Marni's Meryll Rogge Era Begins & Loro Piana Labor Abuses Revealed in This Week's Top Fashion News
Marnihas officially named Belgian designerMeryll Roggeas its new Creative Director, followingFrancesco Risso's departure. Rogge, the 2025ANDAMGrand Prize winner with prior experience atMarc JacobsandDries Van Noten, expressed her honor in joining Marni, a brand she has 'long admired for its independent spirit'. Since founding her own brand in 2020, Rogge has gained recognition for her distinct blend of vintage whimsy and contemporary craftsmanship. OTB Chairman Renzo Rosso praised Rogge's ability to reinterpret Marni's DNA with a contemporary vision that spans all brand dimensions, including accessories and interior design. LVMH-ownedLoro Pianahas been placed under court administration for a year by a Milan court following the severe beating of a worker who demanded unpaid wages at a subcontracted workshop. Investigations revealed the facility, which produced Loro Piana cashmere, employed undocumented migrant workers forced to work up to 90 hours weekly for €4 an hour and housed illegally. Loro Piana stated it was unaware of the subcontractors' violations and terminated ties with the supplier. This case is part of a broader crackdown on labor exploitation in the luxury sector, with other brands likeArmani,Dior, andValentinoalso facing similar scrutiny. The incident underscores ongoing injustices against laborers in the global apparel supply chain, despite high retail prices for luxury goods.

The presentation will spotlight the artistry of Chanel's Paris ateliers and pay homage toKarl Lagerfeld's final 2018 show — also held in New York. Blazy's New York City debut is set to mark Chanel's return to the city since Lagerfeld's passing. Bruno Pavlovsky, President of Chanel SAS, expressed excitement for Blazy's return to New York, stating he will blend the city's creative energy with Chanel's savoir-faire. Blazy has a history in New York, having worked underRaf SimonsatCalvin Klein. A visual teaser, showing a double C logo over a vintage subway map, suggests a tribute to both New York's culture and Lagerfeld's legacy. Chanel has not yet shared an official date for the runway presentation Following his departure fromGivenchy,Matthew M. Williamshas officially introduced his eponymous project, reclaiming his independence as a creative force. The label, which he calls a 'project' rather than a 'brand,' focuses on crafting high-quality, wearable staples with intrinsic value, transcending trend-driven design and market pressures. After two decades in the industry, Williams now moves towards a more personal expression, distinct from both Givenchy's corporate demands andALYX's specific streetwear aesthetic. Showing a more mature, minimalist approach, the designer highlights raw materiality and precise construction, unburdened by established brand codes. The collection includes collaborations with specialty workshops, resulting in consciously crafted pieces like Japanese denim and sturdy white tees. Jil Sander's new creative director,Simone Bellotti, has unveiled his inaugural project for the fashion house: a captivating music video titled 'WANDERLUST'. The audiovisual project, featuring ethereal electronic compositions by Italian artist Bochum Welt (Gianluigi Di Costanzo), made its premiere on Instagram. Filmed in Hamburg, Germany, the music video conveys 'a wanderlust tale happening in an everyday setting, drifting between worlds and opposites'. In an interview withVogue, Bellotti shared his perspective on Jil Sander, describing it as a brand with 'definite style' and a 'complex house' that skillfully balances classicism, modernity, and lightness. This 'WANDERLUST' music video serves as a compelling prelude to his highly anticipated formal debut collection, which is slated to be presented at Milan Fashion Week this September. Acne Studioshas launched an impressive three-story flagship store in Tokyo's Aoyama district, directly oppositePrada's existing boutique. A joint effort between Creative Director Jonny Johansson and design firm Halleroed, the expansive space offers an immersive experience inspired by Tokyo's urban fabric and the brand's affinity for Japan. Blending brutalist aesthetics and refined minimalism, Acne Studios' signature pink granite is used on walls, flooring, and various furnishings. The store prioritizes an artistic atmosphere, with custom seating by Max Lamb, unique lighting by Benoit Lalloz, and expressive mannequins by Daniel Silver. Johansson also collaborated with Japanese ceramicist Takuro Kuwata, whose ceramic objects are displayed, and who created an exclusive, limited-edition capsule collection of reinterpreted Acne Studios denim for the opening.

A Devout Chloé Girl Is Parting With 80 Outfits by Karl Lagerfeld
She was quite the Chloé girl, and certainly a devotee of Karl Lagerfeld. Now she is parting ways with her groovy, historically important wardrobe, spanning some 80 looks by the famous German designer between 1974 and 1983. Auction house Bonhams Cornette de Saint Cyr is handling the online sale, which kicks off on June 26 and runs through July 9. More from WWD Charlize Theron Finds Another Out-of-the-box Summer Shoe for 'The Old Guard 2' Press Tour The Fashion Crowd Take Over the Serpentine Summer Party Princess Diana's Wedding Gown Sweeps Into the Spotlight - Again - in New Documentary An exhibition of the dresses at 6 Avenue Hoche opens on July 3, and straddles Haute Couture Week in Paris, scheduled for July 7 to 10. Bonhams is keeping the identity of the seller under wraps, but confirmed it's a single-owner collection. Estimates for the dresses start at 700 euros and run up to about 1,500 euros. Lagerfeld logged two celebrated stints at Chloé. He started working for the house in 1963 and initially worked alongside other designers brought on by founder Gaby Aghion, such as Graziella Fontana, Tan Giudicelli and Michèle Rosier. Lagerfeld took full creative control of Chloé in 1966 and worked there until 1983. He rejoined Chloé for a second time in 1992, creating memorable ad campaigns with model Linda Evangelista, before leaving for good in 1997. 'This auction is an homage to Karl Lagerfeld with an exemplary collection of designs from his early years at Chloé presented alongside groundbreaking looks from his final spring 1984 Chloé collection,' commented Hubert Felbacq, director of the fashion and accessories department at Bonhams Cornette de Saint Cyr. Among lots from that spring 1984 collection is an ivory silk evening dress embroidered with gold sequins and draped for an antique effect. It's offered with an estimate of 1,200 to 1,500 euros. Felbacq noted that under the German designer, 'Chloé entered a golden era, pushing the boundaries of prêt-à-porter with bold, narrative-driven collections. From ethereal gowns and romantic silhouettes to bold, surrealist prints, these garments exemplify Lagerfeld's unparalleled ability to blend elegance with innovation.' The Bonhams sale also spans 70 other lots of haute couture from Yves Saint Laurent, Guy Laroche, Louis Feraud, Hervé Léger, Emanuel Ungaro and Pierre Balmain.

Late fashion icon Lagerfeld's villa sold for 4.7 million euros
A villa outside Paris once owned by late fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld sold at auction on Tuesday for 4.7 million euros, under a traditional method where time is counted by candles. Bought in 2010 by Lagerfeld, who died in 2019, the villa in Louveciennes west of Paris fetched just above the asking price of 4.6 million euros ($5.4 million). Abandoned after his death, the house was purchased in 2023 by a real estate company. Held in a style the late designer himself may have approved of, the sale took place according to the traditional notary auction method, as a so-called 'candle auction'. In a candle auction, which is still commonplace in France, the sale time is defined by the burning of two small candles, each lasting about fifteen seconds. This photograph shows the exterior of a house that belonged to the late German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, in Louveciennes, near Paris.--AFP photos A sitting room of a former residence of the late German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, in Louveciennes, near Paris. The poolhouse at a former residence of the late German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, in Louveciennes, near Paris. The villa is in a two-hectare (five acre) park with three separate houses, a swimming pool and a tennis court. The house is surrounded by trees or walls ensuring 'discretion and anonymity', said Jerome Cauro, of Arias, the firm handling the sale. The designer's studio occupied a large part of the first floor of the main house. 'He put everything into this last house; he really loved it. He called it 'the true version of himself',' his muse and associate, Amanda Harlech, told Vogue in 2021. The former Chanel creative director even had his childhood bedroom recreated in a small room with leopard-print walls. According to Arias, the fashion legend carried out 'colossal works' on the property, which belonged to the 19th century poet Leconte de Lisle and members of the Rothschild family in the first half of the 19th century. 'We don't have the bill, but we estimate that the cost of the work is close to the asking price,' said Arno Felber, also a notary at Arias. Legend has it that Lagerfeld only slept there one night. The mansion was above all 'a property for peace, rest and study', where Lagerfeld liked to entertain guests, said Felber. In March 2024, Lagerfeld's futuristic three-room Paris apartment was sold for 10 million eurosy firm Althemis, twice its asking price. - AFP
