This week, fashion looked toward the longer term. On the style week calendar, Bode announced that it’ll show its FW23 collection in Paris this January, and Marni shared that it’ll take its next collection to Tokyo in February. At LVMH, Antoine Arnault officially became the CEO of Christian Dior SE, the holding company that operates the larger luxury conglomerate. Elsewhere, the industry saw some forceful collaborations — amongst them, Givenchy teamed up with Disney for a A centesimal-anniversary capsule, and Telfar and Eastpak reunited for a slew of bright-blue bag offerings.

Below, Hypebeast has rounded up the highest fashion stories of the week so you’ll be able to not sleep thus far on trends within the industry.

Antoine Arnault Officially Took Over as CEO of LVMH Holding Company

Antoine Arnault, French billionaire Bernard Arnault‘s eldest son, officially became the CEO of Christian Dior SE, the holding company through which the family controls luxury goods conglomerate, LVMH.

Named each CEO and vice-chairman, Antoine replaces the 71-year-old Sidney Toledano, who was the president of LVMH’s Fashion Group and former chief of the Christian Dior Couture brand. Pietro Beccari still holds the title of chairman and CEO of Christian Dior Couture.

Notably, all five of Bernard Arnault’s five children hold senior titles at LVMH. In response to Reuters, Antoine’s appointment follows a shift within the legal structure of the family’s investments.

Bode Will Return to Paris Men’s Fashion Week This January

Emily Bode is taking her namesake label back to Paris for a runway show during Men’s Fashion Week in January, in response to WWD.

Bode, who will reach seven years on the helm of her antique-laden imprint in 2023, first traveled overseas to Paris in 2019 for her Spring/Summer 2020 runway show and later returned for her Fall 2020 runway. Once the pandemic hit, the designer shifted her focus to growing her business domestically, with the opening of a flagship store in Los Angeles.

Bode’s largest direct-to-consumer market is in North America, but on the wholesale side, the brand performs best in Europe and the U.K. “Everyone frequents Paris for the shows,” she added. “And while we’ve had great success with virtual appointments, we felt it was necessary to indicate again.”

Bode confirmed that she might put forth a retail activation in Recent York during February’s fashion week, though she doesn’t plan to copy the Paris show elsewhere.

Jacquemus Debuted “LE RAPHIA” SS23 Collection

A purveyor of natural beauty, Simon Porte Jacquemus presented Jacquemus’ “LE RAPHIA” Spring/Summer 2023 show.

Staged outside of Paris within the Le Bourget commune, the label’s runway spoke to the brand’s strengths. Take care of look, Jacquemus’ penchants for natural-colored pieces, tailoring-centric silhouettes and architectural design codes became clear. This season, the designer looked to Raffia palm, a native fiber to tropical African regions, to craft its earthy iterations. The dried wheat and sand-colored palm weaved itself into fluid tops, suiting and skirts, in addition to statement bags and oversized hats.

Raf Simons Bid Farewell With Recent SS23 Campaign

After announcing the closure of his namesake label, Raf Simons dropped off his official Spring/Summer 2023 campaign.

Shot by Willy Vanderperre and styled by Olivier Rizzo (who’s known for collaborating with Miu Miu, Christian Dior, Coach, Raf Simons and Jil Sander), the campaign spotlights the SS23 collection with a fully-rounded vision. Where Simons’ rave runway at London’s Printworks received mixed reviews from the glitterati, the campaign provides a transparent image of what’s to come back from the designer’s final collection under his eponymous label.

⁠Raf-isms are on full display, with frayed details, distressing and punkish undertones, together with references to kink and workwear. House signatures, including the RS denim, now appear in baby blue, and a black denim shirt tucked into washed-out jeans and paired with a deep brown knit is true Raf.⁠

Marni Will Stage Its FW23 Show in Tokyo This February

Marni will stage its Fall 2023 runway show in Tokyo this February, in response to creative director Francesco Risso via WWD. The show, which is predicted to host roughly 2,500 guests, will happen on February 1 at 8 p.m. local time.

Japan is one among Marni’s largest markets. The brand’s chief executive officer, Barbara Calò, previously stated that the country accounts for 23% of Marni’s total sales. In 2022, Marni was expected to see a 30% increase in sales from Japan in comparison to 2021, and in response to recent data, the label has surpassed that figure, with a 31% increase.

The Japan show will mark the second leg of Marni’s traveling shows, following the brand’s runway in Recent York City in September, which was held under the Joralemon Tunnel in Brooklyn. Risso told WWD that he has 4 traveling shows planned, though he doesn’t know the remaining two locations presently.

Gucci Unwrapped Its Après-Ski Collection

Enter Gucci Après-Ski, the Italian House’s official offering of bundled-up garments and accessories ideal for a gnar-shedding (or relaxing) wintertime getaway.

The gathering takes inspiration from skiwear, with coordinated sets ideal for the snow, logo-covered knitwear and glossy puffer jackets. The lineup also hosts a preview of ready-to-wear and accessories from a forthcoming installment of adidas x Gucci, with co-branded emblems decorating staple silhouettes and heritage bags.

In footwear, Gucci drops off an assortment of silhouettes ranging across archetypal mountaineering and snow boots. Amongst them, the brand introduces 4 pairs of latest Gucci x adidas lace-up boots, which appear in statement-making colorways with technical canvas, metal eyelets and twine laces.

Gucci Après-Ski will probably be available in Gucci boutiques, in addition to on Gucci’s website, with special pop-ups in Courmayeur, Cortina, Courchevel, Verbier and Kitzbühel.

Givenchy Celebrated 100 Years of Disney With a Recent Capsule Collaboration

Following their inaugural collaboration in May, Givenchy and Disney reunited to craft an all-new capsule collection starring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, in honor of Lunar Recent Yr and The Walt Disney Company’s A centesimal anniversary.

For the collaboration, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a primary within the history of character animation, makes a modern exit from the Disney vault, ahead of the Yr of the Rabbit. Fusing the fun-loving character’s mischievious spirit into the range, Givenchy creative director Matthew M. Williams curated a “one-of-a-kind world tour” collection for the age-old character, sourcing inspiration from Recent York, Paris, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Tokyo and beyond.

The Disney x Givenchy capsule collection will probably be available starting December 16 in China, Singapore and on the Tokyo Ikebukuro pop-up. The gathering will launch on the Miami Aventura pop-up on December 19, and it’ll be available globally starting December 30 on Givenchy’s website. Prices range from €220 EUR to €3,790 EUR.

Telfar and Eastpak Continued Their Bag Magic With a Recent Collaboration

After joining forces in April, Telfar and Eastpak reconnected for an all-new bag offering that blends the previous label’s popular Shopping Bag designs with the latter Boston-founded brand’s signature tech fabrications.

In the brand new collaboration, the duo offers a slew of signature Telfar silhouettes, including the Telfar Shopper medium/large, Telfar Shopper small and the Telfar Circle. Finished in daring “Painter’s Tape,” the accessory dons black handles and straps, in addition to a co-branded logo.
