If you don’t know the name Isan Elba quite yet, you will come Sunday night’s Golden Globe Awards. Elba, 17, follows in the footsteps of the likes of Laura Dern and Dakota Johnson as this year’s HFPA Golden Globe Ambassador. Like the aforementioned stars, Elba too has a famous parent in Idris Elba (who secretly dropped her name into the running for the tony gig). “It’s such an honor to be in that line of people,” she said Thursday afternoon at The Beverly Hilton hotel for a luncheon in her honor. “They have all done such great things in the entertainment industry. It just hopefully sets the mood for what’s to come in the future for me.” The gathering included a discussion to address Elba’s cause of choice as an ambassador: mental health and the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation, which garnered a $50,000 donation from the HFPA. As for future plans, Elba has had her eyes set on a life behind the scenes in roles like director, screenwriter or cinematographer, but her freshly minted role as ambassador for the 76th Globes ceremony reeled her back to her first love, acting. “[My dad] was a little concerned,” she said. “But he’s always behind me with whatever I do. I guess you’d say it’s a demanding career. It’s all worth it, but you have to sacrifice.” Follow @WWD for Golden Globe coverage all weekend long. . . . . . . #wwdeye #isanelba #idriselba #goldenglobes

Jess Connelly, a musician from the Philippines who is gaining attention with American audiences, has lived an entire past life as a performer. She started out trying to be what’s called an artista — a Filipino film star who sings, dances and does all-around performance in the public eye. They tend to have huge fan bases: millions of followers on Instagram and Twitter, where they craft carefully curated portrayals of their lives through pictures and videos, writes @maxinesleep But now, Connelly is focused totally on her music as a popular artist in the Philippines’ bustling underground music scene. The clandestine musicians in the country essentially go the opposite way of fame, compared with artistas; they get their hands dirty, work their way up by sticking to their musical work and performing at Manila clubs like Route 196. Twenty-five years ago, the Philippines music scene wasn’t like this, Connelly says. People wouldn’t circumvent the norm, nor would they even think of writing a song in English and releasing it. But these days, it’s done often — and young people in the Philippines are now hungry for something different, after seeing what artists in the Western world are up to. Connelly is steadily making her way into American ears — she released her “JCon” mixtape in August, and opened for Chance the Rapper in Manila in September. She spent the subsequent months performing with Noodles, who DJs for R&B artist Kehlani. Still traveling and doing shows, Connelly — on two hours of sleep — drove to New York from her Tuesday night performance at Songbyrd in Washington, D.C. On Wednesday, she was scheduled to play at Mercury Lounge in the Lower East Side. “I know that my music can reach further,” she says. “That was always a goal. How it started is definitely different compared to the final product.” Read more on WWD.com 📸: @lexieblacklock #wwdeye #jessconnelly

“It’s completely unexpected,” said actor Richard Madden of his Golden Globe nomination for his leading role in the runaway hit limited series Bodyguard. “We did a little TV show in the U.K. for BBC, which [took] a lot of people a lot of effort and commitment. And then suddenly it did very well here, and then transferred really well to America. And that’s not something we expected at all, never mind the Golden Globes attention.” The role was a bit of a departure from many of his past roles, namely that of Robb Stark on Game of Thrones, he told @ktauer. “I look back at my career so far and I’m like, ‘OK, I’ve played many incarnations of Romeo in different ways, shapes and forms,'” Madden says. “And I’ve played the sons a lot, kings and princes and that kind of thing. And that’s been brilliant, but I’m very much going to make a conscious effort now to — I’ve done those roles. I’ve literally played Romeo twice,” he adds. “I’ve gone from ‘Bodyguard’ being what it is to I’m singing and dancing in ‘Rocketman.’ I’m happy to play around and do different things, but I’m happy to not be the young prince anymore.” 📸: @bradtorchia . . . . . #wwdeye #richardmadden #bodyguard #goldenglobes

From the success of native brands like Ganni and Sophie Bille Brahe, to those that move beyond the fashion sphere, Copenhagen has become an epicenter of creativity. The Danish capital, now flooded with new fashion labels, cafés, boutiques, galleries, chefs and artists, has become one of the top chic destinations for Millennials. “The components have always been there — we’ve had the framework of a very balanced society with a lot of confident and content people,” said Nicolaj Reffstrup, cofounder of Ganni. "The food scene has played a major role for us with Noma and its spin-offs. Then we had a couple of TV series, some great actors — it’s not that just one lightbulb went off. A lot of things coming together at the same time has drawn a lot of attention to Copenhagen.” Read @mistywhitesidell ‘s feature on Copenhagen’s watershed moment on WWD.com.
