Reference and Remix at Kenzo

PARIS, France — In today's age of appropriation, there are many designers who act more like curators than inventors of new forms. They are closer to stylists or DJs in the way they work, creating something new from an assemblage of existing pieces. Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, creative directors at Kenzo, belong to this category. (Of course, they rose to prominence as retailers, which is a form of curating).

Off-White's Clubkid Collage

PARIS, France — Virgil Abloh's fashion career was spawned at a time when the art of fashion design was becoming more of an exercise in appropriation, collage and creative direction. Abloh trained as an architect, yet his clothes lean less sculptural. Instead, they openly steal and borrow, keenly aware of the rule-breakers who came before them — Helmut Lang, Martin Margiela, Hedi Slimane — and, as such, tread a fine line between trendy streetwear and evening wear elements.

His latest show was an edgy wardrobing exercise of pieces that had little in common, ticking too many boxes to form a cohesive whole. From the clubkid energy of his opening looks (there were baggy pants, second skin turtlenecks and fanny packs) to the raw femininity of linen bustiers bursting with metallic pleats, there was a serious disconnect. It felt counterintuitive, echoing neither Gucci's eclecticism nor Vetements' aggressive sportswear with any great conviction.

Nobility, Misery and Fun at Miu Miu

PARIS, France — “Nobility and misery” was the line that Miuccia Prada fed journalists after her MiuMiu show in Wednesday. Nobility there was in her reference to Gobelin, the finest tapestries of the 16th and 17th centuries, which appeared repurposed as bomber jackets and maxiskirts, even jean jackets. And that was the clue to the third part of the collection’s equation: fun. (The misery was clearly a conceptual point because there was no evidence of it on the catwalk, unless you count the apocalyptic undertow of her declaration, “Dressing is what’s left.”)

What trends are changing Online retail?

Rob has addressed mainstream trends taking place in online retail thoroughly, however, I would like to shed some light on the new business models and user behaviours that emerged recently in e-commerce and are revolutionizing this space.


1)     Platform verticals
Ebay and Amazon were for years the king and queen of all platforms. However, recently with the overwhelming amount of data and products on both platforms consumers start to shift to smaller, more specialised and targeted platforms such as Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/). I believe, it is quite natural for most of the platforms to degenerate in that way. Think Myspace. Once two or in some cases even three generations of one family started to occupy the platform, a small group of users, namely students, decided to shift to a platform that targeted their needs better- Facebook.) Thinking in analogical terms, a subset of Ebay sellers decided to shift to a platform which fulfilled their needs better with regard to selling handmade goods- Etsy. This can go on indefinitely, given than the subset of users is big enough to build a compelling market place. In the coming years with more products being available on-line and greater Internet penetration worldwide I would expect users to be more demanding and hence further verticals expansion: e.g. Linkedin for athletes, Facebook for elderly etc.
