PROENZA SCHOULER is making some savvy moves to improve its commercial performance, focusing on high-margin handbag sales and debuting a complimentary line of enamel pins. As that FASHIONISTA article points out, it's a strategy similar to ANYA HINDMARCH's leather stickers. I like this trend. It's a way of opening up the brand to a lower price point without resorting to fast fashion collaborations, which tend to lack in both quality and creativity. Rather than offering a diluted version of a popular-but-inaccesible product range, you're offering something distinct and uncompromised. It reminds me a little of KEITH HARING's POP SHOP... Really, really awesome that NIKE has actually produced the self-lacing MAG sneakers from BACK TO THE FUTURE II. Beyond being just plain cool that this shoe now exists, their self-lacing mechanism could presumably be applied to all sorts of different footwear, making life way easier for people living with conditions that make shoe-tying difficult. People like MARTY MCFLY himself, who got to test out the MAGs yesterday. Personally, I'd love situationally-aware sneakers that tighten and loosen themselves depending on what I'm doing. Sit down in the movie theatre? They loosen up. Break into a run? They tighten. Forecast calling for rain? They refuse to be worn and give me a mild electric shock, reminding me how much I paid for them... For companies of a certain size, having a Chief People Officer seems like a no-brainer. A company can have all the talent in the world, but none of it matters if it can't get everyone moving enthusiastically in the same direction, which, as far as I can tell, is the central remit of the CPO... ALEXANDER FURY did some research on what may be the most overused adjective in fashion... DRAKE wears MONCLER jacket in video, MONCLER sells said jacket like hot cakes. DRAKE is basically a royal baby. Personally, I'm opting for the chunky grey turtleneck and wheat TIMBS. See you on HALLOWE'EN...
