Back to what the editorial team absolutely wants to share this week.
Under the light
Matthieu Blazy has found the right shoe for him: Pillow Shoes. Italian brand Bottega Veneta has just unveiled the latest sneakers designed by its artistic director. A couple steeped in culture skateboarding From the 1990s, dressed in leather and full volume, with a thick sole and padding. A look made of roundness, which he baptized Pillow (Pillow). The monochromatic pair comes in black or white, not forgetting Bottega Veneta’s signature green. Appearing on the catwalk of the spring-summer 2023 fashion show, sneakers with velvet steps take a place among the brand’s must-have accessories this season.
Basketball is available BottegaVeneta.comat the price of 920 euros.
Sunglasses under a magnifying glass.
One sings and the other… creates mountains. French glasses designer Emmanuel Khan and singer Juliet Armani imagine glasses in unison. Starting with the brand’s iconic model, the frame with zigzag sleeves, the duo created a new pair that invokes Polnareff as in the Disco years. XXL frame, ivory color, smoked blue lenses, comes with a gold chain as a bonus. A very limited pair made in France in the sun as on stage.
To be found in the selection of optics and more EmmanuelleKhanh.comat the price of €380.
A new beginning
A studious studio. For the new edition of the collection from the Stockholm design studios, H&M bets on boldness. Futuristic and explosive, H&M Studio’s latest collection includes a number of strong pieces such as shiny thigh-high boots, a fuchsia anorak or a sequin-embroidered blazer. A premium capsule that used to parade catwalks is transforming to appeal to a younger audience in search of confidence. This transformation is part of an update of the Swedish brand’s various collections available: the younger Studio and the Conscious line, which has been renamed Innovation Stories. The abandonment of the so-called “Conscious” internal label goes hand in hand with the ecological progress that the company welcomes. As a reminder, H&M has set a goal of 100% “more sustainable” materials by 2030. To date, it estimates it has reached 80%.
The collection is available in a number of stores and more H&M.com.
At the deep end of pure beauty

Two colorful floors will allow visitors to learn how to create skincare smoothies and experiment with biocompatible formulas for skin, hair and body. A small bonus, every day the first 30 visitors will receive an exclusive gift. “I am delighted to introduce the world of Drunk Elephant to the consumers of Paris. “Visitors to House of Drunk will be able to discover our unique philosophy and experience the fun moments of drunken elephants,” says founder Tiffany Masterson. The appointment is being made.

Above Chanel
Coco Snow Avalanche. As every year, when the first snowflakes approach, Chanel offers a wardrobe dedicated to winter sports. For the Fall-Winter 2022-2023 collection, the double-C label blends couture spirit with pop culture. To stay chic and warm, the brand’s artistic director Virginie Viard worked on pieces with feminine cuts that do not neglect technicality. Fitted jackets, down jackets, sweaters covered in mountain-code placket, ski-inspired camellia-printed tops… The collection is made for the slopes and more. With pops of color and elegant design, the remains in the mountains declare their style at the height.
Available from October 18 in selected Chanel boutiques.
Pause
Family photo. On the occasion of its 70th anniversary, the Moncler brand joins forces with photographer Platon for a traveling exhibition. The 54-year-old Briton, best known for his portrait of Vladimir Putin on the cover of The New York Times in 2007, has brought his portrait talents to bear on the Transalpine brand. The result is the series Teaemergency expedition, which attracts seven designers (Tom Brown, Hiroshi Fujiwara, Rick Owens, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Francesco Ragazzi, Giambattista Valli and Pharrell Williams) invited by Moncler to review the Maya jacket. Portraits mixed with anniversary campaign footage chronicle the Moncler identity from 1952 to the present.
The exhibition will be held in London until October 16, before flying to Tokyo from November 1.
Night club
It wasn’t an overnight performance. From October 1 to 2, jeweler Tiffany & Co stayed up all night in the heart of Paris for Nuit Blanche. For the annual event, which puts culture in the spotlight for one night, the jeweler himself offered an installation in front of the Center Pompidou, which is now playing overtime. A digital cube placed in the lobby invites passers-by to discover the latest campaign Lose yourself in love played by Beyoncé, who brings the theme of love into focus. A chance to discover the iconic pieces worn by the star from the American jeweler, in a series of photos and videos. The blue box reveals its secrets in District 4 until October 20.
The installation is visible 7 days a week.
Circular Cashmere Notch
Kashmiris believe in reincarnation. The Notshy brand, which specializes in this exceptional fiber, works together with the Italian association Progretto Lana, which works for the circular use of wool items. The French label is launching a cashmere recovery operation in all its outlets with one very specific goal: to recycle it. To do this, collection terminals are available at the entrance of the stores to drop off your clothes. A gesture rewarded with a €50 voucher to be used in the brand’s boutiques on all pieces from the current season. The collected material is disassembled, and then entrusted to the association that takes care of knitting sweaters or pants. The circle is complete.
The promotion runs until December in all stores in France and Switzerland.
