Right in the middle of the week, we assemble and (of course) share several news that are on our minds and keep us on our toes.
ON FRÄULEIN`S MIND
NOW VIA BROWNSFASHION: JEAN PAUL GAULTIER X LOTTA VOLKOVA
Irresistible, pure sex appeal – is the collaboration between Jean Paul Gaultier and the stylist Lotta Volkova, now available at brownsfashion.com.
The collection includes a selection of dresses, bodies, and two pieces boldly showing off the female silhouette printed onto the garments and accentuated through revealing cut-outs. The nude optical illusions excite with their shocking and confident approach, in the best traditions of Jean Paul Gaultier, known to celebrate female assets since 1976. Lotta Volkova´s modern perspective lends the collection striking timelessness, speaking to the new generation of femmes fatales.

MARCO DE VINCENZO IS ETRO´S NEW CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Etro – the Italian luxury fashion house founded by Gerolamo Etro in 1968 is pleased to announce Marco De Vincenzo as new Creative Director for the women’s, men’s, and home collections, effective June 1st, 2022.

DR. MARTENS AND PLEASURES COME TOGETHER FOR A DIY-INSPIRED COLLABORATION
Two brands synonymous with subcultural identities collaborate again celebrating the 90s grunge slacker attitude and the DIY approach. Founded in LA in 2015, PLEASURES is a brand steeped in grunge, metal, and punk, places where Dr. Marten’s wearers often find themselves too. Progressive, and not afraid to push for controversy, the brands celebrate the 70s Punk and 90s Riot Grrrl in their collaborative design.
The PLEASURES Jorge imagines the classic mule resulting from a cut-up shoe, providing comfort in soft black Nappa leather and chilled out Vibe sole. Completed with embroidered PLEASURES script as if signed by Alex, one of the founders of PLEASURES.
