It’s a new era and Demna Gvasalia wants you to be aware of that. At least that’s the feeling we’re left with after embarking on the nearly seven-minute journey that is Balenciaga’s new Spring 2022 ready-to-wear show, titled “Clones.” With the presentation set in an all-white stage that contrasts with the “audience” watching in all-black outfits, it’s hard not to think of sci-fi titles like The Matrix. “We see our world through a filter – perfected, polished, conformed, Photoshopped. We no longer decipher between unedited and altered, genuine and counterfeit, tangible and conceptual, fact and fiction, fake and deepfake,” reads a message at the beginning of the show. “Technology creates alternate realities and identities, a world of digital clones.” Via Balenciaga/YouTube.

You now can wear a full Frankies Bikinis look with the launch of its newest category: shoes! The brand, known for its swimwear and coveted collaborations with Naomi Osaka and Hailee Steinfeld, will release its first-ever collection of footwear on Thursday, June 10 with four styles that will take you from the beach to a night out, including a platform flip-flop straight out of the early 2000s. The L.A. Girl platform is a nod to both Y2K fashion and the brand’s Southern California roots. The stacked platform, which comes in black, white, and a lavender-pink hue, is wrapped in terry cloth with a leather thong and footbed. “This platform is one of my favorite styles we are launching because it is just so much fun and...

Hot pants are nothing new to the world, but with hemlines and mini silhouettes currently (and literally) on the rise in fashion space, super cheeky high-rise shorts seem like an entirely different trend this time around. And the style’s comeback is all owed to young Houston native Tacharra Perry. As the head designer and founder of CHARWorkroom, or CHAR for short, Perry has brought hot pants back to the forefront all while reintroducing herself and the brand to the fashion world again. Even though CHAR has been in the spotlight before for its now-archived cropped fur jackets, it’s the High Cut Cheeky Shorts that are having a major moment right. Made from an exclusive vinyl material with a metallic finish, satin lining, and a...

For me, there’s no better feeling than breaking out my new summer wardrobe when hot weather finally hits. This season is shaping up to be filled with opportunities for seeing and being seen, so I certainly feel the excitement of shopping for some fun new pieces. Beach-inspired jewelry is not a new trend, of course, but it’s one of my favorites to return to when I’m dreaming of long weekends by the water. (Puka shells adorned the necks of just about every teenager in the ’90s, and we’ve seen shells and beads on the runways from Prada to Saint Laurent.) If your usual jewelry look is pretty minimal, layering in some color and organic texture is an easy way to liven things...

While New York Fashion Week this September is shaping up to be the most eventful ever, we’re not quite there yet. Before the fashion crowds return to NYC en masse and Hollywood descends upon the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s steps for the first of two Met Galas, there are the resort collections to see. Unlike in years past when designers have seized upon the cruise moment to present their designs in far-flung resort destinations in front of large crowds, fashion houses are still playing it safe and delivering their creations via short fashion films and inventive lookbooks. Although the digital show format is a convenient, low-key experience for those viewing from their couch, the clothes themselves have become more colorful and daring—suggesting what wardrobes need now, more than...
