Call me Caitlyn…
Vanity Fair released its July cover today featuring Cailtyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner. The issue marks the first time Jenner is appearing as a woman before the public. Of the cover, Jenner said, “This shoot was about my life and who I am as a person. It’s not about the fanfare.” The magazine is set to hit newsstands June 9. [Vanity Fair]
Cara’s collab…
Cara Delevingne’s fourth collaboration for Mulberry has dropped, and as you can imagine, the range is as cool as the It Brit herself. The steel blue quilted nappa bag has the words “Made in England” embossed on the bottom, not only a description of the bag’s origins but also a nod to the tattoo Delevingne has on her foot. Many of the other pieces in the collection are adorned with lion rivets, inspired by the model’s lion tattoo. Delevingne explained, “I want there to be hidden gems inside based on things that are personal to me, which my tattoos definitely are.” [Mulberrry]
Familiar faces…
