At Lollapalooza Paris, 'rather high social status' festivalgoers seek to let loose
Everyone had their own travel strategy: The most determined cracked open their first can of beer, while others opted for coffee, all while stifling a few yawns. As the festival site came into view, unusual types of headgear began to crop up, ranging from rainbow propeller caps to cowboy hats.
Once on-site, partygoers wandered between the festival's five stages and enjoyed the first concerts – French rapper Franglish, Canadian rock band Mother Mother and Cape Verdean R&B singer Ronisia – before the evening's two headliners arrived. Dozens of Colombian jerseys added color to the crowd, worn by fans of rising reggaeton star Feid, who hails from Medellin. Diego, draped in Colombia's yellow, blue, and red flag, waited eagerly for the South American star. The 30-something had come with his group of friends, all Colombian. They work in Paris, in managerial positions. "We're here for all three days and, so far, it's really well organized, the concerts are worth it," said Diego, delighted.

Phoebe Philo unveils 'D' collection, explores expanding offline distribution
Less than two years after launching her eponymous label, Phoebe Philo is forging ahead. The British designer has just unveiled her D collection, the fourth since her debut in October 2023. Still sold mainly through its e-commerce store, the brand began poking its nose into the wholesale market last year through a handful of select multi-brand boutiques. Now, the label seems ready to take the plunge with the opening of its first store. This new collection follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, focusing on around twenty looks as the business advocates for limited production. Once again, the starting point is wardrobe classics, with quality pieces made in beautiful materials- comfortable yet cool in a way that makes you want to wear them. These designs include trench coats, slim-fitting jackets, sculptural tops, and voluminous coats such as a black leather model. Jackets are rounded in shape and range from leather designs with wide collars to more spherical pieces. Fur continues to make an appearance, with items including coats, muffs, puffy sheepskin breeches, playful, cosy catsuits, and statement furry trousers. Most of the looks are monochromatic in neutral tones of white, black, and brown and follow a pure, minimalist style, with the exception of a black and grey plaid shirt and pants and a few flashes of yellow fur. Phoebe Philo's womenswear favours loose, well-cut men's suits in mottled fabrics and flowing trousers, sometimes decorated with fringe or in a cargo style, designed to be worn with a simple tank top, t-shirt, or black shirt. In addition to ready-to-wear, Phoebe Philo also offers bags, jewellery, and shoes, such as its new multi-strap flat sandals. The brand, which has adopted a very minimalist marketing style from the outset, has given no further information on materials used or product prices. It merely communicated that it presented its designs as a series of editions which were made available to purchase in stages and came together to form its first collection. Since October 2024, the brand's collections have been presented in their entirety several months before going on sale, returning to a more traditional approach. Presented as a preview on the website, the D collection will be available from the beginning of 2026 and will continue to be sold until May. It will be distributed on the brand's e-commerce store, and offline via shop-in-shops dedicated to Phoebe Philo at London's Dover Street Market and Galeries Lafayette Haussmann in Paris, as well as in select multi-brand boutiques worldwide. This model could soon evolve with the opening of a physical boutique in London. According to the American newspaper WWD, this will take place at Carlos Place in the British capital's prestigious Mayfair neighbourhood. The location is not far from The Row 's boutique and the historic Connaught Hotel, situated at the entrance to Mount Street, a more quiet and discreet thoroughfare than its neighbouring New Bond Street. Phoebe Philo declined to comment when contacted by The English designer created her Phoebe Philo brand in London in September 2020 with her husband, real estate entrepreneur Maximilian Wigram, and welcomed LVMH as a minority shareholder. Earlier this year, Philo added to her team by appointing Bruno Sialelli, former creative director of Lanvin, as design director for her ready-to-wear collection.

Beyoncé wears Portuguese-British brand Marques'Almeida for new 'Cowboy Carter Tour'
Six years on, American singer Beyoncé has once again chosen the Portuguese-British brand Marques'Almeida (M'A), this time to create three exclusive looks for her wardrobe on her current world tour, the "Cowboy Carter Tour", through the U.S, France, and England, which began on April 28 and ends on July 26 in Las Vegas at the Allegiant Stadium. M'A itself confirmed this on its social media channels, posting: "We're proud to see @beyonce wearing a customized Marques'Almeida look for her Cowboy Carter tour," as read on Instagram. "Created in raw denim with frayed edges and deconstructed, handmade details - embodying our true M'A London signature, and meticulously handmade in our Porto atelier. Made with love, strength, and deep gratitude for an artist who continues to inspire." It was Beyoncé's own team that contacted the M'A's Portuguese designer duo, Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida, on the singer's recommendation, to design the costumes for her new "Cowboy Carter Tour", which is attracting crowds and breaking box office records worldwide. The couple's 'official spokesperson' confirmed this According to Marques, the partnership came about through direct contact with the Portuguese duo's label, currently divided between London, Porto, and the north of Portugal: "We were contacted by the singer's styling team who were working with her and the whole team of dancers for this tour," she told The pieces "are completely exclusive," continued the designer, whom recently interviewed in the Douro, on the occasion of the debut of the new Portugal Fashion Experience format. The event celebrated the label's 30th anniversary and marked the return of fashion shows after a break of almost two years. "We developed around three looks, one of which has already been worn and the others may still be worn, all for CCTOUR moments." "It was incredible to be invited! It was a very intense process but a testament to M'A's legacy and relevance. We were sought out for the distinctive work done at M'A and in the denim area," the Portuguese fashion designer confessed, apologizing for the rush that absorbs her days and brightens her nights.
