Isabel Marant releases an update to her famous wedge sneaker

 Isabel Marant has an idea for comfortable yet fashionable post-pandemic footwear—and it involves the brand’s famous wedge sneaker, the Beckett, which first debuted a decade ago. Now reimagined as the Balskee, the sneaker comes with a hidden wedge heel, velcro straps, two-tone detailing, and a sculptural silhouette. The original Beckett quickly became a sell-out, citing over 200,000 pairs sold and a fanbase that boasted Kendall Jenner, Gisele Bündchen, Rihanna, and, of course, Beyoncé (the sneaker stole the spotlight in her ‘Love On Top’ music video!). And now, complete with its 10th anniversary facelift, the 10-centimeter-high Balskee comes in five different colorways—true black, forest green, scarlet red,  and mustard yellow included. Shop your next comfort shoe, retailing for $770, now on isabelmarant.com.

Kourtney Kardashian Paid Tribute to Travis Barker with Her Latest Outfit

A not-so-subtle sartorial nod.

Post by : Nizar Amiebenomo 

Kourtney Kardashian just confirmed that she's boyfriend Travis Barker's biggest fan. On Friday, the reality star made a not-so-subtle sartorial nod in honor of the drummer, wearing a sweatshirt that supports his band, Blink-182.

In a photo posted to Barker's Instagram Stories, Kardashian is dressed down in tan hoodie with the music group's name emblazoned across the front in black lettering, and below, there's an illustration of their iconic anime girl. She paired the pullover with black pants, minimal makeup, and baby pink nails

Barker simply captioned the snapshot with a red heart emoji.

Kourtney's laid-back look comes just weeks after she clapped back at a troll saying she changed her style since dating Barker. Last month, she shared a photo of herself wearing ripped jeans and a camisole underneath an oversized fur-trimmed jacket, and a few followers called her out for seemingly not staying true to her glam aesthetic.

In January, Kardashian and Barker began seeing each other, and they made their relationship Instagram official a month later. Ever since, things between the two have progressed quickly. Last weekend, the pair vacationed to Palm Springs together with their kids, and weeks earlier, Barker referred to Kardashian as the "love of my life."

Lady Gaga and Versace Team Up for a Stunning Capsule Collection

Check out the new Versace collection in collaboration with lady Gaga 

Lady Gaga may love many labels, but she’s always had a special place in her heart for Versace. In previous years she’s expressed her affinity for the brand by wearing custom looks during her 2017 Super Bowl performance, appearing in the Spring 2014 collection ads, and dedicating a track on ArtPop to Donatella. But 

today Gaga announced her most meaningful Versace collaboration to date. To celebrate Pride and the tenth anniversary of Born This Way, Gaga and Donatella teamed up for a capsule collection benefiting the Born This Way Foundation, the singer’s charity dedicated to mental health support for young people, particularly LGBTQIA youth. 

The first half of the collaboration consists of a specially designed t-shirt and matching beret that features rainbow shades and the house’s iconic Medusa logo. Both will be sold on Versace’s website starting today, but the pièce de résistance is a custom replica of the Versace leather jacket Gaga wore during her Born This Way Ball tour. With its sharp shoulders and metal mesh, the piece was the standout of her performance wardrobe

The new version, which took 400 hours to make by hand in Versace’s Milan atelier, promises to be as striking as the original. Whether it will break records when it hits the auction block on June 1st remains to be seen, but it’s sure to garner interest from collectors.

Given their longstanding friendship and the charitable nature of the collaboration, Gaga and Donatella were eager to share their excitement over the project with the world. “Versace has always been a leader. Since Gianni, Donatella, Allegra, and still now, they have celebrated the beautiful colors of love we have within us,” Gaga wrote in an Instagram update where she posed in both the beret and t-shirt. Donatella’s response was similarly upbeat. “Gaga and her foundation are so inspiring,” the designer wrote in a statement. “Our friendship and our efforts to promote equality, diversity, and inclusion have only become stronger with time.”
