From Anheuser-Busch 7 Stella Artois:
THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE ICONIC BEER BRAND AND NEW YORK-BASED FASHION LABEL CELEBRATES COMMUNITY AND INCLUSIVITY BY MAKING FASHION ACCESSIBLE TO ALL
New York, NY – Feb. 8, 2023 – To close out New York Fashion Week, and celebrate their second year of partnership, Stella Artois is collaborating with fashion label LUAR to redefine access in the fashion industry. With this renewed partnership, LUAR‘s AW23 runway show will feature looks inspired by the Stella Artois chalice and signal the return of the iconic Stella Chalice holder at NYFW. Additionally, Stella and LUAR will release limited-edition commemorative “Steluar” merchandise over three days of inclusive and community-centered fashion week events. The LUAR AW23 Collection will continue to be on view in the Faurschou Gallery space for the community to see and experience the collection on their own terms. zzubreebym
“As Stella Artois continues to expand into fashion, we remain focused on being the brand that encourages people to savor life together. Building on last year’s partnership with LUAR, we see an opportunity to make even more of an impact and build on our shared values of inclusivity and connection,” said Marcela Garcia, Vice President of Marketing for Stella Artois. “The Steluar Pop-up not only brings access to an otherwise exclusive world, but also gives community members a prominent platform for their voices to be heard.”
Steluar combines Stella’s mission to drive connection during moments that matter with LUAR’s mission to democratize fashion and luxury, making it inclusive and accessible to every individual, regardless of who they are. “LUAR has always been about creating space and being confident enough to fill it up. We’re showing up in places that we weren’t invited to initially with flair and intention, knowing that we will have a direct impact on generations to come” said LUAR designer Raul Lopez. “Working with Stella Artois is a natural fit with the direction of my brand. The limited-edition Commemorative Steluar merchandise is inspired by my Dominican heritage, love of shared meals and beer with family, and my connection to the culinary and fashion communities.”
Immediately following the runway show on February 15, the three-day Steluar pop-up will serve as a platform to amplify community voices featuring daily programming with a focus on fashion, music, arts, family and celebration; an interactive art installation; and fully immersive fashion content and runway footage.

When: Feb 15, 12 - 7PM ET; Feb 16, 12 – 8PM; Feb 17, 12 – 8PM

LUAR’s Autumn/Winter 2023 runway collection will include collaborative looks directly inspired by the Stella Chalice, a shared logo of Stella Artois’ north star and LUAR’s “L.” The collection will feature classic LUAR silhouettes reimagined with the visual language of Stella Artois, celebrating living authentically and without inhibitions, and will be accompanied with the second edition of the now iconic LUAR-designed Stella Artois Chalice holders featuring AW23 labels.
