L.A. Has a New Fashion Destination for Up-and-coming Designers

Persian creative Mina Alyeshmerni is bringing her online fashion boutique to a brick-and-mortar space with the opening of Maimoun at 8400 West Third Street in West Hollywood, not far from the popular Raquel Allegra and Noodle Stories boutiques.

Maimoun is derived from the Persian word “meh-moun,” meaning the company invited to visit one’s home for a gathering, and the store is designed to feel welcoming, with tasseled floor cushions inviting customers to stay and discover the up-and-coming brands Alyeshmerni has selected.

“After being online for seven years now, it’s nice to have a home for everything and see it all together,” said Alyeshmerni, who moved from Brooklyn to L.A. during the pandemic. “I’m hoping to champion a little of New York in L.A., continue to work with emerging talent, and have this space continually change with one-off pieces or collaborations we might do.”

Puffers as a Total Look Are a Thing for Italian Outerwear Brands

The latest round of Milan shows said it loud and clear: Next fall’s statement outerwear is the overcoat. Yet even marquee names still sent puffers and more technical pieces down the runway.

For one, Prada’s cropped and collarless padded bolero jacket with a matching midi skirt and Jil Sander’s various windbreakers, anoraks and pants in lightweight technical fabrics suggested consumers aren’t done with utilitarian outerwear just yet.

The category’s specialists capitalized on the endurance of practicality in defining consumers’ adoption of winter jackets and sought inventive ways to update them, something offering padded total looks.

Premium contemporary brand Duvetica is rejigging its offering in hope of striking a balance between its positioning as a brand complementary to designer fashion and its performance-leaning spirit.

“Our goal is to increasingly tap into outdoor lovers; it’s more about broadening our reach than repositioning the brand,” said

Mumbai-based Studio Renn gives an elevated interpretation of fine jewellery, which is now on display in New York

Mumbai-based jewellers Studio Renn will be showcasing their designs at Bergdorf Goodman, New York’s iconic luxury department store this month. Founded by husband-wife duo Rahul and Roshni Jhaveri in 2018, their abstract articulation and avant-garde aesthetic of fine jewellery has been pushing the envelope and breaking the mould of a diamond design house. And their efforts have not gone unnoticed–last month they won the Wallpaper Design Award for ‘Best Hidden Gem’ and in 2021 their acid-treated concrete ‘Strangler’ ring was recognised in the innovation category of Couture Las Vegas. 

This month the studio is presenting over 40 pieces in the Fifth Avenue salon—a feat only a handful of elite Indian jewellers have been privy to (and where Sabyasachi also showed last Fall). “We are very grateful to have the opportunity to showcase our work at Bergdorf Goodman. It is only with their support that young studios like us acquire an

Working on my own jewellery brand for the last year, it’s been fascinating to see how one pair of earrings can look so different on each person. Every consideration matters from size to shape and colour to gem cut. Circle dangles can look delicate on one person and intense on the next. Each piece tells a story and helps someone express themselves.

And now with the growth of Australian jewellery brands over the last couple of years, expressing yourself via quickly shipped and locally designed pieces has never been easier. It makes us very excited. Because more brands equals more options! And that means outfits everywhere can go from plain to slayin’ with a few
