AYT Studio carves a path between contemporary fashion and artistic expression
The brand can be found online via its aesthetic e-commerce store, but Yasmine El Kadiri relies on physical encounters to best express her concept. This approach was validated after a pop-up in the Marais district of Paris in spring, in which Remed's works mirrored the clothes on display, enabling the label to reach both French and international customers. The designer is continuing in this vein, exhibiting her creations until the end of July at the We Are club in Paris, located on rue Saint-Honoré and dedicated to the creative industries. The brand will then move on to the new We Are location in Lille, at 22, place Louise-de-Bettignies, in the heart of Vieux-Lille. This will be followed by another installation for a few days in the Parisian space, during the next Women's Fashion Week. "This period is also an opportunity to meet buyers, particularly department stores who are interested in concepts that blend different universes. I'm convinced that in the plethora of ready-to-wear on offer, what's going to make the difference is authenticity and commitment. The relationship with wholesale can take time, but there are opportunities around different venues, such as art foundations, and I'm a big believer in hotels. These are places where it's possible to express this relationship between the collection and the artist's work", said the entrepreneur, who is moving ahead with partnerships with resorts, to offer her editions as cruise collections. With its original concept, beyond seducing buyers, AYT Studio is also imagining a new approach to fashion distribution.

Can-can celebrations as iconic Moulin Rouge windmills turn again
The windmills of the Moulin Rouge, one of France's most famous landmarks, are turning again after they accidentally collapsed last year. In a ceremony befitting of the extravagant cabaret, a troupe stopped traffic on Thursday night by performing the can-can outside the Parisian venue to celebrate the machine being back in motion thanks to a new electric motor. The windmill huge sails crashed suddenly and inexplicably to the ground in April 2024 as a result of what its director described as a 'technical problem'. Part of the iconic illuminated sign also dropped. No one was hurt in the accident and shows continued as damage was quickly repaired to ensure the venue was picture perfect before the Olympic torch relay passed through the surrounding Montmarte neighbourhood. The windmill was first illuminated on October 6, 1889 at the opening of the Moulin Rouge. The cabaret marked its 135th anniversary last year and was celebrated in the 2001 Baz Luhrmann film musical starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. The only serious accident in the Moulin Rouge's history was a fire that occurred during building works in 1915, which led to the venue's closure for nine years.
