The call of the pillow has never been so strong: decrypting the urgency to sleep well.

Virgil Abloh, the star designer behind the collections of Louis Vuitton menswear and his own brand, Off-White, has been prescribed three months of resting by the doctors. This may be regarded as something symbolic, as the pace of the fashion industry seems to increase every day, leaving the people of the fashion world under pressure. However, this is not the first time that a total burnout has approached fashion - remember&nbsp;Christophe Decarnin&#39;s&nbsp;physical exhaustion&nbsp;while at&nbsp;Balmain&nbsp;or the uncontrollable behaviour of&nbsp;John Galliano. The symptoms of generalised stress were already present eight years ago, but what is the situation in 2019? Does fashion genuinely need to sleep a little?

There indeed might be a lack of overall sleep, as several signs prove it. Given the collections of the current season, we can see the appearance of materials that were made for our sweetest dreams, such as cashmere, velvet, wool, and more. Let&#39;s not forget the trend of undergarments-worn-as-clothes, with brands such as&nbsp;Fendi,&nbsp;Burberry,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Chlo&eacute;&nbsp;showing off sensual and ultra-cozy silhouettes.

The last hip-hop-influenced collection of&nbsp;Louis Vuitton&nbsp;strongly reminded us of falling asleep with its chic and trendy comfort. The house on rue Cambon also seems to express a desire to sleep. The quilted 2019 version of the famous 2.55 bag - created in 1955 by&nbsp;Mademoiselle Chanel&nbsp;- is a call for gentleness, as well as the line of leather goods called Coco Cocoon, released in 2009. The same is true for&nbsp;Marc Jacobs&nbsp;and his&nbsp;Pillow Bag&nbsp;or&nbsp;Maison Margiela&nbsp;and the&nbsp;Glam Slam&nbsp;model.

Gucci&nbsp;has pushed the concept even further and created an ultra-comfortable hybrid shoe model (felted wool, synthetic shearling lining), something between the Charente and the moccasin. It is generally known that beauty-addicts swear by sleep, as you have to sleep well to be beautiful!&nbsp;&quot;Sleep has an important effect on the health and the recovery of the daily stressors on each organ, including on the epidermis,&quot;&nbsp;explains Ladan Mostaghimi, specialist of the disorders of skin and sleep. Without sleep, the skin cannot regenerate and becomes greyish, and between midnight and four o&#39;clock in the morning, its permeability is the most important. Beauty brand&nbsp;Lush&nbsp;has understood all this and comes to help with its&nbsp;Sleepy&nbsp;range. Nowadays, there are plenty of apps that can help you sleep better, one of the most popular being Headspace. Another example of the need for sleep is the rise of ASMR videos and other podcasts promoting sleep, as evidenced by a site called&nbsp;Sleep with Me. Or the playlist imagined by&nbsp;France Culture&nbsp;for those who, at two o&#39;clock in the morning, would still be awake (playlist available&nbsp;<a href="https://www.franceculture.fr/medias/insomnie" target="_blank">here</a>). Finally, hard-core insomniacs and those for whom sleeping is still a complicated exercise can follow the advice of Albert Einstein:&nbsp;&quot;I do not sleep much, but I sleep quickly.&quot;
