Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant are the brains behind the ultra-modern Parisian label Coperni. For the brand’s spring 2023 collection, the design duo – who tied the knot on a secluded Greek island last year – pushed the boundaries of fashion technology even further. “It’s our celebration of women’s silhouettes from centuries past,” Vaillant says in a preview over Zoom ahead of the show. “And we wanted to update our aesthetic in a more grown-up and scientific way, too,” adds Meyer. Held in the Salle des Textiles at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris, the show presented a smorgasbord of notable sartorial moments. The designers were serious about playing with historical proportions, from exaggerated hips by way of padding on tailored wool...

Bella Hadid wasted no time upon entering autumn before she started heavily incorporating leather into her wardrobe. Of course, we shouldn’t be surprised, the model wore the heavy fabric throughout the summer as well, but now that it’s more seasonally appropriate, she’s really doubling down, and we’re not just talking jackets and boots. On Wednesday, it was her oversized, distressed brown leather coat that grabbed out attention as the model was spotted out in Paris. The piece is a unique one, almost resembling a motorcycle jacket that simply got extended down to the shins. Hadid seemingly ditched a shirt under the piece, pairing it with just black boot cut pants (with legs that look to be removable at the thighs, by the...

While much of fashion’s most influential names are in Milan at the moment, taking in the spring 2023 runway shows, Dua Lipa is on the other side of the world in Mexico City. In true Lipa fashion, though, the pop star is still serving looks like she’s sitting front row. On Tuesday, Lipa shared a set of photos from her Future Nostalgia tour stop, showing off two of her latest looks, and proving the versatility of leather in the process. The singer chose Naucalpan’s Nido de Quetzalcóatl and its unique, quirky architecture as the backdrop for her outfit photos. The greens and yellows of the house’s facade allowed her chocolate brown leather look to really pop. Lipa nabbed the set from...

The traditional fashion schedule may have been completely upended over the past two years, but if there’s one thing you can rely on to arrive at the same time each year it’s fashion’s fall/winter campaigns. Each summer, like clockwork, luxury houses start to unveil their cinematic ads featuring top models and Hollywood’s A-listers, often both at the same time. Early out of the gate this year was Prada’s men’s campaign starring Jeff Goldblum, Damson Idris, and Rami Malek photographed by David Sims and juxtaposed with still life portraits of the actors’ personal items. Sims would go on to apply a similar creative direction to Prada’s womenswear campaign starring Hunter Schafer and Kendall Jenner. Some brands’ ads have not only welcomed...

Everything old is new again, the saying goes. Celebs have surely taken the aphorism to heart this summer. Wearing rare and covetable vintage designer pieces for, say, a trip to the grocery store or chilling by the pool has become a key trend. That’s right, a ’90s-era Jean Paul Gaultier slip dress or a Tom Ford-era Gucci bag is no longer reserved for major moments like the red carpet or music videos. The summer of 2022 has been all about casual vintage glamor. This is both a surprising and natural development. Celebrities have developed a penchant for wearing vintage on the red carpet recently, providing fresh, modern spins on hard-to-come-by pieces of yesteryear and showcasing the sheer timelessness of good design. Zendaya wore...

Euphoria may not be filming its next season just yet but Alexa Demie is keeping busy on the fashion front, landing her first-ever Balenciaga campaign for its Fall 2022 collection. The actress has been a close friend of the brand for some time now, sitting front row at runway shows and wearing Demna-designed pieces both on the red carpet and while off-duty. Balenciaga’s Fall 2022 campaign, created by Berlin-based photographer Daniel Roché, continues with the French fashion house’s futuristic-inspired runway show of simulated weather. (As a refresher, models walked through an orchestrated snowstorm within a glass dome at Paris Faris Fashion Week.) The imagery takes on a similar theme, with Demie and the rest of the campaign’s models wearing outfits that seem not-so-suited for their surroundings — faux...

Logos are everything for some fashion fans, but for every proud owner of Balenciaga’s Hourglass bag (a Kim Kardashian favourite), or Jacquemus’s Le Grand Bambino (Dua Lipa’s holiday staple), there’s someone who prefers the quiet luxury of The Row’s Half Moon style. Modelled on sleek silhouettes from the ’90s, the ergonomic curved design fits discreetly under the shoulder without so much as a bulge. Deceptively capacious – depending on the size of your iPhone – the suede-lined inner contrasts the Italian leather outer, which is embossed with the tiniest brand stamp you’re likely to ever witness. Blink and you’ll miss it – that’s the whole point. The mini model is emblematic of the stealth-wealth style Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have cultivated since founding...

Bella Hadid is full of surprises. In her latest venture, she transformed into a video vixen in “Code” by rap star Offset feat. Moneybagg Yo, released today. And yes, there was a gorgeous display of Balenciaga with the help of Demna himself. Hadid and Offset are no strangers to having fun with fashion, and this saucy video is proof. “Code” takes its audience on a vibrant Y2K-esque spin, styled and envisioned by creative director SheShe Pendleton. Offset and Bella Hadid.  Photo: PhobyMo First on screen is Hadid by herself, a shining vision in a double-B Balenciaga chain and a studded bikini, accompanied by lace opera gloves. Viewers are immediately transported into the world of Balenciaga with Offset in an all-leather baby blue motocross jacket-and-pant set. And keeping in...

Some of the most enduring outfits in pop culture history have been worn not on the runway or the red carpet, but on stage. There are plenty of gems: Madonna’s Gaultier-designed “cone bra;” in 1990; the sparkly bodysuit Diana Ross wore as a thunderstorm erupted over Central Park in 1983; Elton John’s 1975 sequined baseball uniform. The Australian-born and NYFW-favorite designer Dion Lee has admired fashion moments of this ilk for a long time. He speaks lovingly of attending high-production arena tours, “where everything had a strong visual aesthetic,” growing up. Fittingly, late last year, the Spanish singer and trendsetter Rosalía approached Lee about designing every outfit for her Motomami world tour. Backup dancers included. Lee did not flinch or balk at the...

Over the weekend, it seems that Kylie Jenner has become an even bigger fan of the micro-mini skirt trend, as she was seen out in London donning perhaps the tiniest skirt we’ve seen on the everything-mogul in a while. The 24-year-old was spotted heading to The Twenty Two in Mayfair on Saturday, Aug. 6, opting for a vintage leather motorcycle jacket from Mugler’s Spring 1990 collection sourced from The Reallist. She then wore her racer-inspired zip-up with an upcycled denim mini skirt from Devised Antithetical, which was crafted from two pairs of jeans and adorned with a low-rise V-cut at the waist. This comes as a surprise for the billionaire as the Double Denim mini skirt runs only at $65 — a budget-friendly option for those...
