Bianca Censori, an architectural designer reportedly married to Kanye West, has shocked fans after modelling a risqué outfit for fashion brand Mowalola. The 27-year-old appeared in a post on Mowalola’s Instagram page wearing black thigh-high heels and black body tape in the shape of a cross that covers her crotch and derriere. A square of body tape also covers her breasts. Censori is rumoured to have married West, who is known as Ye, earlier this year in a non-legally binding ceremony. The couple first appeared in public together in January and were recently seen holding hands in California. The outfit, designed by former Yeezy employee Mowalola Ogunlesi, left fans feeling confused. “Why does she look like a SIMS 4 [non-player character]?” one person asked, referring to the popular life simulation video game. “Is this real life?” “Where is the fashion?” another critic demanded, while a third added: “It’s giving… Brazilian wax, but make it fashion.” Others joked that they would wear the design to church, with a fan writing: “Finally, been looking for a new church outfit.” It also gained approval from Julia Fox, known for her own risque style, who left a string of heart-eyed emojis under Mowalola’s Instagram post. However, others pointed out that the outfit appears at odds with Ye’s Christian faith, which he has publicly proclaimed in his music and interviews. “This doesn’t look very Christian,” one person said, while another agreed: “That ain’t Christ-like.” Censori, who was hired as an architectural designer for Ye’s company Yeezy in 2020, reportedly wed the Donda rapper in a private ceremony this year. The couple have not filed a marriage certificate. In November, Ye’s divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalised two years after they separated. The former couple have “equal access” to their three children, North, nine, Saint, seven, Chicago, five, and Psalm, four. Ye and Kardashian were married for nearly eight years before the SKIMS mogul filed for divorce in February 2021. Since splitting from the reality star, West has been romantically linked to Fox, social media star Chaney Jones, and model Irina Shayk.

While we might be most familiar with seeing Gordon Ramsay cooking up a storm in a galley, he says he loves to “get out of the kitchen and get my hands dirty”. That could explain why he’s filmed three series of Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted on National Geographic, giving him the opportunity to explore different experiences and dishes from all over the globe. From snacking on alpaca meat 11,000 feet above sea level in the Peruvian Andes, to eating fish curry in Kerala, south India, Ramsay, 56, has been on a culinary tour of the world. “I always love to get out of the kitchen and get my hands dirty,” he says. “It gives me time to embed into local food communities and get inspired.” In the series, Ramsay switches positions – in many of his previous shows, he’s the teacher, but he’s very much the student in Uncharted. He says this “definitely made me more humble, especially when the locals don’t love my dishes”, but ultimately “experience helps me become a better chef”. Now, the chef is releasing a cookbook-meets-travelogue as an accompaniment to the TV show, with the recipes reflecting the diversity of his travels. Dishes include spicy grilled lobster with coconut and breadfruit from Hawaii, chicken pepper pot from the jungles of Guyana, New Orleans-style BBQ shrimp and spice-rubbed steaks with pele pele sauce from South Africa. We chatted to Ramsay about his approach to travel and food… How important is it to have an open mind when travelling? “Having an open mind really helps you to bed in with the local community. For me, I get to better understand the importance of each dish and ingredient. “It really helped me to craft some of the incredible dishes at our final cooks and now this amazing book. And trust me, I’ve taken all that knowledge and used it in my dishes at my restaurants around the world.” How can adventure help you understand a region’s culture and cuisine better? “If you want to go off the beaten path, you’re not getting on the tube or M5 to get there. You have to have some adventure involved! And as I learned in Peru with the mango tree, some of the best ingredients come from being out of your comfort zone.” Has travel always been a part of your food ethos? “When I was a young chef, I wanted to have all the experience and knowledge to help me be the best. I wasn’t going to places like Laos or Tasmania, but I was travelling and taking in everything I could get from every city I went to. “I may not have been rappelling a cliff or diving while learning in France, but trust me, some of those kitchens were just as intense!” What dish in the book took the most effort to master? “I’d have to say the Pandi curry in India. I’ve made many curries in my time, but this one was truly unique since it used pork. I’ve been to India many times, but never to this region and getting in so in-depth with the local purveyors. “I learned so much from the curry – to the coffee liquor to those spicy pickled vegetables – that said, the biggest challenge for me during that trip had to be getting the ants we used for the ant curry out of my hair!” Did you fail at anything? “Of course I’ve failed. I’ve lost fires, burned protein, disappointed the locals – but I’ve always picked myself up and tweaked and finessed my mistakes. “Mistakes aren’t bad when it comes to cooking, it’s the perfect learning experience. So if you fail with any of the recipes, just learn and adjust and keep trying.” What was the most memorable destination you went to? “That’s so tough, that’s like choosing a favourite child. They were all so unique and beautiful, but I think Tasmania was really memorable to me. The culture of bartering and the incredible seafood really opened my eyes to the incredible bounty that island has.” What’s the biggest lesson you learned from filming Uncharted and writing the cookbook? “Resourcefulness and making sure that we only take what we need. Those principles are very similar to what we are running and doing in restaurants, use what you need, take what you need. And making sure it’s seasonality at its best.” ‘Gordon Ramsay’s Uncharted: A Culinary Adventure With 60 Recipes From Around The Globe’ (published by National Geographic, £25).

Italian fashion designer Giuliano Calza has called on shoppers to boycott Chinese fast fashion retailer Shein or “accept mediocrity”. The co-founder of streetwear label GCDS, which stands for “God Can’t Destroy Streetwear”, posted a statement on Instagram accusing the retailer of “stealing” his shoe design. Shein, which is known for selling cheap clothes, has been embroiled in numerous copyright infringement lawsuits by designers and artists over the years. Calza said that the retailer’s actions were “hurtful and abusive” and accused it of “stealing ideas, stealing sweat, stealing love and [months] of dedication and stealing the energy of making [sic] new ideas come to life”. He wrote: “Imagine them coming into your house or your mind and making your things, your dreams… THEIRS.” The designer also addressed shoppers who may complain his garments and accessories are “too expensive” and therefore they shop on Shein. “Because I respect humans, I respect hard work and workers, I use ethical way of productions and materials [sic],” he said, after earlier accusing the retailer of “killing the planet with… dehumanising policies that make [these] prices possible”. He posted screenshots of a pair of silver wedge heels on Shein’s website, which have the same stylised heel as the Morso heels, available on the GCDS website for US$875. It is unclear how much Shein’s version of the shoes are, and they appear to have been removed from the site. The Independent has contacted Shein for comment. Calza continued in his post: “I try to stay human, I try to make my country a place where this industry can live for young people like me, but in this time maybe I’m wrong, maybe I am the fool.” The designer, whose brand has been worn by Beyonce, Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa, Pamela Anderson, and other celebrities, said that “what hurts the most is people tagging me [on these] shoes and expecting me to congratulate them or repost”. “It’s very sick. If you want creativity and young people to continue [surviving] and see them succeed, do not be a part of their game,” he added. In his caption, Calza wrote: “Boycott Shein or accept abusive behaviour, accept stealing and accept the planet where you live, to burn in shame and fear [sic]. “Accept mediocrity and be part of killing someone else’s dreams.” In 2021, Shein was accused of “deliberate and calculated” trademark infringement by a number of major and independent brands, including AirWair International, owner of Dr Martens. The complaint, filed in California, accused the retailer of having a “clear intent to sell counterfeits”. Shein denied the claims, and has denied other claims of alleged infringement.
