Plan on seeing @usmovie this weekend? The new Jordan Peele thriller, which has a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes, will definitely leave you thinking — just like it did with its star Winston Duke. “I think that’s where this movie lives: It’s warping the mundane and warping normality, and that’s what I felt when I was watching the movie. I walked outside and colors felt different; I looked up and the sky felt a little green,” Duke told WWD’s @ktauer, describing his reaction to his first screening of the completed movie. “This film really does a great job of interrogating our culture and interrogating the mundane. Flipping it. So your reflection, your look-alike, what would that be for you? How do you warp that, how do you turn that into something disturbing and in many ways grotesque. And once you hold those two images beside each other, you have to choose which is the grotesque image and which feels right. I think it puts the audience in a place of making really deep decisions.” 📷: @jgreenery Styled by @thealexbadia . . . . . #wwdeye #winstonduke #usmovie

Is L.A. the future of the American runway? The signs that the industry could finally consider having an organized fashion week or series of runway events in Los Angeles are there. Hollywood hero Tom Ford being named chairman of the CFDA, Rodarte’s recent flower-filled L.A. runway spectacular, and the flagging momentum of New York Fashion Week have some industry insiders looking to the West Coast for the future. The idea is especially compelling now that the next Oscars date — Feb. 9, 2020 — will overlap with New York Fashion Week’s fall 2020 season, and sponsorship opportunities for shows in New York are becoming harder to find. “The talent is here,” said Elyse Walker, the longtime L.A. retailer with luxury multilabel boutiques in the Pacific Palisades and Newport Beach, and the fashion director of online site Fwrd by Elyse Walker. “And everyone wants to be in L.A. or come to L.A. I think, if you build it they will come.” More on WWD.com Report: @boothmoore 📷: @chelsealaurenla . . . . . . . #wwdnews #lafashion #rodarte

Oversized frames, geometric shapes and tinted lenses can only mean one thing when it comes to sunglasses: the ‘70s are back. This summer, expect to see bigger and bolder sunglass styles that can’t help but remind us of the iconic Donna Summer. Love to love you, baby. 🎶 🕶 🎶 📷: @adrienneraquel Styled by @thealexbadia . . . . . . #wwdfashion #sunglasses #summerfashiontrends
