“Virgil was a creative pioneer who had a profound impact on the global fashion industry and creative community. The acquisition of Off-White provides Bluestar Alliance with a unique opportunity to honor and build on Virgil Abloh’s enduring legacy,” said Joey Gabbay, CEO of Bluestar Alliance WWD.

“The acquisition of Off-White and the opportunity to provide strategic investment and leverage our global network of resources will enable us to continue the cultural and creative momentum that Virgil started and that Bluestar Alliance is committed to continuing,” Gabbay noted in its statement.

Viola Davis in Roland Mouret’s creation

Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis wore a black and white ensemble to the 2024 HollyRod Foundation DesignCares Gala in Los Angeles. This look was different from many others we see on the red carpet, as Davis opted for a jumpsuit designed by Roland Mouret and styled by Elizabeth Stewart. The halter neckline accentuated her cleavage and toned arms, while the waist was given a slimming shape by white panels running along the sides. Davis also wore a single gold bracelet as an accessory and black pointy-toe shoes to complete her look.

He also has his own brand, Plus 44, so this collection best showcases his design skills.

Levi’s and Beyoncé announced a new campaign titled “Cowboy Carter,” based on the singer’s latest chart-topping album, which featured the song “Levi’s Jeans.” The new campaign, directed by Melina Matsoukas and styled by Shiona Turini, takes cues from older Levi’s ads, such as a 1985 ad in which the Grammy winner takes off her jeans and throws them in the wash, titled “Launderette.” The new exclusive campaign is being called “completely organic,” Levi’s CEO Michelle Gass said in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
