We are two days into Paris men’s fashion week – the strongest men’s week by far – and the show many have been waiting for happens today: Virgil Abloh’s debut as artistic director of menswear at Louis Vuitton. Abloh – the founder of US streetwear label Off-White, a DJ and a master marketer – will bring his streetwear sensibility and talent for generating fanfare to the Parisian house. His predecessor, Kim Jones, had considerable success at Louis Vuitton, particularly with his bags created in collaboration with Supreme. Abloh will surely push the streetwear references further (a sneak preview of his collection released yesterday showed colourful trainers and baggy trousers). Then, tomorrow, Jones will show his debut line for Dior Homme, another LVMH-owned label. LVMH has made numerous changes to its menswear teams and this week they bear their first fruit.

It was the submarine that disappeared without trace on a routine patrol in the southern Atlantic: the ARA San Juan lost contact with authorities on 15 November. An international effort failed to find the crew, coinciding with an escalating scandal over accusations that the sub didn’t have enough air and food to survive an emergency. As such, the state has turned to a tendering process to contract a private company to find the vessel. Barring any last-minute hiccups, the task will be handed to Spanish firm Igeotest Geoscience Group for €3.2m. With president Mauricio Macri facing a faltering currency and a recent cabinet reshuffle, he’ll be hoping Igeotest succeeds where others have failed.
