Boston-based retailer CNCPTS taps into the artistr

Boston-based retailer CNCPTS taps into the artistry of Champagne making with its latest collab, the New Balance 740 “Saignée.” Inspired by the niche Champagne-making process known as Rosé de Saignée.

Speaking about the release, CNCPTS Creative Director Deon Point explains, "We were really inspired by the combination of warm and cool tones in the color palette of a bottle of rosé Champagne. The season is filled with celebration and no shortage of Champagne being poured, so for us, we wanted to bring that same vibrant spirit and mix of details to the design of the 740."

The CNCPTS x New Balance 760 "Saignée" drop Friday, Dec. 13 at 11AM EST on CNCPTS' site. In-store raffles (Boston, NYC, Miami) open Dec. 11 at noon EST.

Off-White celebrates the bond between its late fou

Off-White celebrates the bond between its late founder Virgil Abloh and Bstroy founders Brick Owens and Dieter “Du” Grams with its latest “Out Of Office” sneaker collaboration.

The design was sparked by an organic exchange of ideas in a group thread between Du, Brick, and Virgil. True to form, Virgil replied to a shared concept by screenshotting the image and marking it up with finger-drawn sketches, including an arrow pointing to Du’s 40th anniversary Porsche 911. That arrow became the muse for transforming the sneaker’s signature leather arrow into a raw, hand-drawn motif.

The two sneaker colorways are now available on the Off-White website and if you're in New York check out the launch event happening at the Mercer street store this evening. Last slide for event deets!

Legendary French fashion house Chanel allegedly ha

Legendary French fashion house Chanel allegedly has selected Matthieu Blazy as its next creative director. Blazy is currently the creative director for Bottega Veneta, a role he's held since 2017.

The rumor was first divulged in mid-November by WWD, which reported that the label plans to reveal former creative director Virginine Viard's successor in mid-December.

The news recently was confirmed by Puck New reporter Lauren Sherman who added that Chanel would make the official announcement on December 16th. Sherman also noted that Carven designer Louise Trotter will likely take over Blazy's role at Bottega Veneta, part of a house of brands held by Kering Group.

Since Viard departed her role as lead creative in June, Chanel is said to have interviewed Pieter Mulier, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Jeremy Scott, Simon Porte Jacquemus and Marc Jacobs for the role.

Born in Paris, the 40-year-old Blazy is a graduate of La Cambre in Brussels. While in school, he interned at Balenciaga and John Galliano and began his career as a menswear designer for Raf Simons.

In 2011, he brought his talents to Maison Margiela where he was known to have designed the crystal mask worn by Ye during the 2013 Yeezus tour. He joined Celine under Phoebe Philo's direction in 2014 and was eventually appointed senior designer of pre-collections.

When Simons was tapped as creative director of Calvin Klein in 2016, Blazy joined his team in New York and was appointed design director of women's ready-to-wear, a role he held until 2019.

In 2020, Blazy was appointed design director of ready-to-wear at Bottega Veneta. Two weeks prior to an ugly falling out between Bottega Veneta creative director Daniel Lee and the company, Blazy quit his role. After Lee was let go, Blazy returned to the label and was announced as creative director in November 2021.
