Nicolas Cage stars as... Nick Cage in the action-comedy. Creatively unfulfilled and facing financial ruin, the fictionalized version of Cage must accept a $1 million offer to attend the birthday of a dangerous superfan, Pedro Pascal. Things take a wildly unexpected turn when Cage is recruited by a CIA operative Tiffany Haddish and forced to live up to his own legend, channeling his most iconic and beloved on-screen characters in order to save himself and his loved ones. With a career built for this very moment, the seminal award-winning actor must take on the role of a lifetime: Nick Cage.

In his first runway show since 2019, Ralph Lauren took over a corner of the Museum of Modern Art to create a warm living room setting for his fall-winter 2022 show. Bader Content Studios NYC admired how smooth and easy feeling the evening was.
The entrance show foyer was decorated with framed photographs of Ralph, his vintage car collection and the Empire State Building.
The Lauren children; Andrew, David and Dylan were the first to arrive and soon greeted Jessica Chastain, who’s up for best actress at this Sunday's Oscar Awards, posed with the Lauren family and was soon followed by a tuxedo-clad Lily Collins and her director husband Charlie McDowell.

March 2022 - Paris, France - At the sprawling La Défense venue, which is one the largest in Europe, Matthew M. Williams’s second runway presentation for the luxury house, seemed more focused and to the point that in the past.
Bader Studios Europe was on the media riser to see the street wear collection unveiled with the mindset to be seen and purchased on the spot which is the theme of these shows.
As a former creative director in the music industry, Williams expresses himself by using music videos inside concert venues, where he feels he connects better with his audience
“It’s just about today. My work is really instinctual,” Williams said. He made that point clear by wearing black fabric gloves backstage and for his bow on stage. “With Covid, people have been wearing masks, so I’ve been exploring these balaclavas and gloves for that reason. It’s almost a new archetype people are using in their daily lives. In America, a lot of the kids of friends I know wear them.”
Williams went on to say, “I really wanted to create a synthesis of powerful, sophisticated femininity, with an interplay of multiple American and Parisian influences, sports and craftsmanship. Next to her stands a contemporary man with an instinct for chic nonchalance. On the runway, both are grounded by a sense of reality.”
What caught our eye with the collection was the introduction of the TK 360 sneaker, which helps build Givenchy’s growing footwear lineup. The shoe expresses a dress form dressed with sporty feel encouraging the possibilities of the entire shoe collection.
