✨ Archiving Creativity: The Key to Timeless Innovation in Design In an era where nostalgia is the new luxury, a brand’s historical assets are not just references, but they are the treasure troves of future innovations. Enter the world of Kim Kardashian and Dolce & Gabbana. 🌟 Several years back, Kardashian, in her typical visionary style, curated an impressive collection of D&G’s archival designs. Fast forward to Kourtney’s wedding in Portofino, and one of these pieces becomes the talk of the town. This wasn’t just a ‘moment’ but the genesis of the “Kim x Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2023” collection. Spanning two decades (1987 to 2007), this collaboration brought back the iconic aesthetics of the past with a contemporary twist. But how does this story connect to the world of Creative Directors and professionals? 🔸 Preservation: Creative ideas are ephemeral. Today’s brilliant design can be tomorrow’s revered classic. Having a digital space like a DAM (Digital Asset Management) ensures they’re safely stored, easily retrievable, and ready to inspire again. 🔸 Innovation: Drawing inspiration from your archives can spark new ideas. The symbiotic relationship between Kardashian and D&G showcases the power of merging past designs with modern sensibilities. 🔸 Nostalgia: In today’s fast-paced world, there’s a growing appetite for nostalgia. A glance through a brand’s archives can bring back designs that resonate deeply with audiences, both old and new. To all the creative minds out there – your designs, campaigns, and creative assets are not just for the present moment. They are a legacy. And having them digitally archived ensures that you, or someone else in the future, can rekindle their magic. Invest in your brand’s history. Embrace the future by honoring the past. 📌 #DigitalAssetManagement #CreativeArchiving #FashionForward https://lnkd.in/es_AMTZM

🖌 Redesign of an old character. This June's Character Design Challenge theme gave me the idea to rethink one of my old works that I wasn't quite happy with. The theme was "Harajuku Fashionista", which gave the participants a wide range of fashion styles to choose from. My choice fell on Gothic Punk. 🥈 Many thanks to the admins and jury that honoured my work with special mention 💗 Link in the comments ⬇ ________ #characterdesign #2Dart #characterconcept #characterfashion #costumedesign

I help LUXURY Brands Launch 🚀 & Scale. Contact me if you are ambitious and run a Beauty, Fashion, Jewelry, or Tech startup. Serious enquiries only.
Jean Paul Gaultier is already an icon; you know, the guy who made it cool to put Madonna in a cone bra. Then you got Simone Rocha, a rising star whose vibe is like the fresh air we’ve been waiting for in the industry. Put ‘em together, and you’ve got something that’s gonna be bigger than the sum of its parts, like Shaq and Kobe in their prime. JPG passing the torch to new talents since his retirement is a genius strategy. It’s like an OG rapper featuring a new artist on a track; it keeps the legacy alive while pushing the boundaries. In fashion, that’s revolutionary, man. Simone Rocha brings that feminine touch, but don’t get it twisted, she’s as punk rock as it gets. When these two aesthetics collide, expect fireworks, expect transformation. The fashion world is waiting like it’s the season finale of a blockbuster series, and I ain’t mad at it. This type of collab gives the next gen of creators a shot while keeping the classics in the limelight. Trust me, everyone’s gonna wanna be in Paris come January 2024; it’s gonna be the place to see and be seen. This could redefine how we look at collabs in fashion, elevating them from just limited drops to artistic fusions that could birth whole new styles and trends. https://lnkd.in/gzXBFWPb

"The resistance is back, in a somewhat unexpected context: #TheNewLook, a sweeping biopic of couture designers Christian Dior and Coco Chanel in the 1940s. For most American viewers, likely most contemporary French viewers as well, #Dior and #Chanel are famous logos, famous silhouettes, famous scents. Their existence as public figures, the faces of their #brands, is largely over. It may then come as some small surprise that their histories are inextricably tangled up with #Nazism. The show, created by TV veteran Todd Kessler, is a star-studded, visually sumptuous, morally pretzeled epic about the rise and fall of these great #fashionhouses during and after the war. In ways both ingenious and stilted, the show attempts to intertwine this political drama with the high-fashion revolution. What sacrifices does freedom require? Which compromises are too dear to protect family? What’s the cost of Nazi collaboration? The New Look doesn’t so much answer these questions as let us feel their weight for 10 episodes." Thoughtful review of really interesting TV show. The reviewer says "it would be easy to play Chanel as either a monster or a victim of circumstance. But Juliette Binoche is cagey and versatile enough to let her almost always be both." Perhaps. But I am yet to meet a French person over 30 who doesn't get really upset when they are confronted with the fact that one of the biggest icons of 20th century French civilisation was a Nazi collaborator. #controversy #highfashion #luxury #myth #France #history #politics

DYSTOPIAN OPULENCE OR A LITERAL GARDEN: MET GALA 2024 PREDICTIONS FashionUnited: ‘The Garden of Time’ is this year’s Met Gala dress code, a reference to a short story of the same name, in which author J. G. Ballard explores the endless cycle of destruction and creation made by humanity. The novel follows the life of Count Axel and his wife who reside in a decadent villa surrounded by a blossoming garden. Once cut, each flower in the garden pushes back time and with it the imminent threat of darkness that spreads beyond the confines of Axel’s home. However, with new flowers no longer blooming, Axel is eventually forced to snip the final one, and as a result he and his wife prepare to be consumed by the approaching menacing “rabble” ahead. While the story itself seems intangibly linked to the world of consumption and conflict seen around us, it also intertwines with the Costume Institute's corresponding exhibition ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’. Here, 250 historically significant pieces deemed too fragile to be worn again are to be put on display in what the Met says will be an exploration into the notions of rebirth and renewal in fashion, with a further emphasis on nature’s role in such a process. As such, there is a wide breadth of interpretation for Met Gala’s attendees, with historical references and a reliance on nature being among just two of the avenues to be explored. FashionUnited takes a deep dive into what we could expect from those preparing to take to the Met’s steps on that infamous first Monday in May. explore more: https://lnkd.in/gZ88h6MM #fashion #business #ai #web3 #metaverse #investment #vc
