A Day at Sephora – WWD

A Day at Sephora – WWD
The primary customer inside Sephora’s Century City location in Los Angeles, on the open-air Westfield mall, is Joe. The center-aged man walks in only as doors open, 10 a.m. on the dot. “I’m on the lookout for Blu Atlas,” he says. Sephora doesn’t carry the brand, he’s told by Alex, a beauty adviser who leads him to Sulwhasoo after asking about his concerns and learning Joe is on the lookout for an anti-aging moisturizer. “It’ll really help with lines,” Alex tells him, pointing to the Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream. “It is available in two sizes.” It’s $260 for a 2.02 fl. oz. jar and $52 for the mini 0.33 fl. oz. “I’m doing work round the corner,” Joe says. “What time are you guys open...

Del Core ventures through wilderness for SS23, starring Alex
Following on from its otherworldly AW22 collection, which explored themes of fantasy through a celestial mini-film, Italian label Del Core’s SS23 collection takes its cues from the basic force of water. Called Fathom, the brand’s SS23 offering is an exploration of “water and its depths: how color, shapes, perception change as one dives deeper”, and incorporates a dreamy choice of garments that juxtapose sharp tailoring with flowing silhouettes. There’s collarless jackets and flared pants and vests with neckerchief hems that give the rippling illusion of water, knitted bodysuits that include ribbons and slashes, and sculpted dresses that mould across the body with liquid precision. “Liquidity is life and water is essentially the most energetic element, continually changing state, taking whatever possible...

Meet Darkpark, a Luxe Tackle Workwear

Meet Darkpark, a Luxe Tackle Workwear
MILAN — With all of the “quiet luxury” talk and latest tackle tailoring seen on the catwalks in Milan and Paris this month, these are surely difficult times for streetwear and hype beasts.  Yet encouraging news come from Maurizio Purificato, cofounder of luxury Milan-based multibrand store Antonia, who after establishing high-end puffer maker Khrisjoy, has backed emerging label Darkpark. “It’s not like streetwear is over, it just moved from logos to speaking through volumes,” he noted. Good thing the ladies’s and men’s brand he cofounded with Inna Gerchikov in 2021 was already geared for this transition.  In truth, Darkpark began with a focused offering centered on oversized denim and cargo pants, which immediately garnered the eye of premium department shops and multibrand stores with their roomy silhouettes...
