DRIES VAN NOTEN FRAGRANCE
The designer approached fragrance and lipstick the same way he approaches his design work: with clashing concepts, a riot of colors, prints, and textures. When he joined Puig in 2018, he knew right away that he wanted to dive into the luxury beauty sector.
For Van Noten‘s beauty collection, sustainability was paramount. The perfume bottles are re-usable and refillable. The pouches are made from unused fabric from the fashion line. And there is no plastic foil covering the outer boxes, made from paper pulp.
Starting March 2, Dries Van Noten boutiques and its website will sell the new fragrances and makeup line. Select retailers will carry them starting at the end of April or early May.

LVMH VENDÔME
In 1371, after the death of Count Bouchard VII and his daughter Jeanne de Vendôme, Catherine de Vendôme, their sister and aunt, inherited the county of Vendôme. Her marriage to Jean VII Count of Vendôme gave birth to the House of Bourbon-Vendôme, this is why the lord chose this city
Le Maire spent four hours touring the workshops in Azé and Vendôme for LVMH who spent between 15 million euros and 20 million euros to buy and restore the historic Abbaye building in Vendôme, which dates back to the 11th century and variously housed a Benedictine monastery and a cavalry regiment. The four-story structure has been open since September 2020, but its inauguration was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Against the backdrop of the French presidential election campaign and the deepening crisis over Russia’s troop movements in Ukraine, a sizable media contingent turned out for the ceremony, attended by Bernard Arnault, chairman and chief executive officer of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, Louis Vuitton chairman and CEO Michael Burke and French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire.
The Oratoire workshop in neighboring Azé, meanwhile, is being touted as the first industrial building of its type in France, with an eco-design that cuts energy consumption by half compared with a classic Vuitton leather goods workshop.
HERMES FOLLOW NOBODY
We don’t follow what others are doing,” executive chairman Alex Dumas said Friday after reporting “exceptional” growth in 2021 that pushed the company close to 9 billion euros in revenues.
“We do not intend to use prices as a way of ratcheting up further growth,” he told a webcast with analysts. “Our price is the genuine price.It is true that a bag Birking has 25 000 euro in crocro it can leave the prices at a very low level. Dumas ultimately concluded: “Margin is the result of work well done.”
Still, investors were spooked by a 5.4 percent dip in fourth-quarter revenues in leather goods and saddlery, which Hermès blamed on production constraints and depleted inventories, but who knows if it’s the right reason? But no one can know, because the journalists are held far from the factories, only the dumb bimbo its their news agency, to report on their factory. That the way it is.

PETER DO
HEARST IN BLACK PANTHER
Driven by an intellectual curiosity around gender, which was influenced in part by her own 14-year-old daughters, Gabriela Hearst tapped a Stanford professor of art history who specializes in gender and politics to design two teaching sessions for herself and her staff. I hope this one told him the story of Patty Hearst, former terrorist of a black panther.
To our mind she should go back to a fashion school it will be more efficient. She also revisited her crystal obsession with a black coat with precious stones for button it that will probably cost the same price as a motorcycle, a bad compromise, in terms of carbon emissions, but that will be for the next session of learning with the new teacher.

METAVERSE AND EU
Europe could be looking at a Facebook- and Instagram-free future, according to parent company Meta’s latest annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The tech giant took issue with European privacy regulations that, it said, complicate its platforms’ functionality and ad products. Specifically, the rules prohibit cross-border transfers of user data, so Meta can’t process Europeans’ information in its U.S.-based servers.DIOR THE ECSTASY OF GOLD

A ROEGE HOVE 2022
Here I am caught in the spider’s web of Copenhagen Fashion Week. First step on the circle of solitude where I was slowly sliding into the labyrinth of the inhuman. Here is the search for the “Kilo Dior” in “Kilo ugly” mode for a more historical-artistic fashion approach, praising an original craft. Extravagant and unique silhouettes are created each season by founder Amalie Røege Hove. We don’t question her Master’s degree in textile design from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, but rather her years of experience as a knitwear designer mentioned on her website.
But, on the other hand, I can’t shoot them too much because they were kind enough to invite me. I was squeezed in between two Scandinavian blondes who were cocooning like a Sephora store on fire. Dressed as if they had dressed Corinne Masiero in Chic, you know the image of Captain Marleau in stilettos. Continue reading

Is there a problem with Puig? the Parisian fashion house owned by the Spanish group Puig and its artistic directors Rushemy Botter and Lisi Herrebrugh are separating by mutual agreement.The designers themselves announced this on their Instagram account, while the information was confirmed by the house.

From the very first seasons, Rushemy Botter and Lisi Herrebrugh managed to breathe new life into the brand by bringing freshness and modernity through masterful and balanced collections that reinterpreted the brand’s codes with an original point of view, often in a playful mode.
