Jacquemus opens Los Angeles boutique
Located at 8800 Melrose Avenue, a few steps from the cult Maxfield, Simon Porte-Jacquemus' new address set up a temporary market for the occasion, with multiple stalls of bananas, daisies and roses, all yellow. On the sidewalk, the banana-shaped Jacquemus mobile took guests in turn for a quick tour of West Hollywood.
After cutting the inauguration ribbon in front of a hundred people armed with their iPhones, the VIP cocktail party finally opened at 5 p.m. In attendance were a host of influencers, models, TV and reality TV stars, including Lori Harvey, Kristin Cavallari, Benito Skinner, Cole Sprouse, Noah Beck, Vinnie Hacker and Nicholas Chavez. Also present, Anwar Hadid -Bella and Gigi's little brother - designer Eli Russell Linnetz, director Luke Gilford and "White Lotus" actor Jon Gries.
Long time occupied by the John Varvatos brand, and taken over a year ago by the Louis Vuitton pop-up, which created a flamboyant set-up around the famous Pont Neuf bridge, the store occupies a surface area of 2,700 square feet.
Inside, terracotta brick floors complement limestone clay stucco walls. At the center of the boutique were two 10-meter-long sunshine-yellow sofas with striped cushions. Antique Egyptian vases, chairs by Jean Royère, mid-century chandeliers, ceramics by French artist Mathilde Martin and a table lamp by Frank Lloyd Wright displayed the designer's personal tastes. A 1999 photograph by David Hockney and a small bronze bather by Pierre-Auguste Renoir completed the decor.
Presented in preview was "La Galerie", a range of vintage items, each piece selected by the designer. This collection will begin with around 20 pieces of jewelry – earrings, brooches, necklaces, bracelets – that have a sculptural focus in addition to decorative objects such as boxes, small trays and keepsake dishes. Curated from vintage markets and galleries across Europe, the items primarily date between the 1920's and 1960's and showcase handcraft across various materials and techniques.
In a nod to Los Angeles and the Californian lifestyle, a selection of chrome objects was also on display, including dumbbells, yoga mats, skipping ropes and water bottles.
The Jacquemus boutique in Los Angeles is the fifth worldwide, after Paris, New York, London and Dubai.

French streamer dies live on air after months of humiliation and abuse
The story is reminiscent of some of the most chilling episodes from the British dystopian tech series Black Mirror. A 46-year-old French influencer, Raphaël Graven, known as Jean Pormanove in his livestreams, died Monday, August 18, in southeast France during a livestream on the Kick platform that had been running for more than 298 hours. According to footage shared on social media, the other participants in the livestream noticed Graven had died while they were lying down and cut the broadcast at that moment. The Nice prosecutor's office opened an investigation into the cause of death, handled by the local judicial police. An autopsy was ordered. At this stage, the exact cause of death is unknown. On the Kick channel named after his streamer pseudonym, which had half a million subscribers, Graven most often appeared with three other influencers: Owen Cenazandotti, known as Naruto, Safine Hamadi, known as Safine, and a man identified as "Coudoux."

Louis Vuitton unveils luxe make-up line in link with Pat McGrath
has announced the arrival of La Beauté, an 'elevated make-up line', as colour cosmetics continue to be seen as key growth avenues for ultra-luxury labels. And it comes as the company announces the official arrival of Dame Pat McGrath as creative director, Cosmetics, for La Beauté (although she's clearly been working on this project for some time). LVMH 's star brand said the launch expands the House's vision that's 'rooted in travel, creativity, and savoir-faire,' and introduces a 'highly curated offering of the finest quality make-up, housed in objets d'art designed to be kept forever'. It added that it's 'redefining beauty as a lifestyle, as an experience and as a dedicated art form,' and is setting 'a new standard in luxury beauty'. What this means in practice is 55 lipsticks (after all, LV is 55 in Roman numerals), 10 balms and eight eye palettes with 20 August set for the Chinese launch, then 25 August as a wider digital pre-launch date and a global debut later next week. The company said those lipsticks, balms, and eyeshadows (priced from $160 to $250) are 'objects of desire that echo the trunk-making, artistry, and cultural vision at the heart of Louis Vuitton, each with a McGrath twist. As with the Maison's most iconic pieces across fashion, accessories and fragrance, every detail has been considered, refined, and perfected'. And the packaging really underlines the luxury edge. Gilded packs by Konstantin Grcic are linked closely to the established codes of Louis Vuitton and in particular give a starring role to the LV flower. With the ongoing luxury fashion slowdown and the global luxury beauty market expected to continue a strong growth trajectory, it's an increasingly important category for even the most successful fashion labels. And the more luxurious the better as the pricing proves. But while the prices are high, the launch is likely to appeal to aspirational luxury shoppers who may not buy the clothes but may well have a Louis Vuitton bag and will be keen to have a lipstick to go in it.
