Whether you’ve seen them on Instagram in your favorite influencers’ mirror selfies or hanging playfully from the pockets of a celebrity in a street style photo, the Y2K-inspired beaded phone strap is everywhere. Up-and-coming brands, like String Ting, Grigri Beads, and more, have taken the “It” accessory on as their speciality and Dua Lipa, Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber, Gigi Hadid, and Miley Cyrus are stocking up and flaunting these beaded accoutrements online and IRL. The DIY trend was born out of quarantine and goes hand-in-hand with the kitschy beaded jewelry that has been gaining popularity for a few seasons. It’s also undeniably a second-coming of the bedazzled rhinestones and charmed strings that adorned early-2000s flip phones and Sidekicks, but, of course, updated for today’s ubiquitous iPhone. And while Instagram and TikTok...

Courtesy of Fendi Mr. Kim Jones ethereal second Fendi couture collection originates from a world of eternal elegance. Inspired by ancient Roman architecture, the collection is a poetic transfiguration of the past within the present day. Jones debuted his first Haute Couture collection for Fendi last season, which “traced his transition from England” to Italy via a study of literature references and romance. The British designer continued that romantic thread this season, but this time, in his new muse city of Rome.

Jones settled in the Eternal City, where...

Very few brands can impact the market quite like Jean Paul Gaultier. In fact, the designer’s archival designs have become so popular among millenials and Gen Z that the storied maison announced earlier this year that, after being out of commission for nearly a decade, it would be bringing its ready-to-wear line back. Prior to the news, the brand posted an obscure message on Instagram back in May to signify the end of an era, sending fans of the label into a frenzy as they scrambled to get their hands on something, anything from past collections. As prices began to go up almost immediately, it was clear that resellers, too, wanted to get in on the action. According to Vestiaire Collective, as reported by WWD, searches...

Summer 2020 was pretty much canceled thanks to the pandemic, so it's no surprise everyone is looking to have tons of fun and get extra bold this summer, especially when it comes to their going-out style. After spending a year in stay-at-home clothes, all this built-up fashion energy is manifesting in the form of a nostalgic accessory trend that relies on bright colors and eclectic designs: summer camp jewelry. Remember those days spent picking out your favorite colored strings and braiding friendship bracelets with your besties? Or stringing together the most mismatched array of neon beads to create a personalized necklace? Well, that style has made a comeback this summer in a big way. The trend can be budget-friendly and it's celebrity-endorsed, with Vanessa...

Courtesy of Off-White It’s been over a year since designers could host a IRL runway show and we’ve been itching, waiting for their grand return. Virgil Abloh revealed the Off-White Fall/Winter 2021 Collection during Haute Couture week in Paris after 16 months of being deprived of doing anything in-person. Creating a see-now, buy-now collection named “Laboratory of Fun”, the fan favorite designer did not come to play. “Shit is about to get crazy or as they say in french “ça va être folle”” said the announcer in a socal voice as Bella Hadid opened the show on a school gym-themed stage in an electrifying royal blue sheath dress with matching knee-high boots.

    The timing of these enormous fields of green is worth noting: the world is still in a pandemic, but businesses are opening back up—even more intriguing is the fact that trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort predicted green would be the color of 2021, way back in 2019. Of course, Pantone also named the shade “Leprechaun 18-6022” as a leading color for its Fall 2021-2022 NYFW Color Forecast in February 2021, calling it a tribute to “the fun side of nature.” At the center of all the greenness is Bottega Venta, which has chosen a bright, flat, and almost shockingly pigmented Kelly green for its packaging, including the aforementioned shopping bags—in addition to its spring 2021 clothing and accessories. On the brand’s runway, there were tailored coats...

Summer knitwear may seem like an oxymoron but trust us, there’s a lot to be said for this major warm-weather trend. As cozy dressing monopolized winter and quarantine fashion in the form of coordinating sets and bra tops, sweater weather has taken on a new meaning and this year, it’s not just limited to the colder months. From knitted swimsuits and skirts to sweater cover-ups and dresses, knitwear is slowly becoming a summer staple, too. Crochet pieces have also become a favorite on the Spring 2021 runways, as major brands like Bottega Veneta, Acne Studios, Fendi, and Gabriela Hearst featured summer-friendly knits in the form of dresses, rompers, skirts, tops, and shorts. Some styling tips included doubling down on the trend with a crochet...
