Saint Laurent Stays Home, Tiffany’s Miami Pop-up, Prada on

HOME BASE: Anthony Vaccarello, who has taken men’s collections for Saint Laurent on the road the previous couple of years, will return to Paris for an IRL show during Men’s Fashion Week on Jan. 17, sources told WWD.

The venue and other details couldn’t immediately be learned.

Men’s collections for fall 2023 are to be unveiled within the French capital from menswear from Jan. 17 to Jan. 22.

Last July, Vaccarello mounted a spectacular display within the rolling desert outside of Marrakech, his models rounding a circular pool, out of which emerged an otherworldly ring, like a portal to a different dimension.

He has also staged Saint Laurent men’s shows in Jersey City, Latest Jersey, Venice, Italy, and Malibu, California, lately.

Saint Laurent’s return to the French capital should give extra oomph to the Paris men’s shows, which have been gaining momentum lately.

The schedule has been bulging as a bunch of international designers took advantage of the Paris stage, including Craig Green, Mike Amiri, John Elliott and Bianca Saunders.

As well as, many brands — including Comme des Garçons and Thom Browne — have returned to the Paris schedule because the COVID-19 pandemic eased or as they uncoupled coed shows to place an even bigger highlight on men’s collections, comparable to Givenchy did last June. — MILES SOCHA

Hanging above a number of high jewelry in the shop is a neon-lit quote from Warhol: “Greater than anything people just want stars.”

There was loads of star power in the shop on Thursday. Guests including brand ambassador Hailey Bieber; Pharrell Williams — donning his custom 25-carat diamond Tiffany & Co. sunglasses; J Balvin; Dixie D’Amelio; Lori Harvey; Camila Coelho; Izabel Goulart, and Athena Calderone turned out for a cocktail celebration toasting the boutique’s debut on Friday, and Art Basel.

PRADA ON THE SLOPES: Just in time for the schuss season, AspenX and Prada have teamed up for a capsule collection of outerwear and knits that take its inspiration from the ski trails of Aspen Snowmass.

The seven-piece womenswear and menswear collection include ski jackets, puffer jackets and knitwear with touches of black, silver and striking reds for the winter 2023 season.

That is the third time the 2 entities have joined forces to develop a capsule collection. Last yr, the six-piece collection carried distinctive black-and-white designs.

Like last yr, the gathering was conceptualized by multimedia artist Paula Crown. Each bit in the present collection incorporates Crown’s artistic exploration of Aspen’s topographic terrain from her art series called “Aspen Maps.”

The works take angled overhead perspectives of the ski run trail maps, then have them abstracted, layered and rotated to disclose latest forms and patterns.

“We’re honored to proceed our collaboration with the esteemed house of Prada and to expand the presence of art ‘writ large’ within the natural and built environment,” Crown said.

Each item is manufactured from sustainable textile technologies engineered to support energetic lifestyles. The gathering features optimal insulation and waterproof capabilities through the brand’s hero fabric, Extreme-Tex, a three-layer fabric developed exclusively by Prada, in addition to Graphene padding designed to control body temperature.

The capsule collection is a premium extension of Prada Linea Rossa, marked with its distinctive red stripe logo that first appeared in 1997.

AspenX is a up to date retail and experience brand unveiled last yr by the Aspen Skiing Company, which owns and operates Aspen Snowmass in addition to The Little Nell and Limelight Hotels.

TODD’S NEW COURT: Todd Snyder continues to be the king of the collaboration, and on Thursday, he extends his reach into the basketball arena through a latest partnership with the NBA.

Snyder has worked with the league on a group of fan gear for several of the most-popular teams: the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Lakers, Latest York Knicks and San Francisco Golden State Warriors.

Called the Todd Snyder x NBA Curtsied Collection, the limited-edition offering puts a fresh tackle the teams’ logos on French terry sweatshirts and turtlenecks, cashmere sweaters and leather varsity jackets. 

The road features looks for several teams including the Brooklyn Nets.

“I desired to create some fan gear that was sophisticated — styles that you would wear to the sport and around town,” Snyder said. “The Curtsied Collection is sort of a dream come true because growing up in Iowa, I played basketball day by day. Once I moved to Latest York in the course of the ’80s, I fell in love with the Knicks and eventually had a hometown pro team. One in all my profession highlights was winning a design contest after I worked at The Gap to design the jerseys for the Indiana Pacers. To see them play in something you designed…that was something else.”

Amongst the important thing items are a varsity jacket that Snyder reworked in Melton wool with leather, raglan sleeves, a quilted satin lining and a leather tab on the cuffs. A cashmere cardigan includes horn buttons and bullion logo on the chest with intarsia stripes on the sleeves.

There may be also a sweater in two-tone cashmere with satin lettering on the chest, raglan sleeves and a “Dorito” on the neck, Snyder said, designed to catch sweat and make pullovers easier to tackle and off. A crewneck sweatshirt was created in Canada in fleece with striped ribbed trim on the cuffs and hem; a French terry turtleneck, made in the identical factory in Canada, has a chenille logo patch across the chest; and a French terry hoodie has a kangaroo pocket, ribbed side panels, a double-layered hood and a chenille chest patch.

The gathering will drop on Thursday at 10 a.m. EST on the Todd Snyder retail stores and online. Retail prices include $248 for the hoodie, $258 for the sweatshirt, $268 for the turtleneck, $498 for the sweater, $528 for the cardigan and $1,500 for the varsity jacket. — JEAN E. PALMIERI
