ART AND HAUTE COUTURE

YE DON’T LIVE MATTER FOR ADDIDAS
“After a thorough review, the company has taken the decision to terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy branded products and stop all payments to Ye and his companies. Adidas will stop the Adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect,” it added.
The German sporting goods firm, which had come under growing pressure to renounce its seven-year partnership with the rapper formerly known as Kanye West.
It expects a short-term hit of up to 250 million euros to its net income as a result. Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech. Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness,” Adidas said in a statement.
MARINO AN ARTCHITEC FOR HANDBAG
The pitch-black handbag, with leather straps, nail heads, and medieval-inspired hardware, is not a wussie bag, Peter Marino deadpanned about Louis Vuitton’s Artycapucines collection.
In a limited edition of 200, the handbag will be sold in Vuitton boutiques around the world by six contemporary artists. Each is priced at 8,000 euros.
Could it be a sculpture, or a handbag? he teased over the line from his New York office. I know at least three women who collect handbags and put them under glass.
At Paris+, the new art fair from Art Basel organizers, Vuitton will unveil its 2022 Artycapucines Collection. Vuitton has been appointed associate partner of the event, which runs from Oct. 20 to 22 at the Grand Palais Éphémère.
ROKSANDA FASHION WEEK

SIMONS THE GATEWAY TO LONDON
The bar turned into a runway. Students, artists, designers, musicians, DJs, and fashion types all pressed together in the chaotic spirit of euphoria that Raf Simons wanted to whip up around the showing of his spring collection.
“I decided to come to London last year, because I felt the energy was incredible,” he said, while prepping a show at Printworks, a massive post-industrial newsprint factory
London, like the country, is a hurt animal, but it’s one that’s ready for release. Positives can be found within the negatives. He is probably talking about him hurt by the fashion Week in Paris and then in New York he is now trying London.
On tee shirts and dresses, he embedded prints of scrawled works by the late Ghent artist Philippe Vandenberg. I know his words are cruel, like, ‘Kill them all and dance,’ but he meant to kill things you’re doing creatively before moving on. Continue reading

GUCCI AND RYAN
ALAÏA AT THE MUSÉE PICASSO

On Monday, September 26th, Alaïa hosted a unique dinner at the Musée Picasso in Paris. A special event organised to celebrate the Alaïa x Picasso collaboration. The six dresses, inspired by Picasso’s Tanagras ceramics, were displayed in the courtyard of the museum. Friends of the house were invited to celebrate this exclusive collaboration between Alaïa and the Picasso Administration.
VILMORIN LOW FASHION
The designer is like a flame that we must fan, because without impetus it dies and becomes dusty. And if you let yourself look at your own genius while remaining passive, he dies, and all forget him in the silence of an intense pain that assails him. It was at the Folies Bergères, the mythical place of Parisian nights. Rochas with its complex codes, the little Vilmorin has difficulty in clinging to the philosophy of the house, his creation suffers cruelly from an identity crisis.
A fuchsia printed crop top and frou frou on the shoulder was accompanied by a skirt and trouser set and fought with a suit ivory check only wearable element in the subway. With heeled boots with laces, for an image of Pigalle not far from where the asphalt girls hung their customers, but when the designer thinks surrealism, he dreams of a pipe.
YVES SAINT LAURENT

ARMANI THE ARTIST
In Giorgio Armani’s via Borgonuovo palazzo’s basement theater, models walked down the runway with an easterly breeze blowing through. Featuring gold-embossed bamboo poles, the invitation to the show revealed a collection inspired by sun-drenched climes and luxurious relaxation.
Despite the breezy and sometimes beachy silhouettes, models didn’t walk barefoot inside the palazzo. The girls wore sneakers, some of which were covered in iridescent fabric, as well as flat sandals and shoes.

FUNERAL DECODING
As well as purity, pearls are also associated with tears and the British royal family. She previously wore the same coatdress to last year’s G7 summit in Cornwall, England, in white as well. Wearing the queen’s Japanese pearl choker consists of four strands joined by a diamond clasp, she paired it with a black hat with a netted veil.
Meghan Markle wore a black cape dress by Stella McCartney, who also designed the halter top dress she wore to her wedding reception. Previously, she wore a navy dress by McCartney.
In addition to the hat, Markle wore a Stephen Jones hat with a wide brim. Markle’s pearl earrings are believed to have been a gift from the queen for their first joint engagement together after she married Prince Harry.
Here is the difference between a girl from Hollywood boulevard who wears an outfit from an “ex space girls”, and the European chic of a lady Kate who dresses at a true designer Alexander Mac Queen.
BURBERRY AND DANIEL LEE
Burberry is exploring a new creative path, and speaking to designers who could potentially replace chief creative officer Riccardo Tisci, whose contract expires in early 2023.
According to industry sources, one of those designers is Daniel Lee, who made an abrupt departure from the Kering-owned Bottega Veneta late last year, shortly after the brand’s spring 2022 runway show in Detroit, Michigan.
VICTORIA NAKED
The beauty brand which is owned by parent company Victoria’s Secret Co. on Tuesday will release “Bare Eau de Parfum,” a partnership with international perfume school Symrise. (Bare mean naked )
Bare is unlike any other fragrance in how it takes the idea of a signature scent to a whole new level. A proprietary blend of adaptive musks, developed in conjunction with the [nonprofit, independent scientific research center] Monell Institute amplifies the weares unique scent, like a manifestation of their authentic self.”
“Choosing a fragrance is an extremely personal experience, so we took our time developing a scent that could be both relatable and unique to everyone who wears it,” said Victoria.
VACCARELLO BACK IS BACK
Riding out way out to the Agafay desert one hour outside Marrakech, a van full of English and American editors were gobsmacked by the sight of two camels, They had seen the wintour and didier Grumler kissing, a real nightmare vision. In the Kering group we save the planet, the journalist had walked in the desert several meters.THE OTHERS AND DE LIBRAN
It’s like being invited to brunch at the designer’s house when you attend a Julie de Libran couture show. Watch models wind their way through the basement floor’s living room, inner courtyard, and kitchen while eating finger sandwiches and biscuits stamped with her initials.
inspired by a Peter Lindbergh photograph of Amber Valletta with angel wings. Meanwhile, surplus items from her collaboration with Eres, including lace bodysuits, bra tops and leggings, were given a new lease on life with a bedazzling of chunky Swarovski crystals.
FRENCH HAUTE COUTURE

In spite of all the talk about changing the fashion calendar and downsizing shows, Paris Couture Week was back in full swing with 30 on-calendar shows and dozens of other runways and presentations. Nothing felt “slow fashion” about the four-day frenzy.

LA MÉTAMORPHOSE 2023
Maybe the most curious contradiction about fashion right now is its status as a pillar of Polish culture.
Several of these commentators have probably never been to a fashion show or acquired couture clothing. However, there is a great deal of interest in fashion in terms of analyzing, sourcing, and inquiring. In the current fashion world, the reach is democratic, but the taste is snobbish. Anyone, in other words, can be a Snoby but Snob means “Sine Nobile” in Latin which is without gentry.
SORBIER SUPERNATURAL 2023

We never doubted that he was a talented poet, and when I speak of him, my word is deadened with satire and sneer. I have flown on planes, crossed borders and touched bodies that lacked the taste of ink, for a picture of the world that seemed both familiar and exotic, populated by white shadows and memories that rhyme with my father’s silence, but never was the journey so transporting.

SCHIAPARELLI 2023

HAUTE COUTURE AND VALLI
By all accounts, Giambattista Valli’s move into haute couture in 2012 was a risky one. In the previous years, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Lacroix, Emanuel Ungaro, Balmain, Jean-Louis Scherrer and Hanae Mori discontinued their high-fashion operations, and the rarified, costly enterprise appeared to be crumbling.
During the Pandemic, Valli held several still-life exhibitions of his haute couture instead of runway displays, and they attracted a steady stream of visitors, not just fashion fans.
It is the wonderment that haute couture evokes that drives the designer to create. There are few people who can tell whether the front row is occupied by a princess or a workman.
