This Was the Summer of Street Style Vintage (VOGUE)

ydd
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...

ALEXA DEMIE IS OFFICIALLY THE FACE OF BALENCIAGA (NYLON)

ytff
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...

This Bag Is The Definition Of Quiet Luxury (VOGUE UK)

huhn
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...

ggg
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.

How Emily Ratajkowski, Hailey Bieber, and More Celebs Are Making Us Fall for Cargo Pants (VOGUE)

jij
One of the joys of street style watching is seeing how celebrities transform mundane items into memorable fashion moments. For example, cargo pants for women don’t exactly scream whimsical wardrobe must-have, but Hailey Bieber, Emily Ratajkowski, and Kim Kardashian all recently proved just how glamorous those utilitarian trousers can be. Ratajkowski and Kardashian have both worn coveted camouflage pairs by The Attico, and Rihanna has an equally as fabulous Celine pair. The queens of street style proved that the print can be worn so many different ways, from elevating a basic cropped T-shirt to partnering with statement fall coats. Photo: Getty Images Beyond the traditional camouflage-printed cargo, the heavily-pocketed pant has gotten major makeovers from several designers. Bottega Veneta recently debuted a pair on the runway with long and dramatic...

The Secrets Behind Rosalía’s Motomami World Tour Costumes (VOGUE)

jij
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...

SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU (SSENSE)

huh
Transparent Finds from Bode, Gucci, Miaou, and Mugler What does it mean, to be clear? Getting clarity, or making things clear often implies receiving more details, while clearing your head or going clear often means getting rid of said details. Clarity isn’t as clear as we think. But transparency slays, aesthetically (and ethically) speaking, and there’s more than enough to go around. From mesh, to PVC, to sheer tulle, here are some items to get you thinking clearly about what you want to wear. Featured In This Image: Gucci Sandals.

MALL RATS FOREVER: DIESEL FW2 (SSENSE)

Shop Til You Drop With the Latest Collection by Glenn Martens—Meet You at the Food Court Aughties mall starter pack: Hollister, Build-a-Bear, Spencer Gifts, Sam Goody, Victoria’s Secret, Panda Express. As a teenager, the mall represented independence, a space of possibility outside of the regularly scheduled programming of home and high school. A maze of yellow-lit hallways, these buildings were the perfect setting for the deep mundanity and drama of teendom. Endlessly scrolling on Instagram has replaced wandering around the fine establishments at the mall, and we’re reminiscing on days spent at the local shopping center doing nothing with friends. Planning and comparing outfits. People watching at the railings. Binging in the food court. Flirting with your crush and taking cheesy pictures....
