The celebrity designer, who passed away in 2014, has been selected by the US Postal Service to appear on 11 different stamps designed by art director Derry Noyes. “The new year is shaping up to be exceptional as the Postal Service continues to produce stamps that celebrate the people, events and cultural milestones that are unique to the history of our great nation,” said Mary-Anne Penner, U.S. Postal Service Director, Stamp Services, in a statement. De la Renta, who was born in the Dominican Republic but became a pioneer of the New York fashion scene, started his fashion career under the guidance of Cristóbal Balenciaga in Madrid, before moving to Lanvin in Paris.

Tommy Hilfiger transformed the New York catwalk into an ocean liner Monday, opening and closing his trans-Atlantic, voyage-inspired collection with model of the moment Gigi Hadid as snow fell outside. “Years back, in the '20s, the '30s, when the people would travel trans-Atlantic they would get dressed properly,” Hilfiger told AFP in a sneak preview of the collection ahead of the show. The models wearing his fall/winter 2016 collection strode the deck of the ocean liner, which pumped steam into the air through giant funnels against a night sky backdrop glittering stars.

It is perhaps unusual for a Japanese designer who speaks only Japanese to be so drawn to that particular corner of France, which is most famous abroad today for its worsening migrant crisis.
