PHILADELPHIA, October 21, 2024 (EntertainmentInterviews.com) – Urban Outfitters has announced an exclusive partnership with multi-platinum-certified singer, songwriter, and dancer Tinashe for a new lifestyle collection set to launch in 2025. The collaboration will highlight the intersection of fashion and dance, focusing on self-expression through movement, according to the company.

The collection, designed in partnership with Urban Outfitters’ in-house team, aims to represent the vibrant fashion within dance culture, extending beyond the studio to everyday life. Tinashe shared her inspiration for the collection, saying, “Growing up in a dance studio teaches you a lot about the intersection between exercise and fashion. I was always inspired by the way dancers would create their outfits... Dancers have always had the best personal style in my opinion, deconstructing elements that accentuate their movement.”

Tinashe explained her vision for the line, which includes pieces designed specifically for movement. "I've always wanted to bring that creative and free dancer energy to apparel. I'm excited to finally bring this idea to life by designing specific items that you can move in and feel more creative than sports bras and leggings”, she added.

Urban Outfitters President Shea Jensen noted the alignment between the brand’s mission and Tinashe’s vision. “Tinashe brings an unmatched energy and perspective that perfectly aligns with Urban Outfitters. Our mission is to fuel the next generation of individuality, and this partnership with Tinashe will continue to build that momentum,” Jensen said.

The collaboration is also tied to Tinashe’s Match My Freak World Tour, which began on October 14. Urban Outfitters will offer ticket giveaways through its UO Rewards program and host surprise store stops with curated looks inspired by the tour.

NEW YORK, September 4, 2024 (Entertainment Interviews) – Luxury footwear brand Stuart Weitzman premiered its latest campaign film, "How Lovely to Be a Woman," featuring global ambassadors Aly Raisman, Christy Turlington, Issa Rae, Lucy Liu, and Ming Xi. The campaign celebrates modern womanhood by exploring the multifaceted roles and pressures women face today while highlighting their confidence and strength.

The film’s soundtrack, a remake of the song "How Lovely to Be a Woman" from the 1963 musical Bye Bye Birdie, has been reinterpreted to reclaim the original lyrics as an anthem of empowerment. Directed by Matvey Fiks, the campaign blends Stuart Weitzman’s signature black-and-white imagery with documentary-style footage, showcasing the personal and professional lives of the five ambassadors.

Aly Raisman, an advocate for mental health and abuse prevention, is featured as she steps back into the gym in her role as a gymnastics analyst. "I hope people remember me for normalizing hard and taboo topics," Raisman said, reflecting on her continued work.

Christy Turlington, founder of the non-profit Every Mother Counts, discusses her focus on maternal health activism. "I like that the campaign is about women sharing our personal stories about what it means to each of us to be a strong, confident woman today by also living a life of purpose," she explained.

Issa Rae, known for breaking barriers in media, spoke about her priorities in the campaign: "Prioritizing and building my community and opening doors for others to do the same is very important to me."

Lucy Liu is portrayed balancing her roles as an actress, artist, and mother. "I hope to be remembered for living authentically, uplifting others, and using my platform to drive positive change," Liu said, highlighting her commitment to diversity and sparking meaningful conversations.

Ming Xi discusses the challenges of balancing motherhood with a global career, noting, "It can get hard to balance work and family especially since my children are still so small, but I power through to make it work. I believe women can do it all."

The campaign also highlights Stuart Weitzman’s iconic footwear collections, including the 5050 over-the-knee boot, the STUART 100 pump, and the NUDIST II sandal. The brand’s new EMERSON Capsule collection, featuring the EMERSON BUCKLE BOOT, is also introduced.

The film was screened at the Crosby Street Hotel in New York City on September 4, where Lucy Liu joined a discussion with Lydia Fenet, author of Claim Your Confidence. The event marks the launch of the "Stuart Weitzman Stand Strong Series: Conversations About the Pleasures and Pressures of Modern Womanhood."
