Maison Valentino and Koreen celebrate breaking the ice with new card game

NYC socialites and friends of the maison alike gathered last night at Valentino’s Soho boutique—which was stylishly transformed with conversation-starting cues and prompts written in red lipstick—to celebrate the launch of Maison Valentino x We’re Not Really Strangers (WNRS), a limited-edition card game that encourages engaging in purposeful dialogue. Created by L.A.-based model, artist, and seasoned photojournalist Koreen, the platform empowers meaningful connection with those around you through (sometimes silly) questions and fill-in-the-blank prompts. Among those in attendance—breaking the ice—were Gonnie, Nicky Hilton, Deon Hinton, Jacquelyn Jablonski, JonBoy, Tina Leung, Brenn Lorenzo, Jules Moriah, Whitney Peak, and Richie Shazam, among others. And, chances are, if they didn’t know one another before the event, they definitely did afterwards. Get your deck exclusively at the SoHo boutique now.

Celeb-approved stylist Maeve Reilly styles Josephine Skriver in latest Ksubi campaign 

For the launch of its flagship fit jean, cult-favorite brand Ksubi has tapped supermodel Josephine Skriver and stylist Maeve Reilly for a series of “styling challenges.” The brand’s latest denim hit, dubbed “The Brooklyn,” can be seen modeled by Skriver in the series of shots, all of which were styled by Hailey Bieber’s right-hand woman herself. For the challenge, the duo was tasked with jazzing up The Brooklyn for any occasion—from a movie premiere to sitting courtside at an NBA game—in five minutes. By the looks of Reilly’s off-duty styling expertise mixed with Skriver’s natural ability to make anything look good, there’s no question they passed the test. Check it out below!

Missoni is getting (even more) colorful!

Missoni has opted for the colorful route with its Fall 2021 campaign—aptly dubbed “Life in Colours.” The campaign name also doubles as the brand’s new motto, which symbolizes its rejuvenation strategies under chief executive officer Livio Proli. As for rebranding, Proli believes the company has the duty to both embrace the brand’s signature aesthetic while also translating it into something more modern and attractive to a younger crowd. As expected, the campaign, shot by Sofia Sanchez and Mauro Mongiello, features vibrant imagery splashed with color—from chevron-knitted boardwalk pants to vertically striped maxis. The youthful and diverse model cast can be found posed in urban settings—in brightly-hued everyday outfits, doing everyday things. Life in colour doesn’t look half bad!
