Jacquemus Shows First Menswear Collection in Marseille (Vogue)
Simon Porte Jacquemus finally unveiled his much-anticipated debut menswear collection under his namesake lable, Jacquemus. The presentation was staged on a pristine stretch of beach on the outskirts of Marseille, a day after the official end of the men’s shows in Paris, with hunky, well-muscled men modeling Jacquemus’ fantastic collection of loose, easy silhouettes in bright, sunny colors. “I am not going to be the designer with the ruffle shirt and the super experimental pieces,” the designer said to Vogue. “But I will try to put my signature in everyday looks.”

China to Enact First E-Commerce Law (The Fashion Law)
The Chinese government is getting ready to pass the country’s first e-commerce-specific law, which includes provisions that aim to combat availability of counterfeits online. The law comes a year and a half after Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba called for “tougher laws, stricter enforcement and stiffer penalties to crack down on purveyors of counterfeit goods in China.”  Unfortunately for Alibaba, the law will hold them and their peers liable for counterfeit and other infringing goods sold by third-party vendors on their sites.
