As department stores and online giants struggle, a new generation of independent boutiques are carving out their own path for success. Often that means eschewing easy online sales, investing in brick-and-mortar offerings and taking a chance on emerging labels. Read more by BoF's Cathaleen Chen

Sometimes you don’t know whether to laugh or cry. In a week that brought us a crushing far right wave in France, and the United States Supreme Court giving the former commander-in-chief (now convicted felon) unprecedented immunity, designer Marc Jacobs argued forcefully in favour of raging against the dying of the light. “Joy, Period” was the title of his show notes, and despite our collective feeling that there is no way out of the abyss into which we are sinking, it was a beautiful balmy night in Manhattan, and Jacob’s off-schedule presentation took place again in the soaring main hall of the New York Public Library. It lasted a full five minutes — six, maybe, if you were seated at the far end of the runway. (The show began exactly at 7:30pm, and if you lived nearby, you could get home by 7:45 to hear President Biden excoriating the Supreme Court ruling.) But as it turns out, you can cover a lot of ground in five minutes. The show began with enormous white sundresses with almost humorously distended bustlines, that managed to exhibit the will to stand up on their own, and yet also evinced a surprising lightness. It was the first of many looks that seemed to argue that perhaps we could escape — not to Canada! — but to a cartoon universe where the inhabitants would greet us wearing ginormous eyelashes glued to their heads by neon-bright strips shaped like fruit slices. (Because, why not?) Furthering this comical comic strip vibe were shoes with toes curved like Smurf hats. Giant polka dot frocks brought to mind the wardrobe of Minnie Mouse; a tailleur owed its colour scheme — bright red big-buttoned jacket on top; swirly royal blue on the bottom — to Olive Oyl from “Popeye.” The ball gowns that closed the show had the air of Cinderella’s iconic periwinkle evening dress, here rendered in, among other combos, purple-and-fire engine red, accompanied by gargantuan white gloves that might have been purloined from a Toon Town surgical theatre.

The Outsiders Perspective, a UK-based nonprofit focused on ethnic minorities in fashion, has launched TOP Community, an industry wide alliance connecting people of colour working in the industry. On Tuesday, the organisation, in partnership with the Fashion Business School at London College of Fashion, held its first biannual meeting for the group, which will function much like an industry-wide ERG. (ERGs are employee-led groups designed to unite underrepresented groups, foster camaraderie and promote inclusivity within companies.) The group comprises of about 50 fashion-industry professionals from brands such as Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Asos, and Burberry, working in functions like merchandising, marketing, human resources, and sales. The members, who hold roles ranging from junior to C-suite level, were nominated by their respective companies. Read more.

In order to snag an appointment with these top practitioners, customers are going to increasingly intricate lengths. Those on their wait lists want them and them alone, according to Sukeena Rao, co-founder of lifestyle concierge Luminaire, which offers personal shopping and sourcing across fashion and beauty. “Just two weeks ago, we flew someone from LA to the Middle East to see a specific hairstylist,” she said, adding that the client was motivated by the stylist’s red-carpet work. “We can offer a whole gamut of people, but no, they want that one specific person.” Get to know these in-demand beauty practitioners who have carved out unique brands and signature looks by BoF's Daniela Morosini
