FabriX returns to Paris from September 29 to October 7, 2025, with a distinctive vision that places digital technology at the heart of creation. It presents an exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo titled “Tomorrow Was // Fragments of Tomorrow, Told Through Fashion,” in collaboration with the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode and PMQ (formerly Police Married Quarters).

This exhibition immerses visitors in the future of fashion through interactive installations, 4D imagery, and AI-generated narratives.
Four young designers — Alain Paul, Caroline Hu, Didu, and Kevin Germanier — present works created in collaboration with dancers, choreographers, sculptors, and digital artists. Each piece becomes an immersive experience, allowing visitors to interact with the garments and step into a dynamic, creative universe.
The scenography, designed by British designer Gary Card, radiates a bold, chaotic energy that unites the various contributions into a spectacular visual whole. This new chapter in FabriX’s evolution underscores its role as a pioneer of digital fashion. Founded in Hong Kong in 2022, the platform has established itself as a key player at the intersection of art and technology, already making its mark in London, Paris, and Hong Kong.
The project is led by PMQ, Hong Kong’s mixed-use arts and design venue and creative hub. Based in the heart of the city since 2014, it hosts more than a hundred young creatives and offers an international showcase for the local arts scene. A true incubator of talent, it has now established itself as a central force in design and cultural innovation.
The initiative is also supported by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDAHK). Established in 2024 by the Hong Kong government, the agency’s mission is to foster the development of the cultural and creative sectors by supporting artists and businesses and enabling them to gain international exposure.
Finally, the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) — a historic institution that brings together the leading French and international fashion houses — also backs this project. An essential player at Paris Fashion Week, it is committed to promoting creativity and supporting initiatives that rethink the future of the fashion industry.
With this exhibition, FabriX confirms its ability to push the boundaries of what is possible — bringing together East and West, tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and digital technology. The opening will take place on Monday, September 29, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Palais de Tokyo.

The demerger of Unilever‘s ice cream division, to be named ‘The Magnum Ice Cream Company,’ which had been delayed in recent months by the US government shutdown, will finally go ahead on Saturday, the British group announced.

Unilever said in a statement on Friday that the admission of the new entity’s shares to listing and trading in Amsterdam, London, and New York, as well as the commencement of trading… is expected to take place on Monday, December 8.
The longest federal government shutdown in US history, from October 1 to November 12, fully or partially affected many parts of the federal government, including the securities regulator, after weeks without an agreement between Donald Trump‘s Republicans and the Democratic opposition.
Unilever, which had previously aimed to complete the demerger by mid-November, warned in October that the US securities regulator (SEC) was “not in a position to declare effective” the registration of the new company’s shares. However, the group said it was “determined to implement in 2025” the separation of a division that also includes the Ben & Jerry’s and Cornetto brands, and which will have its primary listing in Amsterdam.
“The registration statement” for the shares in the US “became effective on Thursday, December 4,” Unilever said in its statement. Known for Dove soaps, Axe deodorants and Knorr soups, the group reported a slight decline in third-quarter sales at the end of October, but beat market expectations.
Under pressure from investors, including the activist fund Trian of US billionaire Nelson Peltz, to improve performance, the group last year unveiled a strategic plan to focus on 30 power brands. It then announced the demerger of its ice cream division and, to boost margins, launched a cost-saving plan involving 7,500 job cuts, nearly 6% of the workforce. Unilever’s shares on the London Stock Exchange were steady on Friday shortly after the market opened, at 4,429 pence.

Traditional and occasion wear designer Puneet Gupta has stepped into the world of fine jewellery with the launch of ‘Deco Luméaura,’ a collection designed to blend heritage and contemporary aesthetics while taking inspiration from the dramatic landscapes of Ladakh.

“For me, Deco Luméaura is an exploration of transformation- of material, of story, of self,” said Puneet Gupta in a press release. “True luxury isn’t perfect; it is intentional. Every piece is crafted to be lived with and passed on.”
The jewellery collection features cocktail rings, bangles, chokers, necklaces, and statement evening bags made in recycled brass and finished with 24 carat gold. The stones used have been kept natural to highlight their imperfect and unique forms and each piece in the collection has been hammered, polished, and engraved by hand.

Designed to function as wearable art pieces, the colourful jewellery echoes the geometry of Art Deco while incorporating distinctly South Asian imagery such as camels, butterflies, and tassels. Gupta divides his time between his stores in Hyderabad and Delhi and aims to bring Indian artistry to a global audience while crafting a dialogue between designer and artisan.
