Heron Preston exits New Guards Group
New Guards Group (NGG) has lost another label. Following the recent exit of Palm Angels, luxury streetwear brand Heron Preston too has left the Italian fashion group, and is back in its eponymous founder's control. The news was confirmed by Preston himself, on the homepage of the Heron Preston website. 'I've been through one of the toughest and most pivotal chapters of my life, but I came out of it clearer, stronger, and more in love with my purpose. I stayed focused, fought hard to reclaim my brand, and I did it! This next chapter is about building with intention, freedom and clarity. I'm not looking back—I'm building something bigger,' said Preston on the site, which has been emptied of all content. The US designer has also closed down the label's Instagram account. Heron Preston was launched in early 2017 with NGG, and it generated revenue of €25 million in the first two years in business. Heron Preston's last collection was presented at New York Fashion Week, with the Fall/Winter 2023 season. The label's exit is the latest instance in the exodus from NGG. The Italian group was bought in 2019 by Farfetch, which in turn was later acquired and saved from bankruptcy by Korean group Coupang. In the 2010s, Milan-based NGG managed to bring under its umbrella several popular streetwear brands. But in recent months, names like Ambush, Palm Angels, Off-White and County of Milan have left the group.

Lyon wins appeal against relegation, will stay in Ligue 1
Olympique Lyonnais won its appeal against relegation on Wednesday, July 9, and will stay in Ligue 1 next season. The seven-time French champions were relegated to the second tier two weeks ago by the French league's football regulator, known as the DNCG, because of ongoing financial irregularities and debts estimated at €175 million. Lyon immediately appealed and presented its case before the DNCG on Wednesday. "Olympique Lyonnais welcomes today's decision by the DNCG to keep the club in Ligue 1," the club said in a statement. "OL thanks the appeals committee for recognizing the ambition of the club's new management, which is determined to ensure serious management in the future." Last Wednesday, American businesswoman Michele Kang took over as president after John Textor resigned following the club's relegation. Lyon added that Textor has also resigned from the board of directors. He became Lyon president three years ago, taking over from longstanding incumbent Jean-Michel Aulas, who sold to Textor's Eagle Football Holdings. The second-largest shareholder at the club behind Textor, Kang was already president of the Lyon women's team. The 66-year-old is supported in her role by Michael Gerlinger, the general manager of Textor-owned Eagle Football Holdings. "The new management, supported by the commitment and dedication of our shareholders and lenders, is extremely grateful for all the support received both within and outside the club," Lyon added. "Today's decision is the first step in restoring confidence in Olympique Lyonnais. We can now focus our attention on our sporting objectives, fully preparing for next season." Wednesday's verdict also ensures Lyon plays in the Europa League next season after qualifying with a sixth-placed finish in Ligue 1 last season. Textor, 59, also holds stakes in Brazilian side Botafoga and Belgian club Molenbeek. He sold his 43% stake in Premier League outfit Crystal Palace in mid-June as he tried to balance the books at Lyon. Lyon has reduced its salary bill with attacker Alexandre Lacazette and goalkeeper Anthony Lopes released. The club also sold Rayan Cherki to Manchester City and Maxence Caqueret to Como. Textor said his Eagle group has also put €83 million into the club.
