición de arte del Instituto de Vestuario de primavera 2020, “About Time: Fashion and Duration”, Met Gala, que originalmente se planeó para el 4 de mayo de 2020.
Met About “About Time: Fashion and Duration” se estableció para explorar la capacidad única de la moda de viajar en el tiempo, fusionando estilos de ropa de diferentes períodos para crear ‘nuevas’ ideas, avanzar en ciclos al mismo tiempo que avanzar y garantizar que algunos estilos se consideran atemporales y efímeros. ¡Vamos a ver!

Robert Coulson, 1964
Mientras que el Met todavía está cerrado, la organización decidió compartir su colección curada de prendas contemporáneas e históricas que traza un siglo y medio de moda. Programado para abrir al público el 29 de octubre de 2020, el trabajo presentado data de 1870, en honor al 150 aniversario del museo.

Presentado íntegramente con prendas negras, el “Sobre el tiempo: moda y duración” de Met Gala enfatiza la evolución de las siluetas y el uso de detalles secundarios. Con la colección de piezas que van desde 1870 hasta el presente, los curadores tienen como objetivo conectar el concepto de “duración” con debates sobre diversidad, inclusión, sostenibilidad y otras cuestiones éticas que seguramente expresarán un impacto continuo durante la próxima década de la moda de lujo. Empleando el concepto de la durée (duración) de Henri Bergson, explorará cómo la ropa genera asociaciones temporales que combinan pasado, presente y futuro. Virginia Woolf será la “narradora fantasma” de la exposición.

Una línea de tiempo de 120 prendas se desplegará en dos galerías adyacentes fabricadas como enormes caras de reloj y organizadas en torno al principio de sesenta minutos de moda. Cada “minuto” contará con un par de prendas: el trabajo principal que representa la naturaleza lineal de la moda y el trabajo secundario su carácter cíclico. Cada par estará conectado a través de forma, motivo, material, patrón, técnica o decoración. Por ejemplo, un vestido negro de seda de princesa faille de finales de la década de 1870 se combinará con una falda “bumster” de Alexander McQueen de 1995.

Todas las prendas primarias serán negras, para enfatizar sus siluetas en evolución, y la segunda será negra o blanca, para subrayar sus asociaciones que se refuerzan mutuamente. La exposición concluirá con una pequeña selección de prendas de 2020 que vincula el concepto de duración con debates sobre diversidad, inclusión, sostenibilidad, trazabilidad, transparencia, longevidad, colaboración y otros temas éticos relacionados con la próxima década de la moda. La exposición irá acompañada de un catálogo.
Todavía está por verse el diseño teatral del espacio de la galería, que se presentará este otoño.
“La moda está indeleblemente conectada con el tiempo. No solo refleja y representa el espíritu de los tiempos, sino que también cambia y se desarrolla con los tiempos, sirviendo como un reloj especialmente sensible y preciso. A través de una serie de cronologías, la exposición utilizará el concepto de duración para analizar los giros y vueltas temporales de la historia de la moda “. – Andrew Bolton, el curador de Wendy Yu a cargo del instituto de disfraces de Met Gala
Nike Sportswear brings advanced power-lacing to the Air Max platform with the introduction of the Nike Adapt Auto Max.
Channeling the DNA of Tinker Hatfield’s design aesthetic and sampling elements from Air Max 90 and Nike Mag, the Nike Adapt Auto Max takes a new silhouette through its increased profile and thicker midsole. The cassette design element of the Air Max 90 now highlights the Air Max unit, and the FitAdapt engine helps allow instant personalization and responsiveness.

Adapt Means Adapt
“Nike Adapt is our pinnacle offering where performance meets connection,” says Nike Global Digital Innovation Senior Director Brandon Burroughs. “For the first time we can deliver dynamic comfort and protection to the Air Max platform, powered by a frictionless digital utility that will enable the shoe to get smarter and do more over time. In coupling Nike Adapt with our iconic Air Max platform, we’re providing wearers with the future of fit and ultimate ride in one shoe.”

Because the FitAdapt technology platform was built to be “Future Ready,” Nike can continually grow and scale with wearers as the company expands the Nike Adapt line and regularly updates features. Progressing the existing Nike Adapt ecosystem that powers the Nike Adapt BB, Nike Adapt Huarache and Nike Adapt BB 2.0, the Nike Adapt App now gives wearers exclusive access to the latest features of Nike Adapt footwear — updates and improvements to the user experience since the launch of Adapt BB (and informed by users themselves) are highlighted below.
From 13 light customization options to fit preset and custom modes to shortcuts with Siri, the Nike Adapt Auto Max features build off of the Nike Adapt ecosystem to offer a unique and customized shoe.
Shortcuts via Voice: Wearers can instantly adjust their Nike Adapt Auto Max shoes using only voice with five customizable Siri Shortcuts. Coming this spring, Nike Adapt will support voice commands for Android users via Google Voice.
Control Your Fit from Your Wrist: Connect your Apple Watch to easily tighten or loosen the fit from your wrist.
Nike Adapt Auto Max Light Customization: Coming this spring, Nike Adapt Auto Max wearers will not only be able to illuminate their lace engines – choosing from 13 iconic Nike colors – but they’ll also be able to select pulsing or static options to complement their personal style. (They can also choose to turn off the light when it’s not needed.)
Nike Adapt Auto Max Fit Preset and Custom Modes: From the first time the shoes are put on, owners of the Adapt Auto Max will have two modes created by the app — one tuned for activity and the other for relaxing. Personalized fits with custom modes is also an option.
Nike Adapt Auto Max launches this spring in multiple colors and extends the Nike Adapt size range, bringing instant personalized fit to the smallest and largest shoe sizes. FitAdapt technology is available in various styles.
