Tulie Yaito And Adidas Confirmed Announce Partnership

Designer Tulie Yaito’s partnership with Adidas has been a blossoming one. Recently, the designer was asked to do an editorial piece on the brand’s Confirmed app to highlight designers and creatives. To bring the editorial to life, Yaito curated a two-part event—a dinner and an afterparty in celebration of this budding partnership. The event was thrown at Richard Beavers Gallery in Soho, New York entitled “Winning Women.”

“When asked to curate the event, I was excited to have the guests experience Yaito’s universe. What was most important for me was being able to connect with the guests, shower them with gifts while giving them their flowers in real-time,” said Tulie in a statement to ESSENCE. “Championing each and everyone who took the time out to celebrate with us. The moment of the night was ‘Winning Women.’ Even though we’re celebrating our partnership, we were also celebrating the ‘Winning Women’ we are inspired by,” she added.

In Los Angeles, at the premiere of Netflix’s The Deliverance, actress Demi Singleton stunned on the red carpet in her fiery Miu Miu gown, The red dress embodied the brand to a T with youthful cutouts on a mature silhouette at her midriff. The diamond-clad closures at the cutouts made the look even more playful and were also featured at her sides. The thin straps accentuated her decolletage with a stunning neckline. As the dress touched the floor, we noticed her black pointed-toe pumps that added a luxe maturity to her youthful look.

Naomi Campbell Stars In The Latest Boss Fall/Winter 2024 Campaign 

Supermodel Naomi Campbell’s partnership with Boss is continuing with her being the star of the latest Fall/Winter 2024 campaign. She’s seen in sleek pieces from the collection including a fur coat, a crocodile textured skirt, and a button-down top. The simplicity of the pieces paired with the Boss touch of quality makes the campaign even more noteworthy. Other pieces in the collection like the pinstripe lapless suit she’s seen in evoke a business mindset and aesthetic that the brand is known for. As she says, “Be your own BOSS,” in the campaign video we can see she embodies this sentiment.
