Breaking Down the Green Trend Sweeping the Fashion World (W Magazine)

    The timing of these enormous fields of green is worth noting: the world is still in a pandemic, but businesses are opening back up—even more intriguing is the fact that trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort predicted green would be the color of 2021, way back in 2019. Of course, Pantone also named the shade “Leprechaun 18-6022” as a leading color for its Fall 2021-2022 NYFW Color Forecast in February 2021, calling it a tribute to “the fun side of nature.” At the center of all the greenness is Bottega Venta, which has chosen a bright, flat, and almost shockingly pigmented Kelly green for its packaging, including the aforementioned shopping bags—in addition to its spring 2021 clothing and accessories. On the brand’s runway, there were tailored coats...

SUMMER KNITWEAR IS HAVING A MOMENT AND WE’RE SHOPPING THE TREND NOW (NYLON)

Summer knitwear may seem like an oxymoron but trust us, there’s a lot to be said for this major warm-weather trend. As cozy dressing monopolized winter and quarantine fashion in the form of coordinating sets and bra tops, sweater weather has taken on a new meaning and this year, it’s not just limited to the colder months. From knitted swimsuits and skirts to sweater cover-ups and dresses, knitwear is slowly becoming a summer staple, too. Crochet pieces have also become a favorite on the Spring 2021 runways, as major brands like Bottega Veneta, Acne Studios, Fendi, and Gabriela Hearst featured summer-friendly knits in the form of dresses, rompers, skirts, tops, and shorts. Some styling tips included doubling down on the trend with a crochet...

GIVENCHY SPRING 2022 PRE-COLLECTION (V Magazine)

Givenchy has released its Spring 2022 Pre-Collection women's and men's ready-to-wear line. This pre-collection is a fusion of two cultures, in an ode to both America and France. "In my collections, I always speak to lived reality.

MOSCHINO BROUGHT BACK KATY PERRY’S MET GALA BURGER DRESS FOR RESORT 2022 (NYLON)

Moschino unveiled its Resort 2022 collection on Tuesday, and Creative Director Jeremy Scott included a few food-inspired runway looks, from an actual hotdog dress (modeled by Stella Maxwell) to a frock resembling melted ice cream with sprinkles, complete with a very literal cone bra. Scott also included some revamped versions of his most recent viral design to date: Katy Perry’s famous burger dress, which she wore to the Met Gala afterparty in 2019.  The meme-worthy look was updated into a skirt for Scott’s newest collection, paired with matching burger earrings and a hoodie with a Moschino Couture burger logo. He also turned it into a skirt suit, accented with lettuce, tomato, and condiments, along with a burger headpiece.The OG burger dress made...

It’s Time To Get a Luxurious Baseball Cap. Just Ask Rihanna, Katie, Hailey, and Kim (VOGUE)

Putting on a hat is one of the easiest ways to add visual interest to an outfit. Fuzzy bucket hats, embellished Stetsons, and patterned pageboys are currently trending with celebrities, but don’t underestimate the power of the humble baseball cap. Nearly everyone has the MLB staple somewhere in their closet, and most keep their outfits sporty when wearing them. The new take on the look is to contrast the casual headgear with otherwise dressy fashions, as evidenced by Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, and Emily Ratajkowski. When Kardashian headed out for dinner last night in Rome, she could have worn her John Galliano for Dior cherry slip dress with a fascinator or beret. Instead, the reality star paired her luxurious vintage find with Idea Plant’s “Seeds”...

Marc Jacobs Ushers in American Fashion’s Full-Fledged Comeback (W Magazine)

For years now, Marc Jacobs has marked the grand finale of New York Fashion Week with the final slot on the official calendar. Of course, things have changed over the course of the past year—making the designer’s IRL comeback more major than ever. (And that’s saying something, given how his last show, in February of 2020, casually featured Miley Cyrus amongst the models.) On Monday night, at the New York Public Library’s Fifth Avenue main branch, the designer staged New York’s first full-fledged major fashion show in over a year; as the New York Times’s Vanessa Friedman noted, it was even non-socially distanced—complete with hugs and kisses. Many models did, however, wear face coverings, in the form of puffer snoods that stretched down their...

I Can’t Get Enough of Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian’s Red-Hot Couple Style (VOGUE)

Like much of the internet, I’m obsessed with Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s PDA-filled relationship—down to the thumb-sucking video posted on Instagram. As a sign of how hot and heavy this relationship is, they’ve naturally started syncing their styles. Kourtney has been wearing way more black, dressing in punkier, sexier outfits like leather shorts with matching cuissards, an itty-bitty silk black dress with a cutout at the stomach, or a T-shirt emblazoned with “suck” and “bite.” Barker’s style is more simple—he often wears a cutoff graphic T-shirt and a pair of low-slung black jeans—but has the same rude vibe. MALIBU, CA - MARCH 19: Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are seen at Nobu on March 19, 2021 in Malibu, California. (Photo...

These Are the Best Summer Handbags Under $200 (VOGUE)

The easiest way to make your outfits feel a little fresher is to swap out your accessories. Something as small as a pair of sunglasses, crafty jewelry, or a bucket hat can instantly transform a sundress or short set each time you wear it. And, luckily, there’s no shortage of summer handbags, baubles, and bits that won’t cost you a whole paycheck. This season’s assortment of handbags falls in the $200-and-under sweet spot and comes in timeless materials and silhouettes to be worn summer after summer. From woven and raffia top handle bags and crossbodies to beach-ready totes and netted, beaded bags, these styles were made with summer in mind. See Marni Market and Muun’s colorful totes or Ines Bressand and Bembien’s for their beautiful takes on leather detailing with...

Lady Gaga’s Travel Outfit Is a Fashion Sugar Rush (VOGUE)

@ladygaga/Instagram We all know that Lady Gaga is capable of pulling off the most outré, high-concept fashion moments imaginable. Who can forget her four-part, camp-themed extravaganza of a look at the 2019 Met Gala, or the time she arrived at the Grammy awards in a giant egg? But spare a thought for her off-duty style, too. Whether she’s wearing a sleek all-black look and toting a Celine handbag, or trying something a little more playful, like a rainbow Versace jacket and jean shorts, her relaxed looks are also worth noting. Gaga’s latest outfit, which she posted to Instagram earlier today, certainly leans towards the latter category. Taking a selfie on a private airplane while en route to New York City, Gaga sported a camp collar shirt and bucket hat over a white bandeau top, paired...
