Launching Friday, Goldie Eau de Parfum, $78, is a woody-floral women’s fragrance that kicks off an eventual "wardrobe of Steve Madden fragrances; Parlux plans to inaugurate, said Parlux president Lori Singer.

Asked why he sought to reenter fragrance, Madden said, “with the brand exploding and the synergy of finding Parlux,” it was the perfect time to launch back into the category.

Named after Madden’s tween daughter, the bergamot-, pear- and jasmine-infused fragrance offers up a fresh category to Madden brand loyalists, while aiming to resonate with the next generation of young consumers.

Parlux which has seen splashy successes of late in fragrance with its gourmand Billie Eilish collection and Drake’s Better World Fragrance House is looking to turn Steve Madden’s fragrance play into a longer game.

The name means “Projected shadow of something or someone, the shape and contours of which stand out clearly against a background.”

2024 is a big year for Silhouette. As the Austria-based eyewear company celebrates its 60th anniversary. The family business continues to intrigue demanding consumers with its permanent commitment to excellence and sustainability through innovative, comfortable and quality lenses, but for the latter our boss at Canal-luxe was screaming not to be able to have them repaired.

Providing astronauts with reliable vision in space for nearly 25 years, these glasses were revolutionary in the eyewear industry with their near-lightweight, rimless design and endless customizable options.

A search for a successor to Dries Van Noten has quietly begun in recent months, marking the end of an era.

The acclaimed Belgian designer is stepping down in June after nearly four decades in fashion. During Paris Fashion Week, his last show will be his men’s show for the spring 2025 season.

A new designer will be announced in due time, Van Noten said in a statement to us “I have been preparing for this moment for a while, and I feel it’s time to leave room for a new generation of talents to bring their vision to the brand.”

Synonymous with ravishing colors, striking prints and dignified dressing tinged with exotic details, Van Noten forged a succession roadmap when he sold a majority stake in his Antwerp-based house to Puig in 2018. We wish him a happy retirement

The “Transparences” exhibition currently taking place at the Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Paris is recording record attendance, a funny coincidence. On Tuesday evening, Anthony Vaccarello, constructed almost his entire fall collection with flimsy silk hosiery fabrics, which he said were a nightmare to produce.

Saint Laurent via a sensual nude outfit, while exalting the master’s legacy of transgression, liberation and empowerment of women. The models’ heads were covered in bonnets and their wrists covered with large transparent bracelets, as well as jewelry on their backs.

Vaccarello said he had the idea for this pure extravagance before the YSL museum revealed the theme of its spring exhibition, sure!. But I think it’s good that there is this link with the foundation also to make it clear that here it is also a house of transparency. Really very, very transparent in fact.

‘Black is an amazing color. Women look more beautiful in black than in any other shade,’ said Giorgio Armani.

The inky shade appeared on a boxy jacket with an oversize pocket and a velvet mandarin collar; a floor-length coat dotted with blue petals; and a tailored suit covered in silvery crystals.

When Kim Shui graduated from Duke University with a degree in economics in 2011, she didn’t intend to become a fashion designer, and that sounds like a former plumber wanting to become a digestive tract surgeon. This is the meeting of the Bling dynasty and US-trash on Roosevelt Avenue, that of sex workers. Two muses, dressed in gold nightgowns, appeared and came to the center of the stage to show off fashion so Putinist.
