Humberto Leon and Carol Lim set up an open-air movie theater in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris on Friday night for the premiere of their collaboration with American independent filmmaker Gregg Araki.

As temperatures sizzled late into the evening, guests including Rufus Wainwright, Simon Porte Jacquemus, Gildas Loaec, Joana Preiss, Grace Bol, Lily McMenamy and Toilet Paper founders Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari gathered to enjoy burgers and beers at the pre-Fourth of July bash.

“Carol and I are huge movie buffs and for me, Gregg is, like, up there with the best of the best,” said Leon, explaining how the short film came about.

“We always kind of give people different entry points into the brand, and I think it’s exciting that some kid in the middle of nowhere is a Gregg Araki fan and is going to watch this, and I think that it’s interesting, because then he or she might say, ‘Oh, what is Kenzo?’” the designer explained.

“Here Now” features a cast of young actors including Jacob Artist, Jane Levy, Grace Victoria Cox, Jake Weary and Avan Jogia. The film also stars Nicole Laliberte, who appeared in Araki’s 2010 film “Kaboom.”

“One of my favorite things about filmmaking is casting. I love discovering new people and working with rising stars,” said Araki. “One of the saddest things about this movie to me is just that we only shot a day and then it was over, because I wanted it to sort of go on.”

It was the director’s first time working with a fashion brand. “I could see how their sensibility very much sort of was on the same wavelength as mine, and so it was kind of pretty easy,” he noted. “My fans tend to be so loyal and they’re so passionate, and so I kind of made the movie as a little love letter to them.”

As guests gathered to watch the film on a giant screen, Araki chatted up a storm with Brady Corbet, who is putting the finishing touches to his directorial debut, “The Childhood of a Leader,” starring Robert Pattinson, Stacy Martin and Bérénice Bejo. Before anyone asks, the feature is not about Adolf Hitler or Benito Mussolini.

“The entire film is a kind of fable set around the weaknesses of the Treaty of Versailles, which is a very particular subject. But the film takes a lot of poetic license. It starts off in a place that is very correct and accurate in terms of the history, and then at a certain point, decisively takes a dive into a virtual history,” he explained.

“It’s a very, very ambitious art project and so everything that’s great about it is also what’s been very painful to make happen,” Corbet added, noting that the movie features a grand orchestral score by musician Scott Walker and should be ready by the end of the year.

Rad Hourani is finding that combining his passions for fashion and art involves the occasional hiccup: The Canadian designer was forced to cancel his couture show this season. “I wanted to do something in a theater and in the end, it didn’t work out with the actors, but it’s going to be a movie that I will preview in January,” he said.

“I’m no longer really interested in seeing models walk down a catwalk. I find it really boring,” explained Hourani, who will stage his first solo contemporary art show at the Arsenal in Montreal in November.

In the six years since Liya Kebede launched Lemlem, the supermodel has brought traditional Ethiopian textiles to a whole new audience. The company, which operates with the goal of providing sustainable jobs for local weavers, has succeeded in the ethical fashion market, offering customers exquisite handcrafted wares and the knowledge that their purchases are making a difference. This month, Kebede debuts an expansive collaboration with Anthropologie that serves to broaden Lemlem’s audience even further. With proceeds going to benefit maternal health in developing nations and a new array of products for the home, the capsule proved exciting for Kebede as a designer and humanitarian.

How did this home goods partnership with Anthropologie begin?

The classic Lemlem stripes and colors have always made sense as home goods. When Anthropologie approached us with an opportunity to see our stripes in the bedroom, bathroom, dining room, and beyond, it was a

no-brainer that this could be a really fun collaboration!

What would you say is the spirit of this capsule collection?

The collection is all about color. We wanted this capsule collection to epitomize summer—sunny and bright happy colors. Perfect for any beach home.

The capsule expands Lemlem into several new categories—which proved the most challenging?

We have three candles in the collection. I was so excited about the idea of our own unique scent, but I was surprised by how hard it is to find the right fragrance. In the end, we picked three really beautiful options that take me home to Addis Ababa.

How did you merge the Lemlem aesthetic with that of Anthropologie?

We pitched a few different motifs to Anthropologie and together decided what made the most sense for its customer. Anthropologie is feminine and adventurous, so we were not surprised at all with the direction the store wanted to take.

What is the most rewarding side of your role as the designer of Lemlem?

While we are all about making beautiful clothes, the goal behind Lemlem is to create sustainable jobs for weavers at our workshop in Ethiopia. Helping to provide a steady income for men and women in Ethiopia is definitely the most rewarding part of this work.

With great fashion comes great productivity.

There is more to fashion than looking good, and that is feeling good. To look aesthetically presentable is one thing, but to feel better about the way you carry yourself is totally another. A true, classy fashion sense transcends from the outside to the more essential components inside.

With Dockers’ Signature On-The-Go, fashion comes with a function. Wearing simple yet smart-looking Dockers pants in the office makes a modern gentleman feel more comfortable about himself and his craft, which makes one a more efficient worker. Feeling good is the first step to better productivity.

Dockers has always stood for a laid-back and effortless style and confidence stitched together with the right fit, fabric and design. And there’s no better product to embody these ideals than the Signature On-The-Go, because excellence doesn’t have to try so hard.

But while Dockers maintains its signature look that made it the leading khaki brand, it does not stop reinventing styles tailor-fitted for the changing needs of the modern, on-the-go man. Since introducing “Casual Friday” almost 30 years ago, Dockers has never been passive in incorporating innovation to its staples, making sure that “what to wear” does not add more worries of the on-the-go guy.

Beating style monotony with continued innovation and refined aesthetics, Dockers continues to change the way people carry themselves out there in a competitive world. You are what you wear. And with Dockers, you wear nothing but effortless confidence that comes with free-flowing productivity.
