Aurora James’ Wildflower: A Different Kind of Founders Tale

Wildflower isn’t your typical founder story. Sebastian Kim Aurora James’ ethereally beautiful face has been on the covers of fashion, business and news magazines worldwide for nearly a decade. Her story is that of the fairytale founder: James, Toronto-born and New York-based, building Brother Vellies from her bedroom into an internationally renowned, Vogue-championed success. But her new book, Wildflower: A Memoir, challenges this narrative. In telling her own story, James strips much of the gloss from her entrepreneurial journey and lays bare the devastating experiences she had as a child, moving between homes and surviving abuse by her stepfather. It’s evening in Los Angeles when we speak, and James is headed out to dinner with a friend later. She’s been making a conscious effort to spend more time nurturing her personal life, which she admits is...

Coronation fashion: a royal catwalk show to launch King Charles’s Britain | King Charles Coronation

Pprincess Anne in a crimson-plumed bicorn hat, swashbuckling through Westminster Abbey in a Napoleonic velvet cloak. Penny Mordaunt stealing the show in a teal two-piece that echoed the commanders’ wives in The Handmaid’s Tale, accessorised with a giant sword. Nine-year-old Prince George, a Nutcracker toy soldier comes to life, resplendent in crimson and frogging. As a catwalk for King Charles’s Britain, the coronation was undeniably spectacular. A feast of pageantry served up glorious visual entertainment during the long hours in Westminster Abbey. Advance briefings from the palace had suggested Charles wanted a modern, pared-down event reflecting a 21st-century country in the grip of a cost of living crisis, but the optics of the clothes were surprisingly jazzy and eccentric. This was a grandstanding of Britain as the land of Mary Poppins and Strictly Come Dancing, of...

Descrease article font size Increase article font size It was a veritable rainbow of fashion on an otherwise gray and rainy coronation day for King Charles III. A mix of royals, celebrities, world leaders and dignitaries flocked to Westminster Abbey to witness the crowning of Charles and Queen Camilla.

Tiffany, Dior: Understanding the New Model for Luxury Flagships

NEW YORK — For luxury brands with global ambitions, a founding flagship is as important to the mission as Disney World is to Disney. Nowhere is that more true than for Tiffany, which is set to reopen its Fifth Avenue flagship Friday after a multi-year renovation. In addition to being the most visible and famous manifestation of the brand (enshrined in the popular imagination by the 1961 film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”), the store is a cash cow, generating around 10 percent of sales prior to its closure. Few, if any, luxury brands of Tiffany’s size rely so heavily on a single location. For LVMH, which paid $15.8 billion (luxury’s biggest ever deal) to acquire Tiffany in January 2021, getting the renovation right is therefore critical to its “shock and awe” campaign to transform a beloved, if...
