Lipstick Lobby, Opening Ceremony Create ‘Kiss My Pink’ Lipstick for Charity

The Lipstick Lobby and a handful of influencers — from Salice Rose, who has six million followers on Instagram, to Shameless Maya, whose YouTube channel has nearly one million subscribers — are “puckering up and protesting.”
The social justice movement, which empowers women to become activists for the issues they care about, is today launching “Kiss My Pink,” a lipstick to benefit women’s issues and “lipstick it to the man.” The matte, vibrant pink lipstick retails for $19 and was created to raise awareness for Planned Parenthood, which will receive 100 percent of net profits.
Studio71, creator of the lipstick, has partnered with Opening Ceremony to be the exclusive retailer of the product. The $19 lipstick is now available at thelipsticklobby.com, openingceremony.com and Opening Ceremony’s boutiques in New York and Los Angeles.
“Lipstick is a simple way to raise funds and generate awareness. Since women’s health care is in jeopardy right now, making Planned Parenthood our first beneficiary was the obvious choice,” said Davida Hall, vice president, lifestyle content, at Studio71. “We were hearing from our community from people who wanted to speak out in response to what was going on in politics, so we decided to roll up our sleeves and do something

Front Row at Chanel Couture Fall 2017

FASHION MONUMENT: “It’s like Vegas in Paris,” said French actress Pom Klementieff of Chanel’s latest show set extravaganza: A reconstruction of a section of the Eiffel Tower. Even the most seasoned of Chanel show-goers was gobsmacked.
“It’s quite extraordinary, coming through the door into the Grand Palais….I mean for anyone who’s not been here, it’s a pretty awesome space, but to imagine someone saying, ‘Let’s build the first couple of storyies of the Eiffel Tower with, by the way, a cloud at the top of it’….It really takes my breath away,” said Tilda Swinton. “It’s beyond, and there’s something really beautiful about this show, this setting. This whole Robert Delaunay kind of Orphist sensibility right now in Paris, that feels really, really touching. I thought it was bang-on.”

“I’m totally blown away. This collection was a total throwback, the shapes, the hats, the boots, the colors on the eyelids…. I think it’s one of my favorite Chanel shows,” said Lily Collins, who has been up the real Eiffel Tower two or three times. “But I didn’t get to visit it this time, so now I get to sit under this one, it’s

Céline Dion Cozies Up to U.S. Vogue at Paris Couture Shows

A NEW DAY HAS COME: Could Céline Dion soon grace the pages of U.S. Vogue?
The pop diva sat between Anna Wintour, the magazine’s editor in chief, and Sally Singer, its digital creative director, at the Dior couture show in Paris on Monday. Later that day, she took in the Giambattista Valli display, flanked by Singer and Hamish Bowles, international editor at large of U.S. Vogue.
Her stylist, Law Roach, was tight-lipped about whether a collaboration could be in the works. “Well, I hope so!” he said at the Valli show.
Dion is on a European tour, with several concerts scheduled in Paris this week. “I styled just one look from the tour wardrobe this season. I did the Zac Posen, the dress that was once in the Met Gala,” said Roach, referring to a glow-in-the-dark gown originally worn by Claire Danes in 2016. “It’s for ‘My Heart Will Go On’ — it’s the piece of the show.”
Roach has worked with the performer since last year, when he caused a stir by dressing her in edgy labels like Off-White and Vetements. “It’s really organic with us. Nothing’s really planned out. We have fittings, lots of fittings, because we both enjoy it. She enjoys
