The first ever vegetarian leather adidas Stan Smith sneaker will be available for worldwide pre-order on September 5th and will drop in stores worldwide on September 10th
Following on the existing long-term collaboration with adidas which initially launched in Spring Summer 2005, Stella McCartney puts her twist on adidas’ iconic Stan Smith. Leather-free and suitable for vegetarians without sacrificing on style or straying from the original design Stella #stansmith reflects Stella McCartney’s signature details. Paying homage to Stan Smith, his face remains printed on the tongue of the right shoe while Stella’s portrait and signature adorn the left foot. Stella stars in stripes replace the signature adidas three stripes and are stamped running down the sides. The designer’s logo alongside the recognizable burgundy and blue stripe bands are found at the heel.
As a lifelong vegetarian, Stella McCartney doesn’t use any leather or fur in her designs and has been committed to cruelty fashion. Stella #stansmith is the first ever vegetarian leather Stan Smith sneaker created in collaboration with adidas. Stella #stansmith will be available in stores on September 10th in celebration of Stella’s birthday that week. Sizes will range for both women and men, in Stella McCartney stores, online, and at select retailers worldwide at a retail price of $325/€250. Stella #stansmith will be supported by a social media campaign and in store sneaker week focused concept alongside the Loop Lab. The Loop Lab will be a dedicated display highlighting the designer’s Loop sneaker launching in August.

For 2018 Prada relaunches the classic Prada Linea Rossa as an evolved, reactive technical collection keyed to the ideology of the twenty-first century. In 2018, Prada Linea Rossa underscores its foundations and origins in 1990s sportswear, drawing on the precision of the lines and refinement of aesthetic that defined the look of the era. Today, this ideology still has resonance.
Tied intrinsically to the fundamental identity of Prada, to its elevation of the industrial and functional to form a new breed of modern luxury, Prada Linea Rossa first launched in 1997. Its new incarnation debuted at the men’s and women’s Fall/Winter 2018 shows, entirely integrated into the Prada aesthetic lexicon. A focus on technical detailing and new manufacturing possibilities singles out Prada Linea Rossa as a distinct, defined offering within the Prada mainline. A new facet of the Prada universe.
Prada Linea Rossa fuses high fashion with high performance, design excellence with technical prowess. Each item is hyper-functional, devised with cutting-edge methodology. In this refresh of Prada Linea Rossa, twenty-first century industrial and scientific advances in textiles and manufacture inform design decisions, in a synthesis of form and function. The range offers a complete wardrobe, through outerwear, footwear and specially-conceived pieces geared to the demands of specific activities, including skiing and snowboarding.
For the first collection, the reengineering includes the iconic Prada Linea Rossa emblem - the slender red flash across the neck and chest, a badge of identity connecting everything. In latex, it is applied underneath a cut window in fabric and heat-sealed in a completely new process. This underscores the ethos of the line, drawing on the heritage of Linea Rossa, yet reinvented for now. Minimalism is the key approach: garments are clean, precise, pure and entirely streamlined in form. Technology is unconnected to gender - garments are unisex, and pieces transform on the body of both women and men.
Materials distinguish the range: innovative, forward-thinking, futuristic, they define Linea Rossa.
These include nanotech fabrics with high conductive capacity favouring body temperature regulation; graphene, a substance deriving from graphite; a new generation of padding, composed of graphene and recycled polyester; Goretex Pro water-repellent microfiber; Primaloft padding; and ultra-light Nylon 3L with high abrasion resistance, the thinnest membrane in the world. The classic Prada 'Tela Tecnica' sportswear fabric has been re-addressed, made even more technical with the addition of anti-wind and waterproof elements alongside total breathability, and renamed ‘Tela Tecnica Pro’. Prada’s hallmark nylon is reinterpreted in feather weights.

In support of the Elephant Crisis Fund, Knot On My Planet and LOEWE will launch a limited edition range of Tan Elephant Mini Bags, featuring beadwork by Samburu women from Northern Kenya.
LOEWE travelled to Kenya to work with women from the Samburu Workshop at Ol Malo, in the heart of Samburu, who meticulously handcrafted beadwork for a limited edition collection of LOEWE ́s iconic Elephant Mini Bag in Tan. The collection will launch exclusively on loewe.com only, and in Bergdorf Goodman on July 16, 2018.
The Samburu people in Northern Kenya share a special relationship with elephants and work closely with the Kenya-based elephant research and conservation organisation, Save The Elephants, to protect them. The Elephant Mini Bag is being sold in collaboration with the Knot on My Planet campaign to support the Elephant Crisis Fund, a joint initiative between Save The Elephants and the Wildlife Conservation Network, in partnership with the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. The Elephant Crisis Fund runs a 100% donation model with every dollar raised directly deployed to elephant conservation projects in the most critical hotspots of Africa and Asia.
LOEWE will donate all proceeds of the Elephant Bag sales to the Elephant Crisis Fund, in support of the Knot On My Planet campaign, helping to provide rapid, catalytic support for the most effective projects designed to stop the killing of elephants, thwart traf ckers and end the demand for ivory.
Save The Elephants Founder, Iain Douglas-Hamilton, and Global Ambassador for Knot On My Planet, Doutzen Kroes, speak about the collaboration in an exclusive interview to launch the collection.

The new CHANEL eyewear collection promises a winter touched by brilliance and light. While one line draws inspiration from the perfume bottles of the House, another places the pearl at the heart of a new fantasy.
A wintry fragrance floats over the new eyewear collection. The angles and edges of the frames reinterpret the facets of a CHANEL perfume bottle while the mirrored lenses in gold recall the jus itself. A high square, an XL rectangle and an androgynous pilot, the three sunglasses frames of the season are surprisingly daring with their assured graphic lines, in transparent, pale grey or pink acetate. Contrast is created with the mirrored lenses in 24 carat yellow gold or 18 carat rose gold. The frames open the gaze in a new way as they also become beauty accessories. Three eyeglasses frames – square, butterfly and pilot – accompany and adopt the essence of this story.
An emblematic element at CHANEL, the pearl is back this winter on a pair of stylish eyeglasses. Embedded in a round or rounded square frame in gold, silver or pink-toned metal, some 15 small pearls follow the line of the brows to enhance either transparent lenses or lenses subtly tinted with a light protection.
The CHANEL Winter 2018 eyewear collection will be available in boutiques from September 2018.
