Rei Kawakubo redefines men's suits with radical designs at Paris Fashion Week
PARIS (AP) — Rei Kawakubo, the ever-restless force behind Comme des Garçons, delivered a characteristically unpredictable twist on men's tailoring, dismantling the traditional suit and remaking it in her own radical image. Titled 'Not Suits, But Suits,' the Paris Fashion Week show had models striding through a packed, overheated concrete venue Friday evening in looks that both nodded to and defied the idea of formalwear. Classic suit elements, jackets, lapels, pressed trousers, were reimagined with sharp, architectural interventions: bulging hips, layered or panniered silhouettes, and unexpected splashes of color. Some jackets appeared as if spliced apart and reassembled, while skinny pants revealed hidden panels and bursts of pattern through carefully placed zippers. Layering abounded, with cropped jackets stacked over pleated shirting, kilts and shorts. Knitwear was shredded and reconstructed, echoing a sense of disorder within the tailored frame. Accessories pushed the eccentricity further — models wore oversized, multi-brimmed caps crafted from suiting fabrics, paired with long braided wigs and formal shoes. The collection evoked the need for something transformative in unsettled times. Its atmosphere only heightened the collection's message: in Kawakubo's world, the suit is not a uniform of conformity but a canvas for disruption.

Whitney Houston Scores Multiple New Platinum Hits
Whitney Houston earns double-digit new RIAA certifications, including platinum plaques for 'Count On ... More Me' and 'Run to You,' decades after their original releases. FRANCE - MAY 18: Whitney Houston Performs In Paris Bercy On May 18th, 1988 In Paris,France (Photo by Frederic REGLAIN/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) More than a decade after her passing, Whitney Houston continues to collect new awards and certifications for the music she left behind. People in the United States have not stopped listening to the legendary vocalist, and as more time passes, she racks up more honors. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) recently handed down double-digit new certifications to Houston's catalog, as both singles and one of the bestselling albums of all time added to their totals. Among that group, two of the late superstar's tracks became platinum wins for the first time, decades after their release. 'Count on Me' and 'Run to You' Go Platinum Both 'Count On Me,' a collaboration with CeCe Winans, and 'Run to You' are newly platinum songs by Houston. That means they have officially moved one million equivalent units throughout the years, between both sales and streaming activity. 'Run to You' was named a gold win after it hit half a million units in March 2019. 'Count On Me' had to wait much longer to double its sum and move from gold to platinum status. The duet with Winans was certified gold in 1996, so it took almost 30 years for it to shift another half-million copies. The Bodyguard and Waiting to Exhale's Smashes 'Run to You' served as the fourth official single from The Bodyguard soundtrack. It followed top 10 smashes 'I Will Always Love You,' 'I'm Every Woman,' and 'I Have Nothing,' becoming the last charting tune from that collection. Just a few years later, Houston was promoting the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack, which produced several other huge wins, including 'Count On Me.' Both were chart wins, but it's taken decades for them to become platinum successes. Whitney Houston's Other New RIAA Certifications Eight other songs by Houston earned new certifications from the RIAA at the same time as 'Run to You' and 'Count On Me.' 'I Will Always Love You' advanced to 11-times platinum after becoming a diamond smash in 2022. Houston is likely headed for another diamond win, as 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)' is now up to 8-times platinum, meaning it has moved eight million equivalent units. Other beloved songs from the superstar increased their totals, including 'I Have Nothing' (4-times platinum), 'Higher Love' with Kygo and 'How Will I Know' (both 3-times platinum), and 'Saving All My Love for You,' 'My Love Is Your Love,' and 'Heartbreak Hotel,' which all surged from platinum to double platinum.
