In a global fashion ecosystem that only a few years ago seemed settled, with four established pillars anchoring the calendar, something curious has happened: two fashion weeks, born of radically different contexts, are now moving in opposite directions. One, Copenhagen Fashion Week (CPHFW), was once celebrated as the most thoughtful, ethically driven and boundary-crossing event outside the traditional Big Four. The other, Dubai Fashion Week (DFW), emerged more recently, drawing not only local industry ambition but global strategic investment. What the divergent trajectories of these two shows reveal is not just about where fashion is shownbut about what fashion week means in a shifting global economy.

When news broke that Pieter Mulier would step down as Creative Director of Alaïa after five years at the helm, it landed with the curious weight that only rare fashion transitions carry, not a seismic shock but a moment that seems to crystallize broader anxieties, evolutions and the very nature of creative stewardship in luxury fashion today.

Baume & Mercier Changes Hands: What Richemont’s Exit and Damiani’s Bet Reveal About Luxury’s New Priorities

by Carolina

Home

When Richemont and the Damiani Group announced that Baume & Mercier would move from the Swiss luxury conglomerate to the family-run Italian jeweller, the news arrived in a whispered way. No superlatives. No financial figures. Just a change of ownership that, on closer inspection, says a great deal about where luxury is, and is not, heading. For Richemont, the decision marks another moment of portfolio recalibration. Baume & Mercier, with its nearly 200-year history and accessible positioning in the luxury watch segment, has long occupied an ambiguous space within the group: respected but not strategic; heritage-rich but commercially constrained in a market increasingly dominated by high complications, scarcity and price escalation. In an industry where scale and singularity are both demanded,...

When Couture Becomes Code: Why Alexis Mabille’s AI Experiment Misses the Point of Haute Couture

by Carolina

Home

At Paris Haute Couture Week this year, something unusual happened at the Théâtre du Lido on the Champs‑Élysées, not simply atypical but, to some observers, almost sacrilegious. Alexis Mabille, a seasoned couturier and permanent member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, presented his Spring‑Summer 2026 “haute couture” collection in a fully digital format: no physical clothes, no live ...
