Felix Art Fair Restructures Around Solo Booths; Rousteing to Rabanne; Rauschenberg Foundation Donates Glut Sculptures

In 2027, the Felix Art Fair will transform its structure by bringing all exhibitors together in the cabana complex of the Hollywood Roosevelt, promoting a studio-visit vibe with solo or duo artist booths. The organizers plan to keep the number of galleries around 60 and will accept applications from unrepresented artists for the first time. Olivier Rousteing has taken over as creative director of Rabanne, replacing Julien Dossena, who departed in June after 13 years. Rousteing, previously at Balmain for 14 years, will unveil his inaugural Rabanne collection during Paris Fashion Week in March 2027. Additionally, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation has contributed three 1980s "Glut" sculptures to Artist Rooms, which will be displayed at Tate Modern in September. HMD has also introduced four retro Nokia feature phones featuring an AI assistant, free for 180 days, then approximately £3/year in the EU. John Loring, Tiffany & Co.'s design director from 1979 to 2009, has passed away at 86. Rimowa has established "ink blue" as a permanent color option. Other highlights include a Brutalist villa in Marseille inspired by Formula 1 and Brazilian Modernism, Tinder's first rebranding in ten years, and Martin Margiela's sale of his personal archive.
