Gisou Names Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Global Brand Ambassador
Gisou has named Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as its first global brand ambassador. 'You really have to find the right match, and we have found that in Rosie,' said Negin Mirsalehi, founder of the premium honey-based hair and beauty brand. 'She's such a style icon with a very loyal community. Everything she does is on-point — her own branding, collaborations, the natural love for Gisou that she's always had. More from WWD EXCLUSIVE: Miu Miu Beauty Writes a New Chapter With Miutine, Fronted by Emma Corrin Avon International Is for Sale Odele and Susan Alexandra Are Making Bag Charms Now 'And, of course, her hair is really iconic, as well,' continued Mirsalehi. 'So, it was such a natural step for us.' Mirsalehi explained signing on a global ambassador also made sense now, as Gisou moves into a new product category — styling. Huntington-Whiteley, a model, actress and entrepreneur, will front Honey Milk 5-in-1 Styling Cream. 'Hair has always been a powerful form of self-expression for me, and this partnership feels like a natural fit,' said Huntington-Whiteley in a statement. 'I've long admired Gisou's commitment to quality, heritage and innovation.' Huntington-Whiteley has also had tie-ins with Gisou before, appearing at its London pop-up, for instance. 'We never work with people on [any level] without that really intrinsic love for the products and the brand,' said Mirsalehi. Honey Milk 5-in-1 Styling Cream is billed to give up to three days of 'style memory' and has a formula containing Mirsalehi honey, from the Mirsalehi Bee Garden, and hydrolyzed milk protein. It also contains hyaluronic acid. According to Gisou: 'The lightweight, milky formula provides flexible hold, intense hydration, frizz control, glazed shine and heat protection up to 230 degrees Centigrade/450 degrees Fahrenheit.' It claims the product results in hair becoming 10-times smoother, as well. Mirsalehi likens it to a milky facial toner, but for hair. 'It's really the skinification of hair,' said Maurits Stibbe, Gisou cofounder. Honey Milk 5-in-1 Styling Cream and its campaign will launch on Wednesday. The 150-ml. tube will retail for $29. 'This campaign celebrates the idea that hair is your best accessory — deeply personal and a true reflection of your identity,' said Huntington-Whiteley. 'I'm excited to share that message.' Mirsalehi said she listens to Gisou's community about its wants. 'More than ever, people are talking about lasting holds that they're missing,' she explained. 'I personally am known for not using hairspray.' Mirsalehi has six generations of beekeeping in her family. The Gisou brand was born from her passion for bees and honey. She said the brand is selling strongly at Sephora. It is set to launch in Space NK in London on Friday. 'Next to hair care, we have lip oils, which have been very successful,' said Stebbe, adding they're popular due to being honey-infused, their different colors and payoffs. 'But specifically, also because of the design of the bottle.' That has a curvy shape. 'There's more to come also in this space, next to hair in the lip space,' he teased. 'There's something very exciting coming.' Stibbe said the honey ingredient allows Gisou to play in different categories. 'We have permission from our customers to do that,' he explained. 'We see enormous opportunity to do more with care and lips.' The bestseller in Gisou's portfolio, which has about 20 products, is the Honey Infused Hair Oil, its first product to launch. The U.S. is the brand's biggest market, making up about 50 percent of Gisou's sales, followed by Europe, which generates approximately 35 percent. The Middle East and Australia come next.

30 Affordable Products That Give Off Quiet Luxury Vibes
A pair of retro oval sunglasses similar to the Celine pair that are just a *tad* bit too expensive to justify buying (okay, they're actually way out of my budget). But don't worry, these look just like them and they'll still protect you from UVA and UVB rays while making you look like a celeb. Or a pair of rounded rectangle sunglasses that'll even make Donatella Versace do a double-take and wonder where you got them. The eye-catching gold detailing on the sides and the included lens wipe have reviewers saying they are going to buy these again in different colors. A chunky knit chenille throw blanket to add a bit of texture to your living space. It doesn't shed, is machine washable, AND is 100% handmade. If you need me, I'll just be imagining I'm royalty in my own living room with this blanket. A faux leather bag featuring magnetic closures to make it extra wide to fit all of the day's necessities and more. Reviewers rave about how this looks just like the Polène Cyme bag. It's big enough to fit a water bottle, an iPad, and books, and even comes with a small zipper pouch for your smaller items that always get lost at the bottom of your purse. A wall-mounted towel rack to make it feel like you're living in a day spa that has perfectly rolled towels at your service. You can store large towels and washcloths and easily access them near the shower entrance without doing a dripping wet dance to the linen closet because you forgot to put out a towel. A pair of sling-back mules radiating "I only shop at Chanel" vibes, but really, you got these off of Amazon. (Yay!) The heel is enough to elevate you *and* your shoe game, but reviewers say these are still comfortable enough to make it through their day. A carafe with a matching glass meant to replace all those wasteful plastic water bottles and give a more stylish look to your hydration station (aka your bedside table). For less than $30, this investment is definitely worth it. An RFID-blocking travel wallet big enough to hold your passport, IDs, credit cards, money, plane ticket, and even a sim card! This wallet not only protects your important items, it's also elegant enough that you might just use this as your everyday wallet or use it as a clutch for a fancy dinner. A knit short-sleeve shirt that makes it seem like business casual is the only dress code you know. The V-neck, ribbed detailing, and collar elevate what would be just a normal short-sleeve T-shirt, and reviewers say they love how the material is higher quality than expected. Or a sleeveless knit sweater vest, which looks like it was borrowed out of Sofia Richie's (aka this generation's queen of quiet luxury) closet. The striped vest will keep you cool and comfortable, and can be dressed up or down depending on your luxurious or relaxed plans for the week. An oversized square ice cube tray perfect for dressing up an afternoon cocktail or just your everyday glass of water. These ice cubes melt more slowly than standard-sized ice cubes and will make you feel like an at-home bartender. You can even get fancy with it by putting some lemon slices or a sprig of mint to add some extra pizzazz to your refreshing drink. A beautiful tennis bracelet, giving a sparkling touch of sophistication for less than $20. This 14-karat gold-plated bracelet looks way more expensive than you paid for and has a durable clasp so you can wear it all day, every day. A pair of metallic kitchen scissors so fancy that they look like they should be cutting a big ribbon for a grand opening of a store. These dishwasher-safe shears are perfect for cutting chicken, red meat, vegetables, and even have additional features like a bottle opener and serrated edge. A pair of Steve Madden H strap sandals, perfect for a summer trip to Europe, or if you just want to switch out the plain thong flip flops for a more sophisticated look. You'll be sure to shock everyone when you tell them they aren't Hermès (gasp!). A pair of statement teardrop earrings for a fashion-forward twist on the classic hoop. Contrary to how chunky they look, reviewers say they are so lightweight and a comfortable staple to their earring collection. Plus, they come with two different backing options (great if you always somehow lose them around the house like me). An electric gooseneck kettle that will make you sing 🎶 here is my handle, here is my spout 🎶 with pride because of how neat this is. It has a sleek design and even includes an automatic shut-off so you can relax while you're enjoying a nice cup o' tea. Or a Smeg-like, but not Smeg-priced, electric kettle featuring a thermometer to get the water to the exact temperature for your extra hot pour-over coffee or your soothing cup of tea. And, this too has the automatic shut-off. A skinny leather belt that is really more for style than function, but oh, does it pull together an outfit. The gold horsebit buckle makes it easy to take on and off, and the adjustable sliding strap in the back is great for switching from a high-waisted to a low-waisted look. A reed diffuser just like the ones you see at the fancy hotel bathrooms that make you say, "Ooh, even the bathrooms smell nice!" Each scent comes with a different set of preserved flowers that makes this as aesthetic as it is functional. A vintage-inspired watch if your Apple Watch just isn't doing it for you anymore. This easily adds an extra ~oomph~ and sophistication to any outfit. And if you still rely on a digital clock to know what time it is, this can just be an elegant accessory. Or a gold Apple-compatible wristband to give you the best of both worlds in terms of style and keeping the cool features of your Apple watch. Plus, it comes with a tool for adjusting the links to your wrist size. It might not be a Rolex, but I gotta say this is pretty snazzy. A Kitsch satin pillowcase for giving you a splendid sleep experience that's good for your hair and skin, and just so silky smooth that you'll want to enjoy this luxury — quietly, in bed, and asleep. A pair of modern wall sconces that will literally light up your life and make your living space très chic. If you don't want to deal with connecting electrical wires, some reviewers have used remote-controlled lightbulbs for convenience. A thermal round brush for those who love a blowout look but don't love spending money on weekly trips to the hair salon. You're able to choose from two heat settings and can easily detach the brush head and store it in the included bag for when you're on the go. A textured MacBook case that fulfills your coastal grandma aesthetic, but also protects your already expensive laptop while making it look more elegant than other plastic covers. A set of velvet ottomans — a bougie spot for your booty or morning brew. When you flip the lid over, it reveals a beautiful wood tabletop! The gold bottom detailing and ribbed texture make these a perfect addition to the art deco-inspired home. A six-piece luggage set equipped with TSA locks, 360-degree wheels, and anti-scratch hardshell material. Even if you're only traveling to a cousin's wedding in Indiana, the coordinated carry-ons, checked bag, toiletry bag, and duffel will make it look like you're ready for a European getaway. A handmade ribbed candlestick so pretty that you probably won't even want to light it. Whether you use it as decor or actually end up lighting it, this candle needs no extra candle holder and gives a soft touch of elegance to your humble abode. A set of amber glass soap dispensers that look like Aesop dispensers... without you spending $43 for hand soap (we're in different tax brackets if you're lucky enough to buy Aesop soap). They even come with waterproof labels! We love a good eco-friendly AND economic-friendly home item. A matching bikini set Meredith Blake would've loved to wear with a big, wide-brimmed hat while tanning by the pool. The white and black detailing gives great contrast, and you can get each piece for less than $35!!! I didn't choose the fancy life. The fancy life chose me.

Crocs Inks Deal With NFL for Game-Day Ready Clogs This Football Season
As football season approaches, Crocs is getting in on the action. According to the comfort footwear brand, it has inked a new multi-year licensing agreement with the National Football League to release the first-ever NFL x Crocs collection. More from WWD EXCLUSIVE: Crocs and Hey Dude Brands Get Their Own Marketing Gurus EXCLUSIVE: Bath and Body Works Expands Its Disney Collaboration With New Villains Collection ColourPop Teams With DreamWorks to Launch a Swampy Shrek-themed Makeup Set Crocs noted that the new collection will center around the brand's bestselling Classic Clogs as well as Jibbitz charms that 'capture the passion and personality of NFL team fandom.' The initial drop of the NFL x Crocs collection will include footwear for 14 teams. Participating teams include the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, Las Vegas Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans and Denver Broncos – with the full 32-team lineup rolling out throughout the collaboration. Fans can also look for expanded designs, limited drops and expanded categories, including bags, as part of the agreement, Crocs added. Matias Infante, vice president of global marketing at Crocs, said in a statement that the company is 'excited' to join forces with the NFL. 'This collection goes far beyond product — it's about creating unforgettable experiences that bring our communities even closer to the game they love,' Infante said. 'The Crocs brand has made a significant impact on footwear culture with their shoes becoming synonymous with ease and comfort,' added Ryan Samuelson, vice president of consumer products at the NFL. 'Collaborating with Crocs allows us to give fans expanded gameday options that will keep them stylishly comfortable for gameday and every day.' The NFL x Crocs Collection will be available during the 2025 NFL season on Dick's Sporting Goods, Fanatics and select international retailers. This news comes just a few days after Millie Bobby Brown entered the Crocs universe. The actress is now the face of its all-new Cozy campaign, marking the first time the brand is working with the 'Stranger Things' star. Brown, who says she spent her entire childhood wearing Crocs, will also help debut the new Unfurgettable clog — a soft, faux fur silhouette that blends the Classic clog with cozywear. 'I was really excited [to partner with Crocs]. I feel like, just from a consumer standpoint, I am a customer at Crocs,' Brown told FN in an interview last week. 'So getting that email was awesome because I really, truly feel connected with the brand. I grew up [in them], my whole childhood I was in Crocs. My siblings and I, definitely growing up on a farm, wore Crocs a lot.'
