CNN —There are two rather different perceptions of the Balearic island of Ibiza near Spain. “Today, (Ibizan style) still persists and is absolutely recognizable anywhere in the world.”Fashion brand Reformation dedicated their latest summer collection to Ibiza. ReformationAs well as on-island boutiques such as Annie’s Ibiza and Vicente Ganesha, Ibiza style is celebrated by Loewe’s creative director Jonathan Anderson, who grew up vacationing in Ibiza, and since 2017, has spearheaded a high end collaboration between the luxury house and another legendary local institution Paula’s boutique. “When the pandemic happened, there was a chance to reframe what Ibiza was about: slow travel, wellness and mindfulness,” Fonner said. “I don’t really think (Ibiza) has gained popularity in recent years; I believe it has always been popular artistically,” she said.

From Miu Miu to Mugler, the nine-day calendar is filled to the brim with storied luxury houses, which will no doubt draw a slew of stars into the city.

McGirr, who follows the houses’ tradition of being a Central Saint Martins alumni, previously oversaw ready-to-wear at landmark British brand JW Anderson.

REUTERS/Sarah MeyssonnierPARIS, March 3 (Reuters) - Giambattista Valli switched things up for his fall runway show at Paris Fashion Week, taking a step back from his signature, airy floral styles to focus on tweeds, which he also offered for men. The show opened with a black, sleeveless jumpsuit cinched at the waist with a gold belt, and worn over a white t-shirt. Further shaking the fabric from its traditional twin-set role, Valli worked the material into long overcoats, loose jackets, mini-dresses and a bright, red jumpsuit. Popular with the red carpet set, and known for voluminous, tulle dresses, Valli broadened his fan base with a collaboration with H&M in 2019.

☆ Goldman Sachs insiders say they are concerned about CEO David Solomon's push to build his personal brand, pointing to staff help for his DJing and use of the firm's planes
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-21 | by ( Dakin Campbell | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +15 min

As David Solomon, Goldman Sachs' CEO, was wrapping up a work trip in late July, he boarded the company's Gulfstream G650 for Chicago. His personal account cites his role as Goldman Sachs' CEO, while his official Goldman Sachs account links to his personal account. As CEO, Solomon has overseen the firm's first investor day, launched a strategic update, and reaped record revenue of $59.3 billion in 2021. The Goldman representative disputed that characterization, saying the number of executive TV appearances has more than doubled over the past year. A Goldman representative said that Payback is run by music-industry consultants and that no Goldman Sachs resources are used for the platform.
