WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2023 Hedi Slimane pleaded his case for skinny pants and rock music with a Celine menswear show at Paris' iconic Palace club. Area is aiming to apply a signature rooted in clothes 'like eye candy' to the lucrative accessories category.

L'Oréal Group is making a concerted effort towards more expensive products. Plus, this week on The BoF Podcast, Tim Blanks talks to Baillie Walsh about staging immersive experiences, from Abba Voyage to Kim Jones' recent shows for Dior and Fendi.
