"Nevermore, nevermore, neverrrrmoreeeee,"... Thom Browne's Edgar Allan Poe-inspired runway spectacle just closed New York Fashion Week, and it was my favorite show of the season. Here's why:   1. #CompellingStorytelling: Browne's Fall/Winter 2024 collection wasn't just about his beautiful clothes; it was a mesmerizing narrative brought to life on the runway. From start to finish, the show wove a tale that captivated the audience and left them wanting more. 2. #ImmersiveExperience : Browne didn't just showcase his designs; he transported his audience into his world. Every detail, from the haunting set design to the meticulously choreographed movements of the models, contributed to an environment that felt deeply personal and transformative. 3. #BoldCreativity: Browne's daring creativity sets him apart as a designer and inspires others to think differently while elevating the industry as a whole.   This was more than a fashion show; it was an unforgettable journey. It resonated deeply with me because it perfectly encapsulated the essence of what we aim to achieve at Jannan Studios: We don't just produce events, we create shared experiences where every detail is meticulously curated to tell a story, evoke emotions, and transport guests on an immersive adventure through time, culture, and imagination.

On this episode I talk art, fashion and DMV style with Washington Wizards creative collaborator and visual artist Chris Pyrate. We discuss how fashion design can allow consumers personal artistic and sylistic flair, sports team colorways and how they can speak to a city and it's populace and the difference between fashion labeled "street" vs. "urban." Listen in! #thefashionlawyer

We bout to start finalizing the concept for the project वि-वन-फोर \V-ONE-4, Sometimes i still get confused, when someone asks me what's वि-वन-फोर \V-ONE-4,? I think i have found my answer for that, "Just a random kid who has love and appreciation for music, art, and fashion, I am happy to announce वि-वन-फोर \V-ONE-4, Where i believe my work will be here for longer time." "This is more than just fashion; it's the narrative of your day. Each piece from वि-वन-फोर \V-ONE-4 weaves a story around you, a story marked by your style and individuality. With clothes crafted by us, every day becomes a canvas, reminding you that life is an art. These are the stories that etch moments into memory. Because, after all वि-वन-फोर \V-ONE-4 is about building a legacy."

So, how can designers become truly inclusive? For Ben Barry, Dean and Associate Professor of Equity and Inclusion at Parsons School of Design - The New School “Part of this is addressing the stigma around fat and disability, and not seeing fat and disabled bodies as design problems to be solved, cured, or fixed. These should not be seen as challenges, but rather as creative openings for new design opportunities, for new silhouettes, for new shapes, and for new ways of thinking about design. This approach puts bodies at the center, without separation or segregation.” Read our second “Reflections” newsletter on what inclusivity means beyond being a buzzword the industry likes to use, the challenge of changing our mindset, and the creative argument for designing for every body:

The #fw24 Collection, "Here, After, Eternity: Netherworld" by FINE CHAOS, presented during the Copenhagen Fashion Week unfolds an intriguing narrative set in a dystopian 2073. This collection beautifully extends the story from its predecessors, depicting a world where the once-dominant FINE CHAOS is overthrown, hinting at a reclaimed democracy. Yet, beneath this apparent power shit, lies a deeper, orchestrated plan know as 'The Netherworld'. This collection intricately blends post-apocalyptic despair with a futuristic vision, where society is segmented into a distinct realm: The desolate Outerworld, the secluded Dome of #FINECHAOS, and the digital utopia of The Netherworld. Each Piece in the collection symbolizes this intricate narrative, inviting viewers to delve into a world where fashion meets storytelling, challenging perception of reality and control. #cphfw

Take a closer look at the designer—down-to-earth and grounded, yet her simplicity belies the mind-blowing creativity she showcase on the fashion stage. It's apt to say, 'Don't judge a book by its cover,' as the real magic lies within her mind. Her growth and development reflect in the stunning innovations and creations she bring to stage.

Why my fashion brand is the fastest-growing company I have ever founded. You see a lot of carnage in the world of fashion startups, so I thought I would share the story of one that is going quite well. This is the first of a few posts where I'll share my take-aways. Follow me (and follow Y.Chroma) to see more, and thanks to my pal Dimitris Bountolos for encouraging me to post this. Last spring I went live with Y.Chroma Apparel, an approachable luxury men's fashion brand I founded which is focused obsessively on men of my generation. (I define that as Gen-X'ers and a big swathe of your younger Boomers.) Video below... It is growing rapidly - and profitably, enjoys a growing base of deeply connected and devoted customers, and provides a fulfilling place for its employees. (And for me.) 1. Knowing your market both statistically and emotionally helps guide product-market fit. My thesis was that among the 60 million men in my customer group (US+Europe), a significant number wake up every morning and regard the contents of their closets with a total absence of joy. They wish to fix this but have no idea how. Although statistics show that they are glad to buy online, the fashion industry neither vigorously markets to them nor sells to them in the way they prefer to buy. I understand this pain point because I am a 52-year-old man, and because I spent some years discussing the pain point with other men of my vintage. While I did add to this a thick layer of economic, consumer behaviour, competitor set and behavioural science research to understand the numbers of my case, my intuitive feel for the customer comes from a lot of very frank over-beer discussions about what hurts. Beer discussions are irreplaceable. 2. Apparel is no harder than any other business, and facing those challenges looks a lot like a lot of other businesses Apparel has all kind of complexity -- just like any other industry. That's why I spent I spent nearly a year in the independent consulting ecosystem before I produced a single garment. Consultants market by publishing books and video content, and those serve the dual role of helping you get smart and identify potential collaborators. A bit of money spent buying these consultants' time is a very good investment. Invest money in working with experienced people. To some extent, this phase is speed dating. Not every relationship will turn into a working relationship, and that is totally fine. In my case, these relationship chains eventually lead me to people who have both the expertise and a belief in the as-yet-unreleased Y.Chroma project. Without them we would not have been able to launch a world-class product. Next Post... 3. Fashion requires investment -- but it can be a good investment when you look at it this way... 4. A fashion business doesn't sell clothes 5. Which metrics matter https://lnkd.in/dQbXKH7U
