Milan Fashion Week really stands out this season as the definitive destination for personal style. The theme wove itself through many of the collections presenting during MFW, and it feels as though it’s a symbol of the city’s fashion week itself. It’s been a while since the zeitgeist has made room for such individuality (outside of niche circles), as consumers are expected to perpetually chase after rapid and often thoughtless trend cycles, both in contemporary and even designers spaces. I’ve been yapping about it for days and I have to continue here: Prada’s SS25 collection, whether you were a fan or not, will be a highly important collection that’ll be referenced for years. It is a marked one not only because of its projected performance, commercially speaking, but because of the momentum it will create around the relevance of personal style. Leaning into personal style eases some of the consumer desire to overconsume in an endless trend chase, and promotes consumers to shop from resale and talented independent brands as they seek individual expression (not to mention allows greater creativity from designers). Miuccia Prada’s and Raf Simon’s inspiration this season was rooted in the idea that in a world shaped by algorithms and curated realities, true creativity and personal expression come from individuality. They believe fashion can empower people to transform how they see themselves and define their own identities - and they’re absolutely correct. And then there’s Marni. Initially I was rather bewildered by the collection, which felt like it was almost blatantly referencing Alice in Wonderland (Marni’s actual FW20 collection inspo) - but days later I’m left still thinking about it, and intrigued by the mischievousness of the SS25 collection. Why? Because it was just so individual. Risso, who took over Marni in 2016, has always been known for his bold, irreverent approach to design. His distinct POV - and continued commitment to the playful defiance that drives Marni - supports a needed embracement and return to personal style. So, amidst the many relevant trends we’ll look at this season, this macro focus on personal style seems to be the most critical one, at least culturally speaking. Milan Fashion Week and its influential designers got a little weird this season, and for that, we can thank them. #milanfashionweek #fashionnews #prada #marni #fashionindustry

I find it so interesting to see brands being strategic in their brand/product repositioning subtly or not so subtly entering new markets. It can either work super well or fail super fast - what do you think of this new LV speaker?

When you arrive in Milan there is something that you notice immediately: the style of the people. Everybody cares and you slowly get used to the aesthetics and stop noticing the fact that everyone goes to work as if they were going to a fashion show. But what I still find amazing is the process behind the scenes: getting to know the people that imagine and create clothes; learning about the research, the knowledge, the traditions and the innovation that is both technological and artistic. The result is stunning because the work, the know-how and the passion of the whole supply chain is extraordinary. It deserves to be seen, in collaboration with Sonia Brambilla and Gabriella Contestabile so we designed this journey. It is important to start thinking about the people that make what we wear.

Wow. Paris Art Week gets busier and busier… ✨ Up to a point where it is now almost ‘on its way to rivalling Paris Fashion Week in both its excess and frivolity’. The events taking place during Art Basel Paris show that for luxury houses, ‘the art world represents an increasingly important window into the tastes and spending habits of the world’s wealthiest culturati’. What a great survey of last week initiatives by Dan Thawley for The Business of Fashion. As fashion and art seem to merge further every single day, Paris definitely seems like the best laboratory for this phenomenon to happen - and be analysed. I personally think it’s quite a fascinating topic. Let’s see how it goes🪽 #paris #parisartweek #artbasel #contemporaryart #artandfashion #luxury

A luxury fashion brand owned by its fans? Swiss fashion designer yannik zamboni is the living proof that you don’t have to focus on just one ideal. You can reconcile many goals: fair working conditions, inclusion, conscious and circular fashion, socio-political concepts, and at the same time create high-quality products that meet the highest design standards. Circular fashion is the only future Yannik Zamboni and his team at Maison Blanche want to imagine. It was never an option for the label to serve the broken industry of luxury fashion or the volatile conditions of the fast fashion sphere. In its final form, maison blanche AG will completely revolutionize the final frontier of the fashion landscape. Asserting itself independently and autonomously on the market. IPO through crowd investing The rise of crowd investing is evident across industries, allowing fans to become shareholders in the brands they love. Crowd investing not only offers financial backing but also empowers more people to contribute to and benefit from the success of their favorite brands.   Wanna be part of that?

Polka dots first became #popular due to the "Polka" dance in the mid-19th century, and later became popular throughout Europe. Polka dot patterns first appeared on women's daily #clothing and swimsuits, and became popular as soon as they came out. Polka dot elements have gradually changed and evolved with the development of the times. They are no longer limited to a single color and size. #Designers use them on #dresses, stockings, scarves and other #clothing by changing the size and density of traditional polka dot elements. The redesigned polka dots have new vitality and fashion embellishment. The redesign of polka dot elements reflects modern fashion's respect for classics and exploration of the future. Jiaxin Silk has also been continuously injecting new fashion souls into classic elements and culture with this spirit. #fabric #exhibition #clothing #yarn #innovation #elements #style #design #team #products #trends #cooperative #fashion #fashionindustry

Money in the Bag: How Louis Vuitton’s Leather Goods Secure Their Leadership Did you know that Louis Vuitton’s leather goods generate nearly 60% of the brand’s total sales, contributing a staggering €20 billion in 2022? While their ready-to-wear collections and fashion account for 20%, and perfumes for about 10%, it’s clear that leather remains the powerhouse behind LV’s success. But beyond the numbers, it’s fascinating how Louis Vuitton’s strategic focus on timeless craftsmanship continues to set them apart in an industry driven by fast trends. The real genius lies in creating products that not only last but hold their value across generations, making each bag not just a luxury purchase, but an investment. Just recently, the Women’s Spring-Summer 2025 show was unveiled at the iconic Cour Carrée du Louvre in Paris, with House Ambassador Zendaya sharing her impressions of Nicolas Ghesquière’s visionary collection.
