Rolf von Bueren Launches Artix Luxury Concept

Artix, a new concept by Rolf von Bueren, founder of Lotus Arts de Vivre, combines art and luxury within hotel spaces, creating immersive experiences that celebrate artistic craftsmanship, including unique pieces like the Teak Bowl with Sterling Silver Dragon and the Mother of Pearl Plate. Meanwhile, the thrift store Love Me Twice, founded by Mridula Pai, aims to reshape perceptions of thrift shopping amidst challenges in the fashion resale market, highlighting a strong local presence in Bengaluru despite the exit of major players like Poshmark India. The fashion world is also witnessing a resurgence of painted clothing, where designers showcase individuality and artistry through unique, hand-painted garments, reflecting a broader trend of self-expression in fashion. Additionally, maximalism continues to evolve in fashion, with designers embracing kitsch elements and bold aesthetics, as exemplified by Sasha Pivovarova's cover for Vogue Singapore. Hermès also featured its autumn/winter 2024 collection, emphasizing leather and equestrian themes, showcasing timeless style within the luxury market.
