Prada launches its Re-Nylon collection
Prada's Re-Nylon campaign is fronted by Brits Benedict Cumberbatch and Emma Watson, who is a passionate climate justice activist.
Prada
Nylon has been an emblematic Prada material since the end of the 1970s. Introduced in accessories by Miuccia Prada, it also embodies Prada's desire for sustainability, through the Re-Nylon collection.
This new material comes from the recycling and purification of plastic collected from oceans, fishing nets and landfills, transformed into polymers and then into threads, creating a fabric that can be regenerated endlessly.
In addition to this, Prada will donate 1% of proceeds from the Re-Nylon collection to Sea Beyond, the educational program launched in 2019 by the Prada Group and UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC).

French athletes, dressed!
Le Coq Sportif revealed the outfits of French athletes at the Olympics Le Coq Sportif
The Paris Olympic Games will take place this summer, from July 26 to August 11, 2023. For the organizers, they started much longer.
In February 2022, Le Coq Sportif chose designer Stéphane Ashpool to design the outfits that will dress the French athletes, who then worked for two years.
We had to imagine the representational outfits that athletes wear during ceremonies, on podiums or in the media, in addition to those for training and competitions.
Stéphane Ashpool reinvents the flag and explains: “Sport is different from fashion.
It's more technical.
You have to work within a framework, meet specifications.
It's a totally different exercise, very interesting.
When you dress someone who does fencing or judo, especially in competition, it's demanding.
There are more than 60 different sports at the Olympics, we dress the athletes from morning to night.
I tried to bring a more pop, brighter spirit to the flag.”
The collection and its creation process can be discovered on

Courrèges x Dizonord
Dizonord, the independent record store in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, has left its suitcases in the Marais for a few weeks.
A pop-up opens its doors, offering products chosen in collaboration with Courrèges and its artistic director, Nicolas Di Felice.
Among the selection, the album Homework by Daft Punk (1997), Portfolio by Grace Jones, and Sexuality by Sébastien Tellier.
A musical but also artistic curation, with numerous printed objects: art books, specialized magazines, original photographic prints, archives of vintage party flyers, and other wonders for amateurs.
Resolutely libertarian, lgbtqia+ friendly and skillfully underground, the niche boutique is adorned with the creator's vision.
The Dizonord boutique in collaboration with Courrèges is open until February 25, at 119 rue Vieille du Temple, 75003 Paris. All week, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.

It's not just the snow that shines under the mountain sun.
To hit the slopes without minimalism, Fusalp has teamed up with Swarovski.
The two brands, French and Swiss respectively, are redefining the ski silhouette.
It is now glamorous, with its blue snake scale patterns and crystal ornaments.
The idea is applied to Fusalp's emblematic pieces, such as skinny pants, jumpsuits and down jackets, but also to undershirts, sleeveless jackets and a ski helmet.
Without compromising on technicality, for winter sports with character.
