JEREMY SCOTT
Designs Exclusively for yoox.com
Jeremy Scott, international style icon, designs an exclusive collection for yoxo.com previewing with Colette during Paris' Prêt-a-Porter shows in October and available worldwide on yoox.com.
Along with his guest curator, celebrity stylist Arianne Phillips, Jeremy Scott explored the current appetite for tabloids and designed this collection as a social commentary on the media's obsession with celebrities. Entitled the Tabloid Collection, Jeremy's line of men's and women's clothing and accessories features a collage of iconic headlines: Shocking, Envy, Shut Up, Drama, Jealous, Sexy and more. Printed on his signature trench coat, leggings, cropped denim jackets, miniskirt, tanks and even men's boxers & briefs, the pieces are themselves a story waiting to be unfolded.
An artist at heart, Jeremy Scott injects his creative spirit to all of his projects choosing yoox.com, as the perfect channel to debut this line internationally. yoox.com has hosted a launch event in Paris. Colette has joined yoox.com for the premiere event during Paris Fashion Week.
In occasion of « Robe seule du soir », the second poetic show presented with the Haute-couture Autumn-Winter 2006-07 collections in Paris, yoox.com and Olivier Saillard have decided to collaborate together.
Sharing his same passion for uniqueness, exception and paradox, yoox.com will be presenting an exclusive collection by Olivier Saillard's.
yoox.com is the perfect immaterial stage for his creations. No boutique, in the traditional sense of the word, could be more suitable for a man who has chosen to put his name in the haute-couture collections fashion calendar with such atypical creations. A designer praised by the press as "a great moment for haute-couture".
Olivier Saillard's new collection is composed of a series of clothing and accessories printed with poems; clothing takes the place of paper. No other fashion boutique could so pertinently welcome a collection where the pen has replaced the scissors and the needle. Clothes that beg to read upon a pocket, underneath a collar or below a neckline.
A dedicated experimental area and a superb selection of this collection will be exclusively available on yoox.com in September 2006.

House of Waris "The Silver Collection"
Waris, the Sikh artist, actor and craftsman launches a special Silver Collection found only on yoox.com starting June 2006. Celebrating the long standing relationship with the designer, yoox.com will dedicate a special area to the House of Waris featuring photos and content from Waris' archive.
Waris is a pioneer among a new breed of craftsmen. With a passion for quality and beauty as well as a naturally creative spirit, Waris first started making jewellery in 2000. While acting in Wes Anderson's film, The Life Aquatic, Waris fell in love with Rome, inspired by the city's living history and attention to detail of its artisans. Tucked away in the old city, he discovered the perfect small workshop. Within six months, House of Waris had moved from New York to Rome where craftsmen with generations of experience in creating meticulously handcrafted jewellery now help make Waris' unique and instinctive design philosophy become a reality. The expression of his eclectic, instinctive and free-flowing vision is captured in every piece before being stamped with the House of Waris symbol.
This past winter Waris returned to his native land India in search of the country's best artisans. His latest collection is the result of that voyage. Waris now spends his time between New York, Rome and Rajasthan on a quest to preserve the methods of the Old World, working with the best in each city, from goldsmiths to diamond setters who once made the crests for regal families. "I create in the lands of ancient kingdoms, surrounded by the beauty of history," says Waris.
House of Waris has also embarked on collaborative series which yoox.com has supported. Acting as both curator and co-designer, Waris chooses someone each season from the world of art, fashion or design. The first collaborative collection was with renowned designer and friend Benjamin Cho, whose finely crafted dresses alongside Waris' idiosyncratic jewellery produced a dark, macabre collection lightened with twists of humour and charm. This collection was sold exclusively through yoox.com and is still available by special order.
Waris' collaborations extend also to film. "The excellent Waris Ahluwalia," attests Boston Globe in a review about his recent feature film role in The Inside Man for which he played a bank hostage. While on set the director, Spike Lee, admired his jewellery and added several pieces to his own collection.
The jewelry is more than a series of pieces, but rather a story being told, revealing itself through the evolution of the collections. "I go by instinct, and the understanding that real luxury takes time."BRACCIALINI COLLECTION ON YOOX.COM

The First yoox.com Design Collection
FREAKS
20 Objects Dedicated to the Custody of the Self
Created by Atelier Biagetti
Debut, Milan Furniture Week: April 7, 2006
yoox.com, recreates its DNA through design. During the Milan Furniture Week, yoox.com will unveil its first design collection, FREAKS, featuring 20 objects dedicated to the Custody of the Self: the expression and will to reinvent our surroundings from our utopias and desires.
FREAKS, explains Biagetti, "is a collection of objects that never leave us, that surround us, and silently insinuate themselves into our lives. Objects that change with us and even resemble us, they are little things that we can wear and use as accessories in our homes. A cosmos of objects that generates new scenes around us, creations that spring from unprecedented aesthetic raids mixing styles, materials, passions and colors with applied technology, craftsmanship and industrial production."
FREAKS broadens and strengthens yoox.com's dedication to design in the same vein as the collaboration launched with Alessi last December. In this sphere as in fashion, yoox.com continues to probe new aesthetic realms and search for fresh modes of creative expression.
Other projects promoted by yoox.com include the exhibition Dressing Ourselves, curated by Alessandro Guerriero, which, after its success at La Triennale di Milano, will soon be travelling around the world; Fashionbeast, the children's wear collection fusing music, fashion and technology created by the punk icon, Malcolm McLaren; Strambo, a collection of Self-Made Bags (customizable online) created by designers, painters, cartoonists and architects - Matteo Guarnaccia, Fulvia Mendini, Prof. Bad Trip, Massimo Giacon, Johanna Grawunder, Tatiana, Markus Benesch and Alessandro Guerriero.

"SLEEPING BEAUTIES"
A unique exhibition-event that shows (and sells) garments reawakened by the personality of the women who wore them and the designers who created them
yoox.com (www.yoox.com), the innovative style destination, and "Galerie de Mode" have come together to celebrate their shared passion for creativity and fashion in order to present a uniquely poetic project.
The Galerie de Mode exhibition – "Sleeping Beauties" – debuted as the inaugural event at the Paris Fashion Week on January 23rd and is now presented online exclusively on yoox.com.
This exhibition and sale features the contribution of twenty fashion savvy women, protagonists of the fashion and art scene in France and the world. Among the contributors are actress Tilda Swinton (The Chronicles of Narnia, Broken Flowers), designers Martine Sitbon, Maria Cornejo and Cathy Pill, as well as journalists including Mademoiselle Agnès (Vogue). All were invited to show one or two of the most coveted designer pieces from their wardrobes - a garment they particularly love.
Each piece, special in its own right, becomes even more precious when Olivier Saillard, curator of the exhibition, attaches his own poetic label "sur mesure" that evokes the identity of these women. Saillard is known as "the clothes writer" eloquently transforming fashion into a field of expression.
In that same spirit yoox.com, continually supporting new forms of creativity on the Internet, joins with the "Galerie de Mode" to host "Sleeping Beauties" in a virtual dimension. People around the world are invited to experience the reawakening of a dormant wardrobe that through its own story speaks of these women's dreams and the designers' inspiration that once upon a time brought them to life.

The sartorial tradition of Cavalli & Nastri online only on yoox.com
yoox.com, presents Vintage Connection, an exclusive selection of precious dresses from the 1950s to the 1970s by the Milanese dressmaker Tizzoni, already the subject of an exhibition held in October in Cavalli & Nastri's new location.
Among the pieces that will be available online from January 30th, the ball gowns—adorned with marvelous embroidery and applications—demand particular attention. Also notable are the cocktail dresses, evoking the French influence of the era, as well as the meticulously detailed day dresses.
Vintage Connection is the result of a long collaboration between yoox.com and Cavalli & Nastri: the celebrated vintage store has made some of their most valuable pieces available online exclusively at yoox.com. Bringing together vintage pieces (and therefore history of fashion), and online sales (and therefore technology and the future) has resulted in an unusual but felicitous pairing. Vintage Connection celebrates the extraordinary contradiction that has resulted in the successful partnership between yoox.com and Cavalli & Nastri.
