Cavan Sullivan is a phenom. The 15-year-old is already a professional soccer player - a midfielder for the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer. And in three years, when he turns 18, his contract - which is reportedly worth $500,000 a year - has a clause that calls for him to be transferred to Manchester City Football Club. On the sponsorship front, he's an ambassador for adidas and Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, a fast-food chicken fingers restaurant chain. And now, Sullivan will become an ambassador for Aéropostale as well. Read more here : https://lnkd.in/ebHyQhJ6

To mark the celebration of this year's Diwali, Barbie has teamed up for the first time with globally recognized Indian designer Anita Dongre to create a Diwali doll. Diwali is one of India's most recognized celebrations, also known as the Festival of Lights - commemorating the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness and marking new beginnings. Anita Dongre is one of the major fashion powerhouses to come out of India; the brand describes itself as being "Consciously crafted. Rooted In Rajasthan." The Diwali Barbie doll was designed by Dongre and pays homage to the brand's merging of traditional Indian craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Rajasthan, Dongre's "eternal muse," is particularly known for its colorful and bright looks in contrast to the dry and arid desert where its people reside.

Performance shorts and compression T-shirts are a far cry from polyester regeneration but that’s the world that Patrik Frisk is immersed in now. The former chief executive officer of Under Armour now serves as CEO of Reju, a textile regeneration company based in Paris that just completed the buildout of a plant to recycle polyester fabrics. Called the Regeneration Hub Zero, the factory, which is in Frankfurt, can recover, collect and sort textiles that have been discarded and turn them into Reju Polyester, which has a 50 percent lower carbon footprint than virgin polyester.

In RetailNext’s latest “Retail Vibe Check Report,” researchers at the in-store analytics platform provider zeroed in on Generation Z and found some startling behavior patterns. The big standout was that Gen Z expects the same experience in a physical store as when they shop online. “Gen Z lives at the intersection of digital and physical worlds — they’re not abandoning in-store shopping — instead, they’re demanding it evolve,” RetailNext said in the report. “Their frustrations with long lines, crowded spaces, and out-of-stock items reflect a deeper need: they want stores to work for them like the digital world does — instant, personalized and frictionless.” There’s a lot at stake if retailers can meet these demands. Authors of the report estimate Gen Z’s spending power in the U.S. at $360 billion. Finish the story on WWD: https://lnkd.in/eHm2wQ9A

Unlike most runway looks, the strapless minidress made of DHL tape that Gigi Hadid modeled in Vetements’ runway could be knocked off at home. But VETEMENTS GROUP AG wasn’t taking any liberties with DHL’s intellectual property, since the two brands began collaborating in 2015. Hadid‘s DHL dress for Vetements‘ anniversary show was not a surprise for the Bonn, Germany-based international shipping and package delivery specialist, according to Arjan Sissing, head of group brand marketing at DHL Group. “We found it incredibly exciting, and well-aligned with our own brand’s 55-year anniversary that we celebrated last week. And then we provided the necessary red and yellow DHL packing tape so Vetements could create this striking dress,” Sissing said.
