Japanese fashion magazine STREET has been publishing on its pages the best global street style since 1985 and forged ties between the various subcultures and design tribes that ruled the trendiest corners of London, Paris, Tokyo and beyond. Three decades later, the way we capture street style (and smartphones have replaced cigarettes) has changed a lot, but STREET's founder and Chief Editor, Shoichi Aoki, also the creative mind behind FRUiTS magazine, is still as dedicated to recording these trends as back in the days. "Back then, I had found that there were not enough photographers in the world capturing street style," Shoichi says of the roots of the publication. "At that time, I didn't know about Mr. Bill Cunningham but I knew there was strong street fashion in Paris and London." 

"In the mid-80s, when the magazine started to be alive, it was the "most spectacular era for style," Shoichi says. "It's always changed, but it's been a remarkable period. Right now we're in a transitional phase from a dull age." Whether you agree with this sentiment – many do – you'll be delighted to hear that Shoichi has spent months digitizing STREET's first 100 issues, which have never been digitalized ever before. 

The result is a window into an era heavily referenced in contemporary fashion. "There's a demand for street fashion in the 80s and 90s right now, but STREET magazine was never made digitally in that period, so I had to scan 3600 pages directly from printed magazines to do that," Shoichi says. "It was a massive amount of work." From graduate fashion shows in Antwerp to London's Kings Road, Paris Metro stations during the fashion week to Berlin's bars and clubs, the style of these moments is of a timeless nature, even if the clothes themselves change. 

Unfortunately, the streets are not open to business as usual right now and for the most part, many of the best fits are unknown at the moment. Yet these 100 issues provide a design history lesson that few might boast and an endless source of inspiration. Below is Shoichi's selection of his favorite shoots to share.

Can you try to identify any of the early Yohji Yamamoto or Comme des Garcons outfits in these scans? Surely, there must be some of those.

Scanned from the original print editions, issues 1 - 100 are now available to purchase from tokyofruits.com.

DIGITAL ARCHIVE OF THE ICONIC JAPANESE STREET MAGAZINE

Of the many simple pleasures that we look forward to once the lockdowns are fully lifted, wandering through galleries and museums is definitely high on the list. Until then, thanks to institutions like MoMA and the Met, which have been offering virtual tours since March, many of us have been getting our cultural fix digitally. 

Certainly, some shows were delayed until things are back in order, but in truth Glen Luchford is doing the opposite. The celebrated photographer, known mainly for Alessandro Michele's immersive Gucci advertisements, chose to have his new show digitally on view, so that everyone can try it from their homes. 

Opening today, 1990-2020 Selected Works captures 30 years of photographs of Luchford, from his early years shooting Amber Valleta for Prada (when the world first came to notice) to his most famous campaigns with Kate Moss, Stella Tennant and Kristen McMenamy. Users will be able to explore the interactive show at their own speed or take a guided tour, as they would in the real world. 

"For some time I have been meaning exhibiting elements of my work," explains Luchford. "Covid-19 made me think in different ways of showing work that can be viewed from isolation and during this period of ongoing social distance. Certainly, nothing can replace the sensory impact of wandering through a gallery or museum, but this virtual gallery gives me the opportunity to see the work in a space and look for as long or as little time as I want, and I'm very happy to be able to do it. 

We were wondering how would virtual galleries of Andre Courreges or Thierry Mugler would look like back in the 70s if there was an ongoing lockdown and if the modern technologies of today would have been available back then?

The exhibition is open now on ArtPartner.com until June 30, 2020.

GLEN LUCHFORD'S VIRTUAL GALLERY IS OPEN UNTIL JUNE 30TH

This line saw Valentino’s often smoking and always excited artistic director applying a collaboration to a collaboration. Pierpaolo Piccioli approached his friend Liya Kebede to input his couture interpretation of Moncler into the patterns and aesthetics of her sustainable and socially responsible Ethiopian label Lemlem. PPP was filming his mise-en-scène on his iPhone, surrounded by the regular phalanx of foreign PR reps. The looks had the same voluptuous volume as his first presentation for Genius but here they were interrupted by Lemlem's contribution's graphic vibrancy. So how did Moncler + PPP + Lemlem transform into his most recent expression of Genius? 

He said: "I don't think you can do anything very new today. However, you can create new harmonies — new perspectives and points of view. Actually, while I was doing couture I did this little collection, amongst other activities. And for sure what I wanted to do was to interpret the Moncler worlds through my own identity. I felt like I wanted to add the feeling of a different perspective — the Liya perspective in particular. I don't think inclusiveness is a simple word; I just believe in working together in a way that gives you new perspectives. And I thought couture wasn't meant to be for black women when it was born. It was for white women only. Magazines like Jet wouldn't even borrow shoes! So this collection is to prove that everyone should be able to dream about couture, and that's why Liya's idea worked so well. 

Kebede's virtuous circle of a label, Lemlem, is made in her native Ethiopia by artisan seamstresses, who apply traditional patterns to contemporary pitched European-style clothing. Pierpaolo Piccioli said: "I love the idea of celebrating art and encouraging these women to work (giving them the opportunity). I decided to re-create Lemlem nylon fabrics. I think it's very good if you're talking about something like this – a new perspective."

We currently live in the world of collaborations. Think of how many Rick Owens only was involved in during these last few years.

PIERPAOLO PICCIOLI TRANSFORMING MONCLER JACKET INTO A COUTURE ITEM

George Floyd, an African-American man, died on May 25th, 2020, after Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer, knelt for about seven minutes on Floyd's neck while the latter was handcuffed and lying down his chest on the road. Floyd seemed to stop moving after about five minutes. Police officers Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng also helped restrain Floyd, while nearby officer Tou Thao stood to block onlookers and cameras view. The incident happened during Floyd's arrest in Powderhorn, a neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, and was captured by many bystanders on their mobile phones. The video recordings, showing Floyd constantly saying "I can't breathe," have been widely shared and broadcasted by the media on SM platforms. The next day, the four officers who have been involved got sacked. 

At the request of the Minneapolis Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is conducting a federal civil rights investigation into the incident, while the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating whether there have been possible violations of Minnesota statutes. 

The demonstrations and protests that started after Floyd's death were initially peaceful, but shortly turned violent as windows were broken at a police station, two stores were set on fire, and other shops in the surrounding areas were robbed and destroyed. Law enforcement responded by shooting tear gas into the crowds and firing rubber bullets. Floyd's death was linked to the death of Eric Garner in 2014, an unarmed black man who repeated "I can't breathe" eleven times after being held in a police officer's chokehold during an arrest. 

Derek Chauvin, age 44, was named as the officer who held Floyd to the ground by kneeling on his back. He had been an officer with the Minneapolis Department of Police since around 2001. Chauvin had 18 complaints on his official record, two of which resulted in sanctions from the department including formal letters of reprimand. He was involved in three police shootings, one of which was fatal. 

President Donald Trump sent his condolences on Twitter urging the FBI to investigate thoroughly, adding: "My heart goes out to George's family and friends. Justice will be served!" Trump also characterized Floyd's death as "Sad and Tragic." Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic 2020 presidential candidate, said on Twitter: "George Floyd deserved better and his family deserved justice. His life mattered. The FBI should conduct a thorough investigation."

Below, we are sharing a vital quote to remember from @athianakec.⁣ ⁠

He is one of the most significant fashion designers of the modern era: Thierry Mugler deployed his avant-garde vision of fashion for 30 years, collection after collection. A new woman emerged on the runway under his encouragement and she was smoulderingly potent. Restored by a formal silhouette at the end of the 1970s that was easily recognizable, she had a tiny corset waist, broad shoulders, and an accented chest and hips. Mugler thought he should become a ballet dancer, but through designing clothes the young Thierry Mugler finally transcribed his love of the body. In 1973, this perfectionist created his first collection Café de Paris with creativity and perseverance, and two years later, despite limited financial means, arranged his very first runway show. 

Extravagant, sexy and sometimes irreverent, "his fashion lives in conjugation with the superlative," writes Nathalie Bondil, managing director and chief curator at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. "Oversized caps, neon wigs, aerodynamic chest, tight-fitting skirts, gleaming corsets, cleavage," - these epithets characterize the style of Mugler. With Mugler, femininity is assumed one hundred percent: from his first look of 1979th, his pieces guided women towards emancipation by affirming an armored body that was undeniably resistant to any social affronts. His virtuosity is also illustrated beyond the silhouettes by his use of unconventional materials: by adapting rubber, chrome, resin and plexiglass to a body's curves, the designer marked a very distinct turning point in the fashion of the 1980s-90s, which gradually became more romantic than wearable. His keen eye fused with pure futurism, a liberated sensitivity to the world of science fiction. Mugler fashion turned into art. 

And yet the designer bowed out after two decades of prolific success in 2001, after unveiling his last ready-to-wear collection. The fashion industry's ever-increasingly frenetic pace, he turned his attention to creating shows and stage costumes. His rich heritage, however, has never stopped being revisited by openly claiming influence from designers, as well as numerous pop stars including Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Cardi B, who still wear his outfits today. His vast oeuvre is presently being celebrated followed by a first book published by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in partnership with Phaidon – via a judicious collection of pieces. To better understand this fashion utopian's influence, we are looking back on nine of his most emblematic collections.

The virtuoso, avant-gardist fashion designer Thierry Mugler: discover nine of the collections that marked the fascinating history of his fashion house.

Pepsi released a now-infamous commercial during the 2017 Black Lives Matter rally featuring Kendall Jenner, passing a can of soft drink to a police officer. The commercial came out of oblivion to express peace and solidarity, and the Internet overwhelmingly shunned the effort to comment on the soda business. 

Jack in the Box launched an ad for introducing new teriyaki bowls to its menus in 2018. In the 60-second video, in an attempt to make light of the #MeToo movement, Jack makes fun out of the word "bowls" as a euphemism to male genitalia. The Internet wasn't having it yet again. Many found the post poorly timed and insensitive. AdWeek's David Griner also called the commercial "one of the #MeToo era's most tone-deaf ads." 

COVID-19 was no different at all. The pandemic among marketers has spurred yet another round of agita. Emotional advertising meant pulling on millennials' heartstrings has fallen largely flat. However, entrepreneurs have found effective ways of maintaining interest in their market without unnecessarily falling off. This is no small feat in an increasingly noisy area of play. 

Every day, customers are bombarded with different types of advertisement. The modern consumer is expected to be spending 121.30 minutes per day watching digital video content this year, according to eMarketer. 

The more video content is watched, the fewer patience audiences have with messages which are meaningless. The effect of a bad ad isn't just a click of the "Skip Ads" button anymore. Consumers continue to be distrustful of brands they view as fake. 

The latest publicity gaffe from McDonald's is a prime example of this. In response to the tragic deaths caused by COVID-19 of more than 258k worldwide, the company decided to show their solidarity by putting space in between its famous double arches. This was meant to be a grand gesture of empathy as a symbol of social distancing — but McDonald's faced intense backlash. 

Bernie Sanders even tweeted at the company telling them to give away sick leave paid to their employees. 

Sales plummeted dramatically during the month of April. The business posted a 3.4 percent decrease in revenue from the same store while earnings per share dropped below the estimates of analysts to $1.47. Of course, much of the financial crisis can be traced to global lockdowns — but the tactic did tarnish the attitudes of consumers. McDonald's NPS score (a common brand loyalty benchmark) dropped to -8, indicating customers did not return to the drive-thrus. 

Insubstantial expressions don't just wince customers. They get processed as pockets of resentment in customer's brains. 

Though McDonald's is taking steps to correct the error, the damage is done. And they are not alone in this. 

Many big brands' responses to the pandemic are fumbling. Adidas reversed their "stay open" order within 24 hours, in the midst of intense backlash. KFC shut down an ad showing consumers who launched unwashed hands in slow motion earlier this year (a reference to the popular "Finger Licken' Good" tag line). 

At the other end of the continuum companies are taking steps to tackle the situation. 

What can Big Brands learn from Startups? 

Inherently, companies are better suited to being real. Of course, that's made straightforward by the definition of being smaller and less operationally complex. Major companies shouldn't just pay attention to the main rivals, however. They need to watch how newer firms are responding to the pandemic. 

SoleMates, a startup focusing on heel protectors and extension products, has launched a "buy-one, give-one initiative." The company will donate an anti-friction balm to a frontline worker for every unit purchased which helps combat mask irritation. 

Headspace, a meditation-focused wellness app, developed a web site full of tools to help with anxiety about COVID. They also started offering their frontline healthcare staff free access to their premium services: "Helping those who care about us, paying about themselves" 

Emilie Heathe, a beauty boutique brand, donates 20 percent of GLAM4GOOD's sales. The 501(c)3 gathers and provides blankets, care packages and PPE to frontline staff who are unable to sleep in their homes (for fear of spreading the virus to loved ones). 

Air Co., a vodka startup that developed a process for using captured carbon dioxide to make liquor, shifted its production to make hand sanitizer for communities in New York City. 

SantM, a functional luxury/comfort chic/handmade footwear brand in Italy and the Nemours Children's Hospital network, has teamed up to raise funds for the hospital and produce thousands of face masks. 

All a/m businesses have something in common: they centered their attention instead of trying to build marketing fluff, and pivoted their operations to meet real needs. That is what consumers expect nowadays. 43 percent of millennials agree that brands need to help during the pandemic, according to a new survey. Startups see that and are proving they understand that potential buyers will not tolerate inaction. 

Marketers should ask themselves what matters and reflect.

"Hey. We're a Brand," a parody ad launched by copywriter Samantha Geloso last month, perfectly encapsulates the current moment in branded content. 

In it, a fictitious company takes audiences on an emotional trip through vacant stores and hospitals with masked forlorn patients. Ultimately, viewers realize that melancholy music and woeful footage were used by the company to guilt audiences into buying a product. 

Some of the advertisements that we've been hit within April and May have manipulated today's real fear experienced by customers. Geloso's movie makes it all too obvious. 

Words are to be matched with action in today's economy. 

Often taking a break and avoiding the urge to respond may be the toughest decision marketers make. Instead of causing fires accidentally, marketers should take this moment to be reflective and ask themselves what matters to their managers, leadership and consumers. If now isn't a good time to ask yourself what you think — the when is that?

Fashion houses get involved. Victoria Beckham has announced that they donate 20 percent of their net sales from victoriabeckham.com and victoriabeckhambeauty.com to Feeding America in the US and Trussell Trust in the UK for a limited period of time.

Throughout the years, we have seen the Japanese artist Haruhiko Kawaguchi — who goes by his pseudonym Photographer Hal — vacuum-seals pairs in different intimate spaces. Unconventional portraits see pairs of people closely bundled in a thin layer of plastic and captured in an intense, ephemeral and controlled moment. Photographer Hal is now scaling up his ambitious work for his new show, 'Flesh Love Everything' where families and couples are vacuum-sealed together with their homes. 'I began a vacuum project with a couple and all-around with a landscape,' says the artist. 'Not just couples where they love each other, but even everything around them is vacuum-packed and eventually the entire landscape is vacuum-packed, creating n picture where everything in the universe is one life.' 

Photographer Hal's carefully controlled portraits allow him a strict 10-second shooting time, before the situation could become harmful. The couples volunteer to the project themselves and their homes, seeking to convey the message behind the vision of the artist and the photographic philosophy — love. 'The location of the shooting is their most important place,' the artist continues. 'The things that you love and the world. I think this is an ideal type of love. We should spread out the meaning of love and spread the relation of love more and more through different cultures.' 

We see houses, bathtubs, couples, love with other key elements including individuality, style, communication and intimacy throughout Haruhiko Kawaguchi's work. 

Haruhiko Kawaguchi brings complete strangers to his confined, crimson-like spaces only to convey his ongoing theme of 'couple love.' Photographer Hal is using tiny rooms to capture the willing couples, bringing the focus even closer to the objects placed together in a bathtub. 'Today, I am seeking new dimensions in portrait photography by challenging the majestic theme of humanity, defined through love.' Photographer Hal's latest project is called 'Fresh Love', which captures the varied couples in vacuum-sealed packages.

Interesting fact: In their previous seasons back in the 2000s, Maison Margiela, Comme des Garcons, Rick Owens used to vacuum-seal their selected products before shipping them out to clients.

The Japanese artist Haruhiko Kawaguchi, aka Photographer Hal, known for vacuum-sealing couples in plastic bags in different uncomfortable positions, discusses the concept of intimacy in relationships.

HARUHIKO KAWAGUCHI VACUUM-SEALS FAMILIES TOGETHER WITH THEIR HOMES

After the launch of groundbreaking partnerships with the artists KAWS, Hajime Sorayama and Raymond Pettibon, Dior Homme creative director Kim Jones engaged in artistic conversation with the American, Daniel Arsham, for his series of men's Summer 2020: an encounter inspired by the House's history weaving itself into the future like an odyssey, radiating across all the creative fields, from silhouettes and accessories to the scenography. 

The multidisciplinary of Arsham combines art, architecture and performance. Arsham was born in Miami, Florida; he was just twelve when Andrew Hurricane devastated his house. This traumatic part of the artist's biography continues to be a theme of his work. Arsham graduated from the Design and Architecture High School and received a full scholarship from the New York City Cooper Union. In 2003, he won the Gelman Trust Fellowship Award. 

Arsham moved back to Miami after graduating from school, and opened up an exhibition space named "The House" with several artist fellows. It was in 2004 that Daniel met Emmanuel Perrotin through The House. By 2005, Daniel Arsham's work has been shown at the Gallerie Perrotin in Paris. 

Shortly afterward Arsham was invited to create stage design and tour with the Dance Company of choreographer Merce Cunningham leading to continuing stage design practice and continued partnership with choreographer and former Cunningham's dancer, Jonah Boaker. 

In 2007 Arsham and his partner Alex Mustonen have founded Snarkitecture. The partnership in architecture has included work with fashion companies, interior and architectural design, and a full line of practical object design. 

In 2014 Arsham founded Films of the Future. This production company synthesizes all the creative output Arsham has produced over the last ten years and creates a visual system in which his otherworldly and futuristic artwork might exist. His debut series, Future Relic, was being made for two years, and consists of nine short films portraying a potential world before and after Earth is experiencing significant ecological changes. Arsham often includes in his shows sculptures of petrified media artifacts of the twentieth century made to look like artifacts rotting from obsolescence. 

Arsham's Hourglass is a trilogy of Adidas shoes-sponsored films that represent the past, present, and future following Daniel as he journeys through time wearing the Adidas Originals x himself collaboration shoes.

Recently, he was named to the HB100 list by HypeBeast for their top 100 industry influencers. 

Daniel Arsham x Dior SS20 includes clothing, jewelry, accessories, and shoes inspired by Arsham's artwork and sculptures.

It is through working with choreographer Merce Cunningham that Daniel Arsham learned the importance of collaborations. Before moving on to assist another master of performing arts, Bob Wilson, he created a number of set designs for this groundbreaking contemporary dance icon, even landing himself projects for the "Rules of the Game" ballet with musician Pharrell Williams and choreographer Jonah Bokaer. 

Although color blind, it is only in recent years - thanks to specially designed glasses - that he has moved into color, an endeavor that has often led him to experiment with monochrome colors, like a shadow painter. His plays lie at the crossroads of the arts: painting, design and sculpture. 

Daniel Arsham performs an artistic meditation on time like a potential archaeologist. The concept of eroded vestiges inspires casts of everyday objects, transfigured into a geologically evocative material. Crystal or volcanic ash crack and widen like familiar traces of a bygone era, or signs of a future horizon. Arsham converses with what is not yet, by spinning an allure of the past on our present. 

He mined the House's archives alongside the artistic director Kim Jones for his Summer 2020 men's collection. Magnified by the deterioration of time, his reinterpretation of the logo on the Saddle bag, shaped like an antique, or Dior's famous "newspapers" print made for the couture show Spring-Summer 2000, are enthralling. 

Daniel Arsham's way of applying himself to the creation of other pieces and his show scenography – a sparkling pink and white collection that takes us into a oneiric universe – allowed this latest creative partnership an endless exploration of the cosmos and temporalities.

Year 2020 is indeed a new era of collaborations. Feeling thrilled to find out who is going to be the next "victim" or Rick Owens, Alexander Wang, or Boris Bidjan Saberi's after the end of the pandemic.

Arsham was just twelve when Andrew Hurricane devastated his house. This traumatic part of the artist's biography continues to be a theme of his work.

The bizarre couple Michele Lamy and Rick Owens seems to be the best couple ever. No matter there have been rumors about Rick Owens homosexuality he said “Frankly, in the beginning, I made a point of bringing up my sexuality just because I wanted it before anyone else could. I was with Michele and hated the idea of someone whispering to her “you know, I think your husband’s gay”. I was going to say it first. I didn’t want anyone to think they could embarrass me or Michele.” Sexuality doesn’t seem to be a problem as they complete each other perfectly, both in private life and work.

Having first seen each other at Christian Dior's funeral in 1957, they only really met in 1958 during a dinner organized by a journalist from Harper's Bazaar, Marie-Louise Bousquet. It is Pierre who took the first step, and congratulated the designer for his first Dior collection. Six months later, they have settled together and founded the Yves Saint-Laurent brand. Pierre was in charge of the house's financial management when Yves was designing the silhouettes that were going to revolutionize the 20th-century fashion. Although their story wanders in the 80s against the background of alcohol, drugs and deception, the two have never separated and stayed together until Yves Saint Laurent death in 2008.

They've met on the set of Aux Eyes du Monde, in 1990. Charlotte was 19 years old - it was the year after the death of Serge Gainsbourg, that they started dating. The perfect embodiment of the Parisian couple, they collaborated on several productions made by Yvan, such as Ma femme est une actrice and Ils se marièrent et eurent beaucoup d'enfants. Two almost autobiographical films, except that after 22 years spent together and having three children, they are still not married. Rumors says Charlotte Gainsbourg refused the proposal in 2013.

Their first date? In 1989. A visit to the Art Institute of Chicago, followed by a film screening: Do the Right Thing by Spike Lee. An instant thunderbolt, according to the 44th President of the United States: "We clicked immediately. It only took me one meeting to get convinced." After three years of relationship, Barack made his proposal at the Gordon restaurant, also in Chicago. The whole world knows what has happened next.

When Paul met Linda at the Bag O'Nails bar in London, he fell in love with her at first sight. "She was about to leave, so I went to approach her to ask her name," said the ex-Beatle in an interview. They meet again for days later and spent their first year in a tumultuous on-and-off relationship, then ended up moving in together and getting married. They did not leave each other for 30 years, until the photographer died in 1998. They were living in total harmony, where Linda, realistic and down to earth, would give a perfect counterpoint to the whimsical personality of the musician.

"The first night I went out with Richard, I felt like I already knew everything about him," said Tom Ford about Richard Buckley, whom he met at a New York fashion show in 1986. Richard was 38 years old and an influential fashion journalist for Women's Wear Daily, Tom was a young fashion designer, barely 25. A week later, Tom went to the WWD editorial office to collect pieces after a shoot: that was the beginning of a relationship that has lasted for 30 years. "I can't imagine my life without Tom," explained Buckley in an interview.

Céline's artistic director and the London gallery owner are one of the most influential couples in England. And, undoubtedly, one of the most stable in the world of art and fashion: they have been married since 2004 and have three children. To keep the family together, Phoebe even moved the studio from the Parisian Céline house to London. A business union? Not really as the couple said recently that they have no plans to collaborate, neither in art nor in fashion. Do not mixing work and private life may be the secret of the love that lasts.

They've met at a fair in Milan in 1977, and became partners eight years later, when Miuccia entrusted Patrizio with the post of sales manager for Prada leather goods. Still working hand in hand today, the couple is known for their fighting spirit: "You have to work hard," explains Miuccia Prada. We've always had an intense relationship, and it's sometimes hard to collaborate, although I admire and respect Patrizio.” This collaboration makes the two Italians one of the most powerful couples in the fashion world. Together, they imposed their vision on Prada, Miu Miu and generally within the Prada Group, which now owns companies such as Helmut Lang or Jil Sander.

They spoke for the first time at the production of The Virgin Suicides soundtrack, in which Thomas took part with his "Air" band. The two would not start dating until after Marie-Antoinette, for which Thomas also composes a part of the soundtrack, with Phenix this time. They married in 2011 at the Palazzo Margherita, in the village of Bernalda in Italy and now have two daughters: Romy and Cosma. The two work together regularly, for instance on "A Very Murray Chrismas" theater play or "Somewhere" movie, both orchestrated by Coppola.

Among the few love stories that survive in the hectic world of Hollywood, we noted one of Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman. They fell on top of each other in the early 1950s on Broadway, then met again in 1957 during the shooting of The Long, Hot Summer and then started a love story that everyone would envy. Joanne and Paul got married the following year and lived a stable relationship despite the regular rumors of separation. The union lasedt until the death of Newman in 2008. In 2013, the cinema industry paid homage to the couple by putting their photo on the official poster of the Cannes Film Festival. "It was a couple who perfectly embodied the cinema spirit," explained the festival organizers.

Ten iconic power couples that have shaped the world of Art, Film and Fashion

After Gucci's helm was taken over by Alessandro Michele, the house's promotional stars ranged from celebrities like Harry Styles and Lana Del Rey to incredibly adorable animals like chickens and piglets. The latter group is taking center stage in Gucci's latest campaign that was shot in southern Spain before the fall of 2020. Titled #SoDeerToMe, the idea behind is simple: "Any pet — a skunk, a frog or an owl — can be the best friend in a child's world." Or any deer, fawn, blue bird, skunk, squirrel, duck, rabbit or hedgehog, from the look of things. 

This We Bought a Zoo-style approach can seem like a clever solution to staging a photo shoot while distancing from society. Yet in fact the idea was formulated before the pandemic. Gucci collaborated earlier this year with the Lions Share Fund, which supports the protection of endangered species and their habitats. Every time the house features an animal in an ad, it donates to the non-profit 0.5 per cent of its media spending. And the party is in for a real windfall, thanks to Michele and the photographer Alasdair McLellan! 

Gucci shines a spotlight on their furry friends also on Instagram. Every photograph comes with a fun fact about the pictured animal, such as how the word "squirrel" derives from the Greek word "shadow-tailed" (skíouros). You can also learn about the diet of teacup-sized hedgehogs, which includes slightly less cute creatures such as centipedes and snails.

The fashion month wrap is usually greeted with excitement — a giddy anticipation that surrounds the forthcoming wardrobes of fall, and the sartorial stories that will unfold on both the streets and the internet. However, this year, when marking the end of four long weeks, there was a more somber feeling as coronavirus spread and fashion iconic locations like Milan were put into lockdown. 

On the catwalk this sentiment was mirrored. Models came out at Max Mara, Rick Owens, and Louis Vuitton ready for combat with parkas that left them enveloped in protective padding, their dresses covered in code. Balenciaga and Loewe, when in need of some sartorial redemption, had us dressed with their clerical collections for church. Paco Rabanne honored Saint Joan of Arc very literally in their signature chainmail with armor plates. Celine, Gucci and Marc Jacobs encouraged us to channel our inner kid, with Peter Pan collars and shortened hemlines, in an effort to lighten the mood. Then there were Bottega Veneta and Valentino's sequined red sheaths, which managed to outshine any impending disaster.

This We Bought a Zoo-style approach can seem like a clever solution to staging a photo shoot while distancing from society. Yet in fact the idea was formulated before the pandemic.
