contemporary art. The collaboration is a good reference to gallerist Monsieur Dior, who was a gallerist before becoming a couturier. The artist's Tanilla monster gives this capsule collection a fresh and fun energy," Jones said in a statement.

The motif also appears on Dior's signature patterned denim shirt and sweaters in burgundy and pink. The monster is paired with a stylized adaptation of the Dior logo on items such as a baseball cap, hoodie and bag.

Since becoming artistic director of Dior's menswear collections in 2018, Jones has fostered a thriving interaction between fashion and art through regular collaborations with artists, but in 2021 he has changed his tactics to''expand collaborations with cultural institutions and other designers.

He has worked with leading artists including Kohs, Daniel Arsham, Kenny Scharf, Hajime Sorayama and Peter Doig, with whom he has presented a series of skiwear collections since their initial collaboration in 2021. - Joel Diederich

What's interesting is that consumers can customize the digital collectible copy by personalizing it with different colors and releasing it on the Polygon blockchain network, which is a sustainable and environmentally focused network. The backbone is the Space Runner AI, which has been trained to style Kai's clouds.

This approach has obvious advantages, as sneaker fans generally love individuality. On one level, it's a creative opportunity for these consumers. But it also works on a brand level because both the physical and digital versions''position Balman's "Unicorn" as a work of art.

Balman hopes the inspiration doesn't end here. According to the press release, "This avant-garde partnership goes beyond mere collaboration; it serves as a blueprint for future premium brands seeking authenticity and originality. Space Runners' innovative outfit tool enriches the customization experience by inviting fashion enthusiasts into an interactive design space without limits. "

This initiative is not the first for Balmain's partnership with Space Runners or the first digital initiative for the Unicorn sneaker. The fashion house and tech company teamed up earlier this year to create a Unicorn capsule collection featuring physical''Paris.

Originally known as FC2 Events, WMH Project, an acronym for "We Do It," has grown over the past five years through a series of deals designed to strengthen the group's position in four core areas: corporate and institutional events, public relations, spatial design and incentives and business travel.

Bande, who becomes vice president of WMH Project's new art, fashion and luxury division, told WWD that the deal will allow him to develop Petit Ami, with plans to open a branch inMilan by the end of 2024.

He hopes to capitalize on WMH Project's existing activities and its relationships with clients such as luxury group LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton to quickly double its 20-person team, which''split between creative and production functions.

Petit Ami has clearly demonstrated itself in 2022, counting €6.7 million in revenue, compared to €145 million for WMH Project, which employs more than 300 people in France and Belgium.

"The alliance with Petit Ami will allow us to meet the diverse needs of WMH Project's clients in the luxury, fashion, arts and culture sectors," said WMH Project co-founders Marc Fischer and Frank Schaud.
