Back in September, Jean Paul Gaultier announced Ludovic de Saint Sernin as a guest designer. Following in the footsteps of Chitose Abe, Glenn Martens, Olivier Rousteing, Haider Ackermann, Julien Dossena, Simone Rocha, and Nicolas di Felice, LdSS was handpicked by the legendary French designer to design a couture collection. Today, during the Spring 2025 season of Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week, Ludovic (who launched his eponymous label in 2017) unveiled his long-awaited Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring 2025 collection. Ludovic ultimately reflected on Jean Paul Gaultier's early days at Hermès and instructed his cast of models to amp up the drama on the runway to each represent different characters. Entitled 'The Shipwreck', the lineup was packed with JPG's signature corsetry and nautical references.
'A parade of nothingness.' [brandon J pierre]
'They should have invited Dilara Findikoglu if they wanted cheap copies of Alexander McQueen's looks, at least she would have given us a better show than this parade of nothingness. This collection feels literally empty, there's no substance.' [perhydrol]
'Project Runway… the Jean Paul Gaultier challenge.' [helmutnotdead]
'It's impossible to hate on this diva. The collection wasn't as bad as I was expecting and I kinda wish I had an ounce of his confidence.' [Snejena Onopka]
'Ludovic de Saint Sernin is my guilty pleasure. I loved it. I didn't expect anything and yet I was impressed. This is a better Gaultier than what Simone Rocha did. I love that even though he did the Gaultier tropes, he explored some others side of Gaultier.' [Lola701]
'I'm not even going to lie. I loved it !!! I actually found the pieces beautiful and sexy without being the pornfest I was expecting. The modeling was good too from most of the models.' [Salvatore]

Times the Celebrity Death Rule of Threes Actually Happened

Much like the internet rule 34 (please don't ever look that up), online communities insist that bad things happen in threes, especially when it comes to celebrity deaths. You may think, 'There's no way this is an actual thing that happens. It's all coincidental!' Yes, it may be, but after doing a bit of research, we're pretty convinced. For all you skeptics out there, we have concrete proof — or rather, some pretty good examples — of the celebrity death rule of threes phenomenon. It's believed to have started when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper died in a plane crash together all the way back in 1959. Then, in 2018, Parts Unknown star Anthony Bourdain, fashion designer Kate Spade and The Goldbergs star Jackson Odell all died within mere days of one another; re-sparking the conversation about the death in threes even years later. Much like you will be once you click ahead to the examples we found, we were shocked to find how many times tragic celebrity deaths have happened in threes. A version of this article was originally published in June 2014. More from SheKnows These Kids Lost Their Celebrity Parents at a Young Age Best of SheKnows The Best Photos of Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne's Kids Growing Up Over the Years Everything We Know About Carolyn Bessette's Life Before JFK JR 29 Times Gisele Bündchen's Red Carpet Fashion Proved She's the Ultimate Supermodel Kelly Preston, Naya Rivera, Regis Philbin (July 2020) July 2020 was rife with tragedy, especially in Hollywood. On the 8th, everyone was so worried when it came out that Glee star Naya Rivera went missing during a boating trip with her son in Lake Piru, and then, in the following day, she was declared dead. Then, four days later, on the 12th, actress Kelly Preston died from breast cancer. Then, 12 days later, Regis Philbin died from heart disease. Kate Spade, Anthony Bourdain, Jackson Odell (June 2018) Early June 2018 was a rough one. To start, on June 5, designer Kate Spade died at 55 by suicide. She was found in her New York City apartment and left a suicide on June 8, it was announced Anthony Bourdain died at 61, also by suicide. He was found unresponsive by his friend in a French hotel.A few days later, on June 10, The Goldbergs actor Jackson Odell died at the age of 20. TMZ reported he was found 'unresponsive in a sober living home' and that there were 'no signs of foul play.' Prince, Chyna, Doris Roberts (April 2016) A few months after David Bowie's death rocked us, 2016 started to seem like the worst year for celebrity deaths yet. On April 17, 2016, we were saddened to hear that Doris Roberts, the lovably annoying mom on Everybody Loves Raymond, died in her sleep at age 90. Just a few days later on April 20, ex-WWE wrestler Chyna died at age 46 of an accidental drug overdose after taking sleeping pills. And one day later on April 21, fans everywhere were heartbroken to learn that Prince had met a similar fate — the music legend's shocking death at age 57 was ruled an accidental overdose. Tony Gwynn, Casey Kasem, Ruby Dee (June 2015) On June 11, 2015, Ruby Dee — beloved actress, writer and civil rights activist — died at her home in New York from natural causes. The legend, whose credits include A Raisin in the Sun and American Gangster, was 91. On June 15, radio icon Casey Kasem died in a Washington state hospital at the age of 82 from complications of Lewy body dementia. The inimitable host of the American Top 40 Countdown had been the center of a heated medical tug-of-war between his wife, Jean Kasem, and his children for several months preceding his death. The third celebrity death in less than a week, 'Mr. Padre' Tony Gwynn died unexpectedly when his heart stopped. The beloved baseball star was only 54 years old. Burt Young, Richard Roundtree, Matthew Perry (October 2023) Oscar-nominated actor and Rocky star Burt Young passed away on Oct 8, 2023 at 83. Then, on Oct 24, Richard Roundtree passed away from pancreatic cancer at 81. While many were still reeling, beloved Friends actor Matthew Perry suddenly passed away at the young age of 54 due to acute effects of ketamine on Oct 28, 2023. Elmore Leonard, Lee Thompson Young, Lisa Robin Kelly (August 2013) Lisa Robin Kelly, best known for her role as Laurie on That '70s Show, died in her sleep at t he age of 43 while in a rehabilitation facility on Aug. 14, 2013. A coroner later ruled that her death was a drug overdose. A few days later on Aug. 19, 29-year-old actor Lee Thompson Young was found dead in his Los Angeles, California, apartment after failing to show up for work on the Rizzoli & Isles set. The former star of Disney's The Famous Jett Jackson had committed suicide. On Aug. 20, Elmore Leonard — the great American novelist and screenwriter whom we have to thank for classics like Get Shorty, 3:10 to Yumaand even the current FX series Justified — died in his Detroit, Michigan, home at age 87 from stroke complications. Peaches Geldof, Mickey Rooney, John Pinette (April 2014) A stand-up comedian and actor widely known for his role in the Seinfeld series finale, John Pinette died on April 5, 2014. Pinette's personal doctor signed off on the 50-year-old's cause of death as pulmonary embolism. The following day, legend of the silver screen (and notorious ladies' man) Mickey Rooney died in his sleep from natural causes at the age of 93. On April 7, news of 25-year-old English journalist and television personality Peaches Geldof dismayed family, friends and fans, who found her death sudden and inexplicable. Sadly, a subsequent inquest into her death revealed that heroin likely played a large part in it. Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon (June 2009) Morbidly dubbed the 'Summer of Death,' the summer of 2009 saw the death of many notable figures in American pop culture. The rule of threes certainly seemed to be at play in June of that year, when game show host and announcer Ed McMahon died peacefully on June 23 at the age of 86. Two days later, Charlie's Angel stunner Farrah Fawcett succumbed to her battle with anal cancer at the age of 62. As the world still reeled from her death, news broke that the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, had died unexpectedly at the age of 50 years old. His doctor was later implicated in contributing to Jackson's death. Jane Birkin, Tony Bennett, Sinead O'Connor (July 2023) Legendary old Hollywood actress and singer Jane Birkin suddenly passed away at the age of 76 on July 16, 2023. Five days later, legendary pop and jazz singer Tony Bennett passed away on July 21, after a seven-year battle with Alzheimer's disease. Five days after that, 'Nothing Compares 2 U' singer Sinead O'Connor died of natural causes. Annette Funicello, Margaret Thatcher, Lilly Pulitzer (April 2013) Lilly Pulitzer, the fashion designer whose plucky Palm Beach-esque prints and bright colors perked up many a woman's life, died on April 7, 2013, at the age of 81. The following day, the world mourned the loss of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Nicknamed the Iron Lady, Thatcher remains an inspiration for political legacy. Later the same day, Annette Funicello died at a California hospital from complications due to multiple sclerosis. The 70-year-old was best known as one of the child stars of the original Mickey Mouse Club. David Bowie, Alan Rickman, René Angélil (January 2016) What a start to 2016: In early January, family of legendary rock star David Bowie announced that he had lost an 18-month battle with cancer. Bowie's death was a huge shock to fans; Ziggy Stardust had stayed out of the limelight in recent years and kept his cancer battle a secret. Not even a week later, Harry Potter fans were devastated to learn that Alan Rickman, famous for his role as Professor Severus Snape, had died, also from cancer. Later the same day, reps for singer Céline Dion announced that her husband, René Angélil, had died from his own battle with cancer. Alan Thicke, George Michael, Carrie Fisher (December 2016) 2016: the year that took so many of our beloved celebs.

Family members said she was stable before her unexpected death was announced on Dec. 27. Rik Mayall, Don Zimmer, Ann B. Davis (June 2014) The first 10 days of June 2014 was rough. In the first day, Brady Bunch star Ann B. Davis died after a subdural hematoma from a fall in her bathroom. Baseball legend Don Zimmer died from heart and kidney problems on June 4, 2014 at the age of 83. Then, five days later, comedian Rik Mayall tragically died from a sudden heart attack on June 9, 2014 at the age of 56. Olivia Newton-John, Charlbi Dean, Anne Heche (August 2022) Beloved actress and songstress Olivia Newton-John died from breast cancer on Aug 8, 2022, sending Hollywood into mourning.

Ozzy Osbourne, Godfather of Heavy Metal, Dies at 76

Ozzy Osbourne, the pioneering heavy metal singer who rose to prominence in the early '70s with Black Sabbath before establishing a successful solo career and playing himself on reality TV, died Tuesday. He was 76. 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,' Osbourne's family confirmed in statement. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.'His death comes just 17 days after he played his final show in Birmingham, England on July 5, reuniting with Black Sabbath and joined by a star-studded roster including Metallica, Guns n' Roses and Steven Tyler, among others. More from The Hollywood Reporter Rose Leiman Goldemberg, Who Wrote 'The Burning Bed,' Starring Farrah Fawcett, Dies at 97 'Squid Game' Stars Byung Hun Lee and Yim Siwan to Make KCON L.A. 2025 Appearances Critic's Notebook: Ozzy Osbourne Created the Template for Reality TV Celebrity Reinvention, From Flavor Flav to Donald Trump Osbourne is known as one of the most influential artists of his generation, an instrumental force in establishing metal music. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Black Sabbath in 2006, then for a second time as a solo artist last year. He has sold more than 100 million records worldwide in total and was inducted into the U.K. Music Hall of Fame as both a solo artist and for his work in the band. Born Dec. 3, 1948, in Aston, West Midlands, U.K., Osbourne was the son of a toolmaker father and factory worker mom, with three older sisters and two younger brothers. He had the nickname 'Ozzy' since primary school. As he became a global star, he'd dawn another nickname, 'The Prince of Darkness.' Drawn to the stage in school, he became a huge fan of The Beatles at 14, crediting 'She Loves You' with inspiring him to want to be a musician. He left school at 15 to work construction, as a plumber, car factory horn-tuner and an apprentice tool-maker. He committed a series of petty crimes growing up and spent six weeks in prison after being found guilty of robbing a clothing shop and not paying the fine. In 1967, Geezer Butler formed the group Rare Breed and recruited Osbourne as vocalist before breaking up after two shows. The two reunited in Polka Tulk Blues, along with Mythology guitarist Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward, renaming themselves Earth, then Black Sabbath in August 1969 after a 1963 Italian-French horror film starring Boris Karloff. The group's approach was dark and gloomy, with Butler's nocturnal vision of a dark figure at the end of his bed inspiring the band's title track. Built around Iommi's thundering guitar, Butler's spooky lyrics, Ward's doomy drum beats and Osbourne's eerie caterwaul, the band's self-titled debut and second album, Paranoid, were both successes. Around this time, Osbourne met his future wife, Sharon Arden, leading to hiring her father, Don Arden, as their manager. Master of Reality was released in July 1971 and is widely regarded as providing the foundation of stoner rock and sludge metal. The album went on to sell more than 2 million copies and was the band's only Top 10 U.S. album until 13 in 2013. Osbourne was plagued by drug and alcohol abuse, including a failed marriage to Thelma Riley, which produced a daughter, Jessica, and son, Louis. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath followed in November 1973 and was dubbed by Rolling Stone 'an extraordinarily gripping affair … nothing less than a complete success.' Sabotage came out in July 1975, with Technical Ecstasy released in September 1976, as the positive reviews were replaced by criticism that the band was 'unravelling at an alarming rate,' noted. Osbourne left the band in 1979 to launch a solo project, Blizzard of Ozz, but he rejoined Sabbath after three months to write and record 'Never Say Die.' The subsequent tour did little to inspire, with his last appearance in that Sabbath era taking place Dec. 11, 1978, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. When they re-entered the studio, Osbourne's vocals were continually tweaked by Iommi, and he was eventually fired from Black Sabbath in April 1979, replaced by Rainbow's Ronnie James Dio. Signed to Don Arden's Jet Records, Osbourne began to be looked after by Arden's daughter Sharon in Los Angeles, where the two were married on July 4, 1982. The new incarnation of Blizzard of Ozz included Uriah Heep drummer Lee Kerslake, Rainbow bassist/lyricist Bob Daisley and keyboardist Don Airey and Quiet Riot guitarist Randy Rhoads. Their self-titled debut turned into a multiplatinum success. Osbourne's second album, Diary of a Madman, established Rhoads as a full-fledged star in his own right, with singles like 'Over the Mountain' and 'Flying High Again.' Eventually, drummer Tommy Aldridge and bassist Rudy Sarzo replaced Kerslake and Daisley. Rhoads died in an airplane accident in March 1982 while performing low passes over the band's tour bus, also killing the pilot (the band's tour bus driver, Andrew Aycock) and costume/makeup designer Rachel Youngblood. When the tour resumed, Bernie Torme replaced Rhoads and in turn was replaced by Night Ranger's Brad Gillis, culminating in the 1982 live album, Speak of the Devil. In 1983, new guitarist Jake E. Lee, who had played with Ratt and Rough Cutt, joined for Bark at the Moon, with the title track proving a fan favorite and helping the album go gold, eventually selling more than 3 million copies in the U.S. The Ultimate Sin followed in 1986, another double-platinum success. Jake E. Lee was out of the band in 1987 as Osbourne continued to struggle with addiction, making a cameo appearance in The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years. He discovered yet another star guitarist in Zakk Wylde for the album, No Rest for the Wicked, with a subsequent tour that saw Ozzy reunited with bassist Geezer Butler. In 1988, Osbourne performed a duet with Lita Ford on 'Close My Eyes Forever,' which reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Osbourne maintained his commercial success into the '90s with albums like 1991's No More Tears, which established him as a presence on MTV with songs like 'Mama, I'm Coming Home.' He received a Grammy Award for best metal performance for 'I Don't Want to Change The World,' a track from 1993's Live & Loud, which went four times platinum and was Top 10 on that year's Billboard Rock chart. Osbourne released Ozzmosis in 1995 and returned to the road on 'The Retirement Sucks Tour.' The album went to No. 4 on the Billboard 200, going double platinum, with tracks like 'Perry Mason,' 'Ghost Behind My Eyes,' 'Thunder Underground' and the power ballad 'See You on the Other Side' and a lineup that included Wylde, Butler, Steve Vai and drummer Deen Castronovo, with Yes' Rick Wakeman and producer Michael Beinhorn on keyboards. During this period, Ozzy and Sharon launched Ozzfest in October 1996 in Phoenix, a festival that spotlighted classic and newer heavy metal bands and went on to gross more than $100 million. It also spawned the 2005 MTV competition reality show Battle for Ozzfest, which followed the success of The Osbournes, the reality TV show that took viewers behind the scenes into the everyday life of Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and Jack, turning them all into household names during its 2002-05 run. Ozzy's 2001 solo album, Down to Earth, also went platinum and featured the Billboard Top 10 Mainstream Rock hit 'Dreamer.' In January 2003, the entire Osbourne family hosted the 30th annual American Music Awards. In December 2003, Ozzy was seriously injured after an accident with his all-terrain vehicle broke his collarbone, eight ribs and a neck vertebra. While recovering, he scored his first U.K. No. 1 single, a duet of the Black Sabbath ballad 'Changes' with daughter Kelly. 'Black Rain' was released in May 2007, followed by 'Scream' in April 2010 and the 2014 CD/DVD compilation, Memoirs of a Madman, which celebrated his solo career. He published his autobiography, I Am Ozzy, in 2009, which debuted at No. 2 on the New York Times best-seller list. A documentary about Ozzy's life and career, God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2011 and was released on DVD, produced by his son Jack. In 2011, at the West Hollywood club Whisky a Go Go, a Black Sabbath reunion was announced with the original lineup, though Rage Against the Machine's Brad Wilk stepped in for Bill Ward on drums after a contract dispute. The band played at the 02 Academy in their hometown of Birmingham in May 2012 and in June 2013, they released 13, produced by Rick Rubin, which debuted at No. 1 on both the U.K. and Billboard 200 album charts. Osbourne and Sabbath had one last legendary show this month, the Back to the Beginning Concert in Birmingham. There, the Prince of Darkness sat on a throne one final time, singing on hits like 'Crazy Train,' 'Iron Man' and 'Mama, I'm Coming Home.' Osbourne is survived by his wife, Sharon, their daughters Aimee and Kelly, and son Jack as well as a biological son, Louis John, an adopted son Elliot Kingsley and daughter Jessica Starshine, from his first marriage to Riley.

PARCO Taps Shanghai-Based Emerging Director Aj Duan for Autumn 2025 Campaign

For over 50 years,PARCOhas been a leading force in Japanese style and culture, not only as a major commercial institution, but the brand is also renowned for its richly imaginative and insightful campaigns. Continuing to welcome audiences into its world, PARCO now unveils the latest campaign for the Autumn 2025 season. She has an extensive portfolio that includes campaign visuals for distinguished fashion houses, including Hermès and Gucci. However, this collaboration with PARCO marks her first creative project for a Japanese company. The theme of the striking new campaign is 'echoes of self.' Expanding upon that theme, Duan explains her thoughts on the concept, 'The word 'echoes' has always resonated with me. It's a sound in a very uncertain state; you can never tell when the original sound began, because it's constantly reflecting, distorting and transforming. The phrase 'echoes of self' emerged as I was creating this campaign.' She continues, 'I believe that each of our 'selves' is composed of a multitude of voices, a variety of 'echoes.' Voices from the outside, the perspectives of others, and our own experiences all continuously influence and shape our self-perception, much like echoes. In an age that moves at a breathtaking pace and that is overflowing with information, I wanted to use the imagery of 'echoes' to express our search and contemplation for that ambiguous, yet certain, existence we call the 'self.'' The theme signifies not only a physical reverberation of sound, but a deep, internal resonance. This worldview was brought to life through the majestic backdrop of Izu Oshima island. The campaign depicts two individuals living in a modern society dominated by information overload and speed, as they confront the selves they're beginning to lose. Through their connection with nature, they rediscover their bond with the natural world and with themselves. The campaign also features sounds that we might not ordinarily notice, inviting the audience to experience a sharpening of the senses through the visuals and their auditory elements. The PARCO Autumn 2025 campaign, directed by Aj Duan, will launch Tuesday, July 22nd. Looking ahead, the Winter 2025 campaign is scheduled for release in mid-October.
