Sure, there’s still plenty of size 0 Eastern Europeans on the runway, but it’s already been a breakout season for models of color, transgender models, and catwalkers over the age of 40. Vivienne Westwood decided to put a point on the last trend by deciding to walk her own show. Yes, the 75-year-old grande dame of British fashion made her runway debut for the line that bears her name, which now happens to be designed by her partner Andreas Kronthaler. “He asked me to, so I said yes immediately,” Westwood told Vogue. | | | | | | | There’s no real blueprint anymore for how to release an album. Beyoncé releases them without notice. Frank Ocean drops them when he’s damn well pleased and ready. Now, Future, the rapper and Ciara ex, has released two albums in two weeks and broke a Billboard charts record in the process. He’s the first solo artist ever to have two different albums top the charts in consecutive weeks. His sixth studio album Hndrxx will take the top spot this week with approximately 48,000 albums solds exactly one week after his eponymous fifth album Future took the top spot with around 60,000 albums sold. The last artist to achieve this feat was Simon & Garfunkel way back in 1968 (of course, The Beatles also achieved the milestone previously as well, but Future is the first solo album). The impressive chart week for Hndrxx also saw Future hold on to the number two spot making the rapper the first artist to hold the first and second spots on the chart since 2016, when Prince held them shortly after he passed. | | | | Good Christian Family Entertainment | To perhaps little surprise, Logan, the latest entry in the X-Men franchise and maybe (or maybe not) Hugh Jackman’s last entry in the superhero genre, was the biggest opening weekend of the young year at the back office. The film took in a giant $85.3 million in its theater bow thanks to both fan buzz and mostly rave reviews. Meanwhile, woke horror standout Get Out held its own in it second weekend at number two with a strong $26 million take. The Shack, a Christian thriller starring Octavia Spencer, took third place with about $15 million. Fine showing all things considered, but clearly movie theaters this weekend belonged to a certain three-clawed mutant. | | | | | | | | | | | | Fashion illustrator Kyra Kendall doodles Elsa Hosk’s look from the Balmain show. | | | | | | | | Tyler The Creator, 26 (Kylie Jenner Associate) Alaska Thunderf--k, 32 (‘Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii’ Originator) Shaquille O’Neal, 45 (Human Meme) Connie Britton, 50 (Who We Have To Thank/Blame For American Horror Story) | | | | | | | |
