1. Keke Palmer & Sergio Hudson Grace Essence’s Fashion Issue

In a post made to their Instagram account, Essence magazine revealed the cover of “The Fashion Issue” featuring Keke Palmer and Sergio Hudson.

Here are a few excerpts from the interview:

In her new season of motherhood, Palmer has especially appreciated how protected Sergio makes her feel. “During the whole process leading up to the Met Gala, I didn’t have to be insecure about my body—especially the fact that it was a brand-new body,” she says. “When you’re doing something in fashion, it can be quite overwhelming. The fashion world, the Met Gala, all of that can feel very elitist at times. And Sergio is not that. Even though he understands and knows fashion backwards and forwards, his point of view isn’t to shut women like me out.” Rather, Palmer notes, Hudson is all about making women like her feel beautiful, and like they absolutely deserve to own the stage.  

The comfort and connection between the two artists was so inspiring to both of them that they decided to keep that energy going: Hudson now serves as Palmer’s Creative Director. “I’ll tell you this, there has not been a day since the Met Gala that we have not talked,” says Hudson. “There has not been a look that she has stepped out in since Met Gala that my hands have not been on. It’s just a natural thing.”

3. Alexander McQueen’s Fall campaign stars Naomi Campbell, and more

With razor-sharp tailoring and opulent embellishment this good, it’s only fitting that Alexander McQueen would enlist a stellar ensemble to match for its new season campaign. Screen stars Elle Fanning and Eva Green are joined by models Naomi Campbell, Liu Wen, Elliot De Smedt Day, Karolina Spakowski, and Momo Ndiaye, as well as French singer-songwriter Yseult for the portrait-style imagery, which was captured by David Sims. As creative director Sarah Burton is wont to do with her garments, there’s a subversion to the runway pieces that are highlighted in the campaign, with stunning eveningwear slashed and distressed, a tough masculine edge added to womenswear, while menswear styling and silhouettes have a certain softness to them. Either way, consider this your blueprint for Fall outfit planning…now, where did we put our tie?

Michael Kors Fall campaign is here 

Anok Yai and Vittoria Ceretti treat Greenwich Village and Washington Square Park as their runway as they stroll together arm-in-arm for Michael Kors Fall ’23 campaign. The duo, who are omnipresent on the brand’s catwalk season after season, turn their attention to strutting around Kors’ own neighborhood in favorites from the collection, including floor-grazing coats, knee-high boots and short shorts, body-hugging knits, retro low-slung waist belts, fringed handbags, and shimmering jumpsuits. Yai and Ceretti were photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin in the imagery, which follows the theme of ‘Urban Bohemia.’ Indeed, it’s that ’70s-reminiscent New Yorker vibe that was evident throughout the Fall 2023 campaign—not least because Gloria Steinem was sitting front and center in the crowd, and had a bag named after her in the collection. Kors echoed: “For this collection, I was really thinking about the things that influenced me when I was coming of age in the ‘70s—the women who influenced me, the neighborhood that influenced me, and the combination of big city glamour and bohemia that I found in Greenwich Village at that time.” Catch it below:
