As a longtime follower of the fashion scene, I must say that the collaborations announced recently have truly piqued my interest. The partnership between Supreme and The North Face for their winter-ready capsule, featuring original illustrations by Raymond Pettibon, is a testament to the enduring appeal of both brands. I remember owning a Nuptse Jacket years ago and it was always one of my go-to pieces during the colder months.
This week, the most significant news in fashion centered around eagerly awaited collections and collaborations, groundbreaking fashion achievements, and changes within the market landscape.
Initially, readers were given a peek at high-end projects such as Phoebe Philo‘s Collection B, Prada’s lunar fashion project with Axiom Space, and Stone Island’s exhibit at Holt Renfrew. Meanwhile, further information was disclosed about partnerships backed by cult followings like The North Face x Supreme and Denim Tears x Marc Jacobs. Noteworthy too, Supreme announced its intention to expand e-commerce operations into new Asian markets, while LVMH stocks took a dip following a significant decrease in third-quarter sales in China.
Here’s a way to rephrase it using simple and conversational language: Check out this collection of the hottest fashion news from TopMob! This way, you’ll be in-the-know about the latest style happenings in the world of fashion.
Phoebe Philo Offers First Look at New Collection
In early 2025, Phoebe Philo’s second collection for her own brand, which was highly anticipated, will be available online and at certain retailers. (Collection B following the debut of her label in 2023 with Collection A)
The fresh images reveal Philo’s distinctive style woven through various sophisticated items, characterized by assertive tailoring and lavish textures. These designs convey strong messages while still adhering to Philo’s minimalist philosophy. Notable pieces feature a voluminous coat with cascading feathers and an extended train, plush jackets boasting bold shoulders, intricate sequin tops mimicking the red Phoebe Philo logo, and many more captivating items.
Prada-Designed Spacesuit Unveiled for the Next NASA Moon Landing
Prada collaborated with aerospace technology company Axiom Space to create a spacesuit for NASA’s Artemis III mission. This suit will allow astronauts to walk on the moon’s surface for the first time since the Apollo 18 mission, and it was revealed at the International Astronautical Congress in Milan, Italy on Wednesday.
Since 2022, the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit has been under development. It leverages Prada’s knowledge in textile and clothing design, combined with Axiom Space’s space technology capabilities. In a collaborative effort, engineers from both teams have been working together to create custom protective materials and innovative technologies suitable for intense lunar environments.
Stone Island Exhibit Celebrates Four Decades of Innovation
As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that I recently got wind of Stone Island’s exciting exhibit at Holt Renfrew, taking place from October 17th to 27th! This special occasion marks 40 years of groundbreaking material innovation by the brand. The showcase promises to present a stunning collection of 24 pieces, spanning all the way back to 1984, with Fall 2024 pieces included to underscore their rich heritage and references.
As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that the brand has created a temporary Cafe Pop-Up experience for us! Here, you can immerse yourself in an exclusive collection of records handpicked by La Rama Records while savoring custom-made coffee blends. The event will feature DJ sets from local artists on the evenings of October 18, 19, 25, and 26, transforming the atmosphere into a lively music hub. Can’t wait to be there!
The North Face x Supreme’s Art Focused FW24 Capsule
once again, The North Face and Supreme have unveiled a winter collection, showcasing unique artwork by Raymond Pettibon. Notable items include the breathable, water-resistant Nuptse Jacket made of nylon, as well as the fully waterproof Mountain Jacket crafted from Dryvent nylon. These jackets boast collaborative details on the sleeves and monochrome artworks by Pettibon on their backs.
The Fall 2024 collaboration between Supreme and The North Face can now be purchased online within the U.S., while its release in Asia is scheduled for October 19th.
Denim Tears and Marc Jacobs Unite for Special Edition of “The Tote Bag”
As a gaming enthusiast, I can tell you that for Marc Jacobs’ 40th anniversary, they’ve joined forces with an eclectic group of artists, from Cactus Plant Flea Market, NIGO, and Anna Sui. The latest team-up sees Tremaine Emory of Denim Tears breathing new life into the iconic Tote Bag design, adorning it with his unique cotton wreath pattern.
As a gamer, I’d put it like this: “Marc Jacobs recently posted about his new design – a cotton wreath print that he says holds significance for Black people as a protective charm and a reminder of our roots that helped shape America. The usual ‘Tote Bag’ label has been swapped out with ‘The Tears Bag,’ with ‘Marc Jacobs’ underneath.
The Tears Bag is available at Marc Jacobs’ official web store now.
Supreme To Expand Online Shop to New Asian Countries
At 10 a.m. on October 26 (local time), the Supreme website is set to welcome visitors from several regions in Asia, such as Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, Taiwan Region, and Singapore.
The announcement was made several months following EssilorLuxottica’s purchase of the label from VF Corporation in July. Although Supreme currently runs 17 physical stores in various countries such as the U.S., Asia, and Europe, its online store had not been accessible in these regions until recently.
Users can get access to Supreme’s shop at the brand’s website and on the Supreme mobile app.
LVMH Shares Dive After Poor Third-Quarter Performance
On Wednesday, shares of LVMH experienced a dip following their report of a 5% decrease in third-quarter sales, as reported by BoF. The value of LVMH shares plummeted by a significant 7% on the day the news was announced. The concern within the industry about a potential slowdown in luxury sales appears to be validated, as spending in the Asia-Pacific region, which had previously driven the market, is now decreasing.
2021 has seen a noticeable drop in Chinese consumer spending, with figures dipping back to pandemic lows despite efforts to mitigate the crisis through stimulus plans. On the other hand, sales in the US and Europe have shown more resilience, though LVMH reported a 16% decrease in sales across Asian countries (excluding Japan) during the third quarter.
