Kurt Cobain Rips Through 'Dive' in Lingerie at 1993 Nirvana Show - Rolling Stone

Decades before Harry Styles angered conservatives by wearing a dress on the cover of Vogue , Kurt Cobain regularly dipped his toes in gender fluidity — donning dresses and makeup onstage, in photo shoots, or just hanging at friend’s houses. One memorable moment is when the late Nirvana frontman performed an encore in a lace slip and tiara, at Rio de Janeiro’s Hollywood Rock festival on January 23rd, 1993.

Following the chaos of São Paulo, the Rio show on January 23rd was seen as a chance for redemption, and they capped off the set with a lengthy “ Scentless Apprentice. ” In the video above, Cobain returns for the encore as Dave Grohl — wearing a bra and a backwards cap — and Krist Novoselic jam on Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion.” Cobain wades through the opening chords of “Dive,” an early gem that was released off the compilation Incesticide a month earlier.

Thailand orders lingerie maker to compensate workers in rare case | Reuters

BANGKOK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A Thai lingerie manufacturer has been ordered by authorities to compensate more than 1,200 workers who were dismissed without severance pay and wages owed to them when the factory shut down.

Brilliant Alliance Thai Global (BAT) closed its factory in Samut Prakan province on March 10 citing financial losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and workers and unions said they were given no warning or information about their wages or severance.

The company was this week told to pay 242.22 million baht ($7.81 million) to about 1,237 workers within 30 days or face a criminal lawsuit, according to Phongthep Petchsom, head of the Labour Protection and Welfare Office in Samut Prakan.

Under Thai labour law, companies that cease operations are required to give one month's notice and settle their financial commitments to workers, including wages, bonuses and severance.

"Since the start of the pandemic last year, this is probably the first case we have seen of a company suddenly closing down without severance pay and not providing payment to cover their notice period," Phongthep told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

BAT, which is owned by the Hong Kong-based garment manufacturer Clover Group, said on Wednesday that it would settle all outstanding payments owed and severance pay with workers in monthly instalments starting by the end of April.

"It is not and has never been BAT's intention to walk away from the legal care and entitlement of employees," the company said in a statement.

BAT had supplied lingerie to major global brands including Lululemon, Torrid and Victoria's Secret, according to former workers and a list of buyers provided by the factory's union.

Kornchanok Thanakhun, a union leader, said BAT asked workers in February to accept lower wages and benefits due to cancelled orders caused by the pandemic. Most rejected the plan, she said.

Anya Taylor-Joy's 2021 SAG Awards Look Was Inspired By Vintage Lingerie

In Netflix's hit series The Queen's Gambit actor Anya Taylor-Joy won over audiences as a dynamic chess pro growing up during the 1960s. To accept her award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series at the 27th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, Taylor-Joy revived the Old Hollywood glamour of the era, choosing to pose for her ceremonial shots in a delicate ballet pink and black lace Vera Wang minidress and Tiffany & Co. jewels.

"The jewels and also history of the house always makes my girls feel ultra glamorous," stylist Law Roach told Elle of the choice to wear over $800,000 in Tiffany & Co. jewelry. "As soon as the necklace went on Anya we could feel the presence of Audrey, Jackie, and Marilyn." The collection for the evening included a necklace with over 70 mixed-cut Tiffany diamonds totaling over 26 total carats, stud earrings, and three rings.

Taylor-Joy and Roach have together leaned towards romantic, glamorous red carpet looks this season, opting for an emerald green Dior Haute Couture gown and diamond jewelry at the Golden Globes and a purple tulle Dior Haute Couture gown at the Critics Choice Awards . But, where the plunging neckline and '70s-inspired sleek beauty look from the Golden Globes felt like a playful take on award season, the SAG Awards was a night of pure elegance.

While Taylor-Joy's look is a custom red carpet creation, Wang included a similar color palette, utilizing pale pink tulle and black lace as part of her Spring 2021 ready-to-wear collection which debuted in December and was inspired by Wang's own sense of style and childhood. The minidress worn by Taylor-Joy was inspired by vintage lingerie Roach told Instyle. " Her look feels very high-end nighttime dressing gown. It almost feels like an underpinning, but the silhouette of it is very much a cocktail dress."

"COVID may have cancelled most of our events last year but being invited to perform at the legendary Sturgis Buffalo Chip more than made up for it," Donnelly says, adding he is looking forward to returning this summer.

The Company was surprisingly busy during 2020 shooting two more seasons of its reality series and a third annual calendar. In honor of Sturgis, the theme for the 2021 calendar was hot bikes and exotic cars… although the real stars of the calendar are always the fighters themselves.

"We definitely didn't sit around and feel sorry for ourselves," Donnelly says. "We kept as busy as we safely could and spent our free time planning for the inevitable return to action."

"They kept asking when our next event would be and I kept answering, 'whenever fans are allowed again' and eventually it occurred to me that the fans were already there."

"Our fighters miss their fans and can't wait to see them in person again but until then they're just happy to be returning to the ring for the first time since August."

US lingerie retailer to open more stores, launch exclusive products in China - Chinadaily.com.cn

Victoria's Secret, the United States-based lingerie retailer, is opening more stores and launching exclusive swimwear collections in China this year, with an eye on further expanding its presence in the country.

Last month, the company launched new swimwear collections via online platforms and at select brick-and-mortar stores globally. In China, the swimwear will be sold at three stores in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Guangdong province, in addition to its official online store, according to the company.

The swimsuit series will include bikinis and one-pieces, and are priced between 198 yuan ($30) and 798 yuan. In 2019, the company started reselling its swimsuits collections, after suspending sales of the products since 2016, as it fell short of inclusivity standards since the available sizes ended at "L" or large.

This year, Victoria's Secret has launched its latest adjusted female swimwear products with sizes ranging from XS to XL and in different chest measurements, as the company aims to cater to more consumers with different body shapes.

Victoria's Secret will permanently close a group of stores in North America this year. But it will continue to increase its investments in China.

The company will open new outlets in the country that include flagship stores selling several types of products such as lingerie, sleepwear, other accessories and swimwear.

Since late 2019, Victoria's Secret started a new brand strategy that featured more styles. In early 2020, the brand launched its lingerie advertisement images with plus-size models, at a time when the company lost some of its market share to more size-inclusive brands.

"The swimsuit products of Victoria's Secret have a certain group of consumers and enjoy a remarkable influence. The new collection introduced in China has made some adjustments based on the purchasing demand and body shapes of Chinese women," said Li Jincan, an analyst at the LeadLeo Research Institute, a market research provider.

"The new series is expected to get a good market response in China. For Victoria's Secret, a brand that mainly features sexy images, swimsuits play an important role in helping the brand to strengthen its diversified image and generate more profits," she said.
