So rumour has it Tisci is on his way to Gucci (wtf?) and apparently both, the Balmain guy and the dude who does HBA are in talks to replace him.

And where is Frida going ?

Shayne is a better fit in my book. Much more interesting than Rousteing.

What makes a designer?

[Landadel]

What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski?

The Boris store in NYC is one of the best spaces. In a niche market where stores nearly pride themselves on being uninviting it's refreshing to be offered a beer and thumb through a book while not being badgered by the sales people. A very welcome addition. With the development of soho a block up from rick I with the best for Boris and his team.

Just in terms of retail space, nothing will compare to Ink in Beijing to me. Or even Sanlitun North. Both are incredible. The Ziggy Chen store in Sanlitun is a thing to behold, and IT Market next door is insane as well.

Awesome city, too. A bit monotonous/sterile in terms of architecture and skyline, but one of my favourite spots in Asia.

Faust, this is shameful to watch on many levels. I would say/suggest this issue merits a thread of its own.

The city I live in recently got "blessed" by the opening of a Primark store.
The launch was at 6 in the morning, traffic was even denser than usual with teens carrying bags on the edge of bursting through public transportation at 8:00 in the morning. I have yet to step foot into the mall this gate to hell is located in, but friends of mine reported the smell of chemicals is noticeable when standing in front of the three-story-disaster.

I´ve been wondering how one could reach these lost souls and make them realize just what they´re supporting with the purchase of fast fashion, but it´s hard to do so without looking like a party-pooper in their eyes.
They'd feel bad for a day, but they´d forget everything by the time they go shopping again.

So I´ve decided to just get banned from Primark – any suggestions on what to do?

Make t-shirts that say something like "Guess how many people died for this piece of crap" and try to sneak them onto racks all around the store. Be sure to take photos before they get taken out and send the pictures to your local news paper
