Rihanna And Her Son Arrive To Milan Fashion Week

by

Celebs have been frolicking to Milan for their ever-anticipated Fall/Winter 2023/24 Fashion Week, including Coi Leray and A$AP Rocky. Another notable attendee is slated Oscar performer Rihanna, who arrived on Thursday (Feb. 23) with her son in tow. The new mom was spotted in the Italian city as she hopped off her private jet at Malpensa Airport. Paparazzi immediately took to her little boy, who Rih and father A$AP Rocky recently revealed in their British Vogue cover story.

Clad in all-black, the soon-to-be mother of two breezed through the airport cradling her son, dressed in a brown teddy. This is his first-ever public appearance, with surely more to follow as they trip overseas. After the release of her Vogue issue, Rih Rih posted photos of the chunky-cheeked baby on her Instagram page to the joy of all. She even sparked outrage with the images after proclaiming “My boy is so fine!” in one of the captions. His actual name, however, has yet to be revealed, to the dismay of fans and spectators alike.

The Barbadian beauty seemingly revealed her latest pregnancy during her unforgettable Super Bowl LVII Halftime performance earlier this month. Moments after, reps for the star went on to confirm the exciting news. Rihanna—who recently celebrated her 35th birthday—reportedly began dating A$AP Rocky in 2020. The two are rumored to be planning their wedding, with the ceremony being held in her home country. “Throwing a wedding and having another baby are Rihanna’s main focus at the moment,” sources told RadarOnline.

Rihanna fans were in disarray in regards to the pregnancy news, with many believing she’ll now be giving up music completely. However, fans of the “Lift Me Up” singer will be delighted to hear she plans to release an album sooner than later. In Vogue, Rih tells the writer “it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year. But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos.” Further in the article, she adds that she was waiting for the right time to drop but later decided against her initial thought. It has now been over seven years since Rihanna’s last full-length offering, her eighth studio album ANTI.

Coi Leray Poses With Condoms During Milan Fashion Week

by

Billboard climber Coi Leray is known as one of the most viral newcomers in the game. From TikTok to the Gram and back, the 25-year-old continually teases her viewers with new music, thirst traps, and new trends daily. Her latest set of pics out of Milan, Italy has certainly kept the momentum going. Coi took a trip overseas for the cities’ Fashion Week, and her Diesel ensemble undoubtedly stole the show.

While at the Diesel Womenswear Fall/Winter 2023/24 fashion show today, the “Wasted” rapper/singer posed for a few racy pics. Decked out in the designer from head to toe, two photos show the artist covering her nipples with Durex condoms. Coi Leray was able to snag a couple from Diesel’s Durex mountain, which sat in the middle of their runway. She went on to post more photos from the event on her Instagram Story. Designer Glenn Martens explained the meaning behind the sex-fueled collection to Vogue in a recent interview.

Coi Leray Turns Heads At Diesel Fashion Show

Pre-show, Martens tells them “Successful living is about being sex-positive, having fun, enjoying life, and also being respectful and safe. Plus we are a very cheeky, straightforward brand.” The show was complete with eccentric moans blaring from the speakers, and an apparent 200,000 boxes worth of Durex goodies. In an Instagram post, Martens announced “free condoms for everyone” will be available at Diesel stores worldwide this April.

About an hour before Coi Leray unleashed the photos, she baited people to her latest song post wearing next to nothing. The new music in question comes from her and Big Boss Vette, who’s set to feature Coi on the remix to “Pretty Girls Walk.” In the teaser she raps “You can talk about me but it’s gon’ make me richer / Tell ‘em bring the bottles I’ma need some more liquor / Pink lemon drop ‘42 what I’m sippin’ / Super slim waist, yeah he like how it’s sittin’ / Eat the p***y up, I just came out the kitchen / You can tell by my walk that this kitty hit different.” The two plan to drop the track next Friday, March 3rd. Coi Leray is also celebrating her highest-ranked Billboard track today, with “Players” coming in at No. 22.

Gucci to Open Milan Men’s Fashion Week in January

Gucci is set to present the first stand-alone men’s collection in three years and the first lineup since the departure of creative director, Alessandro Michele. The show is set to take place just after the holidays at Pitti Uomo in Florence and then in Milan. Men’s fashion week runs from January 13th to January 17th.

The five-day event includes 72 events comprised of 21 runway shows and 31 presentations. Gucci is perhaps the most highly anticipated live show, which will open the season at 2 p.m. CET. The show will represent Gucci’s first exclusively men’s collection following  three years of coed runways. Though the brand has not yet named a new creative director, the bar remains high.

Italian fashion week is forecasted to reach a turnover of 96.6 billion euros this year, up 16 percent compared to 2021. This is a 4 percent increase against  previous estimates of a 12 percent increase year-on-year. Inflation has certainly played a role in fueling revenue growth as prices of end products have increased only 3 percent, entailing that the 16 percent gain in 2022 sales is to be attributed to growing volumes of fashion goods. However, 2023 predictions may read impractical due to volatility in the market and outside variables. 

U.S. exports have skyrocketed 54.1 percent in the first nine months of the year, comparable to China’s lower-than-expected growth in, which grew 18.8 percent. This deep dive into menswear, largely set in motion by Gucci’s stand-alone line is a new endeavor that holds great potential for fashion markets. Evolving, modifying, and experimenting with the fashion consumer is how many of fashion’s traditions are solidified.
