Marc Jacobs announces New York City runway show
Sound the klaxons! Marc Jacobs has announced his return to the (somewhat) traditional NYFW calendar, with a show stated to take place on February 2, ahead of the official kickoff on February 10. As per sources, the NYC-based designer will once again show at the Park Avenue Armory, a favorite venue of the brand, with a Spring Summer ’23 collection that will be available to shop exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman in June. Jacobs’ last physical show was shown to an intimate audience in June 2022 at the New York Public Library. And who could forget, last September he joined forces with Fendi during NYFW for a co-branded collection of 10 looks which was shown on a supermodel-heavy cast in an event hosted to celebrate the anniversary of the Baguette bag.

Shania Twain covers InStyle
Canadian chart topper Shania Twain is certainly back in the spotlight ahead of upcoming album, out February 3. The iconic performer (two words: leopard print) is gracing the cover of a special digital issue of InStyle. The interview is a real treat for music fans, with Twain getting down to the brass and tacks of her songwriting, the new album, meaning in lyrics, and her voice post-surgery. “I’ll just find other people to sing my songs,” she says when pressed about the possibility of one day losing her voice alltogether. “That’s the way I look at it. I’ll just find other voices that are even better than mine,” she says. “I will be sad to lose that expression, but I know I’ve done everything I can, so it won’t devastate me in that sense. I know that I persevered.” As for finding her fashion footing and her leaning towards more avant garde pieces, she says: “I love it. I’m so up for it. I’m so ready for it. I’m way more fearless than I would’ve been. Years ago, I would’ve been more conscientious about, ‘Is this too over-the-top?’ I’m more adventurous now and I’m just excited about what is new and what I can experiment with. I just love fashion for that. Just when you think there’s nothing left to be created, somebody creates something new. I’m so inspired by that.” …Us too!

Priyanka Chopra Jonas lands a British Vogue cover
Bollywood, beauty pageants, and the business world have prepared Priyanka Chopra Jonas for her toughest role to date: being a mom to daughter Malti Marie. Sitting down with British Vogue, the actress and entrepreneur, 40, opens up about being a first-time mom, and the sometimes hurtful public reaction to her surrogacy. “I had medical complications…this was a necessary step, and I’m so grateful I was in a position where I could do this. Our surrogate was so generous, kind, lovely and funny, and she took care of this precious gift for us for six months.” She adds: “I’ve developed a tough hide when people talk about me,” she says. “But it’s so painful when they talk about my daughter. I’m like, ‘Keep her out of it.’ I know what it felt like to hold her little hands when they were trying to find her veins. So no, she’s not going to be gossip. I’ve been really protective of this chapter of my life with my daughter. Because it’s not about my life only. It’s hers too.” To read the full piece, visit here.
