Milan

CHRIS PINE HAD A MAKEOVER

Chris Pine turned up at the ZEGNA luxury menswear show in Milan along with Andrew Garfield and several handsome Italian actors -they were outside the location before the show started, posing for photos. Looks like Zegna offered them a deal they couldn’t refuse and they became walking ads for the label. It’s apparent that Chris had a total makeover because he never looked more refined. He is usually seen dashing around Los Feliz wearing baggy shorts or sweats with Birkenstocks, going to and from yoga classes, etc. Zegna not only dressed him but they blew out his hair and trimmed his usually scraggly beard. Those mint green linen pleated pants with the tan t-shirt make him look VERY Italian. Apparently the brown leather loafers hurt so he took them off. Watch for Chris’s next film  Poolman – he not only co-wrote it, he produced, directed, and stars in it!

MILAN ITALY IS INVADED BY SUPERTALL MODELS

As if they aren’t tall enough already, models are clomping up and down the streets of Milan in huge platform boots because it happens to be Fashion Week. Seems like it’s Fashion Week SOMEWHERE all the time these days! Irina Shayk (Kanye’s ex) and Stella Maxwell (Kristen Stewart’s ex) are turning heads while shopping between jobs in the city…

MILAN ACCESSORIES FOR MEN: FACEMASKS AND PLASTIC GLOVES

Milan designer Phillip Plein has decided that men will be wearing their possessions such as credit cards, cash etc across their bodies on a chain. And it’s not a bad idea to stash some rubber gloves and a face mask in those little boxes. Milan is under siege from coronavirus which has exploded in a nearby small town. Models and fashionistas are rushing to catch flights OUT of the city before worse things begin to happen…

IRINA SHAYK’S CATWALK RETURN MARRED BY CORONAVIRUS

Looks like Irina Shayk doesn’t want you to know how much fun she’s having in Milan during Fashion Week – she’s covering up on her last day. Irina’s been back at work modeling for all the shows in Europe and she’s happy to hang out with her friends again. No doubt her ex Bradley Cooper is at home babysitting their two year old daughter Lea. They’re sharing custody now so Irina can work again. The only drawback for Irina was the coronavirus scare in Milan that shut down some of the scheduled shows. Models left town in a hurry…

CELEBRITY WARNING: WHAT NOT TO WEAR IN MILAN

Whatever you do, don’t even THINK about wearing fur in the Via Monte Napoleone shopping district in Milan. Protesters called “vegan hyenas” were demonstrating in front of Dolce & Gabbana and they turned their attention to any shoppers walking by wearing so much as a fur collar! Shouting protestors flashed their “blood” covered bodies to illustrate how animals are skinned so wealthy people can adorn themselves. No wonder Bloomingdale’s just closed their fur department here in LA…

ITALIAN MENSWEAR IS SUDDENLY A LOT MORE PLAYFUL

Some fashion shows are impossible to resist. Milan is presenting their menswear collections and the competition to be most original and edgy is at an all-time HIGH. Here’s an example of Magliano’s fall and winter 2020 collection for men! The not-so-typical model is wearing a framed painting on a chain around his neck and gloves attached to his belt. Note the strange waistline on the pants. Fun to look at.. It seems Milan is trying to catch up to Japanese fashion…

KAIA GERBER IS ALREADY A BIG MONEY-MAKER

Kaia Gerber, 16, already looks like an old pro as she is escorted into the Alberta Ferretti show at Fashion Week in in Milan. Last year her mother Cindy Crawford did the Milan shows with her, but this year she’s on her own. Almost alone – she arrived in Milan with a friend. Kaia was such a hit on all the runways last year that she’s been invited back to do a lot of shows. With print jobs and so many Fashion Weeks in so many cities, she’s earning quite a bit of money for a high school Junior. Hopefully she won’t be too distracted to go to college…

ASAP ROCKY IS NOT LIKELY TO DROWN IN MILAN

Rapper ASAP Rocky is in Italy’s fashion capital, Milan, with his entourage for fashion week and he turned heads in the famous shopping district with this bright yellow attention grabbing outfit. He looks like he’s a non-swimmer on his way to a yacht party in that “inflatable” puffy vest. He’s wearing his favorite $2600.00 Gucci sweatshirt underneath. Yes – that’s what a Gucci hoody costs! Rocky is a nice looking guy (in our opinion without his grill) and he loves fashion, but nobody gets it right ALL the time…

FERGIE AND JOSH DUHAMEL: A SECOND HONEYMOON?

Looks like Fergie and Josh Duhamel have put all their problems behind them. Last year a stripper accused Josh of cheating with her but since the appalling revelations about Tiger Woods and Jesse James have come out, the charges against Josh didn’t seem so bad. Fergie’s realistic and she wants to keep her marriage together. She’s currently touring in Europe and makes sure there’s romantic time to spend with her husband. Above, they’re in the fashion capital of Italy – Milan.
