Liu Wen stars in the new Gucci campaign for its Bamboo 1947 bag

For a classic fashion item, an enduring supermodel. Runway mainstay Liu Wen is fronting the new campaign for the Gucci 1947 Bamboo—an instantly recognizable house staple detail that dates all the way back to 1947. Lensed by David Sims, Wen is seen in a series of still and video that show the bag as a symbolic keeper of secrets and a treasure chest of sentiments…what more could we ask from our arm candy. The Gucci Bamboo 1947, as well as its predecessors, are set to go on display at a new exhibit called Gucci Cosmos debuting in Shanghai tomorrow.

Balmain will support IN THE BLK’s mentorship program

Today, Balmain proudly announced the luxury brand’s support of Victor Glemaud’s non-profit IN THE BLK’s initiatives. Members of different Balmain teams will be working directly with Dayanne Danier, a Haitian-American designer and founder of the accessories brand Bien Abye and IN THE BLK member, in terms of both design and business development. Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing said: “I am extremely happy that Balmain will be supporting IN THE BLK and mentoring Ms. Danier. Of course, we all know that the fashion industry has been embarrassingly slow in pushing for the needed changes that will help create a fashion future that better reflects the beautifully diverse world where we all live. The work of the dedicated professionals behind IN THE BLK is helping us to start making up for lost time and the association’s mentorship program is a smart way to kick-start the development of tomorrow’s Black design and business leaders.” Founded in 2020 by Victor Glemaud, IN THE BLK is a collective of over 30 influential Black fashion creatives working together to shape the future of fashion by promoting equitable growth for Black-owned brands. In its first two years, IN THE BLK supported six emerging designers to showcase their work at Paris and NY fashion weeks in partnership with major sponsors including UPS, IMG/Endeavor, and Instagram.
