PARIS TEXAS’ Post

Is fashion fully emerging in celebrity culture? How does it affect the relationship with actual clients? Do they (either) care? I know someone who buys couture. Last January, she tried to order three pieces from one of the most successful collections of the season. She was told that the brand currently works only with celebrities, making outfits for red carpet and promotional events. This became evident during the MET GALA, where the brand dominated the carpet with well-prepared and focused designs. South Korean actors and pop stars are in huge demand. Yesterday, Gong Yoo became the new ambassador for Louis Vuitton. The actor is not new to the house; in 2017, he was already the face of the LV Tambour Horizon watch. However, there is preparation for a new drama he might star in with Song Hye Kyo (brand ambassador for Fendi), which is projected to generate significant buzz. LV is closely monitoring the Korean drama scene. A few days ago, a grandiose Vogue World event took place at Place Vendome, signaling the start of the Olympics in Paris, with fashion highlighted (LVMH is a sponsor of the games). The guests were the usual figures: Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Pharrell Williams, etc. The setting was familiar—a well-edited circle of "friends" personally picked by Anna Wintour. With print losing its importance, Vogue is seeking a replacement platform, leaning towards "exclusivity." A lucky few, usually the same people, are deemed important in Ms. Wintour's eyes. The idea is clear. There is only one question: does anyone besides a few fashion enthusiasts care? In my opinion, the number one fashion magazine in the world should be an ambassador of fashion, making people excited and integrating it into people's lives—not just the lives of a few Gigis... #wwd #bof #fashion Vogue

Reflecting on the journey of resilience and transformation, Mary J. Blige and her stylist Misa Hylton share a powerful story in the Hulu documentary In Vogue: The 90s. Once dismissed by high-end fashion boutiques simply because they did not fit the stereotypical mold of luxury clientele, these pioneers turned their experiences into a narrative of empowerment and success. Their tale is a reminder of the biases that exist and the importance of breaking through them with determination and authenticity. Today, Mary J. Blige stands as a testament to what can be achieved despite early challenges, with a legacy of musical and fashion triumphs, including partnerships with renowned brands. This story echoes the significance of diversity and inclusion within the fashion industry and beyond. It's a call to action for us all to create spaces where talent and potential are recognized over preconceived notions. What are your thoughts on how industries can better value diverse voices? #DiversityMatters #FashionHistory #MaryJBlige #InclusionRevolution #InVogueThe90s #LeadershipLessons #EmpowermentThroughAdversity

Fashion Trends to Cultural Responsibility: Appropriation vs Appreciation Kim Kardashian changed her brand from "Kimono" to “SKIMS”. Dior faced backlash for a $3,800 skirt likened to a Chinese "mamianqun”. Do you buy craft decor or an embroidered handbag without knowing its origin? Enjoy Asian food without cultural connection? In our global world, the line between cultural appreciation and appropriation is blurry. Appreciation involves respectful engagement, recognizing significance, understanding value, collaborating with communities, and encouraging mindful shopping while appropriation trivializes important cultural symbols reducing them to mere fashion trends. Celebrate diversity mindfully. Share your thoughts below! #MindfulFashion #CulturalExchange

How can #celebrityculture continue to attract #consumers to fragrances in 2024? What are the challenges of celebrity #brand #endorsements, and what new strategies are being reinforced in 2024? Fragrances have been created and inspired by celebrities and artists for decades. From the iconic 'L'Interdit,' GIVENCHY's heady ambery-white floral tribute to Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor's 'White Diamonds' to the explosion of celebrity fragrance brands in the 2000s, the history of fragrance has always been deeply intertwined with the opportunities that celebrity endorsement brings. But how has the celebrity fragrance communication market evolved? Two of the latest campaigns tap into interesting markets: - Jo Malone London announced British actor Tom Hardy as the new male ambassador of the house, launching a campaign for 'Cypress & Grapevine' Cologne Intense. This partnership extends the brand's awareness and commitment to well-being and self-care, as discussed by the brand's VP of Global Education, Chris Wyatt (full interview: https://lnkd.in/eN6CKWxu ). - Meanwhile, CHANEL renewed its creative partnership with actor Timothée Chalamet, directed by Martin Scorsese for the latest 'Bleu de Chanel' campaign. The young actor and Hollywood sensation continues Chanel's navigation into generational consumer change, particularly investing into #GenZ's celebrity culture. In 2023, actress Whitney Peak was announced as the new face of 'Coco Mademoiselle'. Similar to Chanel, Gucci previously collaborated with singers Harry Styles and Miley Cyrus for the media campaigns of 'Mémoire d'une Odeur' and 'Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia,' respectively. The resurgence of Y2K nostalgia perfumes has also played a significant role in the generational rediscovery of #celebrity #fragrance #brands, with various emerging talents becoming also fragrance entrepreneurs, such as actress Millie Bobby Brown, or singers Sabrina Carpenter and Billie Eilish, the latter who even recently won #TFFUKAwards2024 Readers' Choice with her 'Eilish No. 2'. More than ever, with the growth and commercialisation of #niche perfumes, celebrity #endorsement has also become more discreet. Celebrities like model and entrepreneur Rosie Huntington-Whiteley have embraced the power of social media platforms, where even a single lifestyle picture hinting at her appreciation for Maison Crivelli's 'Tubéreuse Astrale' can create unexpected buzz for niche and artistic brands (https://lnkd.in/efn8MCGY). Similarly, model Hailey Bieber revealed her signature scents to be EX NIHILO PARIS's Lust in Paradise and Fleur Narcotique, turning these fragrances into overnight internet sensations (https://lnkd.in/egDvMQk6 ). What are your thoughts on celebrity fragrance advertising?

Whether you’re shopping the brand for the clothes or the name behind it, there’s a celebrity-owned brand to suit everyone’s tastes—from Kim Kardashian’s Skims, which is known for its effective shapewear, to Gigi Hadid’s Guest in Residence, which champions contemporary cashmere knitwear through a vintage lens.

#Leadership #Women #Emotions #Corporate #Gifting #Awards #Memories #Artisans Gifting is an important part of Indian culture be it any regional festival or corporate events , be it the person who sends it or the person who receives it they always want to make this experience memorable and why not spend some time on this? Especially when it brings the smile which lasts forever and makes a memory which can be always cherished. When life is so stressful and so hectic , a single smile/ memory can change the world for many!! But wondering why do women focus on gifts so much when they have to be practical? Can't they just buy it themselves or do you think they can't afford it? Do you think gifts have any similarity to awards and promotions in corporate world? Definitely yes, as it not only makes them feel special, valued and happy but also brings the confidence in their journey/decisions towards life and create positive memories which lasts forever. Giftings/Awards is more about your relationship with the recipient than the monetary value attached to it. When it comes to clothing, do you think it has to be exclusive and rare to find or should you compromise it with something which will be available in all stores? Will you present something to someone which just looks exclusive but can harm their skin. Definitely as human we are greedy we will need something which is exclusive, rare to find but not everyone can afford all the exclusive products because of price points. But we at Indimotifs have exclusive and rare handmade products which not only take care of every emotions but also make sure the outfits lasts for long ensuring every individual gets the value and make memories together and forever.
