Acute Art announces the worldwide launch of a new type of artwork by KAWS, one of today’s most celebrated artists. His augmented reality (AR) works create new ways to own, trade, and live with art via the Acute Art app.
In collaboration with Acute Art, KAWS has produced EXPANDED HOLIDAY, which will demonstrate the enormous potential of AR and convey a sense of mischievous humor through the juxtaposition of physical and virtual worlds.
COMPANION (EXPANDED), 12 monumental AR sculptures, forms a global public exhibition that will be made available for audiences in major cities and locations in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Middle East, North America, and South America.
Using cutting-edge technology, this project represents a new exhibition model that reduces transportation and travel for a global artworld. The exhibition will run for two weeks, from the 12th March until the 26th March.
COMPANION (EXPANDED), an edition of 25 AR sculptures (1.8 m), is available to acquire via the Acute Art website. Owners will be able to place, capture, and document these AR works at different locations using the Acute Art app. Owners can keep the AR sculptures private or make them publicly available for anyone who has downloaded the app.
AT THIS TIME (EXPANDED), an open edition, consists of AR sculptures (45 cm) in three colorways for time- based acquisition, available via the Acute Art app. Audiences can keep the sculptures for a limited time period and share their experiences through social media.

设计师Thom Browne近日为美国奢侈百货Nordstrom打造了一组胶囊系列，展示了其对“运动美学”的理解。这也是Nordstrom“New Concepts”系列合作的第九个男装品牌，因此该系列也被命名为“Concept 009”。
Nordstrom设计师成衣及新概念部门副总裁Sam Lobban表示，每次发布新的合作系列时，都可以了解更多有关男装客户的信息。这次与Thom Browne的合作，也让Lobban发现，“制服”的概念在消费者眼中是如何发展的，并将传统和非传统剪裁相结合的概念引入到更广泛的客群中。
据悉，Concept 009系列以大学生运动精神和成就为灵感，应用了Thom Browne标志性的红、白、蓝三色，有紧身西服、衬衫、运动服饰、皮革飞行员夹克，以及包袋、钱包、钥匙链、瑜伽垫、手机壳等。线下快闪店则为消费者打造了一个更衣室的场景，以灰色为主色调。
该系列将于5月3日在Nordstrom官网及指定线下门店正式发售，售价从80美元至1,790美元不等。
Thom Browne is teaming up with Nordstrom’s ‘New Concept’ initiative to launch a capsule collection in celebration of menswear offering his signature “athletic aesthetics”.
“We have learned more about our menswear customer with each New Concept launch. What we are excited to discover with Thom Browne is how the concept of “suiting” continues to evolve in the eyes of consumers,” explained Lobban in a statement.
“We have seen so many iterations of it on the runway and now we’re bringing a concept that combines traditional as well as unconventional tailoring to our broader customer base.”
The Concept 009 collection features thirty exclusive Thom Browne styles ranging from ready-to-wear, accessories and lifestyle pieces, which have been designed to be worn together or as individual statement pieces and showcase Browne’s tailored point of view to classic American sportswear, described by the retailer as an “upscale-active collection”.
“The capsule was inspired by the spirit and achievement of the varsity athlete. The environment for in-store experiences was built upon the idea of the classic collegiate locker room. With this capsule we are celebrating the sense of spirit in university athletics. True university inspiration in shades of grey and red, white, and blue, a uniform, for everyone.”
To showcase the collection, New Concepts pop-up has been converted into a locker room.
The exclusive collection will be available through May 3 at Nordstrom.com/NewConcepts, Nordstrom Men’s Store NYC, Nordstrom Downtown Seattle, Nordstrom at The Grove in Los Angeles, Nordstrom Aventura Mall in Miami, Nordstrom South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, Calif., Nordstrom Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Nordstrom NorthPark Center in Dallas and Nordstrom Pacific Centre in Vancouver, B.C.
L’Oréal Launches Sweeping Program to Combat COVID-19
欧莱雅集团发布新计划应对冠状疫情
来源：WWD
美妆巨头欧莱雅集团于近期在欧洲发布了一项全面扶持计划，来帮助缓解冠状疫情蔓延造成的负面影响。
集团于本周三宣布了该计划，内容包括生产及分发大量的洗手液、帮助疫情爆发后受到经济冲击的中小型公司供应商，以及为帮助弱势群体的组织提供资金支持。
集团董事长兼首席执行官Jean-Paul Agon在一份声明中表示，在当前特殊的危机局势下，集团有责任贡献自己的力量。
集团旗下工厂计划大批量生产洗手液，并在接下来的几周内提高生产率，支持法国以及欧洲的卫生部门的防疫工作。此前LVMH集团也宣布，将使用旗下迪奥、纪梵希及娇兰等品牌的香水和化妆品工厂来生产酒精洗手凝胶。
欧莱雅旗下药妆品牌理肤泉将为整个欧洲的医院、疗养院，以及主要合作的药房提供酒精洗手凝胶。目前品牌已经免费为法国的药房提供了自产的洗手凝胶。卡尼尔也将投身洗手凝胶的生产与分发。
集团还将暂停向美发店和香水店等中小型企业的收款，直到他们恢复正常运营为止。针对受影响较大的分销商，集团将缩短付款周期，并建立现金支付结构。
此外，欧莱雅基金会向合作的帮扶弱势群体协会捐款100万欧元。这些协会将获得卫生用品，包括沐浴露和洗发水，以及供社会工作者、志愿者和援助受益人使用的的酒精洗手凝胶。据悉，在疫情期间法国药房也会持续向民众开放。
L’Oréal, the world’s largest beauty producer, has put in place a sweeping solidarity program in Europe to help combat the effects of the coronavirus.
The group announced on Wednesday a plan that involves distributing vast quantities of hand sanitizer; helping suppliers of small and medium-sized companies, which are facing the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, and supporting organizations that help the disadvantaged.
“In this exceptional crisis situation it is our responsibility to contribute in every possible way to the collective effort,” said Jean-Paul Agon, L’Oréal chairman and chief executive officer, in a statement.
L’Oréal’s program includes its factories producing hand sanitizer, a major tool in containing the spread of COVID-19. The production rate will increase greatly in the next few weeks to help support the French and European health authorities.
L’Oréal’s brand La Roche-Posay will also provide hydro-alcoholic gel to hospitals, nursing homes and main partnering pharmacies throughout Europe. The brand is already giving bottles free to French pharmacies that are able to produce such gel in their own facilities.
L’Oréal’s Garnier brand will offer and dispense free to all of its European clients in the food distribution channel millions of units of hand sanitizer, so that their employees can protect themselves.
The group will freeze all of the receivables owed by small and medium-sized businesses, such as hair salons and perfumeries, until their activity resumes.
For its distributors the most exposed, L’Oréal will shorten its payment periods and set up a cash payment structure.
The Fondation L’Oréal is donating 1 million euros to the associations it partners with that help the disadvantaged. Those associations will be offered hygiene kits, including shower gel and shampoo, and hydroalcoholic gel destined for social workers, volunteers and beneficiaries.
Hugo Boss has launched its first vegan suit
Hugo Boss推出“纯素”西装

继发布使用菠萝叶制作的“纯素”鞋子后，BOSS又于近日推出了“纯素”的两件套男士西装。该套装已经过Peta认证，并带有“ Peta认证素食主义”徽标，在整个制作过程中没有使用任何动物来源的材料。
Peta表示，素食主义徽标的目的在于支持品牌发展“动物友好型”时尚，为消费者生产、制造符合道德规范的时尚服饰。
这款套装作为2020春夏系列的一部分释出，使用纯素食材料制成，包括经过认证的有机亚麻，有浅米色、深蓝色、黑色三种选择，售价649欧元。
品牌在本月初表示，冠状病毒的爆发将对2020年的销售额和利润表现产生负面影响。Hugo Boss预计，2020年汇率调整后的销售额涨幅在0％-2％之间；2019年调整后销售额同比增长2%至29亿欧元。
The two-piece BOSS Suit is certified by Peta and features the Peta-Approved Vegan logo. The certification is provided to companies that can provide assurance that no animal-derived materials were used for the final product or during the production process.
Peta said the logo aims to support companies in their journey towards designing cruelty-free fashion and help consumers find fashionable ethically-made clothing.
The design team at Boss only used vegan materials to produce the men’s suit, including certified organic European linen. Launching as part of the Spring Summer collection, the suit will be available in light beige, dark blue and black for 649 euros.
Earlier this month, the fashion brand warned that the coronavirus epidemic will have a negative impact on its sales and profit performance this year. Hugo Boss expects currency-adjusted sales to grow in the range of 0% to 2% during 2020. In 2019, currency-adjusted sales at the company increased by 2% to 2.9 billion euros.
Japan’s Isetan to exit Thailand
日本伊势丹百货计划8月退出泰国市场
来源：Retail in Asia
近日，日本零售商伊势丹三越控股有限公司计划于今年8月31日关闭其在泰国业务；届时，伊势丹百货也将不再与泰国Central Group集团旗下开发商Central Pattana续签租赁协议。具体关闭原因目前暂未透露。
自1992年伊势丹百货进驻泰国至今已有28个年头，选址曼谷的Central World，共有6层；位于商场6层的一些餐厅之后是否继续经营将根据其管理团队自行决定。
Central Pattana的副首席执行官表示，伊势丹的退出将为引进新的日式购物中心铺路。该集团一直致力于更新其购物中心网络，并计划到2024年将其购物中心数目增加至51个。
据《曼谷邮报》报道，新的曼谷购物中心将于2021年7月至9月之间开放。
根据伊势丹最新的财务报表，其泰国业务预计在截至2020年3月的财政年度销售额为42亿日元（3,900万美元），净利润为3,200万日元，与去年同期相比分别下滑10%和60%。
根据Technavio的最新市场研究报告，泰国旅游市场预计将在2019至2023年期间实现近7％的复合年增长率，得益于游客数量的大幅增长，其中大部分游客来自中国，其余包括来自日本、韩国、澳大利亚和印度等国家的游客。
Japanese retailer Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings Ltd. said it plans to exit Thailand, as it looks to close Isetan Bangkok, its 28-year-old department store located in the capital, this coming August.
An Isetan Mitsukoshi official broke the news to local media outlets over the weekend, without disclosing the reason behind the closure.
Located at CentralWorld in Bangkok and covering six floors, the official closing date is set for 31st August, in unison with Isetan Thailand’s contract expiration with landlord, Central Pattana — a developer under the Thai conglomerate Central Group.
Isetan Thailand and its restaurants, located on the sixth floor, may be open or closed after that date, depending on the decisions of their management teams.
The Isetan exit will make way for a new Japanese-style shopping outlet, according to deputy CEO of Central Pattana Plc., the Central Group shopping center developer. The group has been renovating its shopping mall network with plans to increase its malls to 51 by 2024.
The new Bangkok mall will open its doors sometime between July and September in 2021, according to the Bangkok Post.
The six-storey Isetan opened its store at the complex, formerly known as the World Trade Center, in Bangkok in 1992.
According to its most recent financial statement, Isetan Bangkok forecasts sales of 4.2 billion yen ($39 million) and a net profit of 32 million yen for the fiscal year ending March 2020. The expectation is a 10% and 60% decline, respectively, compared to last year.
According to the latest market research report by Technavio, the retail market in Thailand is expected to post a CAGR of close to 7% during the period 2019-2023, boosted by increased tourist numbers with most arrivals coming from China, followed by various other Asian countries, including Japan, South Korea, Australia, and India.
