Blending practicality with style, Barbour’s timeless designs continue to take centre stage in the most iconic wardrobes at Worthy Farm, with A-list celebrities spotted in Barbour’s heritage jackets, Wellington boots, and ready-to-wear.

At Worthy Farm, iconic figures attending Glastonbury Festival wore pieces by the British Heritage Brand Barbour. These figures include: Adwoa Aboah, Lily Allen, Joseph Quinn, Lily James, Billie Piper, Gemma Chan and Dominic Cooper, Saffron Hocking, Lennon Gallagher and more.

For model, actress and festival style icon Adwoa Aboah, she marked her return to Glastonbury for the first time since becoming a mum, sporting the Barbour Transporter Oversized Casual Jacket in Navy with a pair of ripped jeans.

Actor Joseph Quinn, who was recently announced to play George Harrison in Sam Mendes’ highly anticipated Beatles biopic, was seen effortlessly sporting the Barbour Transporter Oversized Casual Jacket.

This initiative celebrates circularity and re-loved products by offering festivalgoers the chance to experience the durability and timelessness of Barbour items. By expanding our on-site offering this year with more jackets and, for the first time, pin badges and welly toppers alongside the bucket hats from last year, we’re making it easier than ever for visitors to wear Barbour, whatever the weather.” – Paul Wilkinson, Group Deputy Managing Director at Barbour.

KidSuper Reveals Superhero CLA for Mercedes-Benz at Paris Fashion Week

May Zaben — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 05:55:52 +0000

Artist and fashion designer KidSuper came out with a unique “superhero” CLA art piece, in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz “Class of Creators”, at Paris Fashion Week.

Colm Dillane, the U.S. fashion designer and multi-talented creative head of KidSuper, revealed his superhero piece at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in the Louvre Museum in Paris during the KidSuper Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show on June 28. The art piece is said to interpret Mercedes-Benz’s brand new CLA “as a super-hero inspired art piece”. He is third of the five “Class of Creators” multi-collaboration partners who was invited to create a bold, inspiring and imaginative piece for Mercedes-Benz’s brand-new CLA.

For his piece, it features the amazing elements of turbine wings, “playful” balloon details, a front-mounted winch, a rally-style roof rack, a “nostalgic” slingshot said to be a reference to his childhood, and there are also patchwork-inspired features housing KidSuper’s famous “Kissing Face” motif.

In addition to this, the fashion piece includes signature design elements from the brand’s iconic landmark vehicles. The wheels, for example, “pay homage to the futuristic storytelling of the 1996 Mercedes-Benz F 200 concept car, while the side mirrors reference the iconic silhouette of the legendary Mercedes-Benz 200 SL. Colm’s CLA art piece”.

For this project, KidSuper also had a capsule collection that came out alongside the superhero art piece. This collection consists of jackets, shirts, trousers, a trench coat, and accessories such as hats, bags and a suitcase. They are made of materials such as cotton, canvas, poplin, jersey, wool and vegan leather. They also include the iconic Mercedes-Benz brand logo.

Mercedes-Benz ‘Class of Creators’ Art Piece & Capsule Collection by KidSuper

This iconic collaboration is an inspirational feat combining automotive design and art. It blends those two fields so seamlessly and shows that you can create art in any form.

KidSuper’s design, in partnership with Mercedes-Benz, is both a testament of this and an inspiration.

Chanel launches Nevold, its luxury textile recycling platform

May Zaben — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 11:00:50 +0000

The iconic fashion house Chanel has launched a new independent company called Nevold, born to produce, research and develop circular materials. It marks a sustainable and strategic turning point for the luxury House.

Nevold, which is separate from but launched by Chanel, is led by Sophie Brocart—former CEO of luxury brand Patou—who joined Chanel in January. Chanel’s goal with this company is to scale up the use of circular textiles both for its own collections and for third parties.

The development for Nevold included an initial investment between 50 million and 80 million euros, according to U.S. media WWD. For this project, Nevold will involve Chanel’s current principle investments: L’Atelier des Matières, Chanel’s in-house recycling lab which transforms luxury waste into reusable materials, the Filatures du Parc family-owned spinning mill business, and the French-leather recycling specialist Authentic Material.

This company is a key element in addressing the scarcity of top-grade fibres with traceable origins, the issue of waste within the fashion industry, and luxury fashion waste. Not only this, its aim to enter the world of circular fashion and produce new materials is remarkable.

“We started by asking ourselves what happens to the materials that don’t make it into a final product, or those that reach the end of their first life,” Pavlovsky, president of fashion at Chanel and Chanel SAS, tells this to Vogue Business.

“At Chanel, we didn’t destroy unsold products. But we also didn’t yet have a real system to understand their full potential. Nevold is that system.” — Pavlovsky to Vogue Business.

Nevold, then, is the entity that was created to become Chanel’s third industrial pillar. With it, Chanel will achieve its goal of developing recycled materials at an industrial scale.

In addition to working under a B2B (business-to-business) model, Nevold will also be available to other brands in addition to Chanel. In fact, it has started collaborating with the French sports chain Decathlon. To address other exciting news, Nevold already has two exciting new innovations ready to view in the fashion market: a yarn made from a blend of virgin and recycled fibres, and a recycled leather material that is already integrated into 30% of Chanel bags and 50% of Chanel shoes.

On Loss, Memory, And The Need For Change.

Ironically, I recently came across a nearly forgotten book on my bookshelf: An Inventory of Losses by Judith Schalansky. In this remarkable work, she writes about things that have disappeared—islands, artworks, languages, species. But the book is not only about what has been lost—it’s also about how we remember, what we choose to preserve, and what we may need to reinvent. These questions feel more relevant than ever.

We are living in a time marked by retreat—not only into the private sphere, but also into political and cultural backwardness, reactionary tendencies, and veiled conservatism. Sustainability, which until recently was a central guiding principle, is increasingly being questioned: climate targets are being postponed, supply chain laws weakened, and reporting obligations scaled back. The major systems—politics, economy, and society—seem exhausted in the face of complexity. At the same time, loss is real: species are vanishing, ecosystems are collapsing, and resources are depleting. And with them, parts of our future disappear. To downplay sustainability now is to practise a dangerous kind of forgetting—what we abandon today may be irretrievably lost tomorrow.

These changes are often difficult to grasp directly—slow, silent processes that fade into obscurity. We tend to define reality through immediacy: what we cannot see, hear, or feel seems less real. Yet this very intangibility is what makes it so dangerous. Philosopher Timothy Morton calls such phenomena hyperobjects—so vast in time and space that they overwhelm our ability to perceive or understand them. “They are real,” he writes, “but we cannot see them. They are here, but they cannot be touched.” The climate crisis unfolds quietly—forgetting does, too.

Memory, then, is a necessary condition for meaningful preservation. But remembrance alone is not enough—we need cultural shaping. Bold, radical, forward-thinking. In this issue of Luxiders, we explore the cultural practice of preserving, transforming, and renewing—as an act of resistance against forgetting.

Welcome to Luxiders Magazine 13
A living archive of a world in transformation,
an open invitation to co-create the future.

Jens Wittwer
Co-Founder
Luxiders Magazine

In Luxiders Magazine Print Issue 13, art and sustainability intertwine in a symphony of conscious creation. We journey through a post-human palette of imagined trends, dive into fashion stories that reveal the fragile splendour of humanity, and explore the shifting language of aesthetics shaped by time, nature, and change. Among these narratives of reinvention, we explore the essence of ageless beauty and witness how food waste transforms into a delicious gesture of sustainable gastronomy.

Voices from the art world rise—bold and unbound. Raphaël Barontini conjures a carnivalesque memoryscape, while Raquel Buj redefines design through visionary purpose. Diana Orving sculpts motion from fabric, giving shape to the intangible dance of thought and textile. In our fashion stories Back to Elegance, Brise, and Anthropocene, —each chapter is graced by eco-conscious luxury brands shaping the future of refinement.

As if it were a fable, we travel to the heart of the Macizo Colombiano, where the voices of ancestors whisper through the wind and hope is cultivated by those who remain rooted in resilience.

This issue is more than a collection of stories —it is an invocation to reconnect with the earth’s rhythms and co-create a world where sustainability becomes the truest form of beauty.

From Steppes to Streets: The Rise of Central Asian Fashion in London

luxiders — Sun, 25 May 2025 15:52:52 +0000

A subtle yet significant shift is underway in London’s fashion circles, where Central Asian design is beginning to make its presence felt. With bold colours, intricate textiles, and centuries-old craftsmanship, designers from the region are bringing a fresh perspective to the capital — one rooted in cultural heritage but firmly tuned to contemporary style.

From Tashkent to Bishkek, a growing number of creatives are channelling the visual language of their homelands into garments that resonate with today’s fashion-forward audience. In London, their influence is increasingly visible — from pop-up exhibitions in Shoreditch to curated racks in independent boutiques. The appeal lies in the blend: traditional silhouettes and handwork paired with a modern sense of ease and wearability.

This rising interest is being driven in part by London’s Central Asian diaspora, who are seeking ways to reconnect with their roots through fashion. It also aligns with broader shifts in the industry — toward ethical production, modest dressing, and underrepresented narratives.

Tashkent-based designer Kamola Rustamova exemplifies this crossover. Her label, Azukar Moreno, merges Uzbek craftsmanship with elements of Spanish costume — think ikat fabrics reworked into flamenco-inspired dresses, or embroidered jackets with dramatic, structured sleeves. The result is a collection that feels both global and deeply personal.
Speaking from her studio in Uzbekistan, Rustamova recalls a London client who once told her: “I’ve never worn something this bright in my life.” It’s a comment she often hears — and one that reflects the distinctiveness of her designs. Her work has found a strong following among the Uzbek community in London, offering not only a connection to cultural memory, but also a bold, expressive alternative to more mainstream styles.

“There’s something empowering in wearing your culture — especially when it’s reimagined for today,” says Rustamova.

Baku-based fashion designer Natavan Aliyeva shares a similar perspective. She agrees that the growing interest in Central Asian fashion stems from more than aesthetics — it’s about cultural connection. “There’s something heartwarming about these motifs,” she says, pointing to the way traditional patterns often reflect the region’s vivid natural landscapes and deep artistic heritage.

Aliyeva believes the emotional pull of these designs is just as powerful as their visual impact. “There’s a cocoon-type feeling — a sense of comfort and protection — in their simplicity,” she explains. It’s a tactile and psychological experience, she adds, as the natural fabrics and familiar shapes offer not just style, but a quiet reassurance.

Preserving these traditions is central to Aliyeva’s work and one of the key reasons she entered fashion in the first place. “Our roots are a source of strength and pride,” she says. “They tell the story of who we are.”

According to Kyrgyz-born fashion designer Tolgonai Baira, the humble chapan has found admirers even within Britain’s most exclusive circles.

“Even people closer to the Royal Family ordered chapans from us,” Baira revealed. Based in Kyrgyzstan, her atelier continues to attract attention from diplomatic circles and international clients, with a steady stream of bespoke orders keeping the centuries-old garment in high demand.

As London’s fashion scene continues to evolve, voices like hers are helping expand the narrative. Central Asian fashion may still be emerging — but it’s doing so with confidence, colour, and unmistakable character. Baira’s relationship with the UK is more than commercial — it’s personal. “I briefly studied in London in 1999,” she recalled. “London left a mark in my heart.” Her time in the British capital not only exposed her to Western aesthetics but also deepened her appreciation for the cultural exchange that fashion allows.

Yet, the designer believes the Western-inspired phase of fashion may have reached its creative limits. “This fashion cycle exhausted itself because designs were primarily inspired by European fashion trends,” she said. Now, she sees a new wave rising — one rooted in the bold colours, intricate patterns, and historical richness of Central Asian design.

“That’s why the focus is on Central Asian countries,” Baira explained. “There’s a lot of new things coming up.” Indeed, across cities like Bishkek, Almaty, and Tashkent, a new generation of designers is reinterpreting heritage wear for global runways — and British wardrobes.

For Londoners seeking something with both elegance and story, the chapan and the atlas may just be this season’s most meaningful fashion statement.

Magic Of Presence And Pause: Interview With Julia Allert

luxiders — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 08:24:25 +0000

Following the launch of the Moldovan fashion brand’s latest season; Julia Allert shares her journey, vision and upcoming steps with Luxiders Magazine in an exclusive interview.

It was late-March when Moldovan Brands Runway introduced its Spring Summer 2025 edition right at the heart of Moldovan capital, Chišinau and the hype is still here. Happening twice every year, MBR portrays one-of-a-kind paradigm in the Eastern European Fashion scene by both unveiling the new collections of regional designers, including culturally neighboring countries of Moldova such as Ukraine and Armenia, and by presenting a narrative built on the fusion between innovation and tradition.

For a noticeable period, almost every industry professional has been keeping an eye on a recent phenomenon evolving in the world of fashion – the refunctionalizing of the stereotypes in the industry. Before the 2020s, fashion used to be followed and studied under the developments and news coming from the so-called fashion capitals like Paris, Milan, London and New York City. Yet the meteoric rise of Copenhagen Fashion Week specifically through the flamboyant street style became a game-changer; now followed by the avant-garde silhouettes of Berlin going viral among the Generation Z, and respectfully, the time-travelling designs emerging from the Eastern European fashion scene. A journey of inclusivity, therefore, can be easily observed in the influencing regions of fashion as much as it is seen through the industry practices.

Time-travelling is the key concept here, when diving deep into the roots of Moldovan fashion: Unlike the previous attempts to integrate with the hegemonic Western European and Northern American fashion codes, Moldovan designers get empowered by their truly unique heritage in garments and create significant patterns, primarily laces and knitting, into their modern review of style. This is a vital point when keeping the track of fashion rising from Eastern Europe into the realm of global fashion consumption; not only because it is an ode to the traditional and generational fashion creativity and craftsmanship, but also by including sustainable and inclusive practices in the global scene.

Julia Allert, with its opening show of MBR, naturally positions itself under the spotlight exactly in parallel with this journey of fashion: Founded in 2005, the namesake brand of the designer has been redefining the elegant intersection of tradition and modernity for the last two decades. Staying loyal to the heritage through details of fringe, lace, and ruffles; Allert brings the elements of contemporary fashion through drapes and innovative material use. Considering the unique formula rooted deeply in the brand’s identity, it is no surprise that Julia Allert became a competitor of global brands on several e-commerce platforms around the world, and still stayed responsible to sustainable practices and values. It was no other than the brand introducing vegan leather and eco-conscious materials, or inclusive size options like 4XL that celebrate different body types into the mainstream Moldovan fashion scene. Allert is talented, and undeniably successful; but her loyalty to the ethical values when running a globally-acknowledged fashion line makes it even more meaningful to all.

To unveil the creative process of Julia Allert, we had a conversation with the designer and dived deep into the brand’s latest collection Shadows of Eternity, complemented by Allert’s approach to sustainability and being a successful woman in the fashion industry.

INTERVIEW WITH DESIGNER JULIA ALLERT

Congratulations on your last collection! Shadows of Eternity, freshly unveiled as the opening show of the Moldovan Brands Runway. Could you tell us what were the main inspirations and muses creating these pieces?

‘Shadows of Eternity’ is a reflection on time — how silhouettes, shadows, and emotions leave traces within us. The inspiration came from historical architecture, theatrical scenography, sculpture, and silence itself — those rare moments when form begins to speak without words. This collection is about presence and pause, about letting the garment create its own gravity on the body.

While every collection of Julia Allert portrays authenticity by themself, still, there are established brand codes that one can acknowledge throughout the journey of your brand –for instance, your signature corsets. To you, who is the woman that wears Jullia Alert? What kind of a woman do you manifest of, during your design process?

The Julia Allert woman is intelligent, intentional, and emotionally powerful. She doesn’t dress to impress — she dresses to express. I imagine a woman who chooses meaning over noise, who understands the value of structure, stillness, and subtle drama. She’s independent, reflective, and always in movement — not necessarily loud, but impossible to ignore.

It is easily observed that Julia Allert maintains a strong brand identity, and catches noticeable attention both in and outside Moldova. In addition, the brand’s success is quite prominent. We’d like to ask about the journey you took here; what is the story behind the brand’s foundation, and the milestones you processed walking towards global success?

I started the brand in a country without a fashion infrastructure. Everything had to be built from the ground up — production, team, trust. One of the turning points was realizing that my pieces were starting to ‘speak’ abroad — across language and culture, through form and idea. Today, Julia Allert is sold in different countries, but what matters most to me is staying true to my vision and maintaining depth, even as we grow.

During Moldovan Brands Runway SS25, not only have we learned Julia Allert is an extremely successful brand in terms of e-commerce strategies; but it also is a pioneer in sustainable and body-inclusive fashion practices in Moldova. Could you tell us about how Julia Allert perceives sustainability and how does she apply it to her brand?

For me, sustainability is not a trend — it’s a responsibility. We use deadstock fabrics, off-cut pieces from our own production, and focus on timeless silhouettes that resist seasonal turnover. Our production is local and ethical, with fair treatment and full respect for every person involved. We encourage conscious buying and design garments meant to be worn for years, not months. Emotional sustainability is just as important — clothes with meaning are rarely thrown away.

As a designer from Eastern Europe, what changes do you think that we need in the world of fashion, especially for designers from the emerging fashion cities like Chišinau?

We need better access to visibility — platforms that allow new voices to be heard, without needing to relocate to fashion capitals. There’s so much creativity in cities like Chisinau, but the lack of infrastructure and international attention can be discouraging. I believe in a future where innovation is valued over geography, and where authenticity from the periphery reshapes the center.

ABOUT INEQUALITY AND STEREOTYPES

In a world that gender inequality is unfortunately still relevant; how would you define being a successful woman in such a competitive industry like fashion? What are your experiences as a woman designer; the obstacles you do face, the shifts in the industry you expect, and recommendations to women who want to be successful in fashion?

Being a successful woman in fashion means building without compromising your values. It means staying sensitive in a competitive world and protecting your inner voice. I’ve faced pressure to fit into predefined molds — to be more commercial, more convenient. But true success, to me, is when you’re able to lead without losing yourself.

Another thing we have realized during the latest Julia Allert show was that the brand is not only a perfect review of a contemporary, fashionable woman stereotype; but it also is a perfect narrative of your personal style. Can you share how your style influences the design process, and of course, how would you summarize your personal style in a few words?

My personal style is quiet, structured, and emotionally layered. I love the contrast between softness and strength, between movement and stillness. That’s what guides my hand when I design. I never follow trends — I follow feelings. Julia Allert is an extension of that inner world.

As mentioned, it is known that you are not only a stimulating designer, but also a very successful businesswoman. In the days of success usually equating to non-ethical practices; how do you stay ethical and successful at the same time, and what would you recommend to those who want to follow your path?

You stay ethical by making every decision count. By choosing quality over quantity. People over speed. Success built slowly and mindfully is much more powerful than quick wins. I focus on long-term relationships — with clients, with my team, with materials. That is the success I believe in.

We know it is quite an early question now to ask –but still curious about what will be the next destination for Julia Allert. Would you like to share some hints about the upcoming collection, if already started, and business plans with the Luxiders readers?

We’ve started developing the next collection — it explores intimacy, gesture, and emotional tactility. In terms of business, we’re focusing on new digital tools and curated offline moments that bring the audience closer to the meaning behind the pieces. We’re not just expanding — we’re deepening.

Lastly, we would like to know if there is a message or story that you carry and seek to deliver through the garments of Julia Allert. What is that message you believe in, and the story you want to share with those who come across the beautiful pieces of Julia Allert?

The message is simple: fashion can hold meaning. Clothing can speak. Every line, every silhouette in Julia Allert carries intention. It’s not just about what you wear — it’s about what it says about how you see the world. This brand is for those who want to feel something deeper through form.
