A few minutes after the end of the show, Lenny Kravitz took the stage to play a few of his hits, including “Fly Away,” followed by “American Woman.” ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Tap the link in bio to see all of the looks. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Report: @aleturra85 ⁣ 📸: @giovanni_giannoni_photo⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #wwdfashion⁣ #LuisaViaRoma⁣ #karllagerfeld ⁣ #gigihadid

Wes Gordon has put color and joy at the heart of his Carolina Herrera. "It's not a greige story," he says. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ WWD's Executive Editor, Bridget Foley, chatted with Gordon about how he has I nfused the collections with a younger, lighter aura. But not one that the disrespects the past. Nor does it merely celebrate youth on the runway and then temper the clothes for real-customer resonance. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Speaking to “a lot of generations” doesn’t mean appealing to all of the women all of the time, which is code for creating boring, generic clothes. “That’s been the kiss of death for a lot of things, whether they are retailers or publications or whatever. It’s when you lose what makes you special by trying to be all things to all people,” Gordon says.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣⁣ 📸: @masatoonoda .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ #wwdfashion⁣⁣ #carolinaherrera⁣⁣ #wesgordon⁣

Beauty YouTuber Nabela Noor is launching a body-positive fashion label. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Her popularity catapulted in 2017 when she posted a 54-second viral clip in which she wrote in makeup concealer on her face negative comments from her viewers about her appearance, before erasing and replacing them with a message of self-love.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ “I was getting comment after comment about how I was dressed so confidently in my own size and I thought, ‘Why shouldn’t I?’” She continued: “My goal then went from: ‘Let me show you a makeup look’ to ‘let me show you how you can love yourself.’ There was the realization that a lot of people need to know that they are perfectly good enough as they are and they can wear what they want to wear. Then I realized I can tell them that, but if they don’t have access to those garments that can make them feel that way then it’s all just white noise.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Report: Ericka Franklin ⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ #wwdfashion⁣⁣ #nabelanoor
