/
Veronica Leoni has been the Genius vision behind womenswear since 2018, adding her sophisticated design eye to the confines of the puffer-centric codes of Moncler. The adaptation required by the design-vision fence in which the Jil Sander and Philo-era Celine alum had to create was challenging at best.
She perservered and now celebrates the fact that the fall /winter 2022.23 collection contains her “favorite puffer ever”. In a word AOC must credit to Luke Leitch, Leoni’s silhouettes are typically ‘unlumpen’. Perfectly stated!
Much of the materials used in the fall /winter 2022.23 2 Moncler 2 1952 is Como-warehoused deadstock. Additionally, Moncler will go fur-free after the fall 2023 collection
All of these advancements and learnings with Moncler help Veronica Leoni advance her personal project QUIRA, a brand apart from Moncler, named after her grandmother, the seamstress Quirina.

Read MoreBalenciaga Deletes All References to Kanye West and Ye With Few Words but Bold Actions
/
After removing all visible references to Ye, known to the world as Kanye West, from their own websites on Thursday — along with any products sold on third-party websites carrying an association beween Balenciaga and the rapper/creative marketer of all things Ye or Yeezy — Balenciaga has issued a statement Friday saying that the luxury label no longer has "any relationship nor any plans for future projects related to this artist.”
On Oct. 17, the Kering-owned luxury label fashion giant announced that saying Kanye’s runway imagers was removed from Balenciaga’s Spring 2023 Paris fashion show and also from Vogue Runway, as well as the Balenciaga website.
Balenciaga’s severing of any association with Kanye West is due to his recent anti-Semitic statements and threatening behavior, as expressed on the podcast Drink Champs. Kanye has threatened to go death con 3 on Jews in recent days.
Additionally, West’s right-wing, conspiracy-theory assertion that George Floyd died of a drug overdose — and not because of the nine-minute, knee on his neck, no-mercy murder that the entire world watched live — was stated as a reason why Balenciaga has severed all connections to Kanye West, legally known as Ye.

Model Anna Mila Guyenz is styled by Francesca Rinciari in a Barbiecore fashion feast, lensed by Javier Biosva [IG], that plays directly into the highly-anticipated Barbie film, scheduled for release July 21, 2023. This reality check locks down the style supposition that pink passion has not yet peaked.
Advanced prisons have pink rooms and it’s at least rumoured that some football teams have painted the opposing team’s guest locker rooms pink. All roads lead to Iow’s Kinnick Stadium on this topic. Beware that the original pink prisons research has not been duplicated. The BBC drilled down deeply on this connection between color and brain activity last July.

We Cannot Be Silent About Kanye West’s Anti-Semitism
Ari Emanuel is one of the Jews Kanye was wailing about yesterday in his grievance-centered, interview with Chris Cuomo.
Emanuel has called upon companies like Apple and Spotify, like Adidas who is currently reviewing their contractual relationship with West and other business partners who raise revenue off of Kanye West, to suspend their relationships.
“West is not just any person — he is a pop culture icon with millions of fans around the world,” Emanuel wrote in an op-ed for The Financial Times. “And among them are young people whose views are still being formed. This is why it is necessary for all of us to speak out. Hatred and anti-Semitism should have no place in our society, no matter how much money is at stake.”

Where Heritage Is Proud, Celebrate It
The Fall 2022 campaign with models Mica Arganaraz and Sam Mallos, shot by photographer Henrik Purienne in Palm Springs, CA was described by the Etro family creatives as “our road to nowhere towards faraway worlds, sun-drenched as far as the eye can see, strong in the nomadic and curious spirit that has always pushed us forward, because it is never the destination that counts, but the journey itself”.
There’s a rich taspestry of Italian DNA roots at play in Etro in this moment, even if the brand is now majority-owned by LVMH-backed L Catterton. So goodbye to the Etro family and hello to Marco de Vincenzo.
