Italian born Pierre Cardin began his career dressing women in a futuristic design style. From patent leather dresses to the iconic suits worn by The Beetles.

Hallmark Chanel aired a Gay Christmas Special. NY Times reporter; I’m gay. I kiss men. Never at a ranch, once on a Ski lift. But there was something so surprisingly renegade about the movie’s smooch. Leading men just don’t kiss each other in the conservative fraternity of holiday TV movies. They do now. As I recently reported, this year there are six new holiday-themed films with gay and lesbian leading characters, including “Happiest Season”(Hulu), “The Christmas House”(Hallmark Channel) and “The Christmas Setup” (Lifetime). In this chaste genre, that’s a milestone.
