Fashion’s fascination with sci-fi aesthetics, which bubbled up during the fall 2024 collections, continues to play out in advertising. To wit: KENZO Mode‘s latest coed campaign was shot amid the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote, Spain, which might as well be another planet. Photographer Johnny Dufort trained his camera on models rambling over the rocky terrain at El Volcancito, Charco de los Clicos and Teseguite, while Frank Lebon created a series of short films of models roaming at night across the almost Martian terrain.

Diptyque Paris is aiming high with its newest fragrances. The brand, which turned 60 in 2021, is debuting a luxury perfume concept called Les Essences de Diptyque, which entails five eaux de parfum and a discovery set, priced respectively at $330 and $200. They begin rolling out to the brand’s own website, brick-and-mortar stores in the U.S. and Canada and key retailers this month. Executives agreed it was part of a larger strategic initiative to capture the higher end of the fragrance market, which has seen the brand open all-encompassing boutiques globally and even debut an offering of bespoke candles.

Zara has conscripted designer Stefano Pilati to translate his much-admired personal style into a capsule collection, WWD has learned. About 50 styles for men and 30 for women, plus shoes and bags, are expected to go on sale in early October, backed by a campaign lensed by Steven Meisel. Contacted by WWD, Zara confirmed the project and the Meisel shoot, but said other details are still under wraps. Best known for helming Yves Saint Laurent in Paris and Ermenegildo Zegna in Milan, Pilati has in recent years devoted himself to Random Identities, the gender-fluid menswear line he rebooted last year, with production and distribution handled by Dover Street Market Paris.

After two years, Andrea Incontri and Benetton Group are parting ways, marking the latest change at the Italian company. In a statement issued Friday evening Milan time, Benetton said the decision was made in mutual agreement as “part of the rearrangement of the organization that is taking place, aimed at defining the team of managers that will flank” newly appointed chief executive officer Claudio Sforza in this “new phase of rationalization and relaunch of the company.” The internal team will now be in charge of creativity and design.

One could easily say Diane von Furstenberg and Oprah Winfrey are kindred spirits. Or, as Winfrey put it, “there’s a soul connection” between them. Ahead of the DVF (Diane von Furstenberg) Awards to be held Thursday evening, coinciding with the 60th Art Biennale and the 81st Venice Film Festival, von Furstenberg and Winfrey spoke at the fashion designer’s stunning apartment in the 15th-century Palazzo Giustinian Brandolini on the Grand Canal — a marvel of stuccoed or wooden carved ceilings and frescoed rooms. “It’s been amazing,” von Furstenberg said of the awards, which this year is in its 15th edition. “It’s all about giving support to these women and to their organizations, but also visibility. And because you want to give visibility, you also need to have famous women.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/eihhhiTi

SkinSpirit opened its first skin care clinic in 2003, long before the med spa boom. “We are the largest provider of Botox and filler in the United States,” said cofounder Lynn Heublein, a tech entrepreneur and Stanford business graduate. She launched the endeavor with her physician at the time, Dean Vistnes, a board-certified plastic surgeon and fellow Stanford alum. “I had gotten familiar with some of these aesthetic treatments personally and had such a great experience with them myself that I could really see the potential of how you could really impact a client’s life,” Heublein went on. She and Vistnes teamed up noticing how much research and development was being invested in the category and opened doors in Palo Alto, Calif. They now have 45 U.S. locations, with 650 employees. In 2023, SkinSpirit treated about 115,000 clients and performed more than 200,000 medical treatments. Of those, 115,000 included Botox. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ehsGYDh8

When it comes to consumer demographics, retailers are constantly looking for ways to segment their shoppers and expand into other target cohorts. A new study by Coresight Research gives insight into who are the 2024 shoppers in the apparel and accessories, footwear, and beauty sector — which is characterized by age and household income. The report surveyed more than 5,200 U.S. consumers aged 18 and older from May to July. Within the non-food shopper profiles, the report’s authors found that Amazon appeals the most to older demographics versus other brick-and-mortar retailers. Macy's also has the biggest urban shopper among non-food retailers, followed by Target. For apparel and accessories, Kohl's has the oldest average shopper and H&M has the youngest average shopper.
