GapStudio launches summer drop with Lila Moss campaign
Gap 's latest GapStudio drop arrives in-store this week with made-for-summer styles featuring lightweight denim being fronted in a campaign starring British model Lila Moss.
Designed by Zac Posen, EVP & Creative Director of Gap, there's a big spotlight on the brand's all-new draped denim, that we're told has 'a liquid-soft hand feel and breezy lightness that offers an easy, effortless flow'. It also has a 'sun-faded finish' for a ' lived-in look' and design details like let-down hems that reveal tonal contrast.
Denim isn't the only focus, of course, as the drop is also built around chambray and voile that add to the feeling of lightness.
Posen said: 'It's about the sensation of that first walk along the ocean in jeans. We wanted fabrics that are soft, light, breezy — capturing the feeling of summer, while honouring the heritage of Gap.'
Key pieces include denim baggy jeans, a draped denim playsuit, denim crop shirts and voile separates 'that blur the line between beach cover-up and streetwear', and crepe dresses in an 'abstract, smile-inducing print'. Plus there's a voile and draped denim shirt dress that the brand also calls a 'Gaptan' that 'offers ethereal lightness with an elevated wash and drape'.

Anderson brings Nina Christen on board as Dior shoe designer
British designer Jonathan Anderson continues to build his team at Dior and his latest appointment in Nina Christen who previously worked with him at Loewe. The highly respected footwear designer was the creative force behind behind the viral Loewe Balloon pumps so we could be in line for the kind of buzz around Dior's shoe designs similar to what was seen with its J'Adior slingbacks and Fusion sneakers. The designer also has her own Christen label and has worked for fashion brands including The Row, Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta. As mentioned, she was head of footwear design at Loewe with a style that perfectly suited Anderson's eccentric vision. But as the variety of labels she's worked on shows she's versatile and can adapt her style to a brand's particular profile. The key theme running throughout though is that her shoes stand out and frequently become cult classics — her much-copied Chelsea Boots during Hedi Slimane 's tenure at Saint Laurent are a prime example, as are Bottega Veneta's Puddle Boots and the less divisive Lido Sandals. Christen, who launched her own eponymous label late last year, stepped into her new Dior role this month, so we may not see any significant Christen-helmed designs until next year. There's been no official announcement of her appointment but on Instagram the Zurich-based designer said: 'Incredibly excited to support Jonathan Anderson in this new chapter at Dior.'

Amazon founder Bezos's Venice wedding triggers cascade of protests over wealth inequality
This weekend's star-studded Venice wedding of multi-billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez has galvanized activist groups that are protesting it as a sign of the growing disparity between the haves and have-nots as well as disregard of the city's residents. About a dozen Venetian organizations – including housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups – have united to protest the multi-day event under the banner 'No Space for Bezos', a play on words also referring to the bride's recent space flight. They have staged small-scale protests, unfurling anti-Bezos banners on iconic Venetian sites. They were joined this week by Greenpeace and the British group 'Everyone Hates Elon', which has smashed Teslas to protest Elon Musk, to unfurl a giant banner in St. Mark's Square protesting purported tax breaks for billionaires. 'IF YOU CAN RENT VENICE FOR YOUR WEDDING YOU CAN PAY MORE TAX,' read the banner, which featured a huge image of Bezos. Police quickly took it away. There has been no comment from Bezos' representatives on the protests. The local activists had planned a more organised protest for Saturday, aiming to obstruct access to canals with boats to prevent guests from reaching a wedding venue. Then they modified the protest to a march from the train station after claiming a victory, asserting that their pressure forced organisers to change the venue to the Arsenale, a more easily secured site beyond Venice's congested centre. 'It will be a strong, decisive protest, but peaceful,'' said Federica Toninello, an activist with the Social Housing Assembly network. 'We want it to be like a party, with music, to make clear what we want our Venice to look like." Among the 200 guests confirmed to be attending the wedding are Mick Jagger, Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry and Leonardo DiCaprio. Venice, renowned for its romantic canal vistas, hosts hundreds of weddings each year, not infrequently those of the rich and famous. Previous celebrity weddings, like that of George Clooney to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin in 2014, were embraced by the public. Hundreds turned out to wish the couple well at City Hall. 01:37 Bezos has a different political and business profile, said Tommaso Cacciari, a prominent figure in the movement that successfully pushed for a ban on cruise ships over 25,000 tons travelling through the Giudecca Canal in central Venice. 'Bezos is not a Hollywood actor,'' Cacciari said. 'He is an ultra-billionaire who sat next to Donald Trump during the inauguration, who contributed to his re-election and is contributing in a direct and heavy way to this new global obscurantism.'' Critics also cite Amazon's labor practices, ongoing tax disputes with European governments and Bezos' political associations as additional reasons for concern. Activists also argue that the Bezos wedding exemplifies broader failures in municipal governance, particularly the prioritisation of tourism over residents' needs. They cite measures such as the day-tripper tax – which critics argue reinforces Venice's image as a theme park – as ineffective. Chief among their concerns is the lack of investment in affordable housing and essential services. City officials have defended the wedding. Mayor Luigi Brugnaro called the event an honor for Venice, and the city denied the wedding would cause disruptions. "Venice once again reveals itself to be a global stage,'' Brugnaro told The Associated Press, adding he hoped to meet Bezos while he was in town. Meanwhile, a Venetian environmental research association, Corila, issued a statement saying Bezos' Earth Fund was supporting its work with an 'important donation'. Corila, which unites university scholars and Italy's main national research council in researching Venetian protection strategies, wouldn't say how much Bezos was donating but said contact began in April, well before the protests started.
