Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin One of the biggest challenges for any purpose-led brand pursuing game-changer status isn’t breeding a fanbase who ‘get it’ but selling a vital new narrative to the hardcore apathetic. For fashion, mired in climate crisis and battling the clock to cultivate a circular economy, retuning fans’ mindsets (America throws away and 2150 pieces of clothing every second and even people with positive eco intentions are loathe to sacrifice what they perceive as an identify-defining hobby ) is now mission imperative. Dutch fashion brand 1/OFF Paris, whose couturiers splice together or respectfully reinterpret iconic vintage garments to create ultra-covetable new pieces (think: a Levi’s denim jacket with Chanel’s quintessential ladies-who-lunch tweed; double layered jeans; or two oversized classic men’s blazers tailored into a freshly feminized silhouette) is doing just that. Selling to an audience including legions of the … [Read more...] about 1/OFF Paris: 400% Growth For The Upcycled Fashion Brand Taking Sustainability To Luxury’s Eco-Apathetic

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin If La Liga returned tomorrow, few teams would be nearly ready. It’s the summer transfer window. Players are holidaying, and most teams around Europe are intent on trimming their squads ahead of the preseason, let alone the thinking about the ultimate kick-off in mid-August. Behind the scenes, club departments are scanning the market, liaising with agents and managing outgoings. Some sides have acted quickly, and others still have plenty to do. In Spain, you can see both sides of the spectrum. If top-flight soccer began sooner than expected, national and European champion Real Madrid would be almost raring to go. Asides from the preseason rigors and getting players back up to speed, it has already assembled a squad to hit the ground running. In an alternate reality, financially compromised Barcelona—La Liga runner-up last time around—would be nowhere near prepared if the matches resumed shortly. With negotiations … [Read more...] about As Cash-Hungry Barcelona Attempts To Keep Up, Real Madrid Looks Dominant

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin At the start of Avenue Montaigne, in the heart of Paris, stands the newly opened Henry Jacques Perfumes boutique. Though the family-owned French perfume house was launched in 1975, this is their first store in their home country. That’s because the location and building itself had to be perfect, with a rich history—no compromises or corner cutting, true to the heritage of Henry Jacques Perfumes . And flawless it is, with its Belle Époque exterior, and a private garden—a true rarity on Avenue Montaigne—with flowers that change with the season. “It was my dream to enter the store through a garden,” says Anne-Lise Cremona, CEO of Henry Jacques Perfumes. “I wanted a house, a place where clients can come and spend time, because luxury is time for yourself—it’s very rare.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin As seven of the world’s wealthiest nations meet, it has been revealed that billions of dollars in aid for the poorest countries are being rerouted into climate finance, with G7 nations appearing to indulge in what amounts to a form of creative accounting with regard to their international commitments. A new report from the charity CARE shows that, rather than providing additional money to help developing nations respond to climate change as promised under international agreements, wealthy states like the U.S., Canada and France are consistently overreporting the amount of money they’re providing, while diverting money meant for other development programs. In total, CARE found that an estimated $103 billion of climate finance reported by G7 nations has simply been siphoned straight out of development aid budgets, including funds intended for health, education, gender equality and poverty alleviation. Between 2011 and … [Read more...] about As G7 Meets, The World’s Richest Nations Water Down Aid And Climate Finance

Leonardo Del Vecchio Italy's Leonardo Del Vecchio, who rose from childhood poverty to build the eyewear empire that owns brands such as Ray-Ban and Oakley, has died at the age of 87, his company said on Monday. Del Vecchio added a dash of Italian style to spectacles and became one of Europe's wealthiest men, investing some of his riches to build stakes in Italian financial group Mediobanca and insurer Generali. The billionaire founded the Luxottica business in 1961, initially to supply components for glasses, and remained the chairman and major shareholder in the world's biggest eyewear group after it combined forces with France's Essilor in 2018. Fashion designer Giorgio Armani was among those to pay tribute to Del Vecchio with whom he had worked since the 1980s. "Together, we invented a phenomenon that did not exist: we immediately realised that glasses, from simple functional objects would become indispensable fashion accessories," Armani said.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin When Keanu Reeves was asked about NFTs while promoting The Matrix: Resurrections , he famously laughed at the idea, as most people tend to do. That down-to-earth quality is integral to Reeves’ charm - he comes across as a humble dude, who, somehow, didn’t let the ego-expanding elements of celebrity get to him. But seemingly, the crypto-bros did. Reeves, along with his partner, Alexandra Grant, are now acting as advisers to a program called the “Futureverse Foundation,” a project from Non-Fungible Labs; the foundation aims to improve “the digital and physical worlds through the support of diverse artists and creative communities.” According to The Hollywood Reporter , the project aims to make NFTs more “inclusive,” and will guide traditional artists into converting their pieces to NFTs, so they can be put up for sale in the metaverse. After all, the most important thing about maintaining a pyramid scheme is … [Read more...] about Keanu Reeves Falls To The ‘Dark Side,’ Embraces NFTs
