Britney Spears celebrates ‘minor victory’ in conservatorship battle
Following her silence-breaking court testimony just a few weeks ago, Britney Spears has seen a sliver of hope. Yesterday, in the second court hearing, hundreds of fans waited outside the courthouse as Spears demanded that charges be pressed against her father. While immediate charges were denied, the 39-year-old was granted the right to hire her own lawyer, former federal prosecutor Matther Rosengart, in the fight against her abusive father and the conservatorship that has ruled the last 13 years of her life. To celebrate the minor victory Spears took to Instagram to post a video of herself doing cartwheels, with a caption thanking her fans for their continued support. “Thank you to my fans who are supporting me,” she wrote. “You have no idea what it means to me [to] be supported by such awesome fans!!!!”
Fendi opens new flagship Madison Avenue boutique
If you’ve yet to stop by Fendi’s new 6,900-square-foot flagship sitting at the intersection of 57th and Madison Ave., you might just want to add it to your to-do list. Conceptualized by Kim Jones and Silvia Venturini, the two-story Art Deco-influenced boutique boasts open, clean design that give way to the main event: the label’s latest collections. To celebrate the store opening, the Haute Couture collection which debuted on a Paris runway just last week was on display in all its glory. Ensuring this boutique stands out are touches of modern luxury dotted throughout—think: marble walls, leather sofas, and mink benches. The decision to debut the new Manhattan store launch and the Haute Couture collection simultaneously marks a new era for the house— and the brand is welcoming the symbolism of optimism that a new collection, a new location, and a new designer represent. If you can’t make the trip, a 360-degree virtual tour of the flagship will be available on Fendi.com and will allow you to shop the boutique from wherever you may be!

It’s almost National Ice Cream Day! Here’s some lingerie to celebrate
Big Gay Ice Cream is the fashion industry’s busiest collaborator as of late. Following last month’s Pride-inspired collaboration with Michael Kors, the NYC-based confectionery company is teaming up with lingerie brand Fleur du Mal. For the tasty nationwide holiday, happening tomorrow July 18, the brands are teaming up for a limited-edition capsule of ice cream-themed lingerie and ready to wear. Sweet! To front the campaign, the duo tapped model, activist, and artist Richie Shazam, who can be seen sporting the capsule’s ice cream cone-embroidered bra and panty sets, silk panties, a t-shirt, and a denim trouser—of course, all offered in the colors of ice cream flavors. Fleur du Mal and Big Gay Ice Cream will be cruising around downtown tomorrow in their themed branded truck, at which ice cream and lingerie will be for the taking! A percentage of proceeds will benefit the Ali Forney Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating LGBTQ youth homelessness. You can shop the capsule in-store and online.

Holy cuteness! Thom Browne just debuted its latest childrenswear collection
Launching today, Thom Browne’s latest childrenswear campaign might just be the cutest thing we’ve ever seen. Shot in New York City, the campaign video, entitled …Another Day in the City… marks the second iteration of the Thom Browne childrenswear universe. Not only does the black-and-white, 1950s-reminiscent film showcase the collection, but it also humorously flips stereotypical age roles—with kids dressed in their nine-to-five uniforms and reading the morning paper alongside a cup of joe, followed by an elementary school drop-off of their parents. As for the collection, it’s all seersucker suits, skirts, and leather goods! Adorable is an understatement.

Ranging from $165 to $195, the collection is currently available for purchase on KENZO.com.
