GUCCI Is back Welcome Sabato De Sarno
For the last, ya know I don't even remember when began not 'getting' the new Gucci. I mean bravo for bringing the logo, the stripes and the iconic bit loafer and riding boot back but beyond that none of it made sense to me. Clearly, I wasn't hip enough. But that's neither here nor there. Enter the debut show for Sabato De Sarno. Now Gucci once again makes sense to me and probably many other GenXers who wore all of the thrift store Gucci looking crap back in the 90s and vowed never to do that 'look' ever again, hence [...]
Match Made in Healing
Stella McCartney and Chopra Foundation have joined forces to spotlight the Healing Power of Horses – supporting the next generation’s mental health, inspired by her Winter 2023 ‘Horse Power’ campaign and Stella’s admiration for Deepak Chopra’s ongoing work in the mental health space. The collaboration was rooted in a chance meeting between Stella and Deepak Chopra last year. During this meeting she was immediately inspired to involve herself with The Chopra Foundation and the work it has been doing to support adolescent mental health it was there that the collaboration of Healing Power of Horses was born. The campaign is [...]
Call to Action
Image by Kimerlee Curyl CALL TO ACTION Call the Capitol Hill Switchboard at 202-225-3121 and ask to be connected to your Representative. You will likely be asked to leave a message. Simply say: “I'm a constituent, and I'm calling to ask you to please support messaging in line with 2022's H.R. 9154, the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Protection Act. This language included in the comprehensive bill would deliver meaningful change to how wild horses and burros are managed and promote real transparency and accountability for a federal program that has cost taxpayers billions.” There is a “pink horse” in the room [...]
Astonishment:Hermès in Camargue
Imagine a scene like this: Manadiers wrangle a herd of galloping Camargue horses through a marshland before you. The sound of their thundering hooves resonate in your soul. Should we add a sunset dropping onto the horizon for a poetic touch? Should the horses gallop off into it? Yes Please. This may sound like a brain session between writers making the next epic film but no, just Pierre Alexis Dumas, the artistic director for Hermès being Dumas. “Astonishment is a human quality: it’s the ability to wonder, to surprise ourselves, and to reinvent ourselves.” So said Pierre-Alexis Dumas, artistic director of [...]

GUCCI #OfCourseAHorse
For Gucci it's no surprise that their S/S 2020 campaign would be well "out there". Creative Director and Designer Alessandro Michele enlisted Director Yorgos Lanthimos of "The Lobster" knowing it would not only be a little strange but most likely involve animals? Lucky guess, I think not. We were super pleased to see our favorite spirit animal, the HORSE, gracing the pages of the campaign and the fashion film. Lanthimos creates a surreal world where fashion is clearly in the eye of the beholder and a pony is your partner in crime. Scroll through below and see Los Angeles in [...]

GIDDY UP
It's trending. Ponies, cowboys, boots and hats are making a comeback and we couldn't be happier. We imagine by next fall we will have gone full circle and there will be breeches once again parading down the runway. But for now, It's all about the RANCH. For 2020 Resort, Donatella Versace went West, referencing rodeo queens. Women she felt exuded the sexy spirit of adventure and a fearless femininity. The mythology of the American West was one of her brother Gianni’s enduring fascinations; in 1992 he made headlines with a collection featuring cowboys and cowgirls in studded black leather regalia, [...]
