Karlie Kloss will return for next Project Runway season
Klossy is getting back in the judge’s chair for Project Runway. Though this time in a less permanent role. The new mom will not be returning to the Bravo competition show’s 19th season as a full-time host, though she will be making guest appearances, according to People. The announcement comes as Kloss expands her Kode with Klossy initiative, launches an Adidas collection, and leads the new direction of W Magazine—not to mention her new role as a full-time mom! However, it has been confirmed that Christian Siriano, Nina Garcia, Brandon Maxwell, and Elaine Welteroth will be returning in permanent roles for the next season of the reality show, which will begin filming in NYC this spring.

Ben Sherman honors brand’s heritage with Spring 2021 campaign
British menswear brand Ben Sherman is revamping its signature shirting with an ode to the brand’s 1970’s TV commercials. Back in the day, the brand’s “It’s a Ben Sherman!” catchphrase was a common and witty response for those wondering who others’ shirts were by. Fifty years later, the similarly titled Spring 2021 campaign showcases Ben Sherman’s consistency for designing a variety of modern, functional clothing. The new ads spotlight button downs in preppy, floral, and gingham prints, as well as a range of staple tonal colors—all perfect for fresh spring and summer outfits.

Billie Eilish named “Most influential fashion icon” by Jewellery Box
Singer Billie Eilish is known internationally for her trend-based and—dare we say it?—defiant style, courtesy of stylist Samantha Burkhart. As such, British website Jewellery Box has released its official 2021 ranking of fashion’s most influential stars—and Eilish tops the list, surpassing the likes of Kim Kardashian-West, Kylie Jenner, and Blake Lively. The top spot is determined based on annual Google search hits, as well as the star’s engagement rates on Instagram compared to her follower count (Out of 76.2 million followers, 7% of Eilish’s fans consistently engaged with her posts).
