André Leon Talley’s new memoir has achieved bestseller status.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ The author’s new memoir has landed on the @nytimes nonfiction hardcover bestseller list in about a week’s time.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ "The Chiffon Trenches” created a firestorm of publicity in recent weeks, primarily due to Talley’s critique of his former boss, Vogue’s Anna Wintour. The book centers on his storied career, but it also addresses other aspects of his life like sexual abuse, weight struggles and ageism. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Talley’s recent interviews with Gayle King on “CBS This Morning” and Tamron Hall on her eponymous talk show surely helped to sell a few books. But Talley said he was still surprised to make the bestseller list in seven days.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ “Thrilled but kind of stunned by the whole thing,” Talley said, adding the accolade has been “somewhat distilled by this whole horror that has happened in Minneapolis [referring to the death of George Floyd and recent riots]. Not just that horror but the horror of Eric Garner, I can’t breathe, Black Lives Matter…I am very concerned with this situation where they are burning down buildings and taking to the streets with COVID-19. A looter was shot dead last night.”⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Here is a photo of Talley at the CFDA Awards Dinner in 1991 from the WWD Archives. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Report: Rosemary Feitelberg⁣⁣⁣⁣ 📸: Jim Lorelli ⁣ ⁣ —⁣ #wwdfashion⁣ #andreleontalley ⁣ #thechiffontrenches ⁣ #nytimes ⁣ #bestseller

@Sephora has revamped its Beauty Insider loyalty program to include cash rewards. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ While the program’s May 29 start date will coincide with continued coronavirus-related social-distancing guidelines, Allegra Stanley Krishnan, vice president and general manager of loyalty at Sephora, said planning began pre-pandemic.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Beauty Insider Cash — the program with the cash rewards — is something Sephora shoppers “have been asking for from us for years,” she added.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Sephora will also be having points-multiplier events, which will allow customers to earn either two, three or four points per dollar spent, depending on what tier of the Beauty Insider program they fall into. Rouge members, who spend at least $1,000 a year with the retailer, will see the most points during the events, Krishnan said. Sephora will also have points-for-discounts events and charitable giving options.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Report: @_a_collins

A new book celebrates seven decades of @Dior hats. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Maria Grazia Chiuri has rarely met a hat she didn’t like. In fact, one of the signatures of the designer’s tenure at Dior is her habit of showing headgear with almost every women’s look — in the process giving the category a robust sales boost.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The book features creations from all the house’s artistic directors, from Christian Dior himself through to Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and now Chiuri, who has revived the veiled beret as a marker of French chic.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ “Fashion is not just about clothes, far from it. Fashion is about building an identity, and this happens through clothes but also with accessories that can become a recognizable sign, a signature,” Chiuri told WWD.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The Rizzoli book, which comes out on June 3, was originally designed to coincide with an exhibition on the same theme at the Christian Dior Museum in Granville, Normandy, also under the artistic direction of Stephen Jones. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ “Chapeaux Dior! The Art of the Hat from Christian Dior to Stephen Jones” was scheduled to run from April 25 to Nov. 1, but has been postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus outbreak.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Report: @jdiderich⁣ ⁣ —⁣ #wwdfashion ⁣ #dior ⁣ #hats ⁣ #mariagraziachiuri ⁣ #stephenjones ⁣

The @CFDA and @voguemagazine Fashion Fund's A Common Thread has named 44 grant recipients.⁣ ⁣ Prabal Gurung, Rodarte’s Mulleavy sisters, Emily Adams Bode, LaQuan Smith, and Telfar Clemens were among those awarded in the first-round selections. ⁣ ⁣ “The goal was to help companies that are viable and have the chance to ride everything out,” said CFDA chairman Tom Ford in an interview with WWD. “A key factor was, is this a viable business, is this a brand or a retailer that warrants support? As sad as it is, it doesn’t make sense to support businesses that are ultimately going to fail. The money is there to try to help people who have viable businesses.”⁣ ⁣ But not all recipients are fashion brands. Fine jewelers Anna Sheffield and Gorga Fehren (Eva Fehren) received grants, as did Ahlem Eyewear and Gigi Burris Millinery.⁣ ⁣ “There is no perfect way to do it,” Ford observed of the selection process, noting the considerable “heartache’” involved in the various elimination rounds.⁣ ⁣ Not surprisingly, committee members found those who submitted the most thorough proposals the most impressive candidates. “Some people gave us very detailed business plans, and those plans were given more weight than those from people who wrote two or three lines that seemed less organized – ‘I need to pay my rent.’”⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: Bridget Foley

Copenhagen Fashion Week will go ahead in August. ⁣ ⁣ The event will happen on August 9 and run through August 12, a week later than originally scheduled.⁣ ⁣ “We’re fortunate that the Danish society is opening up much more quickly than expected, making it possible for us to hold Copenhagen Fashion Week very close to the originally scheduled dates. All of our activities will of course be set up to meet applicable regulatory requirements,” said Cecilie Thorsmark, chief executive officer of Copenhagen Fashion Week.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: @natalietheodosi
