While the design talent of most stores toil in near-obscurity (quick: name the creative director of Banana Republic? Most probably can’t), Lyons became a celebrity and style star in her own right and helped take the preppy brand to new levels. In fact, she helped the brand become one of the go-to wardrobe favorites of none other than Michelle Obama. Alas, some of the magic has rubbed off both for fashionistas and the boardrooms. To be fair, J. Crew’s sales slumps also affect most of its closest competitors, but the time had come for the brand to try something new. So, Lyons is out, after a 26-year career. In her place enters new chief design officer Somsack Sikhounmuong, who had switched to J. Crew in 2015 after finding success at the brand’s more casual little sister Madewell. Lyons says she has projects in the works, but hasn’t announced anything as of yet, though, we do expect her to continue looking fabulous no matter what she tries next. | | | | | | | | | Big Little Lies is over with only faint hope for a sequel, and Girls isn’t long for this world. Yet, fear not, the female-powered TV revolution isn’t ending anytime soon. Right on cue, two new trailers for two news series that could appeal to fans of the previous two shows dropped yesterday. Girlboss, which seems engineered by Netflix to fill the niche soon to be vacated by Girls, is a fictionalized version of the story of Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso as she climbs from eBay vintage seller to e-commerce magnate. Britt Robertson plays the titular Girlboss, and RuPaul pops up as her neighbor. TNT’s Claws meanwhile shares a similar “women coming together and doing it for themsleves” vibe as Lies, but is just about the inverse in every other way. For one thing, it switches out the tony boathouse cafes of California for the strip malls of Gulfcoast Florida. For another, the cast, lead by Emmy-nominee Niecy Nash, is quite a bit more diverse. There’s also an alligator involved, and the whole thing is set among the world of money laundering and nail salons. | | | | | | Staying In, Just Being Religious | Bella Hadid could be quite the wildchild if she wanted. She is one of the world’s top models (even if her mother made her wait until she was 18 to pursue the career), but Hadid would rather enjoy a quiet night in. "You feel really overexposed and you don't want to see anybody,” she told Porter magazine of her relatively new fame. “I just want to be in my apartment alone and kind of retreat and be centered again." She also added that she’s quite a bit more shy and more sensitive than her sister Gigi, though, she wasn’t shy about one thing in the interview: her religious faith. The model, who was seen in the street of New York protesting Donald Trump’s travel ban, points out that her Palestinian father was originally a refuge when he first came to America and remained religious. "I am proud to be a Muslim,” she added, in case their was any confusion. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mario Testino is one of the world’s most famed fashion photographers, but he’s also quite handy at photographing people in no fashionable outifts, at all. This June the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin will showcase some of Testino’s racier work. The Instagram snap is a sneak peek of what’s in store. | | | | | | | | | | Austin Mahone, 21 (Dolce & Gabbana’s Favorite Singing Boy) Natasha Lyone, 38 (Our Favorite Inmate) Robert Downey Jr., 52 (Does Whatever An Iron Man Can)
