The end of the world is depicted in Apocalypse Now and End of Days by Rick Owens. Three orbs about two meters across were set on fire, and then slowly raised high above us, then dropped to a sizzling impact in the fountain of the Palais de Tokyo.

The great balls of fire represent suns, arcing across the sky, and crashing to the ground.

Owens had been in Egypt and named the collection Edfu, after the site of the Ptolemaic Temple of Horus. However the only literal souvenirs of that journey on the runway today were the three top-to-toe tulle looks near the end.

Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada were similarly enamored, dedicating much of their spring shows to short leather and denim shorts, with bare legs ending in cowboy boots with pointed toes, souvenir of Raf’s childhood and Macadam Cowboy, maybe

The 90-year-old New York-based beauty company, whose brands include namesake Revlon, Elizabeth Arden and Almay, has been struggling with a hefty pile of debt listed as $3.7 billion that it spent much of 2020 renegotiating, which enabled it to avoid a more formal restructuring process then. But supply chain issues, soaring inflation and increased competition from the likes of The Estée Lauder Cos. and Coty Inc. and a plethora of digital start-ups have only exacerbated the situation, and these factors combined with loans coming up for renewal forced it to once again consider bankruptcy.

Today’s filing will allow Revlon to offer our consumers the iconic products we have delivered for decades, while providing a clearer path for our future growth.

In the filing, Revlon stated that it is receiving a $575 million in debtor-in-possession financing from its existing lender base, which in addition to the existing working capital facility, will provide liquidity to support day-to-day operations.

While visiting Zurich airport to scout locations for a Vetements photo shoot, Guram Gvasalia spotted a building under construction with rows of white, industrial beams slanting over a triangular void.

The label combines elements from the designer’s dual Indian-Nigerian heritage and London roots. It explores the potential of vintage and surplus clothing by giving existing material a new life through various textile and patchwork techniques. This means that many Ahluwalia pieces are one of a kind.

Inspired by art, music and literature, much of the work created by Ahluwalia go beyond her collections and include collaborative campaigns, books and films.

Christie’s is set to auction de Givenchy’s estate in Paris next week, highlighting the eye of the designer and ambassador for French taste as Givenchy celebrates its 70th anniversary.

After Elon Musk, Internet users can now follow the journeys of the personal plane of the prince of luxury. For several days, a website highlights the extremely polluting, and sometimes even useless, travels of the Lord, president of “Mouette and Psy”.

Indeed, the account reveals impressive CO2 emissions. Last month the private jet spent 176 tons of CO2, it means 17 years of consumption for an average French person. The CEO of the group owns a private jet “Bombardier Global Express” at an estimated value of 48M€, without options. Combining performance and comfort, this business jet is considered as one of the most efficient private jets in the world. It has a range of 13,000 km, allowing it to fly internationally to its 54-square kilometer island paradise in Bahamas.

The only hamburger that the lord loves was Karl Lagerfeld. As of the end of the month, Martin Brok, who was appointed CEO and president in September 2020, will depart from the company. LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton’s chairman and CEO, Chris de Lapuente, who also oversees the group’s Perfumes and Cosmetics activities, will serve as president and chief executive officer of Sephora.

I have no comment, but according to an internal release obtained Brok’s departure is “due to a divergence of views.” Would the relationship with the lord be difficult?

Brok prior to that he was at Nike for eight years, where he oversaw the company’s direct to consumer business and was vice president of global product and merchandising operations and analytics.

His departure comes at a critical moment for Sephora, the only prestige beauty retailer with a global presence. Employment, how do you explain the labor shortage that threatens several sectors?

Vuitton announced Tuesday that it would stage a spin-off show in Thailand’s capital on June 1 at 7:30 p.m. local time. It is to be livestreamed on the brand’s website. In the original fall 2022 collection, nine never-before-seen pieces explore three ideas: the coming-of-age theme, the global perspective and the circle of creativity  through circular motifs.

The retailer grew by double digits in the first five months of the year as strong sales in other parts of the world compensated for the closure of stores in Russia and China.

Chanel earns less than 1.5 percent of its revenue from Russia. There are 31 percent Chanel employees still under lockdown in mainland China. Five of its 16 boutiques there have closed, and 35 fragrance and beauty stores, roughly equivalent to a third of its network, have also been shuttered.

We’ve maintained our momentum despite the headwinds and uncertainties we face. Chanel outperformed competitors such as Kering, which reported an organic sales increase of 13 percent compared to 2019. Profitability at Chanel, which is privately owned and run by the Wertheimer family, improved significantly. A margin of 34.9 percent was logged, up from 20.3 percent in 2020.

Chanel announced in March that it was increasing the price of its four core handbag styles and spring rtw collection in multiple regions. Since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, Chanel has raised its prices six times, including an adjustment last November.
