The waltz of the creators continues
In the great game of musical chairs, fashion is definitely a serious candidate. After the thunderous announcement of the arrival of Riccardo Tisci at Burberry, it is the turn of French houses to talk about them.
At LVMH, the cool Kim Jones, former artistic director Louis Vuitton Homme, is propelled at the head of Dior Homme collections, simultaneously leading the departure of Kris Van Assche , in office for 11 years. On the women's ready-to-wear side, it's first of all this week Nina Ricci and Guillaume Henry who have declared an end to a rich collaboration of three years. However, we know neither his successor nor the future projects of the creator.
Same refrain with Lanvin, who after only two seasons has decided to separate from Olivier Lapidus whose first collections have obviously not convinced. After that of Bouchra Jarrar, this flash passage confirms the difficulty of replacing Alber Elbaz, fired in October 2015.
Britney Spears , new muse Kenzo
This is the unexpected info of the week. An acclaimed Generation Y pop star, Britney Spears is emerging from the media spotlight as the face of Kenzo's Memento # 2 collection, a line revisiting the iconic models and patterns of the house. Total-denim look, sharp waders and top cropped de rigueur: the interpreter of Baby One More Time poses under the lens of Peter Lindberg in silhouettes resurrecting the stylistic codes of the 2000s. A return to the future as confusing as audacious who will not fail to talk.
Reflections , the new Bottega Veneta campaign
To celebrate its new spring-summer 2018 collection, Bottega Veneta launches Reflections , a series of 6 mini-films made in collaboration with multiple artistic talents, from photographer Fabien Baron to composer Johnny Jewels , to Tomas Maier , artistic director of the Italian house.
