Keaykolour get stronger and rougher with the new Extra-Rough and is complemented with 4 embossing options, including the new Saffiano, replicating the famous italian embossed leather.

Fashion is more than just design or clothing, it's about building a legacy and a business with purpose. True fashion entrepreneurship goes beyond aesthetics—it’s about shaping the future with intention and leaving an enduring impact. At FASHINNOVATION during NYFW, I had pleasure of speaking with with Vladi Bergman, founder & CEO of Karma and Luck. Our conversation was nothing short of transformative, as we delved into the intersection of fashion, entrepreneurship, and purpose. Vladi’s perspective aligns beautifully with the values in "The Guide to Luxury Modular Fashion". Both emphasize that innovation in fashion isn't just about trends—it’s about curating timeless, versatile wardrobes that reflect individuality and conscious choices, allowing fashion to evolve with personal style while promoting sustainability. Stay tuned for more insights and conversations from this inspiring event! #fashinnovation #newyork #futureoffashion #sustainability #luxury

🌟 The Resilience of Independent Fashion Brands 🌟 In a challenging retail landscape, independent brands often struggle, yet some, like Ganni A/S, continue to flourish. In Canada, our indie fashion scene is supported by initiatives like The One of a Kind Show in Toronto (Informa Exhibitions - Canada), STACKT Market, and La Maison Simons' Fabrique 1840. These platforms allow Canadian brands and entrepreneurs to experiment and be creative, the true lifeblood of our industry. They offer opportunities for brands to break away from the data-driven constraints of mainstream retail and truly innovate. Let’s keep retail interesting and celebrate and support our indie fashion brands—champions of creativity and entrepreneurship. 🇨🇦 #IndieFashion #RetailInnovation #CanadianBrands #OneOfAKindShow #StacktMarket #Fabrique1840

H&M's presence at the Met Gala this year signifies a renaissance for the company, aiming to set itself apart from mass-market counterparts. New CEO Daniel Ervér is focused on turning the company's fortunes around, with a recent boost in profits and a goal of achieving a 10 percent operating margin by 2024. The company is emphasizing boosting gross margins through improved quality and better prices, launching new concept stores in London with higher price points. Ervér's predecessor, Helena Helmersson, stepped down due to demanding circumstances, and Ervér is implementing new strategies to revitalize the brand. The new H&M store in London's Kings Road reflects a blend of modern and classic design, aiming to capture the essence of the neighborhood's cultural heritage. H&M's shift towards premium collections and higher margins is a response to fierce competition from online fast fashion players and other retail giants, signaling a need for innovation and relevance in the industry. #h&m #metgala #turnaround #fashion #apparels

One of the toughest parts has always been stepping out of my comfort zone. When you have a vision and a passion, it’s easy to focus on the product and the business, but there’s also the critical need for marketing, sales, and social media engagement. As someone who has worked in marketing for companies like Podimo, Glossybox, and more, I’ve always been behind the scenes, strategizing and leading teams. But being the one in front of the camera? That’s a whole different ball game. It’s not something I’ve enjoyed, but I’m learning that it’s necessary. So, here’s my first video—proof of progress and a big step forward for me. I’d love your support—whether that’s a like, share, or comment. It means a lot to me! And if you have any thoughts or ideas on my brand, Coneli please reach out. I’m always open to connecting and collaborating with others who share the vision of sustainable, eco-friendly luxury. Our goal is to create a brand that resonates with a new standard of luxury: one that’s environmentally conscious, sustainable, and crafted with care. We need to move beyond the cycle of fast fashion, overconsumption, and products made without transparency. The future of fashion isn’t about cheap, disposable items shipped across the globe—it’s about investing in quality, local craftsmanship, and ethical production. I’m excited to be part of that change, and social media is a powerful way to amplify this message. It’s not just about selling a product, it’s about telling a story—one that educates and inspires others to think differently about the choices they make. Together, let’s create a future where eco-friendly elegance is the new luxury. Do you buy eco-friendly and locally already? Do you shop on Temu? Let me know what are your thoughts on this? #SustainableFashion #EcoFriendly #LuxuryFashion #Entrepreneurship #Sustainability #EcoLuxury #BrandBuilding #SlowFashion #ConsciousConsumer #SustainabilityMatters #SustainableBusiness #FashionWithPurpose #GreenLuxury #EthicalFashion #coneli #sustainableelegance

As the founder of STORIES Parfums, I am excited to announce our latest collaboration with Fleur of England, a fellow independent, female-founded brand known for its exquisite silk lingerie and commitment to sustainable luxury. This partnership isn’t just about blending scent and silks – it’s about joining forces as women-led brands to champion each other and create meaningful, shared value. Being an independent, female-led brand brings unique challenges and joys. In the UK, it is thought that only around one in three entrepreneurs is female, and though female-founded companies are steadily growing, funding and resources remain limited. Collaborating with other like-minded brands gives us the opportunity to amplify each other’s voices, reach broader audiences, and continue scaling despite tight budgets. With this approach, we can achieve so much more together than we ever could alone. Marketing collaborations like this one are incredibly powerful for brands like ours. By pooling resources and connecting with our shared communities, we create authentic engagement and extend our reach without the high costs that often accompany traditional advertising. It’s inspiring to work with talented, driven women who understand the power of collaboration over competition. When we support each other, we strengthen the landscape for all women entrepreneurs. I'm grateful for the chance to connect with Fleur of England on this project and to create a unique experience for our customers that celebrates elegance, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Here's to celebrating women in business and the power of collaboration.

The Challenge for Luxury in 2024:  Rekindling desire in a market overwhelmed by "Luxury fatigue". As we approach the end of the year, a fascinating paradox emerges: the luxury sector, traditionally bold and visionary, appears to be treading cautiously. Far from the daring risks that captivate fashion enthusiasts, we’re witnessing more conservative product lines and communication strategies. Seems only “quiet luxury” brands are selling… But how can we restore the magic? Which brand will lead the way in reinventing luxury desire in 2025? Josep Font for Delpozo Fall 2017 Ready-to-Wear.
