Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, CFDA's, Jil Sander+ x Arc'teryx, Tiffany & Co. x Supreme & Daniel Lee

Clockwise from Top.

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt

We saw some images this week of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, the oldest of the Angela Jolie and Brad Pitt’s biological children. She looks exactly like both her parents, it’s uncanny.

She’s 15 year old, and have to imagine she is going to take the Lily-Rose Depp route and start modeling pretty soon.

CFDA

The CFDA - the US fashion trade group - had its annual gala last week at The Pool, famous for its literal pool in the middle of the restaurant and many a fancy wedding (including Marc Jacobs).

Christopher John Rogers and Emily Bode were the big winners (Womenswear and Menswear designers of the year, respectively), and everyone flipped out over Kid Cudi’s outfit.¹

(Designed by indie fashion darling ERL). Lots more looks here.

Jil Sander+ x Arc’teryx

The second biggest collab of the week was Jil Sander+ and Arc’teryx linking up. We love how utterly superfluous the whole collection is; is there really a customer for a $2600 Gore-Tex Ski Overall with an offset zipper? Well maybe, since it’s already sold out. In fact, most of the collection is sold out.

Projects like this are a great excuse to push price point and silhouette, and like that the brands went really hard into technical outwear.²

Tiffany & Co. x Supreme

The long rumored hard jewelry collab has officially dropped, with Tiffany & Co. and Supreme releasing a tight capsule of necklaces, bracelets and studs (and of course a Tiffany Blue box logo tee).

It comes as little surprise, with rumors circling since at least September, as well as well-known Supreme supporter Ruba Abu-Nimah taking over as Creative Director.³

The product itself was not the most exciting - a pearl necklace was maybe the most unique piece, and is commanding a high price on the secondary market. We would have liked to have seen Supreme’s take on a diamond ring - a lost opportunity to emulate the likes of up-and-coming brands like Seb Brown or Bleue Burnham.

Most interesting here is the positing of a hard luxury “drop” - not something you see from brands like Cartier, Van Cleef or Bulgari. It’s more familiar in the watch space, but less so for jewelry. We see this as a bid for Tiffany & Co. to reach a younger customer who may be priced out of its diamond product.

Daniel Lee

Bottega Veneta’s dynamo creative director will be leaving the brand immediately. Lee famously resuscitated the house when he joined in 2018, replacing Tomas Maier who had been creative director for 17 years. Sales quickly sky rocketed once Lee was running the show, and it seemed like he had free reign to do as he pleased. This shoot certainly exuded confidence.

If you own any Lee-era Bottega, hold on to it as everything is immediately a collector’s item. Think Phoebe Philo-era Celine.

Unclear why he left⁴, or who is taking over⁵, or what Lee will be doing next⁶.

Richemont and Farfetch get closer, which means the YNAP divestiture is even more likely.

1. The lighting is much, much more forgiving here.

3. She posted this yesterday.

4. Best guess? Lee wanted more power and control than Kering was willing to give. See his so-so show in out-of-the-way Detroit.

5. Perhaps the design director will get his shot.

6. Probably starting his own line - he should have no trouble finding investors.
