Luxury brands are looking to trainers for new business

Designer denim used to be the go-to strategy of luxury labels to lure in new customers, but now it seems as if trainers are the new jeans.

While brands like Dior Homme, Hugo Boss, and Louis Vuitton have long been in the market of men's designer trainers - with the latter's collaboration with rapper Kanye West selling out in no time last year - women's counterparts are just now gaining momentum.

Lanvin and Pierre Hardy launched successful ranges, Gucci inuagurated its Icon Temporary pop-up store in London last week to promote its new line of sneakers designed by hip music producer Mark Ronson, and this week, stiletto label Jimmy Choo celebrated the introduction of its $600 trainer collection with a social media-savvy scavenger hunt across the same city.

After its partnerships with Ugg and H&M, it could be safe to say that Choo knows where the money is, but even if in doubt, all its creative head, Tamara Mellon needs to check are the fan figures on Stylophane's Facebook Fashion Index: sneaker brands such as Converse count more than two million fans while their high-heeled competitors (Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin) have 100,000 or less.

The trend is not restricted to luxury brands, by the way: leading flip flop label Havaianas also just presented its first collection of high tops.

Erdem wins British Fashion Council and Vogue Designer Fund award

Read about Erdem,  a lean fashion house of just 5 employees, which includes the designers, and how they won the $200,000.00 Vogue Designer Fund...

Flower dressing: why Erdem is a winner
By Lisa Armstrong

Meet Erdem, candidate for the title of World’s Most Modest Designer — no, really — and, I can reveal today, winner of the first British Fashion Council and Vogue Designer Fund. 

He may already be a favourite of Sarah Brown, Samantha Cameron, Keira Knightley and Michelle Obama, but 24 hours after being given the good news about the £200,000 award this week, he called back to check that there hadn’t been a mistake.

There hadn’t, although it was closely contested. There was a lot at stake. This is by far the biggest sum ever awarded to a fashion designer in this country: enough to have a significant impact on a fledgeling label. In some cases, it might make the difference between there being a future and not being one.

After the eight nominees made their presentations back in January, there was much feverish among the panel of twenty industry experts — a mixture of retailers from Harrods, Marks & Spencer and Topshop, who all contributed to the fund, and one journalist (me), headed up by the Vogue Editor, Alexandra Shulman.

NEW YORK, United States — Last Friday, BoF attended “Organizing for Digital and Social Media: Metrics, Structure, Culture,” an event with a long name that turned out to be refreshingly succinct. The half-day session at NYU’s Stern School of Business was hosted by Professor Scott Galloway’s thinktank, LuxuryLab, and attended by brands including Burberry, Gucci and Cartier.

Sarah Chubb, President of Condé Nast Digital (US), kicked off the morning, announcing that her team had just submitted a number of iPad applications to Apple in advance of the tablet’s much anticipated arrival (in the US market) later this week. “We want our brands to be wherever people want to consumer them,” said Ms. Chubb, adding that the iPad was the perfect platform for translating the “delicious” experience of print magazines into digital.
