Break.fast: The human-first showroom rewriting fashion rules
Paris men's fashion week in late June was packed with showrooms, but one space drew particular attention. At 14 Avenue Parmentier, inside the airy Consulat Voltaire, introduced a curated vision where fashion, futurism, and human values converge. Founder Alina Zaporozcenko welcomed between back-to-back appointments, surrounded by travel cases and creative momentum. A Polimoda graduate with a background in international business development, she began her career at Burberry and the Tomorrow showroom before joining the team at Vêtements. It was there, in account management, that the concept behind quietly started to form. Reshaping fashion with stability and intention Influenced by the underground attitude of Vêtements and the commercial structure of Tomorrow, launched in 2019 as both a multi-brand showroom and agent. Today, it represents 10 emerging labels personally selected by Zaporozcenko, who is just as deliberate about team culture as she is about her client roster. 'My mission is to create a space where people can thrive—not just designers, but staff too,' she said. 'There's so much competition in this industry. I want to be a stable, rewarding place.' Zaporozcenko is also challenging the industry's outdated rhythms—starting with the seasonal calendar. 'We keep working with this idea of seasons, but the seasons are disappearing,' she said. 'No one wants to churn out constant newness, but they're pressured to. Why not rethink the timing of fashion altogether?' Curated cool: From dystopian aesthetics to wearable art designer roster is as progressive as its approach. The labels it represents—including Carnet-Archive, Mosha Popova, and RUIbuilt—share a focus on identity and individuality rather than trend. 'Uniqueness is a brand's biggest selling point,' said Zaporozcenko. While the European market remains cautious, and many showrooms lean conservative, continues to strike a balance between edge and commercial viability. Zaporozcenko keeps her roster capped at 12 to maintain meaningful partnerships. Three of those brands are on the verge of wider global visibility—including London-based label Liza Keane. Liza Keane: Poetry in grunge 'Liza's label needs real support,' said Zaporozcenko of the designer, who first caught attention with her poetic, moody graduation collection. Keane's dark, sculptural style merges avant-garde concepts with wearable simplicity, resulting in emotionally charged pieces produced in very limited runs. Her latest collection, unveiled during Men's Week, explores themes of life and death. She was recently awarded the British Fashion Council 's NEWGEN support and is stocked by a growing list of international retailers including H. Lorenzo (Los Angeles), SSENSE and L'Oeuvre (Canada), D-mop (Hong Kong), Samplas and Opener (Seoul), and NOLM (Sydney). Labels to watch: Lueder and Srvc Also drawing attention is Lueder, the brand founded in 2019 by Marie Lueder. Her designs fuse medieval references with modern cuts, often featuring ribbed knits and pointed poulaines—elements that have earned support from both the British and German fashion councils. 'She gets a lot done with minimal resources,' said Zaporozcenko. 'That's the real fashion reality.' Lueder is stocked by Machine-A (London), Opener, Boontheshop, Samplas and Galleria (Seoul), Radd Lounge and GR8 (Tokyo), Studio Slow (Kazan), and NOLM (Sydney). Another name generating buzz is Srvc (short for 'Service'), founded by Ricky Wesley Harriott, formerly of Vêtements. Based in London, Srvc offers a daring, inclusive vision of womenswear—futuristic, sultry, and unafraid to challenge norms. Srvc is now carried by key global stockists including Layers, Selfridges, and Machine-A (London); H. Lorenzo (Los Angeles); ansh46 (Rotterdam); FoS (Kuwait); Studio Slow (Russia); and several locations in Seoul and Tokyo.

Best stocks to trade today, 19 May: Recommended by Raja Venkatraman
The challenge continues to persist at higher levels, with markets still struggling to find stable ground. As profit booking remains the dominant theme, investors must tread cautiously. Global cues continue to be a drag, and they are likely to remain a key pressure point in the near term. Here are two stocks to buy or sell as recommended by Raja Venkatraman of NeoTrader for Monday, 19 May. WSTCSTPAPR: Buy CMP and dips to ₹460, stop ₹450 target ₹520- 540 NEWGEN: Buy above ₹1165 and dips to 1140, stop 1130 target ₹1275- 1295 Stock market on 16 May After Thursday's surge, the broader markets saw a lacklustre Friday as benchmarks slipped slightly in the absence of fresh catalysts. The Nifty settled at 25,019.80, down 0.17%, as consolidation in heavyweight stocks across sectors capped gains and led to a lethargic trading session. On the sectoral front, performance was mixed. Realty, energy, and auto stocks posted modest gains, while the IT sector saw profit booking and declined nearly 1%. Interestingly, the broader indices outperformed the benchmarks, supported by continued interest in themes like defence and railways.

Sustained FII inflows and steady global cues are lending support to sentiment. Going ahead, market direction will likely be shaped by corporate earnings and global trends in the absence of any major domestic triggers. Outlook for trading While the markets remain cautious, there's still a clear undertone of optimism—evident in the Nifty's ability to hold above the 25,000 mark. As we head into a new week, supportive global cues are setting the stage for a positive start. A gap-up opening on Monday looks likely, but the real challenge will be sustaining the momentum and building on it. The technical setup offers encouraging signs. Friday's dip towards the 24,500 zone was met with buying support, and the strong close above 25,000—alongside the absence of aggressive selling pressure—suggests that the market may be preparing for an upward move. Intraday charts also reflect strength, bolstered by positive news flow around earnings and geopolitics.

The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) for the Nifty stands at 0.73 and at 0.90 for the Bank Nifty, reflecting a cautious stance in the derivatives segment. While the broader trend continues to lean bullish, a decisive trigger is still awaited for confirmation. Until then, every positive move should be seen as a promising sign—but not yet a full-fledged breakout.
