Barcelona-based Syndical Chamber designer Sergio Castaño Peña shocked fashion lovers yesterday when he accused Jean Paul Gaultier of copying his concept of a naked Trompe L’oeil dress. Accusing Gaultier of “stealing,” Peña commented on a Jean Paul Gaultier Instagram post celebrating a naked dress made in collaboration with stylist Lotta Volkova. While Peña’s comment was deleted, he liked multiple comments also accusing Gaultier of copying the dress,

Outraged users pushed back on the accusations in the comment section and on Twitter, while fashion lovers responded with posts documenting “naked” looks designed by Gaultier dating back to the ’90s. In a tweet accompanied by images of Gaultier’s naked designs over the years, popular fashion account @fashionfaquette wrote, “I’m disturbed that an ICON like Jean Paul Gaultier is being accused of ‘stealing’. Just because something is popularized by a brand doesn’t mean its their original idea.@/syndicalchamber has been creating knock off’s for months/years now. Don’t EVER disrespect a legend.”

Jumping in on the backlash, Jean Paul Gaultier’s official Twitter account has been reposting tweets coming to his defense. Gaultier and Volkova’s four-piece capsule priced from €140-€590 is now sold out.

Relatively new on the fashion scene, Syndical Chamber’s naked dresses featuring graphics of over-sized drops of water have been spotted on Iggy Azalia, Bebe Rexha and Bella Thorne. Vogue in 2019 wrote a introductory profile on Peña who was then described as a 25-year-old emerging designer of a label called Sucksexfully. On the label’s site, Peña lists Desigual and Vetements as part of his fashion resume.

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?
