Serena Williams & Daughter in Stuart Weitzman Campaign

Serena Williams and her daughter, Olympia, are the faces of Stuart Weitzman’s latest Spring 2021 campaign. This is the first shoot that features the pair together, wearing black catsuits and leopard print shoes. They also wore matching white turtleneck dresses with chunky boots.

 

Serena Williams said, “it’s a special campaign. I just felt like it was an opportunity because Olympia and I have been spending so much time together. Olympia is trying on my shoes all the time; it’s so fun — she loves to try them on, and we play in them. I have a red pair of Stuart Weitzman shoes that she loves, and there is the new Lyla style with a toe ring in leopard print that’s one of her favorites,” she said.

Coperni Debuted First Drive-In Fashion Show

Coperni has staged a drive-in fashion show for Paris Fashion Week. The concept aims to avoid the 6 pm curfew currently in place throughout the city and is thought to be the first of its kind. Guests were selected and driven to the AccorHotels Arena in a fleet of 36 Citroën DS cars, where the models walked down the road. The attendees were treated with Haribo candy, pink Ruinart Champagne, and Champagne-flavored e-cigarettes.
