"These people are my family," said the designer. "They have always believed in me. They are very faithful to me. Faithfulness and love are the most amazing things in what I want to do. I think it is a moment of history for me in fashion for my own gang." Agreed. But wait, where's Frank Ocean in this family affair?

Called Dumbass, hilariously, the "single" is the first from his forthcoming album, The Divine Comedy, due out June 22. We use quotation marks liberally because nothing about the song or its video can be compared to a Western-style commercial venture. Which is to say, it's rather excruciating stuff, but cut him some slack — he's not Psy and this isn't K-pop.

The music is composed by Ai Weiwei's friend, the guitarist Zuoxiao Zuzhou, while the cinematographer and Wong Kar-wai collaborator Christopher Doyle filmed the video in Ai Weiwei's studio. The idea was to recreate, to a high level of accuracy, the prison cell where he was held, down to the uncomfortable shower scenes. Later scenes are, reportedly, artistic interpretations; namely, an inflatable sex doll, lingerie-clad strippers and crabs in his toilet.

The song and video can also be found on Ai Weiwei's website.

$130-140 at the Dover Street Market website (May 28), the Comme des Garçons store in NYC (May 28), Paris and London (June 1), Tokyo and throughout Asia (June 21)

The Ultimate Gold Collection Fashion Show on May 23, curated by Carine Roitfeld, will showcase the likes of Karlie Kloss, Alessandra Ambrosio, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Lily Donaldson in custom-made golden—and, in some cases, gold—outfits. The precious models will don gowns, some of them literally worth their weight in gold, by a cast of luxury labels including Chanel, Burberry, Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford, Armani and Dolce & Gabbana, as well as one-of-a-kind jewels by Bulgari, Hoorsenbuhs, House of Waris, and Kimberly McDonald.

The event, held during the Cannes Film Festival on May 23, is part of the Cinema Against AIDS charity to benefit amfAR, sponsored by and live-streamed on LoveGold. Although it isn't likely anything to walk down the runway will look quite like this mock-up of a size 0 Elizabeth Taylor—to whom the show is a tribute, despite her association another kind of bling—dripping in Roberto Cavalli and Chanel, or Richard Burton in a severely drop-crotched pants.

However, since it got us to watch the trailer (below), it seems to have done the job. As far as we can tell, the plot follows a group neo-nerd comedians—Michael Cera, Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill—who play stoned, munchies-addled versions of themselves (so probably not actually acting) while aliens invade, cities burns, and Emma Watson kicks ass.

The calm, colorful, joyful collection couldn't have been more at odds with the foreboding view of a stormy Mediterranean Sea. Yet Simons sent out signature Bar jackets, jaunty skirts, and flouncy dresses over slacks, as he since becoming artistic director, but here much sportier and springier. His color palette was broadened to include summery yellows, pinks, and royal blues. And, for the first time, he showed lace—layers and layers of multi-colored lace.

The choice of Monaco was no accident. Stars including Marion Cotillard and Jessica Biel had only to make the short trip from Cannes, where Dior has also been busy dressing a multitude of actresses on the red carpet. Following the show, it was off to the Oceanographic Museum, where Prince Albert and his wife, Princess Charlene of Monaco, held a reception showcasing the many courtly pieces—many of them Dior—worn by his mother, Grace Kelly.
