VFiles Extravaganza For AW16

February 12, 2016. 2 Comments

New York retailer VFiles once again kicked off NYFW with a bang, with a show centered around a selection of five up and coming designers, discovered within VFiles.com’s virtual creative community with finalists selected by a panel of mentors. This year the winning designers were Anton Belinskiy (Kiev), Kim Shui (New York City), Hardeman (Amsterdam), Ottolinger (Berlin) and Neurocouture (New York).

The event, as much about incubating and encouraging new talent as it is keeping fashion’s misfit child spirit alive, opened with a marching band and a preview of VFile’s collaboration with Studio XO on a wearable tech line. The presentation was immediately followed by a performance by Beyoncé’s  Parkwood Entertainment signee, r&b singer Sophie Beem.

Designer Kim Shui kicked off the show with a collection of reconsructed looks the designer described as appropriate for women with an “off-kilter sense of elegance.” The New York based designer has a eye for color and texture,  mixing and contrasting materials that are seemingly odd choices when standing alone, but when joined with other fabrics make a modern and nuanced statement. Shui received a nod from Kyle Jenner, who attended the show wearing the designer’s lace jumpsuit.

Anton Belinsky was up next, offering bright and bold, sporty unisex collection, highlighted by over-sized capes, anoraks and jackets layered over silky dresses and slacks using rouching to make sculpted statements. The colorful collection was brought together by the footwear with all the models wearing pairs of all-white New Balance 624.

The Hardeman presentation was a big crowd favorite, and lit up the room with denim-themed offerings highlighting the fabric’s ability to be multi-faceted. Designer Sophie Hardemann described the collection as intentionally “deconstructed and dislocated and out of proportion,” adding “I wanted to take the malfunction and discomfort and make that sexy.” Hardemann was aided by a merry band of models who cavorted down the runway, breathing further life into the spirit of the collection.

Ottolinger made up of design duo Christa Bösch and Cosima Gadient conveyed a cool girl punkish sensibility with a collection they said was themed on deconstructing and “messing with fabrics and seeing how far you can push the edge of what can be worn.”

Winner of the wearable tech category, label Neurocouture showed a line whose lights were designed to communicate and reflect the wearer’s state of mine.

The show closed with a performance by Compton rapper Tyga, who showed his support of the event by wearing a yellow jacket designed by Belinsky.

Retailer Atmos, owned by Foot Locker will be ceasi Retailer Atmos, owned by Foot Locker will be ceasing operations in North America. The website and retail locations will be shutting down to further focus on Japan in Asia.

In press about the announcement Atmos SVP and GM Patrick Walsh says,"The Atmos brand has a unique and authentic identity, character and spirit. Given the strength of Atmos in Japan and Asia, we are focused on further investing in this market. Though in line with this focus and our plans for simplification, we have made the strategic decision to close our three Atmos stores in North America and our Atmos U.S. website. We are confident that this is the right move for Atmos and will help us continue to work in service of bringing sneaker and street culture to our customers in Asia.”

The Atmos women's store in Philadelphia opened in October 2022!!
Today, Kering announced the appointment of Dublin, Today, Kering announced the appointment of Dublin, Ireland-born designer Sean McGirr as the new creative director of Alexander McQueen after the departure of Sarah Burton.

A graduate of London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins fashion school, he embarked on his career as an assistant at Burberry and Vogue Hommes Japan before becoming part of the creative team at Uniqlo. Prior to his tenure at JW Anderson, McGirr served as the womenswear designer at the renowned Belgian fashion brand, Dries Van Noten.

With the appointment of McGuirr Kering no longer has any woman creative director for its fashion brands. The visual on the slide.

A new #Gucci luggage campaign under Sabato de Sarn A new #Gucci luggage campaign under Sabato de Sarno's creative direction starring Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny, was unveiled this weekend.

To give context to the campaign, a portion of the press release reads,"Shot in an airport, the meeting place where journeys begin, the campaign explores the intimacy of traveling together through the creative lens of Anthony Seklaoui. Stills capture the fleeting spirit of Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny's airport stroll, redefining the Jet Set glamour of the 1990s."

Does this campaign count as a relationship hard launch?

Sarah Burton presented her last collection as Alex Sarah Burton presented her last collection as Alexander McQueen's creative director during Paris Fashion Week this Saturday. Naomi campbell closed the show in a stunning silver dress!

Burton's tenure as creative director for Alexander McQueen has  been remarkable, spanning an impressive 26 years. Her ability to maintain the brand's distinctive blend of beauty and edge is noteworthy.

Burton became creative director in  2010 after the tragic loss of Lee Alexander McQueen. As the only female creative director in Kering's fashion portfolio, her contributions have been significant, and her departure, in our opinion leaves a big gap in a house with a very deep and unique brand dna. 

Any thoughts on who will be the next McQueen creative director?
