To just about no one’s surprise, Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson roared its way to complete dominance at the box office this weekend to the tune of $170 million domestically. Not only is that the highest March opening of all time, and the 7th highest American opening of all time, but in just a few days Beast is now the second highest grossing film of all 2017 (it’s $14 million shy of Logan’s three-week take). It’s also the highest opening weekend since Captain America: Civil War. The flick’s biggest business was with millennial-aged women, and, as it turns out, with the right franchise, they’ll show up to the cinemas in as big of numbers as the boys. Only one wide release film even dared to open the same weekend, low-budget horror movie The Belko Experiment and it netted just $4.1 million for its trouble. | | |  | | | |  | | Drake dropped his long anticipated “playlist” More Life over the weekend on all major streaming services, which finally answered the question what exactly Drake meant by “playlist” and why he didn’t just call it a mixtape or album. Turns out the new nomenclature might be apt and not just Drake being extra. While the rapper is all over the playlist, he often takes a backseat to his featured guests and producers. It’s also not a collection with a single stylistic unifier, but rather a tour of world-spanning influences (with particular attention paid to underground English dance music, something Drake previously borrowed to great success with “One Dance”). Basically, think of it as Drake wanted to make the perfect playlist for spring and summer weekend afternoons but rather than hunting Spotify for the perfect track selections he just decided to start from scratch. (Oh, in case, you’re wondering, there are at least two references to his brief dalliance with Jennifer Lopez, because, of course). | | | | | | Checking in with Riccardo Tisci | | | | | After 12 years at the helm of Givenchy, Riccardo Tisci certainly seems to be enjoying his time off, though he still has some work obligations, like promoting a new sneaker he made with Nike. At an event in Rome to celebrate the launch of his NikeLab Air Max 97 Mid x RT, Tisci told WWD that he’s been savoring his break, traveling to various parts of the world, and spending time with his family and 88-year-old mother. He’s also spending time thinking about the future of fashion. “I feel a growing desire for classicism…I think we are going to see a rebirth in fashion,” he told the paper. “I think that what fashion needs now is identity and honesty, which I think got lost in the last years. I think there will be a return to that honest fashion of the Nineties.” Tisci, an Italian, also thinks that Italian fashion is about to have a big comeback, and says he’ll announce his next move sometime over the summer. Hmm, if only there was Italian brand that was synonymous with fashion of the ‘90s where Tisci could resurface. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fashion’s favorite new meme account has a knack for juxtaposing high fashion’s more outré moments against their more mundane inspirations. | | | | | | | | | | Ruby Rose, 31 (Nonbinary Bae) Bianca Lawson, 38 (Perennial TV Teen and Beyoncé’s Step Sister) Kathy Ireland, 54 (Sock Mogul) Spike Lee, 60 (President of the Knicks Fan Club) | | | | | | | | |
