The Gucci Hacker Project arrives at Holt Renfrew Yorkdale
On November 15, Yorkdale’s Holt Renfrew unveiled a two-week-long Gucci Pin (the brand’s version of a pop-up store) solely dedicated to the “Hacker Project.” The shop will feature the Hacker Project capsule collection by Gucci’s Creative Director Alessandro Michele, designed as an expression of reverence and homage to Demna Gvasalia’s Balenciaga and includes both ready-to-wear and accessories. Fabrics, key signifiers, details and logos that are core to both brands are married into the collection, with exclusive pieces set to be available at all Gucci Pins.
Balenciaga’s Hacker collection sweeps through Ssense Montreal
Likewise, Ssense Montreal opened a space for Balenciaga’s “Hacker” collection on November 15, which sees the opposite ruse occur. For Balenciaga’s respective Spring 2022 show this year, the Kering brand reinterpreted signature Gucci codes for a collection that merges the two storied fashion houses. Now that the second part of this project has finally launched this week, Ssense Montreal will turn its first floor, lobby and windows into a space overtook by Balenciaga imitating the retired concept of a trunk show. It will also act as Quebec’s exclusive retailer for the Hacker collection. The installation and collection is in place until December 12 at Ssense Montreal.

Outerwear brand Wuxly opens pop-up stores in Toronto and Ottawa
