Sporty & Rich Arrives for Just in Time for Holidays at Carlyle Hotel New York City
In this November 2024 drop, The Carlyle New York [IG], a Rosewood Hotel, joins Oetker Collection hotels Le Bristol Paris and Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France in launching a custom collaboration with this truly impressive, big-wings brand-potential business Sporty & Rich [IG], founded by Emily Oberg.
In June 2024, Sporty & Rich collaborated with select Rosewood Asaya spas including the Rosewood São Paolo.
In an interview with Glossy in August 2023, Oberg pegged S&R’s revenue at $30 million with a goal of $200 million.
We think it’s much higher, with branding and product synergies that share much in common with SKIMS.
Emily Oberg is not Kim Kardashian, for sure. But she compensates for some of the name-recognition deficit with these rock-solid, prestige hotel alliances that can open new doors and rain money with reorders and fresh collaborations for years.
One can easily argue that Emily Oberg has aligned herself with “old money” hotels — and golf courses in the future — that have many stories to share about the lives of the world’s global elites.

The 2018 Debut of Coco Neige with Margot Robbie Had Deep Roots in Chanel's History
In 2018, Margot Robbie launched Chanel’s first Coco Neige campaign, which was Chanel's first official subbrand for ski and après-ski wear. Featured in these images by the now-passed creative director Karl Lagerfeld himself, Robbie spoke very fondly about the experience of working with the head of the House of Chanel from 1983-2019.
AOC visited the the original campaign after posting the new Chanel Coco Neige 2024/5 campaign, lensed by Juergen Teller with model Loli Bahia. Asking a question of our precious AI about Coco Chanel and if she actually skied, Anne fell down a rabbit hole that has reoriented her entire thinking about Chanel.
Her interest in skiing was not only a personal pastime but also a social event that allowed her to mingle with the elite, continually fueling her creative vision in the process and also captivating new clients for her brand.
Coco had a profound and enduring level of help from her friend, financier, collaborator and lover Arthur "Boy" Capel in penetrating this elite St. Moritz society.

AOC can’t verify that weather prediction for major ski resorts in Europe. But if you are wearing Chanel Coco Neige for cocooning at a ski lodge, you probably have global options regarding where to land the plane.
Chanel ‘Coco Neige’ History
The first Coco Neige collection and campaign dropped in 2018, created by luxury visionary uber-talent Karl Lagerfeld and starring Margot Robbie. Coco Neige promoted itself as a combination of high-tech clothing and winter ready-to-wear.
Coco Neige was not Chanel’s Maiden Ski Collection

Guerlain's Violette Serrat Relaunches G Rouge Lipstick for Paris Lovers
Meet Violette Serrat
French-born Violette Serrat, creative director of makeup for Guerlain since summer 2021, was born and raised in Paris. Serrat understands French women and their love of red lipstick.
Fifteen years after Rouge G’s first Guerlain release, it’s reborn in 40 stunning shades in both velvet-matte and satin finishes. Rouge G is formulated with a new 89 per cent skincare-based formula made with lily oleo extract. Created with lily flowers and paired with sweet almond oil, this complex has smoothing, hydrating and plumping properties and improves the quality of lips worldwide with prolonged wear.
Top faces Natalia Vodianova and Malika El Maslouhi are leading the campaign lensed by Charlotte Wales [IG].

A NYT Darling Deserves His Status
Not for the first time, the New York Times Style shares another major feature on Bottega under Matthieu Blazy. In doing so, they advance the hot topic of craft beyond superb execution and often ‘dusty’ heritage into the world of the creative director role itself.
At Bottega Veneta, Blazy champions his craftspeople for their role in the creative process. His is a rare ego in the world of luxury brands.
The Times introduces us to Barbara Zanin, a 26-year veteran of the brand who became Bottega Veneta’s first director of craft and heritage in July.

Emma Corrin in Miu Miu 'Irreverent Wonder' Holiday 2024 Campaign by Lengua
Miu Miu shares its Holiday 2025 campaign with actor Emma Corrin expressing a boyish insouciance about the holiday, in images captured by Lengua [IG]. Edward Quarmby serves as creative director on the campaign, with styling by Lotta Volkova.
Miu Miu [IG] is riding near cult status among young people in China, as its parent Prada Group reported an 18%, nine-month, year-to-date increase at constant currency. In reported terms, revenue rose 15% placing Prada Group in a positive light navigating China’s economic slowdown in the luxury market and beyond.
Miu Miu’s 2024 Upcycled collection takes a major role in the holiday campaign, a testament to the brand’s commitment to circular design practices. Crafted from re-fashioned deadstock yarn, kilts, and leather, each garment in this limited-edition collection is permeated with a hint of spunk, as the Miu Miu brand explores what it means to be human.

LEVIS X ADSB Fall 2024 Campaign with Evie Harris by Elizaveta Porodina
Photographer Elizaveta Porodina[IG] is a perfect choice to capture the essence of the LEVIS X ADSB Fall 2024 collab. British model Evie Harris is styled by Robbie Spencer in Porodina’s fire images.
Denim is one wardrobe staple that never goes out of style, and the legacy of Levi’s defines it as a true heritage brand.
Besides being just plain cool fashion, LEVIS X ADSB Fall 2024 share a joint commitment to sustainability. This priority resonates with environmentally-conscious consumers who increasingly understand that climate change is not some far-left, hysteria-based hoax.

Sporty & Rich founder Emily Oberg has dropped her new Core Collection, two months after filing a trademark application for a brand called Sensual Sport.
Top model Andreea Diaconu showcases the Core Collection, lensed by Dudi Hasson [IG].
Oberg isn’t selling a sustainability message for Sporty & Rich — although her approach to fashion itself may be more sustainable. But seeing Diaconu reminded me of her 2023 C2C Certified® cashmere campaign for Ralph Lauren. That campaign is very in sync with Oberg’s Sporty & Rich mindset.
