Kate wore a long scarlet Eponine London coat and paired it with tan pieces, including a pleated skirt, tan high heels, and a matching mini purse. The Duchess wore a blue mask and her hair down while visiting the National Portrait Gallery to celebrate the book's launch. Earlier in the day, the Duchess's team shared footage on her social media of her hiding a book on the grounds of Kensington Palace for the public to find.
Kate's appearance today comes one day after she and Prince William marked Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's son Archie's second birthday on their Instagram. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a brief tribute to Archie and posted a photo from his christening.
“Wishing Archie a very happy 2nd birthday today. 🎈🎂” the couple simply captioned the shot.

The final touch of the “Slide Away” musician’s own look came in the form of lifted black velvet heels. The round-toe design included a platform toe with a curved Louis heel and dramatic bow-tie closure.
As for Cyrus herself, the singer is no stranger to a stir-causing style moment. While she is best known for her hit albums and box office films, the “Hannah Montana” alumna also dips her toes in the fashion and shoe space. The former Disney Channel star made an appearance on the runway at the Marc Jacobs’ fall ’20 show and has also sat front row at shows for top labels such as Tom Ford and Saint Laurent. She also has worked with Converse on a series of pride-filled shoe collections.
The Converse collaborator has also been vegan for years, leading her to oftentimes embrace wardrobe pieces that are cruelty-free. In fact, at last year’s Met Gala, Cyrus teamed a Saint Laurent minidress with a custom vegan leather version of the brand’s Paige platform sandals. Her other go-to designers for fashion and apparel include any label that can give her look a standout edge — think Versace, Saint Laurent, Alexandre Vauthier and Azalea Wang amongst others.
Skirts, Friends and Music! | The Lawrentian
As I was thrifting today, I was struck by many marvelous maxi skirts. There were floral, striped, plaid and so many more types. However, I was even-more-struck by the t-length skirts. I found the most mesmerizing skirt. It was black with blue flowers up and down it. It was literally calling my name. It was quite peculiar that I found this skirt because I'd just recently realized these were even in fashion. I'd seen a TikTok a couple days ago of another lady's thrift haul and saw this beautiful t-length skirt. Next thing I know, voila! It's mine.
Ever since October when I began watching documentaries and reading up on the legacy of Laurel Canyon I've gotten really into the fashion trends that blossomed during that era. Long dresses, flowy skirts and shirts, floral clothing, bell bottoms, you name it. I realized that a lot of these clothing trends coincided with the music that was being made. Since there was a lot of music being made about freedom and liberation during the 70's, it's interesting to see how that gets reflected in the clothing. The one thing that really struck me was the flowy skirts and how much it added to a performance. I remember watching a couple of the concerts from the 60's and just seeing the way these clothes told stories, and at times just as much as the lyrics did.
Now, flash forward to the 90's. These knee length skirts were super in. The best proprietor of these skirts that I can think of is Rachel Green. She was an absolute relic of 90's fashion. I can recall a couple episodes where she's rocking a knee length skirt and some cropped white tank top. Ugh, chefs kiss! However, to stay along with the theme of Friends , Phoebe also wears many skirts. Except Phoebe wears these intensely long maxi skirts which give her a witchy look. Whereas Rachel comes off as much more hip and chic. It's super interesting how we assign the different lengths and flowiness of skirts to different eras. Well… maybe it's only cool to me. I've always been enamoured with the fashion choices for the women in friends. They each have such distinctive wardrobes that correlates perfectly to their character's personalities.
I wonder which length of skirt will come to define the 2010's or even the 2020's. Also, I wonder if other people are as into skirt lengths and their impact on fashion history as I am. I'm betting that the mini-skirt is coming back; which I'm not at all mad about. What do you think?

Chanel Enchants Les Baux De Provence For Its 2021/22 Cruise Collection
Until the First World War, the white golden and luminous stone was used to build the surrounding cities. Today and for 40 years the ancient quarries have known an artistic reconversion. In 1960, Jean Cocteau directed the Testament of Orpheus there, in which he plays the part of an 18th-century poet. A marvelous black and white movie featuring amazing actors Jean Marais, Maria Casarès with the appearance of Pablo Picasso, Yul Brynner, Charles Aznavour.

This wilderness area alternating incredible southern light and shadow where the blue sky dominates was the setting of a highly graphic black and white show. "Because the simplicity, the precision and the poetry of Cocteau's film made me want to create a very clean collection, with a very distinct two-tone color made up of bright white and deep black" said Virginie Viard.
THE TESTAMENT OF ORPHEUS (C) 1959 STUDIOCANAL – All Rights Reserved - With special thanks to the ... [+] Jean Cocteau Committee
Gabrielle Chanel and Jean Cocteau were very close, two free spirits, two soul mates who felt love for lines, words and bestiaries. From Cocteau to Coco, letters, stars, white hibiscuses unified in a beautiful fashion show as a homage to this poetic and intense relationship. A Chanel souvenir and another testimonial. In 2017, the house published a beautiful book following the successful exhibition in Venice "Culture Chanel, The Woman Who Reads" written by Jean-Louis Froment edited by La Martinière. Inside, a note from Jean Cocteau to Coco written on a business card of The St. Regis in New York: "Dearest Coco, I've just seen Dali and we spoke tenderly of you. I wish you the best of luck. Which is ridiculous because you are luck. I embrace you and love you with all my heart. Jean ". December 30,1948.
The Cruise Show was made of contrasts and references. Models first walked in the dark with a constellation of Jean Cocteau's stars and then appeared in the bright light of the magnificent quarries. Virginie Viard signed a pure ode to femininity again with her punky touch.
Dutch duo Inez and Vinoodh photographed model Lola Nicon -the face of the collection- in six outfits for the press kit inside legendary Gabrielle Chanel's recently restored apartment at 31 rue Cambon in Paris, surrounded by the designer's bestiary and symbols. Pure incarnation of the French look, Lola Nicon closed the show wearing a mini skirt in shaded pink tweed with her face embroidered on a rock star black tee shirt and pointed silver Mary-Janes as a nod to the swinging sixties and the punk rock movement.
The Collection included soft punk and rock look, fringed leather skirts, mixed with silk pareo skirt inspired by the stars of Cocteau. The It punk accessories of the season: jeweled double C piercing for the lower lip and quilted mini-bag strapped to the thigh. "Echoing the extreme modernity of Cocteau's film, I wanted something quite rock. Lots of fringes, in leather, beads and sequins, pointed out Virginie Viard.

Review: Madewell's summer weight hemp denim line is perfect for the su
If you’re like me and avoiding real jeans and pants like the plague, wondering how to dip your toe back into normality while also re-embracing potentially stiff, constricting cotton, I’m happy to report a happy medium. Madewell’s newly released Summerweight Denim has arrived, with a hemp-cotton blend that is so soft, so subtly stretchy, and while they’re super comfortable to lounge in, they still have functional hardware and pockets.
The new collection is made from a hemp denim that results in a more resilient, breathable jean that’s full of character without the extra heft. Four of the brand’s classic denim fits —the 10″ High-Rise Skinny Crop, the Perfect Vintage Jean, the Curvy Perfect Vintage Jean, and the High-Rise Boyjean—will debut in the new hemp materials, alongside a pair of high-rise shorts, a welt-pocket denim jacket, and a pleated mini skirt. Prices will range from $69.50 to $135.
There’s a lot to love about fashion brands switching to hemp: it’s naturally absorbent and three times stronger than cotton alone, so you won’t wind up with bagged knees or a stretched-out waistband after a full day of wear.
Plus, it’s better for the environment. Hemp harvesting and production has a lower carbon footprint, requires less water use, and its denim doesn’t rely on harmful chemical processing to create a textured, rough-spun look. In fact, it gives built-in-character that gets better with every wear.
Pierson likened the use of hemp to”the new generation of linen,” for its yarn character and cooling, moisture-wicking properties. Hemp denim, she added, is also UV protectant—which is not only great for the wearer, but for the material, protecting against fading and yellowing from sun exposure.
Items in the Summerweight collection are made from different hemp-cotton blends. The perfect vintage crop , a slightly thicker sturdier ’90s-inspired straight-leg, features 6% hemp and 92% cotton, while the super soft, body-skimming high-rise skinny crop features 13% hemp and 81% cotton.
I tried both of these pair, and found them to be extremely comfortable—despite my 14-month aversion to pants with a non-stretch waistband. I dreaded slipping them on (the last pair of “denim” I purchased was comprised of 16% Spandex) but my immediate thought upon putting on the High-Rise Crop was: “Butter.”
“That’s the beautiful thing about hemp. There are those pieces of denim you have forever and ever,” said Pierson. “And this one evolves with you… the more you wear it and wash it, the softer and better it becomes, the more character it it gets.”
