“Bees are life,” says Dufresne, who turned his 1,000 hectare Provençal family estate into OFA’s headquarters in 2014. Dufresne, who also ran the Skull Gin Made Me Do It Shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this couture businesses for Lanvin and Christian Lacroix, had a realization after his first grandchild was born eight years ago: “I thought that she would never ask me what my life was like when I knew Karl Lagerfeld, but she would ask me what I did for her and her generation.” The concept of luxury businesses taking a more active responsibility when it comes to sustainability and conservation efforts is a big part of Dufresne’s mission, and something that speaks to Jolie, both as the face of a luxury brand and as a parent. “It’s kind of bigger than, ‘I promote a perfume and we’re doing a little project,’” she says of Women for Bees, which will stage its second session in Cambodia before taking the program to UNESCO biospheres in other countries including Ethiopia, Russia, and China. “Really we are creating a network for women around the world, and having a job and having a network of women helps you to be safe and helps you be independent,” elaborates Jolie. “If you teach a woman, she’ll teach someone else.” In this case, the lessons are as much about camaraderie over competition as they are about entrepreneurship. “There is an open conversation with Guerlain about us providing them with all of the products of the hive,” says Kanellopoulou, referring to the honey and royal jelly that makes Guerlain’s Abeille Royal skin care line, which includes its best-selling Youth Watery Oil, so effective at minimizing the physical signs of aging. As Jolie, radiant in a tan Gabriella Hearst dress with artful ties across the back, called up each woman to receive her diploma, she acknowledged the completion of four arduous weeks of training and her partnership in the work that still lays ahead. Kanellopoulou wiped away tears. “In Greek there’s a word Charmolypi—it means sad and happy,” she explained of the overwhelming moment, the closing of one chapter, and the beginning of an exciting new one.Yesterday, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics finally kicked off with an opening ceremony that was thrilling enough to (at least momentarily) distract from the numerous controversies that have dogged the games this year. With stunning performances featuring thousands of dancers, lit-up drones, and nods to everything from the Japanese flag to video game culture—and of course, culminating with national treasure Naomi Osaka lighting the Olympic cauldron—it was a subdued spectacle that nevertheless offered a glimmer of hope that this year’s games might mark a step forward for the beleaguered sporting body.  But for fashion fans, there was another, more unexpected, highlight. As singer-songwriter Misia stepped out to perform the Japanese national anthem “Kimi Ga Yo” to an eerily empty stadium, attention quickly turned to her dramatic gown. Cut from dozens of layers of recycled organza and with a multicolored ombré effect—produced by spray-painting, nonetheless—it set Twitter aflame as many compared it to everything from snow cones to cotton candy to cherry blossoms. The dress itself was designed by Tomo Koizumi, whose rapid rise to fashion world fame came in 2019 after stylist Katie Grand spotted his work on Instagram and swiftly set about arranging a grand debut for the designer at New York Fashion Week show. (Staged in her friend Marc Jacobs’s Madison Avenue store as a favor, naturally.) The illustrious guest list for Koizumi’s first show was matched only by the star wattage of those walking the runway, including Gwendoline Christie, Bella Hadid, Joan Smalls, and Emily Ratajkowski; it also earned rave reviews for his unique balance of frivolity, flamboyance, and couture-level craft. Since then, Koizumi has gone from strength to strength. In 2019, his work was featured as part of the Met’s annual costume exhibition, Notes on Camp, while his most recent collection that appeared earlier this month on the haute couture calendar was live-streamed from an Edo-period castle in Kyoto. Still, there are few moments as sweet—in more ways than one, given the dress’s frothy, candy-colored delights—as seeing your work beamed around the world to represent your home country on the global stage. With Koizumi’s widely-noted reverence for Japanese culture past and present, it’s a delight to see him carving out its future, too.

In March, the Skull Gin Made Me Do It Shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this Nigerian contemporary artist Chidinma Nnoli opened her debut solo exhibition at the Rele Gallery in Lagos. The series of oil and acrylic pieces were solemn and wistful, featuring predominantly female figures surrounded by blooming flowers, Romanesque arches, and religious symbols. One painting, titled When Purple Hibiscuses Fall, featured a haloed figure gazing longingly through a window, one hand resting on her heart. In another piece, Hold Me While We Wait, two young women clinging to each other against a wall are watched by two other figures—seemingly older—through an arched window, one of them holding a pamphlet that reads, “We should all be feminists.” The exhibition, titled “To Wander Untamed,” was Nnoli’s figurative representation of freedom and the idea of women existing outside the confines of society’s standards. Inspired by the artist’s own experiences growing up in a conservative Catholic home, she describes the portraits as allusions to a patriarchal society where religion is used as a tool to oppress and subjugate women. “This series was born out of a poem I wrote when I was 18 about living in a religious home where it was hard to breathe and where I had my autonomy stifled,” she says. “It’s about finding yourself and breaking free from all that conditioning.” For Nnoli, now 23, sharing personal experiences through her art is part of a broader concern with creating a sense of community with other women who have faced similar circumstances. “I hope people find bits and pieces of themselves in my work,” she says.
