What happens when fashion meets rebellion? The Egonlab runway show at Paris Men's Fall 2025 was a perfect example of this fusion, showcasing a collection that embodied youthful energy and bold style. With a mix of edgy, avant-garde pieces and more wearable, commercial items, the brand pushed the boundaries of fashion and challenged the status quo. The designs were a feast for the eyes, featuring bright colors, eclectic patterns, and experimental silhouettes that dared to be different. The show's eclectic soundtrack and energetic atmosphere added to the overall sense of rebellion and nonconformity, making it a truly unforgettable experience. As a brand that values making a positive impact on the world through fashion, we at Lovethyne appreciate Egonlab's commitment to creativity and self-expression. We believe that fashion should be a powerful tool for change, and it's exciting to see brands like Egonlab using their platforms to challenge the norm and inspire others. What do you think is the role of fashion in shaping our culture and society? Should brands prioritize creativity and self-expression, or focus on more commercial and wearable designs? Let's start a conversation! #fashionforchange #sustainablefashion #fashionrebels

Post 1: Blurring the Lines Between Mass Market and Haute Couture In today’s fashion landscape, the lines between mass-market brands and luxury are increasingly blurred. Once, high fashion and affordable retail lived in separate worlds, but now they exist on a spectrum thanks to collaborations, tech-driven personalization, and shifting consumer values. This leads us to an important question: “How does the role and necessity of creative directors differ between luxury and mass-market brands in today’s evolving fashion landscape?” The Role of Creative Directors in Luxury Fashion For luxury brands like @Prada, @Gucci, and @Burberry, creative directors are the custodians of tradition and the visionaries of the brand’s future. They balance the weight of history with the need to innovate. Their role is to ensure that every collection tells a story, upholds the brand’s identity, and offers something fresh. It’s about maintaining exclusivity, craftsmanship, and emotional connection with the consumer. In luxury, it’s not just about clothes—it’s about creating a world. This is where visionary leadership, like @RafSimons at Prada, keeps luxury brands relevant while preserving their heritage. #LuxuryFashion #HauteCouture #CreativeDirectors #FashionInnovation #FashionLeadership #CulturalRelevance #FashionTrends Post 2: Creative Directors in the Mass Market – More Necessary Than Ever The necessity of creative direction has also grown in the mass-market space. Traditionally, brands like @Uniqlo focused on affordability and accessibility, but that’s changing. Mass-market brands are increasingly tapping into high fashion aesthetics to stay relevant. Their creative directors focus on translating trends into products that appeal to a wide audience. Clare Waight Keller and Lemaire and Tranh have brought high fashion credibility to @Uniqlo, showing that creative direction is as important in the mass market as in luxury fashion. A New Question of Necessity In both luxury and mass-market brands, creative directors are now a necessity—but for different reasons. Luxury relies on them to maintain tradition and exclusivity, while mass-market brands need them to bring cultural relevance and aspirational design to accessible fashion. The future of fashion lies in bridging these worlds, where creativity is valued across the board.

Is luxury becoming mass? 📉 Let’s take a simple comparison between Women’s Spring Summer 2025 and the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: 🔹SS25 runways received on average 4,727 live audience on Instagram, while 2024 VSFS achieved 149,000 — a multiplier of 45. 🔹SS25 runways received on average 4,676 live audience on YouTube, while 2024 VSFS achieved 1,736,604 — a multiplier of 442. 🥁As debates continue around whether luxury has drifted toward mediocrity, subtle cues suggest fashion giant is adjusting attitude towards creativity: the lucrative seat for 香奈兒 artistic director has remained unfilled since Virginie Viard’s departure on June 6 earlier. Nonetheless, Chanel manifests minimal concerns towards the abrupt gap in creative leadership. The brand has recently released #N5IsTheAnswer ad featuring Margot Robbie, #CHANELWinterTale curated by Valentina Li…Exhibition GABRIELLE CHANEL: FASHION MANIFESTO goes nice and sound in Power Station of Art in Shanghai—All while CHANEL SS25 was presented by ateliers than one creative leader.

https://lnkd.in/ejmA8-UH Fashion Designer and Luxury Why Fashion Is Quaking With Creative Changes Observers said economic pressure, lifestyle trends and outmoded business models are roiling the industry as the European collection season steams ahead. By Miles Socha, Luisa Zargani "The European collection season steams ahead under such a climate of creative uncertainty and upheaval that attendees are likely to train one eye on the runway and the other on their news feeds.... ....Rodgy Guerrera, founder of boutique head hunter Rodgy Guerrera & Partners, said “the intense focus on sales figures can sometimes detract from representing the brand’s aesthetic and core identity. In the rush for financial success, the brand’s DNA may be overlooked.” This leads to a “new normal” of shorter creative tenures, she said. THE NEED TO SLOW DOWN “Perhaps the industry should slow down and give creative directors the time and space to do what they do best — create,” Guerrera said. “They need support from management teams and a shared vision to succeed. Otherwise, the problems lie not with creativity, but with the structure of the company itself, which may ultimately hinder long-term success.” #theneedtoslowdown; #wwd, #luisazargani, #rodgyguerrera, #fashion, #creativity, #newnormal, #fashionindustry, #guerrera, #headhunter

The game of musical chairs among creative directors is almost over (Blazy at Chanel, Rider at Celine...). So what does that mean for fashion in 2025? The New York Times Fashion Director Vanessa Friedman's piece is spot on and sparks so many thoughts on the future of fashion and luxury (especially in this economic climate). As she so succinctly puts it: "It's time for a fashion revolution.... ...Out of chaos came creativity. That’s where we are now: at a mass inflection point when the world order is in flux, social mores are shifting, the A.I. era is dawning and it’s not clear how everything will be resolved. The first quarter of the 21st century, with the ascent of streetwear and athleisure, is over. There is a hunger for the defining next." Her recounting of how past designers revolutionized fashion serves as a reminder that ideas once considered shocking often evolve to become part of the mainstream. But many of her examples, from Chanel's LBD to Dior's New Look, were created at a time 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 luxury conglomerates. So I wonder how much leeway designers are now given to flex their creative muscles? How calculated must their risks be? Will they be given enough creative control to "Surprise us. Enchant us. Shock us." as Friedman requests? Or will executives with a short-term vision put the kibosh on revolutionary ideas that may not directly translate to immediate sales? I’m eager to see what debuts on the runways this year - but just as curious about the pieces that never make it there. #fashion #luxury #CreativeDirectors #trends2025
