Our new Paris showroom has officially opened its doors and it’s the pink paradise you’d expect. Along with the opening, we were also celebrating our girl Sananas’ brand new edit with PLT. Here’s your exclusive sneak peak into our brand new showroom and launch party… As usual, the PLT unicorn takes front and centre. There’s also a mini Eiffel Tower, arcade games and all of our freshest new styles on display. Our girl DJ Ayane was bringing the tunes all night long. We also had an MUA offering a free mini glam session to all our guests, including all the essentials - PLT lashes, sequin dress bronzer, lip gloss and PLT’s own self tan range. Our guests arrived dressed to impress and we had the pleasure of welcoming the Guess Twins, Christina Milian, our doll Sananas and loads of our fave influencers. We pulled out all the stops out with our food and drinks menu cos we don’t do things by half y’know. We had burgers (pink ofc), pink brioche, cup cakes, macaroons, eclairs and pink popcorn. To drink, we served up three signature cocktails - Pink Punch, Paris Mon Amour, and Kamani Airline. Hope you enjoyed your sneak peak into our Paris launch party. Don’t forget to check back for all the latest goss and the 411 on everything fashion, beauty and lifestyle.

Alexander McQueen is calling all artists to participate in the brand’s weekly series, McQueen Creators. Each week on its Instagram, the fashion house announces a different creative challenge and invites artists of all levels to submit their artwork. For this week’s challenge, McQueen is inviting followers to experiment with embroidery, taking inspiration from the bee dresses in the spring/summer 2013 RTW collection. "First and foremost was the idea of pollination and the work that bees do. This was a collection about the natural world, the importance of it, the significance of it. The work that bees do is central to nature’s ability to endlessly restore, recharge, and reinvent itself," said Sarah Burton, creative director for the brand. Previous prompts have included drawing roses, creating 3-D flowers, and sketching silhouettes. Along with each prompt comes open-ended guidelines which allow the use of virtually any object to recreate the look. McQueenCreators before Tuesday, May 5. You can also watch a member from the embroidery team show how the bees from the spring/summer 2013 dresses were created on the brand’s YouTube channel starting Thursday, April 30 at 1 p.m.
Like so many brands, Gucci sprang into action as the coronavirus pandemic ravaged both Italy and the fashion industry, contributing a total of 2 million euros across two different crowd-fundraising campaigns. Locally, the Italian house will donate 1 million euros to the National Civil Protection Department in Italy. The other 1 million will go to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund in support of the World Health Organization as part of a larger matching campaign with Facebook. In late March, Gucci also dedicated its social-media feeds, which have 70 million followers across all platforms, to public service announcements from the WHO. Since then, Gucci has continued its efforts, inviting the many creatives who make up its community (all of whom are now hopefully safe at home) to share and make original work for social media. Starting April 10, "friends of the house," including Lou Doillon, Gia Coppola, Elton John, Jane Fonda, Elle Fanning, Harmony Korine, and most recently, the British environmentalist David Mayer de Rothschild began to publish sketches, photographs, and musical performances across the brand’s channels. The goal was to encourage creativity and also donations to the Solidarity Response Fund for the WHO via a direct link on the brand’s Instagram Stories. The total amount will be matched by Facebook. Tomorrow, the photographer Derek Ridgers will share images from his archive of "what life was like before," specifically of young people going out, drinking, dancing, hooking up, and getting into trouble. "Perhaps when this is COVID-19 stuff is finally over, we’ll all have learnt to appreciate life’s small pleasures a great deal more," he said.
