Founder & history of the brand: Lab to Beauty

American sisters Katherine and Alison Ragusa have set new standards with their brand Lab to Beauty. Vegan, animal-free and purely plant-based, Lab to Beauty is inspired by the “farm-to-table” movement, which puts plants first and makes healthy eating a priority. With a similar mindset, the power duo founded Lab to Beauty as a movement for “Clean Beauty” by making plants a priority in all formulas and putting them first. Thanks to groundbreaking research on cannabis processing methods by a team of highly skilled scientists, botanists, and farmers, Lab to Beauty offers the purest and most effective spa-level CBD skincare. Good for the skin and environmentally conscious, Lab to Beauty products are also Non-GMO, paraben-free, gluten-free, no artificial colors or preservatives, sulfate-free, phthalate-free, fragrance-free and THC-free. Not to be missed: The Green Cure Mask. This face mask for all skin types has quickly become a best seller. It gives the skin an instant freshness boost and an even appearance. In addition to CBD, it is also enriched with matcha extract and French green clay to clarify and soothe the skin. For that extra dose of relaxation, notes of lavender!

Louis Vuitton – A French fashion empire in a class of its own

The initial suitcase company has revolutionized the fashion industry over the past 160 years. From bags to accessories to clothing – there is nothing Louis Vuitton can’t do. The collections are always detail-oriented and include necklaces and hats as well as extravagant shoes and coats. Innovative and progressive are especially the travel bags: The designer Louis Vuitton loved to travel. This is also reflected in the designs – from extravagantly playful to simple and practical, everything is there. Besides the bags Louis Vuitton is also known for his shoes and belts. These are just as exclusive and diverse as the bags.

Classically elegant fashion for the modern woman

The Louis Vuitton team loves femininity. And that is also reflected in the collections. Whether it’s rhinestones, sequins or sparkling silks – Louis Vuittons outfits are always royal, gorgeous and glittering with accessories. Check out the runway highlights here.

Ready-to-wear collection that combines past, future & present

Fashion as a mirror of the present: that was the motto of this fashion show. With 200 choristers in the background, the models thus strutted down the catwalk in contrasting outfits. Dazzling bolleros were combined with casual trousers and futuristic tops were set against sports shorts. Even the looks of the chorus singers can be seen here: They were dressed by none other than the famous costume designer Milena Canonero herself.

Fashion show in Paris: Futuristic fashion inspired by the 80s

For the fashion show in Paris, designer Louis Vuitton’s Ghesquière felt inspired by 1980s fashion. He paired these influences with his enthusiasm for the virtual world. A fashion show of the highest order was born. See what unique creations came out of this clash of the ages here in the video.

Down-to-earth prêt-à-porter with a touch of classic elegance

Spaceship feeling gave at the fashion show 2018 in Paris. Heavy metal chains hung from the models’ necks, gloves were slipped on and bags with patterns from the computer world made frequent appearances. Overall, this collection was more down-to-earth than previous ones: There were plenty of draped shouldernecks and the designer didn’t shy away from leggings this time either.

Exciting men’s collections & fabulous locations

Louis Vuitton has not only established itself in the world of women’s fashion, but also in the world of jackets and suits. Twice a year, Hollywood’s who’s who gather on the front row of fashion shows to marvel at the latest menswear collections. Check out the top videos here.

Romantic & emancipated fashion for men

For the 2018 collection, creative director Virgil Abloh let himself be enchanted by the ‘Wizard of Oz’. The setting was breathtaking and fairytale-like at the same time. Although Abloh was bold with colour here, there were many outfits, especially at the start, that kept a low profile with their traditional cuts and muted colours, leaving plenty of room for creativity. Floral patterns and statement colours of the entire colour spectrum were seen rather later. We are thrilled by the fairytale fashion show all the time.

Revolutionary suits and statement accessories

“Something you haven’t seen from me before: the suit,” Virgil Abloh said before the fashion show in Paris, venturing into uncharted waters for him. The backdrop was surreal with blue skies and fluffy clouds. The silhouettes of the suits were rather slim and traditional. White shirts and bright ties in particular were often seen. The classic men’s suit was redefined six times by Abloh. Watch the video here how.

Youthful & luxurious: street wear redefined

The men’s summer collection was floral. The inspiration here was wildflowers and the individuals who take care of them in the luxury goods houses of this world. This is reflected in a unique fashion line – including romantic floral embroidery, tulle coats and sweaters.

Louis Vuitton worldwide: fashion shows that know no borders

Louis Vuitton is one of the global players in the fashion industry. After Europe, the fashion conquest of Asia and South America followed. Tropical and progressive, it was almost like being on vacation.

Luxury brand that redefines street chic

In 2013, the brand was originally founded under the name PYREX VISION. Later, CEO and designer Virgil Abohl changed the name to Off-White and launched his first collection. His innovative and cool designs were quickly worn in the hottest music videos of the hip hop industry and the brand quickly established itself as a luxury brand. The belt became the must-have of the year and the first store was opened in Tokyo. Later, Hong Kong, London and New York joined the ranks.

Urban clothing and playful cuts for the summer

Off-White is diversified. It stands for haute couture and street style. For young and old. Masculine and feminine. This is exactly what is reflected in the brand’s international fashion shows.

Sporty fashion show with luxurious flair

For the 2019 fashion show, luxury brand Off-White had only the hottest and most exclusive models like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid on the runway. Icons of the sports world were also here as mannequins. No surprise when you remember that the theme here was “Track and Field”.

Boldand casual streetwear with a touch of grunge

Wide waist pants, printed shirts and holes in the shirts. This is how designer Virgil Abloh envisioned fashion for the coming summer in 2017. At the time, the current brand was still considered a newcomer among luxury brands. Watch one of the brand’s first big fashion shows here.

Minimalist prêt-à-porter in the name of the 90s

Again, the outrageously good-looking Hadid sisters were on the catwalk. Georgina Grenville and Audrey Marnay, mannequin greats of the older generation, were also here. In 2020 Virgil Abloh and his team focused on a lot of sheath dresses and weird cuts.

Feminine menage of precious tulle dressesand royal blouses

The inspiration for the 2018 summer collection was none other than people’s favourite and fashion icon Princess Diana. The creative minds at Off-Whites spent months scrutinizing her outfits in order to do justice to her legacy with their new collection. How they succeeded, you can see here in the video.

Diverse and rebellious winter collections

The imagination and inspiration of Virgil Abohl and his team is limitless. And even though each collection always sets new trends, the brand’s designs are still typically Off-White. They are confident and elegant, yet always a little rebellious and bold.

Glamorous chic dresses and confident accessories

Shoulder-emphasizing cuts and smooth leather – this could be found at the Fashion Show 2019 more and more. But also those who are looking for rather fashionable wild outfit combinations will not be disappointed. So satin is quickly mixed with fur and small crystals are glued to gloves as well as handbags. Watch the complete show in the video here.

Innovative fashion show with Instagram-worthy outfits

The 2019 fashion show was inspired by all the advertising and influence of television, according to Virgil Abloh. The rhymes of rap in the background were intimidating, while the accessories chosen were thought-provoking. The brand stayed true to its signature cuts and outfits with its collection.

Muted colors and wide cuts for men

“Tornado Warning” was the name of Off-Whites’ fall/winter collection. While the combination of delicate knitwear and baggy denim enjoyed great popularity, the eyes of most spectators here remained primarily focused on the floor. The new Air Jordan 5 sneakers, Off-Whites’ latest collaboration with Nike, could be seen more often.

Ready-to-wear collection with heavy skirts and innovative jackets

Opposites attract. That was definitely the case here as well. Sometimes Virgil Abohl had his models walk down the runway in princess-like dresses with lots of tull and lace, sometimes in sexy bodycon dresses and heavy work suits. He also didn’t stop at fancy patterns and rhinestones this time.

Behind the scenes of the streetwear giant

Who is Virgil Abohl? How did Off-White actually become Off-White? And what happens behind the scenes during a fashion show? Everything you need to know about the brand, we have summarized here.
