There are bigger things at hand! And yet the platform is seemingly desperate to get more people wearing clothes, launching the OnlyFans creative fashion fund – a Project Runway-style competition whereby first and second-place designers will be awarded $50,000 and $25,000 dollars. Having inaugurated a similar scheme for musicans last year, it’s the latest attempt to veer the platform away from its NSFW associations. Hosted by reality star Francesca Farago, the initiative will be documented as a television series on OnlyFans’ free video offshoot, and will be judged by stylists Law Roach, Maeve Reilly, and makeup artist Sir John. “OnlyFans is a creator-first platform and has always had a commitment to support its creators across a range of verticals,” CEO Ami Gan said. “This is one additional pulse point we’re giving our community around this sentiment.” In other fashion news, Matthieu Blazy’s debut at Bottega Veneta and Gucci closed the door on Milan Fashion Week, while Paris opened with a star-studded tribute show to Virgil Abloh. Elsewhere, the industry felt the increased pressure to express solidarity with the Ukrainian people, with an open letter demanding action from fashion houses and government officials alike. Otherwise, Nicki Minaj posed legs-splayed for Marc Jacobs’ Heaven, while a new exhibition sought to trace the contributions of Asian Americans within fashion.

But, thanks to the likes of Glenn Martens, a dominant trend has emerged: weird, twisted, and freakish denim.

They spoke good English, all the men looked so handsome and sophisticated, one was a big movie star in Italy,” he said of the debonair family from which the film (that has been compared to Dolmio adverts) drew inspiration. “It’s like they are telling something that is pretty strange.”view more + 5/8 5/8 Courtesy of GucciTOM FORD’S PUBES GET THEIR OWN T-SHIRTSupreme’s latest drop sees Gucci’s now-iconic image of Carmen Kass’ monogrammed pubes emblazoned on a t-shirt.

Having just launched her own jewellery business, and racked up experience at Tom Ford’s Yves Saint Laurent and Victoria Beckham, the designer is well positioned to bolster Blazy’s handsome, slightly off-kilter approach to fashion. view more + 7/8 7/8 YOU GET AN IPHONE, EVERYBODY GETS AN IPHONEEvery six months, designers and their PR teams are embroiled in a sinister battle over who can send out the most berserk invites and achieve newsfeed domination in the process.
