By Umberto Bacchi LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Women's rights activists in Georgia have urged the country's Olympic Committee to pick a more liberal design for its female athletes, criticizing the official outfits for next month's opening ceremony at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games as archaic. Inspired by the national costume, the outfit has been a major talking point in the former Soviet republic over the past few days, with many taking to social media to complain it projected the wrong image of the nation abroad. “It's very archaic and conservative,” said Baia Pataraia from the Georgian Women Movement.

Think tiger-print jersey rollneck tops and matching high-waisted leggings, jacquard knitted tiger-sock boots and long black leather gloves with pink logo rubber print spelling out the words 'Kenzo' and 'Paris'. The looks are modeled by a new group of Kenzo x H&M ambassadors — a group of young creatives and activists that include Amy Sall, the founder of SUNU: Journal of African Affairs, Critical Thought + Aesthetics, and Juliana Huxtable, an artist, poet and DJ. H&M's red hot high fashion collaborations have traditionally been wildly successful.

The rapper and designer has been unveiled as the star of the label's new fall campaign, alongside supermodel Joan Smalls. The house took to Instagram to announce the news, posting a black and white image of West and Smalls in a dramatic balletic pose. Smalls sports a pair of ruffled trousers and a cropped top, while West is captured in the ripped jeans and embellished jacket combination he debuted on the red carpet of the MET Ball back in May. The shot is accompanied by the caption 'The ♯BalmainArmy is back'.
Singers Elton John and Lily Allen have also handed over their denims to the American artist and designer Johny Dar to transform and then auction them off for the International Committee for Refugees (ICR). Within hours of the jeans going up on the online auction site Catawiki, someone had already bid 5,000 euros ($5,500) for Stone's, while the multicoloured makeover of the singer Pink's jeans had reached 3,000 euros Tuesday. “The world refugee crisis has had an impact on everyone,” said the designer Dar, adding that the online auction would close in October.
