GUCCI’S NEW CAMPAIGN RECREATED SCENES FROM STANLEY KUBRICK FILMS (NYLON)

After debuting its Fall 2022 collection at Milan Fashion Week back in February, Gucci has finally dropped its accompanying campaign on Thursday, Aug. 25, titled Exquisite. Visualized by none other than Gucci’s Alessandro Michele, the photo and video series not only includes key silhouettes from the luxury brand’s latest runway show but also features its surprise collaboration with Adidas, as well. The campaign also pays homage to renowned filmmaker Stanley Kubrick and his most celebrated works over his career. Lensed and directed by photographic duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, along with art direction by Christopher Simmonds and replicas of original costume designs curated by Milena Canonero and Charlotte Walter, Gucci’s “Exquisite” campaign takes viewers through a cinematic journey into the mind of Michele by replicating...

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

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)

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....

NYLON FIT PICKS: KYLIE JENNER’S DENIM MINI SKIRT, RIHANNA & A$AP ROCKY’S BAGGY JEANS, & MORE CELEBRITY LOOKS (NYLON)

Over the weekend, it seems that Kylie Jenner has become an even bigger fan of the micro-mini skirt trend, as she was seen out in London donning perhaps the tiniest skirt we’ve seen on the everything-mogul in a while. The 24-year-old was spotted heading to The Twenty Two in Mayfair on Saturday, Aug. 6, opting for a vintage leather motorcycle jacket from Mugler’s Spring 1990 collection sourced from The Reallist. She then wore her racer-inspired zip-up with an upcycled denim mini skirt from Devised Antithetical, which was crafted from two pairs of jeans and adorned with a low-rise V-cut at the waist. This comes as a surprise for the billionaire as the Double Denim mini skirt runs only at $65 — a budget-friendly option for those...

Did Beyoncé Just Tease All Her Renaissance Visual Album Looks? (W Magazine)

Beyoncé still hasn’t dropped a music video for “Break My Soul,” but there’s a chance it might be coming soon. Soon after her latest album Renaissance came out in July, Bey’s team explained she wanted fans to soak in the record sonically before she released any visuals. On Friday, an official teaser for the “I’m That Girl” video hit the Internet. Although we’ve already seen some of the looks and locations in the artwork that accompanied the album packaging, look closely at the 38-second mark, and there’s a split-second montage of loads of new looks. It’s all very Everything Everywhere All at Once, but it also suggests that an entire visual album is on the way. We love “I’m That Girl,” and all,...

Neo Nordic: The Top Spring 2023 Trends at Copenhagen Fashion Week (VOGUE)

Scandi Style, the subject of global fascination, is in a period of evolution. Minimalism and a colorful bohemianism continue to be mainstays of the regional style, but there’s a vibe shift taking place. The shiny, happy energy is still there but so is a grittier, rawer one that allows for more nuanced readings of the culture. This season prints were less prevalent than saturated color in crayon brights, and openwork materials posed the question: to bra or not to bra? Both options were seen on the runway and on the street. Helmstedt’s charming toadstool queen and Jade Cropper’s sexy mermaid were reminders that Denmark is a land of fairytales. The prevalence of white (in fifty or more shades) could be read as...

On Her 40th Birthday, Revisit Devon Aoki’s Greatest Runway Moments (VOGUE)

What makes a good model a great model? For one, it’s their ability to radiate a constant, ineffable sense of cool, no matter where they are or what they’re wearing. Where that’s concerned, few possess the same sense of playfulness, personality, and versatility as Devon Aoki, the cult model who stormed the runways of Chanel, Versace, and Comme des Garçons throughout the 1990s and early-’00s, and quickly became a favorite of photographers like Steven Meisel, Juergen Teller, and Nick Knight. (You might recognize her from the silver screen, too; Aoki featured in Sin City and 2 Fast 2 Furious, among other films.) While Aoki’s chameleonic ability to bend to the vision of whichever designer or photographer she’s working with—appearing as a prim and proper princess for Karl Lagerfeld, a coquettish sex kitten for Ellen von Unwerth, a...
