En la pintoresca región de la Toscana, donde los tonos dorados del otoño besaban los viñedos y las calles históricas, se desarrolló el siguiente capítulo de “A Father and Son Tale FW23” para Paul&Shark. Pierce Brosnan, personificación del estilo atemporal, y su hijo artístico, Paris, se embarcaron en un viaje que trascendió la moda y se aventuró en el corazón de los lazos familiares.
Bajo la perspicaz lente de Giampaolo Sgura, el fotógrafo de renombre mundial, y con el diseño del ícono de la moda Anna Dello Russo, la campaña cobró vida con una narrativa que celebraba la esencia de la familia, la herencia y la moda impecable.
La campaña comenzó con el icónico Pierce Brosnan, símbolo de sofisticación, recorriendo las encantadoras calles de la Toscana en un automóvil antiguo. Envuelto en un lujoso jersey azul de punto acanalado de la colección FW23, exudaba un aura de elegancia natural que sólo un hombre de su estatura podía transmitir.
A su lado estaba París, portadora de la antorcha de una nueva generación de estilo y creatividad. Envuelto en prendas de abrigo acolchadas y capas de cuello alto, encarnaba la esencia moderna de Paul&Shark. La interacción de generaciones fue evidente, cada una complementándose entre sí en una hermosa armonía de moda y familia.
En medio de la belleza natural de la Toscana, la familia Brosnan se deleitaba con los placeres sencillos. Colocaron mantas a cuadros sobre el césped, abrazando la serenidad de la naturaleza. Jugando a las cartas, vistiendo suéteres de punto grueso y camisas azul pálido, su alegría y unión irradiaban a través de la lente, capturando la esencia del amor y la unidad familiar.
A medida que se desarrolló la campaña, se hizo evidente que Paul&Shark era más que una simple marca para la familia Brosnan; era una extensión de sus valores y estilo, entretejida en el tejido de sus vidas. Simbolizaba la herencia que apreciaban, un testimonio de calidad y atemporalidad.
En medio de esta pintoresca historia, la colección FW23 de Paul&Shark brilló. La combinación de diseños clásicos con una estética moderna fue un testimonio del compromiso de la marca con la evolución preservando al mismo tiempo sus raíces. La colección, una obra maestra de la artesanía italiana, se hizo eco del sentimiento del cuento de la familia Brosnan: eterno, clásico y profundamente arraigado en una rica herencia.
Para concluir, la campaña FW23 de Paul&Shark, “A Father and Son Tale”, no solo mostró su excepcional colección sino que también honró la hermosa narrativa de la familia y la moda, una historia que resonó en el mundo, recordando a todos que más allá de los hilos y las telas, la moda es una celebración de la vida y los vínculos que la definen.

Paris Fashion Week: a look back at Women’s Fall/Winter 2023-2024 collections
Under the glass roof of La Samaritaine, Patou artistic director Guillaume Henry presented a collection entitled “Shopping Chronicles”. Carrying chic Caddie® shopping bags, bucket hats on their heads and shades perched on their noses, the silhouettes meandered with ready-to-roll fantasy. Laced-up thigh-boots designed in collaboration with Maison Ernest set off a wardrobe for women on the go in monochrome colorways of red, black, lavender, pink or burgundy. Shimmering puffers segue to velvet evening dresses, cozy knits are joined by denim, and high-cut smocks are worn over pencil or deep slit skirts. Patou bags are carried over the shoulder or in the hand, ready for every moment of the day amidst plays of materials and volumes. Pleated mini-skirts and crop tops reveal some skin, and hair bows underscore the feminine allure of the Patou muses.
For this season’s showcase in Milan, Artistic Director of FENDI Couture and Womenswear Kim Jones explores classicism and elegance through the lens of subtle subversion. Drawing inspiration from the wardrobe of jewelry designer Delfina Delettrez Fendi — the daughter of Silvia Venturini Fendi— the designer plays with binaries and gender archetypes in a deconstruction of ladylike sophistication.
Masculine tailoring is twisted into feminine forms throughout the collection, including boilersuits, aprons and uniforms. Lace is layered and flashes of fetishism appear through peeks of lingerie or thigh-high lace-up boots, while draped dresses are bias-cut. In a punk perspective, knitwear appears cleanly slashed or gently warped for a nonchalant silhouette. The wardrobe includes satin dresses romantically trailed by billowing scarves. The Italian house also introduced the new FENDI Multi bag, an homage to the multipurpose sensibility innate to Fendi.

eBay Opens Store in NYC that Accepts Pre-Owned Luxury as Currency
eBay Inc. Nov 16, 2022, 08:00 ET
Shoppers are invited to have their jewelry, handbags, and watches appraised and exchanged for “closet currency” to purchase authentic items from eBay’s top luxury sellers
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 16, 2022– Open during Jewelry Week in the heart of New York’s iconic Diamond District, the eBay Luxury Exchange capitalizes on the skyrocketing value of authenticated luxury items by letting shoppers exchange jewelry, handbags and watches from top brands like Gucci, Rolex, and Van Cleef & Arpels.
“It’s never been easier for luxury enthusiasts to refine their collections in a trusted environment, and we wanted to create an IRL experience that reflects what’s happening on eBay every day,” said Tirath Kamdar, GM of Luxury at eBay. “The Luxury Exchange gives shoppers an opportunity to appraise and sell their valuable goods, and add something new to their personal collections – just in time for the holiday season.”
eBay’s Luxury Exchange capitalizes on the skyrocketing value of authenticated luxury items by letting shoppers exchange jewelry, handbags and watches from top brands like Gucci, Rolex, and Van Cleef & Arpels.
eBay’s Luxury Exchange: How it Works
Shoppers have their luxury items appraised and assigned a value with which they can shop the store’s inventory of designer watches, handbags, and jewelry.
Once shoppers find an item(s) within their “currency,” they can make the exchange and walk out of the store with their new luxury goods.
If nothing in the store catches a shopper’s eye, guests can visit the on-site photo studio and opt to list on eBay themselves instead of exchanging.
The Luxury Exchange comes on the heels of the expansion of Authenticity Guarantee to jewelry, a move that significantly augments eBay’s luxury offering. eBay launched Authenticity Guarantee in 2020, and the program now includes sneakers, watches, handbags, trading cards and now, fine jewelry. As a result, more and more shoppers are turning to eBay to buy and sell their collections. This behavior is reflected in the depth and quality of inventory available on the marketplace.

The Rise of Resale: Luxury As Currency
As economic uncertainty proliferates, interest in alternative investment classes has continued to climb. According to “The Rise of Resale: Luxury As Currency” – a new report from BoF Insights, the data and analysis think tank from The Business of Fashion, conducted in partnership with eBay – approximately 30% of U.S. luxury shoppers surveyed believe the value of luxury handbags, watches, and jewelry is less volatile than other investment assets they own1.

More than half of these shoppers see their luxury items as a form of currency, and they think about their collections dynamically, as a way to trade for other items that they want. What’s more, sixty-two percent of respondents report that they have sold items from their collection for more than the original purchase price.

“Everyone Deserves Real”
Physical authentication is the leading factor in convincing a shopper to purchase a second hand luxury handbag, watch, and jewelry on an online resale platform. eBay’s commitment to authenticity in the luxury category is further evidenced by its upcoming brand campaign – “Everyone Deserves Real” – which spotlights how the pervasiveness of ‘fakery’ in pop culture contrasts with the very real world of eBay’s authentication service and its expert authenticators.

Engineered for high-performance sports, geared for metropolitan life – since 1997, Prada Linea Rossa has been inspired by and designed for champions. That encompasses the technicality of each garment, created to excel in all situations and under all conditions, but also the very ideology of Linea Rossa – of not just reaching your goals, but exceeding them.
PRADA LINEA ROSSA FALL/WINTER 2021 SKI CAMPAIGN
To front the Linea Rossa Fall/Winter 2021 ski campaign, Prada turns to those who reflect this ongoing heritage of excellence – pioneers and champions, free-thinkers who push themselves beyond. For the second time, champion British-American freestyle skier, philanthropist and prominent LGBTQI+ figure Gus Kenworthy features in a Linea Rossa campaign. A figure of excellence across all fields, Kenworthy is as comfortable as an actor and rights activist as he is on the slopes – constantly striving to be the best.
For this ski campaign, Kenworthy is joined by another leading global figure in winter sports – the American snowboarder Julia Marino, gold-medal winner in the 2017 X Games. The first female boarder to win two medals at the same X Games in 17 years, Marino took 15 podium wins across the 2017-18 season.
She has harnessed her renown and visibility to further causes close to her heart: on the women and youth empowerment front, she inspires young women to pursue their dreams, both on and off the slopes, opening up the traditionally male-dominated sport to a new generation of women. Both figures showcase the Fall/Winter 2021 Prada Linea Rossa ski collection – specifically calibrated for winter conditions, streamlined for speed, geared for life.
Captured in still images and a filmic short directed by Matt Pain, Kenworthy and Marino engage in a fierce battle across the slopes, a race between skier and snowboarder on their shared winter terrain. Their competition, however, harks back to the original root of that word – competere, ‘to strive for.’ Not a rivalry, but a sparring match, an urging of one another to push further and achieve. The ethos of champions, the attainment of excellence synonymous with Linea Rossa – a line to cross, to conqueror.
