SYDNEY’S SHOPPABLE RUNWAY

LVMH EMBRACES YOUNG DESIGNERS

Connectivity is key when it comes to
brands and their consumers, and IMG is
going to improve that with MercedesBenz Fashion Week Australia in April.
Delivering runway products within 8-10
weeks of their runway debut, the
platform slashes the historic six months
it takes for runway looks to hit the
street. FASHIONISTA

A competition juried by some of the top
names in the industry, and a grant of
€300,000 are just two of the perks of
LVMH’s Young Fashion Designer Prize.
The only requirements? You must be
under 40 years old and have produced
two womenswear, or menswear,
collections. LVMH

CALLING ALL TRAVELERS
You’ve been pinning travel
ideas for years, but that
was just inspiring photos.
Recognizing the travel
inspiration dominating pin
boards across the site,
Pinterest introduced the
Place Pin and Place Boards
to take your “Pinspiration”
all the way to travel
reality. PINTEREST

A DRIVE-THROUGH HOLIDAY
London-based Selfridges is introducing
the world to waitless luxury shopping.
The system is similar to in-store pickup,

with the exception that you never leave
your car. By scheduling a pickup time,
attendants bring your order to your car,
allowing you to avoid the holiday lines.
