Leon Emanuel Blanck Presented by Elixir Gallery

Events, Fashion

Last week, Elixir [Timeless] Gallery, located on the Greek island of Mykonos, held an event with the German designer Leon Emanuel Blanck. In addition to the anatomically constructed menswear that Blanck is known for, it was the first ever presentation of Blanck’s womenswear collection. The event also featured an art installation by the designer that highlighted his unique pattern-making process. Elixir now boasts the most comprehensive collection of Blanc’s work for men and women. Please find our photo reportage from the event below.

Byronesque Brings Vintage Raf Simons, Helmut Lang, and Martin Margiela to Opening Ceremony

Fashion, Retail

The curated vintage website Byronesque, run by Gill Linton, has landed at Opening Ceremony in New York. It is the first time that Byronesque presents menswear, capitalizing on the hot market for vintage Raf Simons and Helmut Lang. The pop-up store also includes some pieces from the short-lived cult London brand Vexed Generation, and a dedicated to room to Margiela’s iconic womenswear pieces. But Linton’s venture is not just about commerce – she sources what she loves, so we don’t expect her hawking vintage Hermes bags any time soon. “I was very careful not to have any filler here,” Linton told us when we visited the space yesterday. The pop-up will go on until July 23rd with stock replenished as rack space allows.
