DI PETSA 2025 LONDON

The story was filled with love, friendship, sun, sea, and magical realism. Every detail was written in her journal, then translated into her show, which is always more of a performance art than a way to sell clothes.

Artworks created by the designer dotted the venue. Petsa created the paintings as votive offerings to her summer loves, some platonic, some erotic. Petsa smiled backstage as she said, “You can discover me through my creations.”

LAQUAM SMITH 2025 NEW YORK

This poetic monster is one of those animals that are generally called “MY HONEY!” that is to say a woman with a husband chained to his legitimate wife like a beast, and looks longingly at the menu that he will never have, here is the brief summary of the collection of Monsieur Smith.

Close to spring 2024 with its mini-skirts and the super crop top, in a style the size of a postage stamp, in vinyl and leather with double belt, St-Tropez 1970 style. This throwback by Laquan-Smith has become a viral success on the “sail” of St Tropez of course, adding a touch of neo-preppy chic for femininity on all floors. Of sophisticated woman with casual suits, with a touch of asphalt on vacation plunging neckline to seduce males over 50 years old Rolex on the wrist, in short those who have succeeded in life.

A FECAL MATTER INFLUENCER

A Fecaloid woman, and for those who read me, a bimbo named Fecal Matter! Incredible, right? Here is the scatological letter from Madame Palatine, sister-in-law of Louis XIV, great-grandmother of Marie-Antoinette! So, you can imagine that scatological texts are not reserved solely for this new generation.

“You are very happy to go shit whenever you want. So shit all your dog drunk. We are not the same here, where I am obliged to keep my turd for the evening. There is no rubbing (toilet) in the houses on the forest side. I have the misfortune of living in one, and consequently, the sorrow of going to shit outside, which annoys me, because I like to shit at my leisure, and I don’t shit at my leisure when my ass is not touching anything. Everyone sees us shitting; men, women, girls, boys, abbots and Swiss people pass by. You see by that that no pleasure without pain, and that, if we didn’t shit, I would be in Fontainebleau like a fish in water.”

BETTY PASSED AWAY AT 96

Betty Halbreich, died Saturday in Manhattan she was 96. In addition to her discerning eye and impeccable taste, she charmed the many celebrity and typically affluent shoppers she met regularly, as well as her colleagues, and was considered an institution at Bergdorf Goodman. A native of Chicago, Halbreich was also a best-selling author.

She joined Bergdorf’s as a sales associate in 1976. The store created a personal shopping office for her upon her suggestion. Bergdorf Goodman, which is part of the Neiman Marcus Group, continues to maintain one of the strongest reputations in the retail industry for lavish, high-touch service.

During her long tenure at Bergdorf Goodman, Halbreich won the praise of fashion designers, celebrities, and loyal clients for her decisive and honest approach to getting dressed, beginning with her first client, style icon Babe Paley. Funny and cultured, she represented the best of America in the kingdom of the Big Apple. May his soul rest in peace.

WHEN MARCO POLO VISITED CATHAY

Sephora is cutting jobs in China, the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton-owned company confirmed on Wednesday. The beauty retailer, which has operated in China since 2004, is cutting its workforce by 3%, or about 120 jobs, amid a slowing economy in China, which is not a major issue for a population of 1.4 billion.

Given the challenging market environment, the company is streamlining its organizational structure to ensure long-term sustainable growth in China. Over the past two years, Sephora has launched Anastasia Beverly Hills, Hourglass and Tatcha in China, to positive reviews. The launches of Drunk Elephant and Fenty came in May, but were less popular.

But one of the things about China is that when it comes back, you have to be nimble, and it will come back very quickly. It was reported earlier this week that Estée Lauder Cos. expects further declines in prestige beauty in China next year, while North America is also weakening.

FASHION AND THE LOUVRE

The storied Paris museum Le Louvre will host some of the late German designer’s haute couture and Métiers d’art creations for Chanel in January. It is the first time the Louvre has created an exhibition about fashion and its own collections. After catwalk on the top of the Louvre, here is fashion that is entering under the pyramid.

THE MAN FROM GIBRALTAR COULD WAIT

He was fired from Dior in a row and returned to Fendi as quickly as the “Parker” probe. As such, the return of the prodigal son, to the group of the lord of lords, was predictable. And even if Baudelaire, to create, drank “l’asbtreinte”, the man from Toledo, like a good sectarian, was very wrong about him, and rather than disgracing him, he should have had him treated with his addictions, for a redemption, that everyone would have understood.

“John”’s last collection for “Margiela” was like a call: the new look revisited to show the lord that not only was he cured, but that he was still just as creative. He is the man of couture excesses and excesses of all kinds, but like Verlaine or Apollinaire, to fight against absence, you sometimes have to surround yourself with lost paradises. Continue reading

BURBERRY A AMERICAN IN LONDON

The British luxury group Burberry announced this Monday the replacement of its managing director Jonathan Akeroyd, after the publication of new “disappointing performances” from a group which has suffered for months from the slowdown in demand for high-end products.

Jonathan Akeroyd, a 57-year-old Briton who arrived just over two years earlier, “resigns and leaves the company with immediate effect by mutual agreement with the Board of Directors,” Burberry announced in a press release.

He will be replaced on Wednesday by Joshua Schulman, a 52-year-old American, former boss of the American brands Michael Kors and Coach or the luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman, but also of Jimmy Choo in London, also passed during his career by Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci.

PUZZY VERY ACIDIC

Our opinions on perfume are our own, obviously, but given the perfumes that come out every day, this is the perfume that everyone has been waiting for women with excessively strong crotch sweating, a real find, so that your underwear fits you like a glove.

Puzzy, for a good slogan: “I used to be acidic, now I’m pubic.” Intimate Perfume from the Anitta brand, designed to help women feel more confident and attractive, marketers tell us. It’s formulated with natural ingredients, and it’s safe for some to never set foot in. A seductive harmony between chocolate, strawberry and vanilla, in short a cocktail from “Bachir” without the cold of the ice cream and the pistachios, but as a bonus, you can have the balls.

Anitta, real name Larissa de Macedo Machado, Brazilian singer, dancer, model, actress, businesswoman and presenter, in short, everything and nothing at the same time. She rose to fame in Brazil and Portugal, as well as other Portuguese-speaking regions. With the release of her single “Show das Poderosas” translation (The Power Show), of unparalleled power, but truly a spectacle, like her perfume, of the most distressing, she extends the long list of these brainless Bimbos who certainly degrade the status of women.

JACOBS LIKE PHARRELL WILLIAMS

In a federal court in California on Tuesday, Nirvana’s fellow band members, artist Robert Fisher and LVMH-owned Marc Jacobs International agreed to resolve their legal dispute and finalize a deal within the next three weeks. But the law firm that represented Marc Jacobs declined to comment.

In December 2018, Nirvana sued Marc Jacobs, claiming the band owned the smiley face logo through copyright. Nirvana used a smiley face with an “X” for each eye and a wry smile. During the legal proceedings, Nirvana’s lawyers claimed that the group’s founder, Kurt Cobain, created the logo around 1991. (The frontman died three years later.)

Marc Jacobs, Wintour’s favorite, also becomes a serial copier after Pharrell Williams, which is a lot for the best fashion advisor in the fashion world. By taking anyone, the lord’s group has nothing to do with it…

VILMORIN THE SCISSOHANDS DWARF

A copy of “Jacques Nunuche” coupled with Guo Peï, for a confrontation between the strength of desire and technical fragility, backed by physical horror, but it is true that the horror is human. We imagine the splashing of a sewer serving as an overflow, which is scattered in a shower of droplets and which clings like a tic-tac-toe to Minerva’s pubis.

Entering the dark room of “La Compagnie 1837”, a 450 m² event space located in the heart of Paris, on the first floor of the Saint-Lazare station, sealed with dark curtains, one does not wonder where the grandson of the writer wants to take us; it’s in the depths of his sewing dreams for an undeserved “Headache”. So here is the brass, fuchsia, pale indigo of Soulage, but also sphincter snorts that crackle in the horribly black shadow. Perpetual effort of Icarus whose wings always go haywire, and who falls back… sitting.

The witch with the apple is out, and in the world of sewing, you have a lot of witches… Here are the names… (no, I’m just kidding, let’s be discreet). Virginal white, cheerful fuschia or even blacker than the asshole of the world, between the three his heart swings, but the war “of the Three” will not take place with this cursed little painter.

He plays “Edward Scissorhands” for us, without Tim’s talent, to spoil the seams for us. It is true that the place really lent itself to a station novel.

LENA NOSTALGIA

Lena Erziak invites us on a journey through the depths of melancholy and the beauty that emerges from it. Each piece is an ode to the complexity of human emotions, capturing the duality between darkness and light, nostalgia and beauty.

In a world where emotions are often masked by noise and light, the collection plunges us into the heart of the human soul. Entirely crafted in black, each creation embodies the depth of melancholy, a complex and introspective emotion that reveals a rare and sublime beauty.

“Melancholia” transcends the ephemeral trends of fashion to ofer a timeless experience, where each piece is designed as a work of art. The dark fabrics, architectural cuts, and delicate details tell a story of nostalgia and contemplation, capturing the essence of beauty with unparalleled elegance.

The collection is composed of silk gazar, silk organza, duchess satin, Calais lace, brocade, and silk crepe. Notable is the exceptional work of feather artisans who adorned the looks with rooster, goose, and ostrich feathers. All the embroideries are handmade. Continue reading

RICHEMONT THE REVOLVING DOORS

Richemont revealed the two key appointments on Tuesday within hours of each other, Louis Ferla CEO of Cartier and Catherine Rénier CEO of Van Cleef and Arpels.

Ferla, currently head of Vacheron Constantin, will succeed Cyrille Vigneron as CEO of Cartier. Rénier, currently CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre, will succeed Nicolas Bos, now CEO of Richemont, at the head of Van Cleef and Arpels.

The appointments come in a year of leadership change for Richemont, whose chairman and founder Johann Rupert is planning succession as a generation of senior executives reaches retirement age.

At Richemont, employees tend to retire between the ages of 63 and 65, although Rupert often likes to keep some as advisors or in one-off positions. Ferla, who will be 49 this year, is part of the new generation of top managers. Continue reading

ROBERT WUN 2024

Wun was born and raised in Hong Kong.He started to take an interest in fashion at the age of 11 after he “met a cool girl a few years older than me at my family’s church who started a course in fashion design”. Wun moved to London where he studied at London College of Fashion. He graduated in 2012. I call him the Jackson Pollock of fashion.

BALMAIN AND DISNEY

Olivier Rousteing certainly cannot identify with the main character of “The Lion King” but with the fashion Mickey absolutely. When he was a nine-year-old boy growing up with his adoptive parents in Bordeaux, France, he created his own kingdom, with the question of where are my parents?

To mark the 30th anniversary of “The Lion King”. One of the highest-grossing animated films of all time, chooses Balmain.

But making T-shirts and accessories is not fashion and this limited edition Disney x Balmain collection will be launched on July 8 on balmain.com and in the main Balmain boutiques, as well as Saks Beverly Hills and saks.com , or how Mr. Pierre Balmain’s image can be destroyed by transforming him into an American-style clown.

The Lion King”; talks about Africa, so it was like a reference to my own origins, Bordeaux Africa” ​​That must be cool for his adoptive parents!!! The story of the lion king of Bordeaux, and tomorrow Olivier “Rintintin”. Not king, completely kong.

BALENCIAGA THE GAZAR BAND

Eccentric fabric headwear like overturned basins which already adorned models from the 1950s, it’s a surreal mix between oversized sets with baggy pants for Californian prisoners and jackets tied at the waist. Elegantly gloved hands holding numbers like in Cristóbal’s time; it’s a little warmed up. But, as always, this ace illusionist manages to make the son of the Prince of Venice believe that this is sewing! Ultimately, its fashion is like its turnover, a pendulum that swings from one extreme to the other.

ROLLAND’S SONG

To the music of “Paris by Night”, the man with the longest hair of Fashion Week, and also the most Middle Eastern of the French, created jewel dresses this season, a sort of mix between Tiffany which would be mated with a satin duchess having swallowed ostrich feathers. The Lebanese woman, next to me, smelled stronger than a Sephora store and was still re-perfuming, during this time and on stage, a dress by Sister Marie-Thérèse “a nun” which would have gone straight from the ‘Ronceveau and “Rolland” church. “the educated will understand.”
