LACMA Art+Film Gala announces 2021 honorees, to be presented by Gucci

The worlds of art and film are colliding once again—the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has announced the honorees of its 10th annual gala, to be held on November 6 at a venue yet to be determined. The honorees include portrait artists Amy Sherald and Kehinde Wiley—who’ve been commissioned for portraits of both Barack and Michelle Obama—as well as esteemed filmmaker Steven Spielberg. In continuation of its partnership with the art museum, Gucci will sponsor the event, whilst celebrating an anniversary of its own: its centennial! Following the event, which has been championed and co-chaired by Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio since its commencement in 2011, the Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama and Barack Obama paintings by Sherald and Wiley, respectively, will be on display at The Obama Portraits Tour from November 7 to January 2. As previously reported, Gucci will also host a fashion show in conjunction with the event.

Marc Jacobs has some news…

Designer and master #OOTD Instagram poster Marc Jacobs took to his favorite social media platform earlier today to post a surprise photo-op. Instead of his typical mirror selfies, Jacobs posed in a surgical head wrap and a medical mask, with his signature pouted lip and side-facing profile face underneath. The occasion? A facelift, it seems. Jacobs even captioned the post “#f*ckgravity.”Watch this space!

Malone Souliers debuts first sneaker collection

Marking luxury footwear brand Malone Souliers’ anticipated foray into the sneaker category, the Fall Winter 2021 offering includes a chic collection of two sneaker styles for men and women. Though the venture is new, the brand was sure to keep its signature Italian craftsmanship and, of course, signature decorative straps top of mind. The Deon styles features two stripes—one across the toe and one that runs along the shoe’s upper body—while The Musa boasts a single stripe and appliqué on its side. As far as coloring goes, the shoes come in an adaptable palette, with women’s styles offered in neutrals and light metallic leathers, and men’s in natural suede and leather hues. Currently available for purchase on MaloneSouliers.com, the styles run for $495.
