“Matthieu Blazy is an extraordinarily talented individual, whom I am proud and excited to entrust with the creative helm of our luxury House,” shared Leo Rongone, the CEO of Bottega Veneta. “Bottega Veneta has always been equated with signature craftsmanship and distinctive creativity.

Harry Styles Fronts Dazed Magazine
Harry Styles is the cover star for the latest issue of Dazed, where he opens up about the launch of his new nail polish and beauty brand, Pleasing. The singer and actor wore a wide range of outfits for the shoot, including a Comme des Garcon FW21 dress, FW21 Prada, archive Jean Paul Gaultier, and Gucci.
Styles’ new brand, Pleasing, includes a range of nail polishes, a serum, eyeshadow, and lip oil. “It’s starting with nail polish because that was kind of the birth of what it was for,” Styles explained. “Me seeing a color on a flower or a wallpaper or something and thinking, ‘Oh, I wanna put that on my nails.’ It was a fun little project, but during the pandemic, and when we eventually named it Pleasing, it felt like it was so much more than nail polish.”

Models.com Removes Top Sexiest Models Ranking
Models.com is removing the Top Sexiest Models list from its overall rakings. In a statement shared on its website and Instagram, the Editor-in-Chief, Stephan Moskovic, explained that the idea of ‘sexy’ has transformed over the last few years, and it’s time to evolve from the traditional view of the category. “Sexy isn’t dead, it’s evolved,” he said. “In a world where what sexy encompasses is virtually limitless, more determined by individual viewpoints than markets, the culture the list was first created to track felt out of touch.”
