First the disclosure – I LOVE the SS16 Chloé collection. Those colour combos, the contrast between the semi-opaque silks and the sporty separates, the slip dresses, the sandals, the dungaree maxidress, the lace and much more. So I was always going to like the ad campaign too (unless they messed it up really badly of…
It’s always a bit weird when a designer’s final collection for any brand goes on sale. And it’s equally strange when the ad campaign is unveiled for that collection, which is the case for Balenciaga this season. While Balenciaga is poised for a new era under Demna Gvasalia, the fact is that the product (and…
Thank goodness for ponchos and scarves. That must be what Burberry CEO, creative chief and general all-round Big Boss Christopher Bailey must be thinking. They rescued what could have been a tricky Q3 for the luxury trailblazer.
I’m always intrigued when each new Dolce & Gabbana ad campaign is released to see how the oh-so-Italian label will gently revamp its particular brand of luxe, sexy, southern Italian style. Just as the label’s collections are a continual reinvention of the same basic theme, so the ads recreate the dolce vita Sicilian sunshine lifestyle season-after-season.…
Well, we weren’t expecting that. Louis Vuitton creative supremo Nicolas Ghesquière may have said back in October that his SS16 collection was all about a dark virtual reality. But we didn’t take him seriously. Now he’s taken virtual reality a step further by revealing the ad campaign for that collection. And the star of the…
Hedi Slimane isn’t trying to win over any traditionalists with his SS16 ad campaign for Saint Laurent. The clothes may be ultra-expensive but the look and feel is grunge-meets-morning-after-the-night-before. The black and white images featuring models Signe Lund and Steffi Soede are seen with still life shots that say I’m-not-quite-sure-what (there’s bound to be some…
At last – some good news for Prada. The investment specialists at Morningstar.co.uk said today that the company still has a competitive advantage despite all of its recent woes. Morningstar’s conclusion is that it “shows high margins and returns on capital” and “possesses one of the most visible luxury brands in the world [with] long-term…
Too many high-end designer brands are getting it oh-so-wrong when it comes to their e-commerce sites says a new report. And you might be surprised who are the sector stars and who are failing to maximise opportunities online.
The pre-fall collections moved into a higher gear today as Gucci released Alessandro Michele’s latest collection… and it’s a real ‘collection’. 78 looks, rather than the 20 or so many labels send out for pre-season. It continues the exuberant retro-boho-luxe-dressing up looks that Michele obviously loves (you can never accuse him of being a minimalist)…
“Please let Mulberry’s turnaround work,” I thought to myself as I opened the notification of its latest half-year report this morning. You see, despite the brand’s attempts to compete with the Pradas and Guccis and squeeze ever-higher amounts of money out of its customers in recent years, like many people in the UK, I do…
