It’s Pisces season and across the fashion universe, the water sign energy is hitting whether you’re a horoscope head or an astrology denier. After all, water is the principal chemical component of the human body, which means that no one is immune to the ebbs and flows of this trend. “I have an immense love for the sea,” model Kiko Mizuhara said as she explained her first outfit in a recent “7 Days 7 Looks” video for Vogue Japan. She wore a swirly enamel shell necklace and matching burgundy crochet halter top, both by the very aquatic Spanish brand Gimaguas. Mizuhara is a city girl, but this season her style is shifting towards a more bohemian, mermaid-meets-land aesthetic. Nothing says mermaidcore like The Little Mermaid herself Halle Bailey on...

Gentle Monster has returned with its latest collaboration, proving that the worlds of eyewear and jewelry can go hand-in-hand. Shot by photographer Yis Kid, the campaign for the capsule collection with D’heygere shows models floating in midair, being drawn together by a gravitational force, to symbolize the union between the two brands’ identities as they merge jewelry and eyewear, as well as French and Korean sensibilities, in a unique collaboration that pushes the boundaries of design. Courtesy of Gentle MonsterCourtesy of Gentle MonsterD’Heygere Creative Director Stephanie D’Heygere says in a statement that the collection will “take the next step on typical jewelry eyewear.” This is shown in the beautifully executed design of three new pieces: the Tiara-02, the Rings-01, and the...

No Sesso, the fashion powerhouse led by Pia Davis, Autumn Randolph and Mya Axe, is gearing up to unveil its highly anticipated Carry Bags collection. This exclusive release encapsulates No Sesso’s love for exotic foods, vibrant cultures and the vibrant community of Los Angeles. Drawing inspiration from the timeless functionality of duffle bags, the Carry Bags boast a mini cylinder shape that evokes nostalgic glamour while offering ample space for all your essentials. Initially showcased at the Spring/Summer 2020 NYFW runway show, this collection has undergone three years of meticulous refinement, resulting in the creation of seven exuberant colorways. The available color options encompass “Caviar” (gunmetal textured leather with silver hardware), “Red Wings” (crocodile-embossed leather with silver metal hardware), “Cigar” (medium brown leather with silver metal hardware),...

Bathing suit season is in full swing, and if you haven’t previously considered picking up a one-piece suit, then consider this your calling. Playful, inventive styling is definitely the new way of dressing, and bathing suits are no exception. Whether it be sportswear mixed with formalwear (see David Koma or Nina Ricci) or underpinnings combined with suiting (see any recent Miu Miu runway show), the more unconventional, the cooler the look. When it comes to swimwear, the one-piece suit makes a great double for a fitted bodysuit. A few styles that make for a super versatile suit are bustier-like underwires, floral appliqués, rash guard silhouettes, or classic scoop necklines, to name just a few. Pair these with flouncy maxi skirts, relaxed...

Early in the Y2K era, you were hard-pressed to find an American celebrity who wasn’t wearing a shell choker. Chad Michael Murray’s signature look was going shirtless with a puka shell necklace on, and Justin Timberlake wore a shell necklace for his Rolling Stone cover shoot in 2003. After the release of the iconic surfer girl movie Blue Crush in 2002, followed by The OC in 2003, the seashell necklace cemented its place in popular culture — that is, until they were replaced with the long, beaded necklaces and dog-tag-inspired pieces of the late ‘2000s. But now, the shell choker is making a quiet comeback just in time for summer, spotted on the likes of FKA Twigs, Iris Law, Gigi Hadid, and Blake Lively. The return of the shell choker has been...

If the best accessories serve as punctuation marks, artfully emphasizing the nuances of personal style, then Givenchy’s new Voyou bag is the quintessential exclamation point. Destined to be the “it” style of the season, it intermixes the je ne sais quoi of Parisian elegance with the playful sensibility of a classic California-cool aesthetic. Voyou is a slang term meaning “bad boy” in French, an apt moniker for a bag that pairs complex construction with a contrasting, nonchalant biker vibe. The slouchy hobo silhouette features an adjustable strap, distinctive hardware embellishments, and an interior zippered compartment for all your essentials. Available in mini, medium, and large sizes as well as multiple luxurious fabrications such as subtle-grained leather and satin, it offers a choose-your-own-adventure of individual expression. The Voyou...

Exciting debuts! Supermodel comebacks! Blowout runway shows! If we weren’t quite back to business as usual in 2022, fashion was bigger, louder, and brighter than it’s been since the Before Times. It started on a high note, with Glenn Martens’s astonishing haute couture collection for Jean Paul Gaultier and Matthieu Blazy’s stellar debut at Bottega Veneta. We couldn’t get enough of the star-is-born red carpet style of Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet. And who can forget Rihanna’s baby bump reveal? But the designer exits and advertising controversies of the last few weeks suggest that the pandemic isn’t quite done with us yet. We continue to see its after-effects on independent labels, and consumers, too, have changed, demanding more from the brands they follow and buy, which in turn is inspiring reflection and reevaluation on...
