Louis Vuitton Taps Johnny Coca to Lead Handbags Division
May 26, 2020 at 03:30PM The winds of change are blowing fast through European fashion houses right now. Following Alessandro Michele’s announcement that Gucci is to go seasonless and show just twice a year, Louis Vuitton has announced that Johnny Coca will join the storied French luxury house to look after its handbags and accessories as the women’s fashion leather goods director. The ex-Mulberry designer will join Nicolas Ghesquière at the brand from June 2. The role is a perfect fit for Coca for a number of reasons –first, he was single-handedly responsible for reviving Mulbery’s handbag offering by reimagining the brand’s logo, introducing two new bag styles and reintroducing men’s accessories during his time at the British house. And second, he actually began his career as a leather goods designer for the house after he graduated. In a release, Ghesquière touched on the history saying, “I am very pleased that [Coca] is joining me on this journey that started a few years ago. The team and I look forward to working with him in the inspiring world of Louis Vuitton.” Meanwhile, Delphine Arnault, the brand’s executive vice president, said Coca is “in perfect unison with Louis Vuitton’s spirit and shares our vision” adding that he “will strengthen our creative energy and our ability to innovate.” Prior to his work at Mulberry, Coca was the head design director for leather goods, accessories, shoes and jewellery at Celine for five years, and was at Bally before that. Coca joins an all-star

I Was Scared of Face Oils Until I Discovered This £30 One
May 26, 2020 at 02:00PM There’s no doubting that of all the beauty products out there, face oil is definitely one of the most divisive. The reason? While some claim that using face oil actually balances oily skin—resulting in less oil production and a natural, lit-from-within glow—others believe that it’s too heavy for some skin types, with certain oils actually clogging pores and exacerbating breakouts. So despite celebrities like Pixi Geldof and Julia Roberts raving about the benefits of using argan oil and olive oil on their faces, I’ve remained slightly nervous about regularly slathering something so greasy onto my spot-prone skin. That is, until I learned about another type of oil that not only promised a whole host of skin benefits but claimed to be the perfect face oil for those of us with oily, acne-prone or sensitive complexions. Grapeseed oil is nothing new, but if you’re anything like me, you might not have been aware of its skincare benefits. In fact, with trendier ingredients like coconut oil constantly hitting the beauty headlines, you might not have heard of grapeseed oil at all. Naturally brimming with vitamins C, D and E—alongside high levels of omega-6 fatty acids and linoleic acid—grapeseed oil contains basically all of the stuff our skin needs to look and feel healthy. Plus it’s naturally anti-inflammatory (so it’s great for calming irritated or sensitive skin), antimicrobial (so it targets spot-causing bacteria) and noncomedogenic—meaning that it won’t clog your pores. Turns out celebs aren’t immune to the benefits of grapeseed oil either. Emma Stone, who is also a
Self-Isolation Diary: A Day in the Life of John Fluevog
May 26, 2020 at 02:48PM We’re now in Month 3 of self-isolation with an uncertain road ahead but for some much-needed inspiration, FASHION is reaching out to some of our favourite Canadians to get a peek into how they’re living their lives in lockdown (remember: #StayHomeSaveLives). Each week, keep an eye out for new self-isolation diaries from actors, designers, influencers and artists who are riding this uncertain time out with us. John Fluevog, designer My wife and I returned from Melbourne (where we had been visiting the new—and first—Fluevog store in Australia) on March 20th to find that all our stores were closing. No cash flow, no income and not knowing what the future looked like. On top of that, most of the retail staff who are really part of our family were having to be laid off. It was a lot of shock and disbelief and then panic. I felt upside down and shaken. My life of slowly building up a brand was looking like it was being torn from me in an instant. The future was changing day to day and it did not look promising. It was as if someone had pressed a huge pause button in the sky and the whole world had stopped. The biggest thing that I did and that helped was to focus on being thankful for each day. I could not plan for the future but I could change what I was thinking about today. Each day, I focused on what I

Gucci Calls the Fashion Schedule “Worn Out” and Decides on Seasonless Shows Twice a Year
May 26, 2020 at 01:26PM It’s no secret that the coronavirus (COVID-19) is the push the fashion industry needed to clean up its act. Now that everything from garment supply chains to performative fashion shows are in desperate need of restructuring, who will be the voices of fashion’s future? Gucci’s Alessandro Michele is one person leading that conversation and thinks the annual seven-season fashion show schedule is “worn out” – we couldn’t agree more. Following Gucci‘s virtual press conference on Sunday 24 May, creative director Alessandro Michele took to Instagram to elaborate on how the brand is embracing a more sustainable fashion show schedule. “I will abandon the worn out rituals of seasonalities and show to regain a new cadence, closer to my expressive call,” Michele muses in a poetic Instagram carousel captioned Diario. “We will meet just twice a year, to share the chapters of a new story. Irregular, joyful and absolutely free chapters, which will be written blending rules and genres, feeding on new spaces, linguistic codes, and communication platforms. And beyond. I would like to leave behind the paraphernalia of leitmotifs that colonized our prior world: cruise, pre-fall, spring-summer, fall-winter. I think these are stale and underfed words. Labels of an impersonal discourse that lost its meaning.” Ahead, Alessandro Michele’s full thoughts on the future of fashion’s show schedule.
