Balmain debuts Pre-Fall 2021 through the windows of its Paris flagship store
Olivier Rousteing is unveiling his latest line for Balmain, Pre-Fall 2021, through the windows of the brand’s Saint-Honoré flagship store in Paris, photographing the looks live and live-streaming the whole production. According to the designer, house founder Pierre Balmain often shot his collections outside in front of Balmain’s first address, 44, rue François Premier. “In fact, we recently recreated some of those Paris-sidewalk images for the launch of our accessories and designs covered in the relaunched PB-Labyrinth pattern — and [this] shooting further builds upon that unique house tradition,” Rousteing explained in a statement.

Eva Kruse, founder and CEO of Global Fashion Agenda, steps down
After 15 years, Eva Kruse is leaving Global Fashion Agenda, the sustainability-focused organization she founded (and that puts on the Copenhagen Fashion Summit), at the end of February 2021, to join Pangaia. “Clearly it has not been an easy decision to leave my life’s work with Global Fashion Agenda and not least my amazing team. However, time has come for me to seek new challenges and opportunities,” she said in a statement. “I remain convinced about the mission of Global Fashion Agenda and believe the future for the foundation is incredibly important and exciting. I’m very pleased to be able to continue to be part of the development by being part of the Board.” Search for a new CEO is underway; chief operating officer Travis Peoples and chairman Niels Eskildsen will lead Global Fashion Agenda in the interim. {Fashionista Inbox}
