Corsetted silhouettes have always been a part of fashion, starting as an essential undergarment from the 16th century through the early 20th century meant to accentuate, or create, an hourglass figure. Since the ‘70s, the corset top outfits made their way onto the runway, with designers like Vivienne Westwood, Mugler, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and more redefining the rigid garment into a fashion statement. Now, as the Y2K resurgence dominates today’s trends, the coveted item has become fashion’s must-have “going-out” top and a favorite among many celebrities, including Megan Fox, Rihanna, Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, and more.

Review Saint Laurent’s fall 2021 collection, and you’ll find look after look topped off with eclectic and cool tweed jackets in an array of ’80s-inspired colors like violet, chartreuse, and hot pink. The jackets and blazers were also paired with coordinating tweed skirts, but these were a far cry from the traditional skirt suit. Instead, Saint Laurent’s Anthony Vaccarello opted for how-high-can-you-go microminiskirts and metallic bodysuits. The collection seemed to signal the birth of a new generation of tweed separates, and Saint Laurent wasn’t the only label to present a fabulously fun update to the forever style. In typical Area fashion, designers Piotrek Pansczczyk and Beckett Fogg embellish a green tweed blazer with drips of crystal fringe, while Valentino offers a cropped, midriff-baring version of what is customarily...

Stepping into Eva Joan is akin to going inside an upcycling jewelry box. To the left of the door sits a rack full of acid wash jeans, floral frocks, paper-thin nightdresses, and antique quilts, piled high to the ceiling. To the right, trays of ribbons, bowls of buttons, and a cadre of pins and embellishment. Everything is on display with one goal in mind: to transform any garment in any way. No project is too big, and it’s enough to change how you think about alterations entirely. Bjorn Eva Park, 28, and Emma Villeneuve, 29, opened up Eva Joan in a half address at 22 8th Avenue next to Casa Magazines in the West Village in June 2021.

Browsing through the spring 2022 collections, I lingered on the new, very cool Marine Serre look book. The clothes were elevated, funky, and as French as ever, and the models stood in colorful tops in front of posh, old-timey wallpaper. But there’s something odd about these shirts. They’re popcorn tops, a stretchy, polyester-leaning style in which the fabric is puckered like tiny, squished pyramids. Ah, the fabric of my youth!

Shrunken pieces of cloth that could be squashed into an itty-bitty ball, they could fit a multitude of body types thanks to their considerable...
