The Year of Pivotal Acquisitions
After coach-owned Tapestry announced that it was acquiring Capri Holdings, the Q4 fiscal year saw earnings fall short of expectations. The acquisition was initially intended to create a new fashion conglomerate to rival that of Kering and LVMH. According to Hypebeast, Tapestry reported sales of US $1.62 billion dollars, down from last year’s US $1.625 billion dollars and even further behind Wall Street’s estimate of US $1.653 billion dollars.
The Return of the 90s Supermodel
The famed foursome comprised of Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington reunited once again to front the joint British and American September 2023 Vogue covers.

This comes over two decades after Peter Lindbergh’s January 1990 cover of British Vogue which is perhaps one of the most prolific editorial and fashion magazine covers of all time. The 1990 cover also featured the late Tatjana Patitz who xx

Alongside the cover of Vogue, 90s supermodels have also made a resurgence by becoming the ambassadors of multiple luxury brands. Naomi Campbell is the face of Boss’ Fall/Winter 2023 Campaign, Cindy Crawford fronts MCM’s Autumn/Winter 2023 campaign while Kate Moss is currently featured on both Diet Coke and Saint Laurent’s Fall 2023 campaigns. Last year also saw Linda Evangelista face the Fendi Baguette Winter 2022 Campaign while Kate Moss posed for Aigner’s Fall/Winter 2022 campaign. Take Kate Moss for instance, to continously front a luxury campaign year after year is but a testament to her staying power and legacy even with a large brand like Coke (regardless of the “luxury” appeal).

The Diet Coke Break Collection By Kate Moss features four limited-editions designs, inspired by Diet Coke’s archives, reimagined and rewritten by Kate Moss.

So why now you may ask? While Gen Z are enamoured the Y2K fashion trends of the early 2000s (a “style” that Millennials are all to familiar with having grown up during the era) Gen Xers are seemingly left out as brands shift their aim to the burgeoning market of younger, Gen Z consumers at times alienating the Gen X demographic. That where nostalgia comes into play. Staple faces parents of millenials grew up with like Moss or Crawford connect a relevancy in the generation and cater to the nostalgia.
