Performance shorts and compression T-shirts are a far cry from polyester regeneration but that’s the world that Patrik Frisk is immersed in now. The former chief executive officer of Under Armour now serves as CEO of Reju, a textile regeneration company based in Paris that just completed the buildout of a plant to recycle polyester fabrics. Called the Regeneration Hub Zero, the factory, which is in Frankfurt, can recover, collect and sort textiles that have been discarded and turn them into Reju Polyester, which has a 50 percent lower carbon footprint than virgin polyester.

In RetailNext’s latest “Retail Vibe Check Report,” researchers at the in-store analytics platform provider zeroed in on Generation Z and found some startling behavior patterns. The big standout was that Gen Z expects the same experience in a physical store as when they shop online. “Gen Z lives at the intersection of digital and physical worlds — they’re not abandoning in-store shopping — instead, they’re demanding it evolve,” RetailNext said in the report. “Their frustrations with long lines, crowded spaces, and out-of-stock items reflect a deeper need: they want stores to work for them like the digital world does — instant, personalized and frictionless.” There’s a lot at stake if retailers can meet these demands. Authors of the report estimate Gen Z’s spending power in the U.S. at $360 billion. Finish the story on WWD: https://lnkd.in/eHm2wQ9A

Leading up to the big screen release of “Wicked” on Nov. 22, an exclusive collection by Paul Tazewell, the film’s costume designer, will land at Target.com at 7 a.m. ET Thursday and Target stores on Sunday. The 30-piece clothing line for adults and kids was designed by Tazewell, who received an Academy Award nomination for “West Side Story,” and won a Tony Award for costume design for the Broadway production of “Hamilton.” His other Tony-nominated shows include “The Color Purple,” “In the Heights,” “Memphis,” “A Streetcar Named Desire, “Ain’t Too Proud,” “MJ” and “Suffs.” In the “Wicked” film, Ariana Grande plays Glinda, a popular young woman who later becomes Glinda the Good Witch, and Cynthia Erivo plays Elphaba, a misunderstood young woman born with green skin who later becomes the Wicked Witch of the West. The movie is being released in two parts: one this year, and the second on Nov. 21, 2025. Read more on WWD.com: https://lnkd.in/eG9AkZTp

Unlike most runway looks, the strapless minidress made of DHL tape that Gigi Hadid modeled in Vetements’ runway could be knocked off at home. But VETEMENTS GROUP AG wasn’t taking any liberties with DHL’s intellectual property, since the two brands began collaborating in 2015. Hadid‘s DHL dress for Vetements‘ anniversary show was not a surprise for the Bonn, Germany-based international shipping and package delivery specialist, according to Arjan Sissing, head of group brand marketing at DHL Group. “We found it incredibly exciting, and well-aligned with our own brand’s 55-year anniversary that we celebrated last week. And then we provided the necessary red and yellow DHL packing tape so Vetements could create this striking dress,” Sissing said. See the full DHL look by Vetements on WWD: https://lnkd.in/emrUhumf

With the East and Gulf Coasts port strike continuing, U.S. retailers are getting increasingly anxious about their holiday season. They already had low expectations for sales gains in the 2 to 3 percent range, but now with container ports shut down from Maine to Texas, there’s a growing undercurrent of concern, in particular about the back end of the season, when they could experience a dearth of replenishment and early spring goods. Those orders typically arrive in stores around December and will be floating on water rather than sitting on shelves and in warehouses, if the strike persists. “Right now, my clients don’t seem to be bothered by the strike,” said Balika Sonthalia, senior partner and head of Kearney’s strategic operations practice for the Americas. “But as we get further into December, there could be an imbalance in supply and demand.” Continue reading on WWD: https://lnkd.in/eTsK3_28

Sir Paul Smith is looking back. “What we’ve managed to achieve in the last six months is getting to the final stages of having quite a thorough, good archive of my work over the years,” the British fashion designer said from Tokyo, where he unveiled the first of two exhibitions celebrating the history of Paul Smith tailoring opening this fall. While the show in Tokyo is centered on what it means to wear a suit in today’s world, the Los Angeles edition is about how star wattage has powered the brand over the years, from dressing David Bowie to Jenna Ortega.

Leave it to a fit model to know how clothes should feel, move and look. Knowledge is one thing. It’s another to parlay that into a denim brand — a tough business dominated by the likes of Levis’Store and Gap, except at fashion’s highest echelons. It takes a certain fearlessness to pull it off. Fortunately for Paige, the Los Angeles-based luxury apparel brand marking its 20th anniversary, and its eponymous cofounder and chief creative officer, Paige Adams-Geller, the cup appears to runneth over when it comes to fearlessness. For proof, consider her trajectory. Read more here : https://lnkd.in/e3MFsj4U

Before we proceed, a public service announcement: contrary to a deafening chorus of rumors, Chanel is not ready to reveal its next designer. “There will be no immediate announcement — that I can absolutely confirm,” Bruno Pavlovsky, president of fashion and president of CHANEL SAS, told WWD before the show. “It’s going to take a while longer and right now, I have no visibility on when that might change.” For its first ready-to-wear show without a creative director, following the surprise departure of Virginie Viard in June, Chanel returned to the Grand Palais - RMN (Officiel) with a set worthy of the Karl Lagerfeld era. #fashion #luxury #creativedirector #recruitment #succession #brand #branding

Who’s winning the content economy? Beauty as a whole is a winner, with data from Gen Z research and strategy firm Dcdx showing the category outpaces travel, restaurants, consumer packaged goods and even fashion when it comes to engagement and consistency of user-generated content. More specifically, brands including Sephora, Charlotte Tilbury, Dior Beauty and E.l.f. Cosmetics are seeing success, earning top spots in Dcdx’s ranking of the top beauty brands by organic UGC engagement and consistency among Gen Z social media users this summer. Interestingly, the top 15 brands in beauty drove 50 percent of the category’s conversations. Sephora took the top spot with a Gen Z score — which is Dcdx’s proprietary metric measuring UGC performance among the group — of 85.24 out of 100. The 15th-biggest brand, meanwhile, was clean beauty indie Saie, which scored 66.36. More + the full ranking on WWD: https://lnkd.in/eaFcWq-b
