Global Montblanc Ambassador Charlotte Casiraghi, actors Pierre Niney, Adrien Brody and Billy Porter join Montblanc for a special celebration introducing new (MONTBLANC M)RED writing instruments and luggage Guests including Montblanc’s Ambassador Charlotte Casiraghi, Adrien Brody, Billy Porter, Pierre Niney, Georgia May Jagger, Lottie Moss, Amber Lebon, Josh Dylan, Anna Brewster, Toby Regbo, Isaac Carew and Kevin Mayer, came to show their support, using their collective voices to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and inviting others to turn words into action in order to lift the stigma of HIV, save lives and end a global epidemic. Through its partnership with (RED) which launched in 2018 with (MONTBLANC M)RED line specially designed by Marc Newson, Montblanc gives customers an opportunity to make a tangible impact with every purchase of a (MONTBLANC M)RED product. For every (MONTBLANC M)RED writing instrument, luggage or accessory purchased, 5 Euros goes to the Global Fund to support HIV/AIDS programmes, which is enough to provide over 25 days of life-saving HIV medication. Following the boutique event, guests gathered for the second part of the celebrations at the iconic Monsieur Bleu which was renamed Monsieur (RED) in honour of the partnership. Just like the boutiques, it was turned red with specially designed (RED)-inspired artwork for one night only. Following dinner and cocktails, guests enjoyed a set by Martin2Smoove, one of the world’s most in-demand DJs. The launch of the expanded (Montblanc)RED collection took place just one day before sixth Global Fund Replenishment conference in Lyon, France hosted by President Emmanuel Macron, bringing together governments, corporations, NGOs and private donors to pledge financial support for the fight to end AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, with the goal of securing USD $14 billion in order to save 16 million lives over the coming three years. |

LI-NING Spring/Summer 2020
Ping-Pong
Joy in a Classical Chinese Sport
Li-Ning, the great icon of Chinese athletics, finds the inspiration for its latest collection in ping-pong—the timeless sport in which China holds a decades-long interest and passion, as well as a heritage of unmatched Olympic success. Regarded simply as a leisurely summer pastime in the West, table tennis, the Chinese national sport, commands a fervor greater than basketball, baseball, or soccer. For Spring/Summer 2020, Li-Ning delivers a collection of apparel, footwear, and accessories that pays tribute to ping-pong and elevates both of its understandings: the fun, uncomplicated activity as well as the high-stakes, high-tech Olympic sport that has the most participants of any in the world—and one in which China has won 28 of 32 Olympic gold medals since its introduction in 1988.
The simple ping-pong polo informed the design direction of the entire collection, which offers easy shapes and voluminous silhouettes cut away from the body—effortless Li-Ning signatures. In achieving and perfecting this airy look, Li-Ning pioneered a set of new, ultra-lightweight fabrics, which comprised everything from coats and shirts to pants, shorts, and accessories. In its styling and colorways, the collection fused nostalgia and futurism to create a new look rooted firmly in the now.
Male models strode the runway in deconstructed, zip-away Mackintosh coats trimmed in contrasting piping and affixed with patches. They layered their paperweight anoraks in contrasting tones of khaki and yellow. And they wore infinite iterations of the oversize polo—short or long-sleeved, striped, patterned, patched, piped, open V-neck, or zip-neck with vintage-inspired circular pulls. The breezy look carried through to the women’s range: females wore long tennis dresses darted with contrast stitching, as well as zip-away track coats and waisted track dresses. And for all genders, Li-Ning reimagined its signature garment—the track suit—in a wild range of colors, materials, and techniques, each of them at home on the ping-pong courts of yesterday or today.
Across all apparel, Li-Ning made strong use of vintage-inspired graphics including repeating paddle prints, abstract collages, comic book sketches, and the critical number 11, which was assigned to Mr. Li during the 1984 Summer Olympics.
In footwear, Li-Ning boldly stepped into the decade with progressive silhouettes and fearless iterations of its classic styles. New this season, the sporty, comfortable, lace-up 001 OG is a modern interpretation of the first shoe Li-Ning designed and released in 1990. The lo-top Wave Vintage and the hi-top, Vibram-soled Wave Boot reimagine the classic Li-Ning court shoe for today, making use of innovative materials and electric colorways. The basketball-inspired 2020 Ace Low is a lo-top iteration of a fearless silhouette introduced last Fall; its evolution retains the same signature material textures and iconic multi-pod outsole. Finally, the wild Kuafa runner debuted with clashing colorways and an exaggerated, architectural heel detail—a testament to the creativity of Li-Ning.
Presenting for the second time at Paris Men’s Fashion Week, Li-Ning this season constructed an original show space inside the Lycée Turgot. Within the custom set, graphics from the collection adorned the hyper-color, multi-layer walls; a vast mirror-ball hung from the ceiling; and seating followed a maze-like format. Models walked the labyrinth to an eclectic soundtrack of obscure Chinese tracks, ’90s hip hop, and abstract Jazz, revealing the collection to a front-row crowd that included world champion skier Eileen Gu, Chinese performer Ayunga, singer Can Chengyu, and Lucas Jagger, as well as Mr. Li-Ning himself, who took in the show alongside his daughter Xiaoyan.
The show kicked off with the powerful debut of the Li-Ning’s first collaboration with Stefano Pilati and his progressive, Berlin-based contemporary label, Random Identities. Lights cut out and an army of models dressed all in black descended upon the show space wearing Pilati’s reinterpretation of Li-Ning’s Aurora 2019: a lo-top trail running night boot in triple black with a built-in LED light that functions at three settings (on, strobe, and intermittent strobe). As their feet flickered, the models carried black flags as a symbol of the cultural connections Li-Ning has made globally since its first fashion presentation in early 2018.
Of the collaboration, brand founder Stefano Pilati said: "Random Identities is a brand affirming equality intrinsically—creating synergies, learning processes, exchanging cultures, and, ultimately, shaping identities. I was introduced to Li-Ning in 2017, and I've enjoyed an extended period of observation, interaction, and an open exploration of possibilities. I discovered several styles—all of them unknown in the Western market—that I would find joy in adapting or re-styling through the Random Identities lens. The Aurora 2019 was our chosen style, and thanks to the openness and trust of the Li-Ning team, I can say I am very proud of the results. I am equally satisfied with our creative dialogue and working relationship. Which means this could be considered the beginning of something more."
2020 also marks Li-Ning‘s 30 year anniversary. In its first three decades, the brand has been driven by the limitlessness of the human body, while being rooted in and celebrating Chinese pride. Both of these recurring themes are evident in the Spring/Summer 2020 collection’s focus on table tennis, a sport in which the Chinese uniquely excel. “Each season at Li-Ning, we lead with imagination and innovation,” said founder Mr. Li. “At the same time, we see Li-Ning as a platform on which we can expose the world to facets of our culture. Ping-pong is our thrilling, fast-paced, energetic national sport, and we are so proud of our national teams’ achievements on the global stage. This collection is presented in tribute to this beautiful game.”
After a successful introduction in its home country at retailers like Lane Crawford, Li-Ning’s elevated runway collection, now in its fourth season, continues to expand its global distribution at a range of high-end retailers and specialty sneaker boutiques. Select stockists include: KITH, SSENSE, LN-CC, Slam Jam, END Clothing, Oki-Ni, Selfridges, and END Clothing to name only a few.

The Future of Heritage
Chinese sports brand LI-NING debuts at Paris Fashion Week
For its Paris Fashion Week debut, the Chinese sports icon Li-Ning reflects on the historic achievements of its founder and namesake, the legendary Olympic gymnast Li Ning. His personal story—a focal point of the brand’s heritage—unfolds across apparel and footwear that references the graphics and aesthetic language of Mr. Li’s heyday. Yet the result is progressive and contemporary with oversize proportions, advanced fabrics, street-inspired silhouettes, and clashing colorways. For Spring/Summer 2019, the collection centers around the moment that Mr. Li won six out of seven gold medals at the Sixth World Cup Gymnastic Competition in 1982, which instantly transformed him into a Chinese national hero and earned him the nickname, “the Prince of Gymnastics.” Two years later, in 1984, he became the most honored athlete at the Summer Olympic Games, winning three gold medals, two silver, and one bronze. This origin tale is the foundation of the collection, which features alternative athletic-wear like asymmetric tops and cropped sweats, often emblazoned with slogans like “Leaning on Li-Ning” and “The Legend Begins” in Chinese and English. Established in 1990, Li-Ning is driven by the unlimited potential of the human body. “Our brand carries the genes of an athlete,” he says. Its founding mission, as described by Mr. Li, was, very simply, to provide Chinese athletes with national brands to wear as they took the global stage of the Olympics—historically one of the West’s rare portals into Chinese culture.

- Zoe Cassavetes hace una crítica a la industria estadounidense y a su trato a las mujeres, valorando a los marginados por el negocio del cine
“Hollywood está lleno de sueños, pero es un lugar donde la perfección se ha de cumplir para tener éxito”. Con esta frase, la directora Zoe Cassavetes resumió el contenido de su más reciente película, que abrió la pasada edición del Festival de Cine Indie F.A.M.E en París.
La hija del legendario John Cassavetes dirigió en 2015 Días sin llamado, que figura dentro de la segunda edición de Talento Emergente. Junto con Alexia Landeu, actriz protagonista de este drama, también se encargó de escribir el guión. El filme podrá apreciarse en la Cineteca Nacional del 27 de septiembre al 2 de octubre.
Mia Roarke, una reconocida actriz de su época, lucha por mantener la cordura y la dignidad en la pista de obstáculos llamada Hollywood. A sus 40 años ya ha tenido su momento de fama y ahora lucha para volver a ser lo que era antes. No puede descansar y en este negocio asfixiante ella misma es su peor enemiga. Una serie de eventos extraños y humillantes le dan la oportunidad de ser nuevamente el centro de atención, pero ¿cuál será el costo?
Escrito en 20 días y filmado en tan sólo 16, el segundo largometraje de Zoe Cassavetes es una potente crítica a Hollywood y a su trato a las mujeres, así como un intento de explorar la humanidad de los marginados por el negocio cinematográfico. Como lo hiciera su padre, la realizadora también se decanta aquí por explorar el universo femenino.
En entrevista para Film Courage, la directora señaló que la película la puede ver cualquiera y cada quien puede encontrar su propia relación: “Al final el mundo tendrá que generarse su propia opinión sobre el tema. Esta no es la historia de un hombre valorando quién eres, sino de una mujer luchando por un camino de verdad. Creo que es importante seguir la vida de uno mismo, con altas y bajas, escuchar historias humanas y relacionarlas contigo”.
Las situaciones casi parecen ser parodias, pero cualquier persona con un conocimiento superficial de las realidades de Hollywood sabe que son demasiado ciertas para ser divertidas. Días sin llamado, nombre de la cinta en español, es una potente crítica al tratamiento de Hollywood con las mujeres.
En ese sentido, Katie Walsh, en su crítica para IndieWire, apuntó que la interpretación de Alexia Landieu fue muy acertada por brindarle peso al personaje de Mia. "A pesar de las pruebas y las indignidades, ella nunca es tratada sin humanidad, y ultimadamente eso es un tema importante en la película: Mia es sólo una persona tratando de sobrellevar el día, como todos nosotros", escribió.
Zoe Rowlands Cassavetes nació en Los Ángeles en 1970. Ha actuado en películas de Peter Bogdanovich y, junto a la cineasta Sofia Coppola, creó un programa televisivo llamado Hi Octane. Es co-creadora del canal de televisión Comedy Central. Debutó como directora en el Festival de Cine de Sundance con el cortometraje Men make women crazy theory(2000) y su ópera prima fue Broken english (2007), en donde contó con las labores histriónicas de su madre, la icónica Gena Rowlands.
