Has JW Anderson Made 2023’s Ugliest Shoe Already?

by cometrend
FASHION
In Jonathan Anderson’s creative directorship roles at his eponymous label and Loewe, the designer has given us stilettos bulging with balloons, sandals with curves like car bumpers, sneakers sprouting cress and boots resembling slouchy shoulder bags. The designer has long flirted with the absurd and the surreal, creating shoes that fall into a category that has captivated this Vogue editor: “ugly”. The ugly shoe upped its ante in 2022, thanks to fashion’s newfound affection for Rihanna-approved Vibram FiveFinger shoes, the Birkenstock Boston mule, the comeback of the hood-toed Nike Air Rift, and an everlasting interest in Crocs. But thanks to Anderson, a new orthopaedic animal is in town. The reptilian “croc” is in for a shock and taking on some tough competition in 2023, thanks to a...

Michael the III Attends Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour (SSENSE)

by Cometrend Staff
FASHION
What to wear to Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour, her first solo tour in seven years and first public performance since releasing an album last July? Silver, basically. Platinum. Iridescence. Chrome. Diamonds. Foil, if you must. You can’t go wrong with the now-famous disco cowboy hat Beyoncé pairs with a Nusi Quero bodysuit and silver-fringed chaps in the image that would become the tour’s sole promotion until opening night. All signs pointed to silver: She donned a silver Gucci dress at the 2023 Grammys; silver-paneled Gareth Pugh and silver Amina Muaddi heels for the Roc Nation Brunch. At her own gold-themed Oscars after-party, the host wore gold then changed into silver. Onstage, even the wind machines wear it. Silver, unlike gold, feels...

Every Vintage Chanel Reference You Might Have Missed In Barbie (VOGUE UK)

by Cometrend Staff
FASHION
There’s no doubt that vintage Chanel is having a major moment this year. First, there was the Met Gala, where a whole host of stars opted for pieces from the French fashion house’s archives in honour of the late Karl Lagerfeld. Now, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie has brought more treasures from the Chanel vaults onto the big screen. Of course, fashion is central to the summer blockbuster, which sees Margot Robbie take on the role of the famous Mattel doll. And given the actor’s long-time relationship with Chanel, it makes sense that the brand would have a starring role. “If Margot wears anything that we didn’t make, it’s pretty much [all] Chanel,” costume designer Jacqueline Durran previously told Vogue. “They’re very interested in supporting cinema and in helping us find looks...

by Cometrend Staff
FASHION

The likes of Emily Ratajkowski, Zoe Saldana and Kaia Gerber have all been wearing boots with slip dresses and minis this month, providing plenty of inspiration for how we can dress for the notoriously changeable British weather in the coming months.

INTRODUCING SSENSE BRIDAL (SSENSE)

by Cometrend Staff
FASHION
What is love? Is it moving in together at age 18, despite skepticism from some friends and family? Perhaps it’s the marriage that lasts 30-plus years. Or, actually, it’s when the third marriage, struck up well into middle age, sticks this time. Love is the connection between two air signs. It’s the straightforward pleasure of sharing dinner and a movie. Love is the first joke cracked after a fight. The first kiss after a moment of conflict. Love is transformation. We took the launch of SSENSE Bridal as a chance to speak about love (rather than forever hold our peace). In particular, we enlisted five real couples to investigate the meaning of marriage itself—to talk about the future of an old fashioned idea...

Battle of the Summer Style Staples (SSENSE)

by Cometrend Staff
FASHION
Summer comes once a year but its regularity does little to diminish the accompanying anxiety about how to dress. Sweat. Pit stains. Swimwear. Exposed body parts. There are a lot of factors to consider when contending with the vulnerability of summer outfits. Salute to the goths who refuse to bend but for the rest of us choices must be made. With the hottest days of summer 2023 looming, these garments start conversations and draw divisive opinions. Are bucket hats only appropriate for fishing trips, or are they actually sick? Are you willing to bare foot flesh in fisherman sandals, or do you prefer them with socks? Which sunscreen suggests you’re truly thoughtful about protecting your body and the environment? It’s time...

Chopova Lowena’s It-Book Of Summer 2023 Stars Chlöe Sevigny (Vogue UK)

by Cometrend Staff
CELEB, FASHION
Emma Chopova and Laura Lowena are turning publishers. The British-Bulgarian duo behind Chopova Lowena have released a new book, Conversations with Angels, that is a retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Snow Queen by the artist and poet Precious Okoyomon. Starring Chlöe Sevigny as the titular queen, and photographed by Charlotte Wales, the book uses looks from the designers’ autumn/winter 2023 collection as a jumping-off point to tell this beloved children’s tale. Fashion’s love affair with the literary world has been raging for a few years. Loewe’s autumn/winter 2021 show notes included an excerpt of Danielle Steel’s novel The Affair and Proenza Schouler’s autumn/winter 2023 show featured diary entries by Ottessa Moshfegh on the soundtrack (read by Sevigny, as it happens). Just last month, Pierpaolo Piccioli cited Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life as an inspiration for his Valentino men’s spring/summer 2024 collection, going so far as...
