SUPREME IN CHINA
Supreme, the New York-based cult skate brand, opened its first store in China on Friday. The 11,000-square-foot, two-story store is Supreme’s 17th in the world and the largest to date.
A micro-neighborhood known for its vibrant youth culture scene lies at the corner of Changle Road and Fumin Road, home to the Supreme store.
Jordan and his team spent most of their time in China scouting skate spots, meeting the right people, and recruiting casts of characters to run the shop from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
At the entrance of the store, shoppers are greeted by two Mark Gonzales sculptures, one of which is a full-size F1 race car. Above the main wall, a mural by Brooklyn-based artist Josh Smith features a vibrant painting with Goth-like features. In 2022, the artist collaborated with Givenchy. Continue reading
SILHOUETTE THE SHADOW BUREAU
The name means “Projected shadow of something or someone, the shape and contours of which stand out clearly against a background.”
2024 is a big year for Silhouette. As the Austria-based eyewear company celebrates its 60th anniversary. The family business continues to intrigue demanding consumers with its permanent commitment to excellence and sustainability through innovative, comfortable and quality lenses, but for the latter our boss at Canal-luxe was screaming not to be able to have them repaired.

HERMÈS THE RAIN PASSAGER
The face of the sky is gray, the ground shimmers in the rain, a dark rain that falls from the ceiling as if to illuminate fashion. Unquestionably the cuts, which appear, are perfectly executed, and even if the leather is not worn in the rain, we have a collection as a whole that flirts with luxury. Continue reading

YSL DIFFRACTION OF FASHION
The “Transparences” exhibition currently taking place at the Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Paris is recording record attendance, a funny coincidence. On Tuesday evening, Anthony Vaccarello, constructed almost his entire fall collection with flimsy silk hosiery fabrics, which he said were a nightmare to produce.
Saint Laurent via a sensual nude outfit, while exalting the master’s legacy of transgression, liberation and empowerment of women. The models’ heads were covered in bonnets and their wrists covered with large transparent bracelets, as well as jewelry on their backs.
Vaccarello said he had the idea for this pure extravagance before the YSL museum revealed the theme of its spring exhibition, sure!. But I think it’s good that there is this link with the foundation also to make it clear that here it is also a house of transparency. Really very, very transparent in fact.
