Alber Elbaz Reveals the Name of His New Brand and Its Visual Identity at Vogue’s Forces of Fashion Summit
Alber Elbaz’s new brand AZ Factory will make its official debut in late January, presumably timed to the Paris couture shows….



“Our mission?” Elbaz asks in a brief intro video that rolled before his conversation with Bowles. “Not a revolution, not an evolution. A reset. This is not Alber Elbaz come back, this is the birth of AZ Factory.” In their chat, he expands on that idea.
“I feel good in studios, I feel good making things. I thought it was time to give back everything I learned through the years,” he begins. “Our job as designers is not just to create fashion shows, but to work around needs and then to bring the dream, and combine somehow function and fashion. More than that, I remember what Meryl Streep told me, that I always helped her to be a better version of her, and not to transform her. I think this is my job, I’m not trying to transform anyone, I’m just trying to make everyone, as much as I can, a better version of themselves.”
AZ Factory is a startup—one with the backing of a luxury group, but a startup nonetheless, and Elbaz likes that aspect. “For the first time I want to give birth to a new story and not to recreate or replace someone else. It’s a moment of change we are living today, and this moment of change, from my end, was starting a little smaller, a little bit more humble…. I want to look at fashion from a different perspective.”
Watch the full conversation—and many other speakers including Lizzo, Sarah Burton, Bella Hadid, JW Anderson, and more—at Vogue’s virtual Forces of Fashion summit.

Adin Ross Blindsided by Kanye West’s Controversial Gift, A Swastika Shirt With His Name

Adin Ross is a well known streamer in the hip-hop community, famous for showcasing some of the biggest artists in the genre. He has hosted viral interviews and has helped amplify the work of music giants like Drake, earning a reputation as a connector between artists and their fans. However, things took a shocking turn with Kanye West, and the relationship may be irreparable. In the past, Ross has expressed his admiration for West and even tried to collaborate with him on his stream. Recently, West made a bizarre attempt to reach out to Ross by gifting him a custom t-shirt with a Swastika and Ross’s name. This left Ross, who is Jewish, feeling horrified and betrayed.
The awkward moment unfolded during a FaceTime call that Ross recorded and shared with his followers. What started as a friendly chat quickly turned shocking when West unveiled the offensive t-shirt. Ross was visibly stunned, exclaiming, “What the f*ck?!” as he processed what he had just seen. He paused the video and turned to his audience to express his disbelief. “He has a shirt with a Swastika with my name on it,” he said, clearly disappointed and in shock. His viewers reacted with outrage and support for Ross, flooding the chat with their messages.
Throughout the call, Ross tried to keep his cool and handled the situation carefully. He later explained that some fans might have expected him to confront West more aggressively, but he felt the entire situation was just too absurd. “I know y’all are gonna say I didn’t stand up to him,” he noted, emphasizing that his calm reaction didn’t mean he supported West’s actions. This incident is just another episode in Kanye West’s ongoing controversies, but for Adin Ross, it feels like a personal betrayal.
