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...

Throughout fashion history, designers have created It bags, It t-shirts, It accessories, and even It hats, but none in recent years have done what Chopova Lowena has for the skirt. People who have never even taken the slightest interest in skirts before are now donning Chopova Lowena’s unhinged, carabiner-belted kilts—Madonna and Dua Lipa are fans, too. The label has successfully created a piece that still has the power to shock in 2022, which says a lot. Still, Chopova Lowena only had its first runway show this season, staged at Porchester Hall near Paddington Station in London. A slew of the aforementioned skirts, inspired by the founders’ relationships with their Bulgarian roots and folklore, came out in droves, but the designers also...

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...

Thousands of guests attended Diesel’s spring 2023 show in Milan. In fact, 3,000 tickets were offered to the public. Creative director Glenn Martens has quickly become one of the designers hellbent on breaking down the barriers of the traditional fashion industry, and he did just that, once again, for the brand’s spring 2023 collection. The show, which took place in a room full of massive, vaguely sexual inflatable sculptures, opened with a procession of denim looks: bra tops, oversized vests, sliced jeans, shredded maxi dresses, distressed hot pants, baggy trench coats, and structured corsets. Taking influence from his work at Y/Project, where Martens did a deep dive into the material, the designer has made it clear that Diesel is a vessel...

The 7 Biggest Beauty Trends From New York Fashion Week (VOGUE)

ugu
This season at New York Fashion Week, the beauty flitted between pared-back and unbridled. Embodying the stripped-back attitude was a skin care–as–makeup strategy with minimal flourish. Leave it to backstage legend Pat McGrath to sum it up lyrically, “sublime skin meets minimal majorness.” It’s no wonder then that the ’90s are permeating runways. Not just on the minimalism front with clean skin and slicked-back knots, but also on the maximalist one as well. From chunky glitter eyes to bombshell updos worthy of the decade’s most influential supermodels, bolder referential statements abounded. The emphasis on beauty inspired by a particular “character” for the show felt timeless. Individual statements included artful braided sculptures, floor-sweeping hair lengths, and a mélange of imaginative face embellishments. Of course,...

FASHION
hihh
A black leather jacket is one of the most versatile items of clothing you can own. It’s the perfect level of warmth for slightly chilly fall weather; it can take you from day to night with ease; and it plays equally well with knitwear, a simple white T-shirt and jeans, or a slip dress. Depending on the cut and detailing, it can read sophisticated chic or retro punk—and when lined with (faux) shearling, it can get you through a few months of winter, too. This season’s standout takes on the timeless style range from ’90s minimalist to cropped and contemporary—all in luxe materials, from soft calfskin to sturdy vegan leather.

Rewind to season 3, episode 13, "It's not a bag, it's a Baguette," declared Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City, and the pop apotheosis of the Baguette was complete. A statement that is also inscribed inside each of SJP's capsule bags, or rather Baguettes. Once upon a time, in a cutthroat romance where uptown meets downtown, Fendi marked its 25th anniversary with a celebration of the house's famed Baguette bag. To properly acknowledge the milestone, the sculptors of the Fendi atelier, Kim Jones and Silvia Venturini Fendi, came on the scene to - the place where the position of the bag in pop culture history was sealed – New York City. The debut featured special collections from Marc Jacobs,...

It’s day 2 of New York Fashion Week, and up next is an It-Girl favorite and a designer that stands firmly on the NYFW circuit, Dion Lee. Stylists, editors, and fashionistas—all head to toe in the Australian designer’s pieces, of course—replace the office works that typically occupy the vacant top floor of a Hudson Yards skyscraper. Typically inspired by architectural shapes, the grittiness of the exposed concrete room further emphasized that theme, creating quite the ambiance for a Dion Lee show. The SS23 collection, however, nods to the opposite—the patterns in nature. Dion Lee presents SS23 Biomimicry. Offering a fusion of traditional tailoring across recognizable corsets, Lee’s SS23 collection merges the brand’s traditional codes with hints of surprise elements—like motocross fashion...
