What a fashion show costs in 2024
With growing costs of production coupled with economic uncertainty, runway shows are becoming increasingly expensive. Vogue Business set out to explore what the cost of a fashion show in 2024 looks like, but only two labels — Jordanluca, which showed in Milan, and Zomer, which showed in Paris — responded. Jordanluca’s designers Jordan Bowen and Luca Marchetto break down that the brand’s latest show in June had a budget of £200,000, and the biggest cost is always production and venue (for Spring 2025, this totaled £80,000). To cover costs for venue, production, casting and more, independent brands are increasingly embracing unconventional partnerships along with sponsorship deals. {Vogue Business/paywalled}
Steven Alan is back
Steven Alan closed all of his U.S. locations in 2019, but now, he’s opening a new store on West 20th Street in Chelsea. Reminiscent of his original Wooster Street store, Alan’s shop carries vintage jewelry and watches, Merz b. Schwanen T-shirts, Aurora Shoe Company and items from Alan’s own label. With a focus on delivering a sense of discovery, Alan’s return to retail is fueled by the closures of his former local stores and others like Barneys New York, Opening Ceremony and Bird. {The New York Times/paywalled}

A beauty brand for teens, by teens (sort of)
After Aaron Chatterley’s teenage twins Frankie and India pointed out a gap in the beauty market for teenagers, Chatterley tapped Reena Hammer, former managing director of Urban Retreat, as CEO of Indu Beauty to create a beauty brand specifically made for teens. With many brands catering to either children or adults, Indu Beauty is informed by a committee of real teens and formulated with teen skin in mind, with products including sunscreen, mascara, blush, lip oil and more. “They just want to feel elements of being heard, elements of being listened to, being able to have bits of control in their lives,” Hammer told Teen Vogue. {Teen Vogue}

Naomi Campbell banned from being charity trustee over Fashion for Relief misconduct
Following a watchdog investigation uncovering evidence of financial misconduct at Fashion For Relief, Naomi Campbell has been banned from being a charity trustee. Fashion For Relief, the charity Campbell fronted for more than a decade, reportedly only gave a small fraction of the millions it raised from fashion events to good causes, resulting in Campbell being disqualified for five years. The Charity Commission found that Fashion For Relief spent tens of thousands of pounds on luxury hotel rooms, spa treatments, cigarettes and personal security for Campbell. {The Guardian}
