“Fashion isn’t just what we wear; it’s how we tell the world who we are.” London Fashion Week just hit the big 4-0, and it’s far from slowing down—it’s evolving. From the streets of Lagos to the runways of London, fashion is a global movement, and it’s more exciting than ever to see how creativity and culture collide. This season, it’s all about celebrating what makes London a leader in fashion: fearless innovation, diverse voices, and the beautiful chaos that is London’s creative scene. The LeJournal Bleu by @1664 Blanc captures these stories in real time, showcasing what fashion has done for the world—and how it’s just getting started. As someone who’s passionate about fashion and culture, I see London as a city that embodies what it means to embrace change and self-expression through design. And to all the emerging talents pushing boundaries—this is your stage. Fashion is bold. Fashion is storytelling. And right now, London Fashion Week is showing us why the world is watching. #LFW40 #CulturalPride #StorytellingThroughStyle #1664Blanc #FashionAndArt #FromLagosToLondon

The first Monday in May: Fashion's biggest red carpet and party moment! The Met Gala in New York City. What is it? It’s The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute benefit, a black-tie extravaganza held the first Monday in May. Hosted by Anna Wintour,editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, it is the party of the year, the Oscars of the East Coast. One of the co-hosts of the event is actress, Zendaya. In the image she is going to a pre-opening event party. The event is a celebration of fashion's influence on culture, with the theme "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" highlighting the ways in which fashion can revitalize and reinterpret cultural heritage. How can fashion revitalize and reintrpret cultural heritage? 🔸 Self-expression and identity: Fashion allows individuals to express their personality, values, and beliefs, helping to shape their sense of self and identity. 🔸 Social status and hierarchy: Fashion has long been a marker of social status, with certain styles and brands signifying wealth, prestige, or belonging to a particular group. 🔸 Cultural exchange and diversity: Fashion facilitates cross-cultural exchange, with styles and influences from different cultures blending and evolving into new trends. 🔸 Artistic and creative expression: Fashion is a form of artistic expression, with designers and stylists using clothing, textiles, and accessories as a medium for creative storytelling. 🔸 Economic and social change: Fashion can drive economic growth, influence social change, and reflect shifting values and attitudes, such as the rise of sustainable fashion. 🔸 Music, film, and art inspiration: Fashion is often inspired by music, film, and art, and in turn, influences these creative fields. 🔸 Historical and cultural heritage*: Fashion can preserve cultural heritage and historical traditions, with traditional clothing and textiles being reinterpreted and reimagined for modern times. Zendaya's 1998 archival gown from designer John Galliano, below, features embroidered butterflies and florals is a stunning example of how fashion can pay homage to the past while embracing the present. #fashion #Metmuseum #costumeinstitute #personalbrand #smashingdaily

So, Met Gala this year has come and gone, what happens with all those gorgeous pieces created for just this occasion? echiché has deets on this and frankly it looks like more can be done to be more sustainable. Let me know your thoughts. #Sustainablefashion

“The Garden of Time”; the Irony of this year’s Met Gala🙄😅 The theme, "The Garden of Time," celebrates the Costume Institute's upcoming exhibition, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion." A visually stunning exploration of the fragility and ephemerality of fashion, the exhibition features around 250 nature-themed garments and accessories, described as a "celebration of clothing and fashion so fragile that it can't ever be worn again." As we marvel at the intricate designs and delicate embellishments showcased at the Met Gala, we must also confront the stark reality of our industry's impact on the environment. The garments paraded on the red carpet will only ever be worn once, destined to languish in museum archives rather than being enjoyed and cherished. As we celebrate the artistry of fashion, we must also acknowledge our responsibility to the planet. The Met Gala serves as a reminder of the urgent need for change in an industry that too often prioritises profit over sustainability. As a fashion designer and lover myself, indulging in the spectacle of the Met Gala each year is one of my guilty pleasures; though, this year’s theme felt too ironic to ignore. There has to be a more sustainable way to enjoy fashion?! What are your thoughts?👇 ID: dark image of flowers, with a title that says “The ‘delicious irony’ of the Met Gala’s Garden of Time theme. #MetGala #Fashion #Sustainability #EthicalFashion #ClimateCrisis #DEWEY

Ever wondered what happens to all those gorgeous Met Gala outfits? Janelle Monae's stunning Vera Wang creation at the 2024 Met Gala made from recycled plastic served as a powerful reminder: these are not just dresses, they can spark powerful sustainability conversations. So what becomes of these garments after their red carpet moment?… The current practice involves returning most gowns to designers. However, the lack of transparency regarding their ultimate fate leaves room for improvement. While repurposed and archival looks like Kim Kardashian's Marilyn Monroe dress and Kendall Jenner's Alexander McQueen for Givenchy piece offer a glimpse into potential avenues, a more sustainable and comprehensive approach is necessary. Exploring Options for a Sustainable Future: ♻️ Archiving: Preserving these creations in a museum setting allows future generations to appreciate the artistry and fashion history they embody ♻️ Loan Programs: Institutions could partner with designers to loan iconic pieces ♻️ Sustainable Materials and Practices: Encouraging designers to use eco-friendly materials and construction techniques would minimise environmental impact The Met Gala's influence on fashion is undeniable. It's time the conversation extends beyond the red carpet spectacle to the gowns themselves. What are your thoughts? Share your ideas for ensuring these intricate pieces have a lasting legacy beyond a single night. #MetGala #SustainableFashion #JanelleMonae #VeraWang #Sustainability #Fashion #EchicheMovement #ClimateAction #FutureofFashion

#chanel has been setting the standard for years in the Grand Palais in Paris. #louisvuitton is going beyond with Pharrell Williams as creative director. But...Moncler is mastering the immersive experience in the snow-decked forests of St. Moritz during their fall/winter 2024 show! Question for next week's blog. Will fashion shows remain the pinnacle of brand experiences for luxury brands? Or are brands pushed to create new concepts to keep their level of exclusivity? #2024outlook #luxurybrands #marketing #experientialmarketing #brandstrategy

As Fashion Week kicks off this September, we are reminded of the incredible artistry and craftsmanship that define the luxury fashion industry. While the runway dazzles with opulence, there's a critical conversation growing louder each season: How can we make these grand events more sustainable without compromising their iconic grandeur? The article "Luxury’s Fashion Events and Sustainability: Compatible or Not?" highlights that sustainability and luxury are not mutually exclusive. I couldn't agree more. Although the shift towards eco-conscious practices may seem gradual, these incremental changes are making a real impact. From selecting sustainable venues and materials to implementing carbon offset programs, luxury brands are beginning to prioritize environmental responsibility. Notably, brands like Gucci and LVMH are setting new standards by embracing carbon-neutral practices and supporting circular economies. The fashion industry has a powerful opportunity to set trends that extend beyond aesthetics, inspiring change in how we consume, create, and celebrate fashion. As a designer passionate about sustainability, I believe that small, consistent steps in the right direction will eventually lead us to a more harmonious future where luxury and sustainability coexist. What are your thoughts on balancing fashion's creativity with its environmental footprint? #SustainabilityInFashion #FashionWeek2024 #EcoFashion #LuxurySustainability
