In this week’s edition, your favorite childhood school supplies get a major glow up with one brand's new
makeup line, the difference between fashion founder and designer is called into
question, and Sephora invites shoppers to save the date for a first-of-its-kind
celebration to mark two decades of business. June offers many brands the
opportunity to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride, and the fashion industry mourns the loss
of an much beloved designer.
1 – Brand With Pride
While many brands take the opportunity to celebrate June as LGBTQ+
Pride Month with clever and inclusive campaigns and products, there are those
that take observance a step further, partnering
with charities to support the community.
2 – Every Color In
The Box
ASOS is serving up a colorful does of nostalgia with their
newest beauty line, created in partnership
with Crayola. Meanwhile, Balenciaga's bid for nostalgia-fueled sales seems
less lighthearted and with a heftier price tag.
3 – What's In A Name?
While he may not identify as a designer, founder of Supreme,
James Jebbia, was awarded the Council of Fashion Designers of America's top
prize this past week, begging the
question of what exactly falls under the title of "designer."
4 – House of Beauty
This October, to celebrate their 20th
anniversary, Sephora will take their "beauty playground mentality" to
the next level, with their first convention, Sephoria: House of Beauty, which
is promised to be a highly-immersive experiential two-day affair.
5 – In Remembrance
The fashion world mourns the loss of an icon this week, with
the passing of designer Kate
Spade, whose eponymous label has been a staple of women's fashion since its
launch in 1993.
