Ariana Grande’s Top is Held Together By a Thread (W Magazine)

ooo
Ariana Grande is the queen of tiny fashion. Save for an occasional oversized sweatshirt, the singer loves a minimal proportion. She pulls off every mini skirt and crop top like no other. Honestly, maybe she hasn’t seen Miu Miu’s SS22 collection yet because she would have snagged every look straight off the runway for her Voice appearances. Despite Grande’s love for skin, though, her latest look may have broken a record for the least fabric possible. It almost defies the laws of physics. On Thursday, the singer (and Voice coach and soon-to-be beauty mogul) shared a photo on Instagram laying casually on the ground, her long, brown hair let out of its pony and draped on her chest. Grande is wearing some light makeup courtesy of her...

Kim Kardashian Brought Thierry Mugler Out of Retirement to Design Her Halloween Costume (W Magazine)

eee
Thierry Mugler, also known as Manfred, doesn’t come out of his semi-retirement for just anything. Of course, he emerged in 2019 to design Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala dress and now, she’s put him back to work yet again, this time for a Halloween costume. Yes, Kardashian got Mugler, who officially retired from the runway almost two decades ago, to dust off his designing chops so she could wear couture to go trick-or-treating. Kardashian showed off her full look on Monday and, to be fair, this is no ordinary, Party City purchase. The costume, which Kardashian and Mugler are calling a “Cowbot” features a bra with a star motif, some booty shorts that include Mugler’s signature shell-like layering, some chaps, and boots...

Bella Hadid, Lola Leon, and Amber Valletta Defy Gravity in Mugler (W Magazine)

uuu
Everyone has a front-row seat to Mugler’s Fall/Winter 2021 runway show. For the second season in a row, the house’s creative director, Casey Cadwallader, opted to ditch the traditional catwalk-based show for a video presentation, one that puts viewers in the middle of the spectacle, and the result is uniquely Mugler. Bella Hadid, Lourdes “Lola” Leon, Amber Valletta, and more models pound down the runway to intense beats in tight-fitting bodysuits, illusion tops, and chain-draped dresses. At times, the models are seen with a white morphsuit posse behind them, mimicking the models movements or showing off their own looks. Other times, those shadow figures catch the models as they suddenly fall, only to be mysteriously lifted back up again. “There was just...

200 Creatives Celebrate Louis Vuitton’s 200th Birthday (W Magazine)

rrr
Little is known about the life of Louis Vuitton. The man whose initials have become synonymous with luxury made his living as the French aristocracy’s preferred trunk-maker and packer, after leaving home at 13 years old to master the craft. Beyond that, many of the specifics have been lost to the sands of time. But we do know that he was born on August 4, 1821, at 3 a.m., in Anchay, France, a hamlet in the Jura Valley, which is enough information for Susan Miller, the Internet’s favorite astrologer, to draw up his birth chart: Mr. Vuitton was a Leo, with a Cancer rising and a moon in Libra. “Leos want uniqueness. They want something different. They never want to...

iiii
Following the recent launch of her socks collection and the restock of her highly-reviewed cotton line, Kim Kardashian finally confirmed that the Fendi x SKIMS collaboration is finally happening after all. On Monday, Oct. 25, Kardashian announced via Instagram the upcoming release of the limited-edition capsule collection, designed by none other than Fendi’s artistic director Kim Jones and Kardashian herself. “The idea for the collaboration came about when my team and I were sitting around a table at the studio in Rome,” said Jones in an official statement. “Suddenly, all the women went silent and started looking at their phones. I didn’t know what was going on, but they were waiting for the launch of the new SKIMS collection. It was then that I thought: Let’s...

Why the Micro-Mini Skirt is 2022’s Biggest Fashion Statement (W Magazine)

iii
This season’s biggest trend is tiny. Meet the micro-mini skirt, a holdover from the going-out styles of the early to mid aughts, worn by all the biggest names of that era: Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan among them. The style re-emerged and began picking up steam on the runways earlier this year, when Miu Miu and Saint Laurent showed teeny skirts in embellished jewels and tweeds for fall 2021. Celebrities like Olivia Rodrigo, Bella Hadid, Rihanna, and Dua Lipa were quick to adopt the trend, mixing school girl pleated skirts and sporty renditions with Y2K staples. And who could forget Gen Z’s obsession with the tennis skirt, which dominated summer fashion this year? There’s no question that...

V TRENDS: FURRY AND FABULOUS (V Magazine)

ooo
With the brisk arrival of cooler Winter months, furry silhouettes are promising to be the ultimate stylish sheath to protect against the ever changing elements. Undeniably tactile and sensual, the beloved textile evokes a sense of familiarity and comfort that has become synonymous with the colder months. Spanning the gamut of softly feminine and irresistibly edgy, the perennial favorite is back and better than ever in the form of energetic separates, functional overcoats, and statement-making accessories. Though dramatic fur coats — real or faux — and shearling outerwear have been decade-long mainstays, this season is taking the furry fad to a whole new level. Playfully tailored Chanel suit sets — in brightly colored fur, of course — and muted ombre outerwear from...

DEVON AOKI’S BEST 2000S FASHION MOMENTS (NYLON)

tt
A Y2K fashion moodboard wouldn’t be complete without Devon Aoki. The model and actress dominated the runways during the 2000s and soon became a cult favorite in Hollywood, too, as both Suki in 2 Fast 2 Furious and Dominique in D.E.B.S. According to the Independent, Aoki got her big break in modeling thanks to Kate Moss, who “discovered” the then-14-year-old in the pages of Interview Magazine and pitched her to Moss’ now-former agency, Storm. Shortly after, Aoki became one of Karl Lagerfeld’s many muses, walking in his haute couture runway shows, and snagging a brand deal with Versace. “It was really an accident,” Aoki told the British newspaper. “I always thought models had to fit a certain mold. I never thought I had what it takes. I’m too...
