French label #Balenciaga as led by #DemnaGvasalia

French label #Balenciaga as led by #DemnaGvasalia has released a set of campaign images for resort/pre-spring 2021. Making commentary on the absence of in person showroom visits due to #COVID19 concerns, each image features linesheet information including color, textile composition and product numbers.

The collection also doubles down on the theme of placing less emphasis on newness with in-between season collections. In an interview with Vogue, Gvasiala explained, "It was an experiment in showing you don’t always need the new. Fashion has become a race, running after novelty, and more and more. And here we did the opposite. We looked at what we have and asked what we can do with it so it looks different for the customer."

On how fashion can help lighten the load of a world weighed down by a pandemic, he added, "In this lockdown we understood what’s important for people who like fashion and like to dress up: You do it for yourself first and foremost. Working from home started with me wearing boxer shorts and pajama pants: very lazy. I thought, I don’t have to make an effort to make my look every morning, but then I started getting depressed. When I started to dress up every morning, it changed my whole mood, I started to feel good about myself. This is the task that fashion has,to bring this excitement or goodness to the person wearing it. That’s the least we can do."

#BrotherVellies @brothervellies delicious fall 202

#BrotherVellies @brothervellies delicious fall 2020 campaign. Brooklyn-based Brother Vellies was founded by Aurora James in 2013 with the goal of keeping traditional #African design practices, and techniques alive while also creating and sustaining artisanal jobs.

The campaign was styled by @ericjmcneal and shot in #Brooklyn in April by @adrienneraquel and features Egyptian-born American fashion model #AnokYai @anokyai.

Fun fact about Yai? She was discovered in 2017 at age 19 while attending an event at #HowardUniversity's homecoming week by photographer Steven Hall @thesunk who asked to take her picture. The stir caused over his image led to her being signed by @nextmodels.

Within months, Yai was cast as the first #blackmodel to open a runway show for Prada since #NaomiCampbell did so more than 20 years prior (for shame Prada!) in 1997. Yai was only told she had been selected to open the show an hour before she walked.

Another #retail fatality: #NSTO Corp-owned #NeedSu

Another #retail fatality: #NSTO Corp-owned #NeedSupply and #Totokaelo are closing down all retail operations. "NSTO, Need Supply Co. and Totokaelo are beginning to wind-down their businesses and cease operations,” said Corey S. Booker, an attorney representing the company. Booker didn't state why the businesses are closing or provide timing for the wind down or going-out-of-business sale.

Need Supply was founded in Careytown, Virginia by Christopher Bossola in 1996. According to richmond.com, "NSTO Corp. was created in 2019 when Need Supply Co. merged operations with Seattle-based Totokaelo, creating NSTO as a holding company. The merger combined Need Supply’s three stores: its flagship store in Carytown and two licensed stores in Japan, with Totokaelo stores in New York and Seattle.

“We intend to be the largest and most influential fashion platform in the U.S.,” Bossola said in a statement in April 2019 at the time of the merger. “These brands have been leading the intersection of luxury fashion and premium streetwear for more than two decades.”
