A group of young rappers and aspiring designers formed the Arcadie association, a covert way to get into events by organizing exuberant fashion shows with human creativity at the organization’s heart, which is detached from the digital world.
Arcadie tells the story of three young men, Joran, Basile, and Killian, who form a group to organize events that blend fashion presentations with other artistic disciplines.
Unlike traditional fashion shows produced by corporations, which try to create hype and drive shoppers into stores, the Arcadie Association’s fashion events aim to bring together a community of people who share the same ideals.
It’s a type of intergenerational, multiracial Date Working in which people share similar perspectives on social concerns. The business model is built on admission fees (fashion shows are attractive by definition and attract an audience that needs access to them). Approximately 300 to 350 individuals attend each evening.
However, Arcadie differs from other social events because it refuses to invite people using social media. And why is that? For example, said events posted on Facebook or Instagram notify people who have nothing in common other than being flagged by algorithms as potentially interested.
A New Generation Withdraws From Social Networks And The Fashion Industry.
“The people who attend our parties arrive as a result of contacts they’ve made in person or by word of mouth, in a rave party spirit,” Joran shares with FashionUnited. “People who are professionals in their sector, to facilitate meetings around the same areas of activity.”
Another feature is the promotion of emerging designers who no longer fit into the old pattern of “creating prototypes, participating in trade shows, wholesale sales, and producing orders,” which we know is in decline.
Arcadie’s youthful companies are evolving into what we may call Couture, in the sense that their clothes or fashion accessories are manufactured to order in their workshops (or at home for the youngest labels) and promoted on a B2C basis—a unique business model with the potential to change the field.
The next Arcadie dinner will occur during Paris Fashion Week in September 2024. Stay tuned.
