1. Jennifer Lopez’s Middle Eastern moment
And again, J.Lo hit the stage in yet another regional designer — one she’s never fronted before. For her first-ever show in North Africa, Jenny from the Block took to the stage a red custom-made studded design by local label Nagwa Zahran, whilst performing in Egypt’s El Alamein.
2. Farfetch buys Off-White licensee New Guards Group
Over the weekend, news emerged that Farfetch has acquired Milan-based New Guards Group – the company that licenses Off-White, Palm Angels and Heron Preston, for a staggering $675 million (approximately Dhs2.4 billion).
The much-loved streetwear label recently put out a statement to explain exactly how the brand will move forward. “OFF-WHITE LLC, which is controlled by Virgil Abloh, owns the trademark of our brand, and NGG is our exclusive licensee pursuant to a multi-year agreement. The New Guards Group transaction with Farfetch will not affect Off-White™ day to day operations as the New Guards Group team will become part of Farfetch. We look forward to our ongoing work together.”
So this means the Off-White we’ve all come to know and love, will remain the same.
3. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have called it quits
Boo! It’s been eight months since we saw Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth wed at their Tennessee home (where the bride wore a classic Vivienne Westwood gown) and now, it looks like the couple are breaking up just months after tying the knot — and no, no one is OK.
The Hannah Montana star confirmed the news to People after she was spotted without a wedding ring on Instagram: “Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time. Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers. They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy.”
