Kim Jones presented his first haute couture collection for Fendi in his new role of artistic director of womenswear for the Rome-based brand—and it was a true fashion spectacle. Original supermodels Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Christy Turlington walked alongside new supers Bella Hadid and Adwoa Aboah, as well as Farida Khelfa and Lila Grace Moss (daughter of Kate), while Demi Moore wore the first look out. But the show wasn’t about creating social media buzz so much as exhibiting the quietly beautiful creations Jones offered for his debut.

So, where did all these checkers come from? I first started noticing this trend at the beginning of the year, while aimlessly scrolling on Instagram. Every day, it seems a new brightly colored, geometric piece would pop up on my Explore page. I was being hounded by the squares, but I didn’t really mind as I double-tapped each photo I came across. From small, independent brands to big-name fashion houses, labels of all kinds agree that it’s all about checkers. The print has ebbed in and out of fashion for a while, popping up every few years. Ever since Vans released its checkerboard slip-ons back in the early 1980s, the print has become associated with a grungy skater look in particular....

The spring 2021 season was uncharted for the fashion industry. Many brands, from New York and London to Milan and Paris, utilized video and social media channels to present their collections, forgoing the traditional in-person runway presentations. It was an inventive time for many designers and their teams. And it appears that all those creative juices kept on flowing, seeping into their ad campaigns. Here, we track the best of the best from a wild and wonderful season.

Raise your hand if you had a Marie Kondo closet-purge moment at any point in the last six months. Yup, me too. If there's one thing to take from this dumpster fire of a year we just had, it's the idea of a stripped-back wardrobe. It's finally 2021, and as we ease back into getting dressed I suggest going back to the basics and leaving over-the-top fashion behind. Minimalism doesn't have to be boring or break the bank—it's all about purchasing classic items and elevated basics that will never go out of style. From splurge-worthy coats to affordable luxe sweaters, here are the pieces to get you started. 1) Classic Coat Christian VierigGetty Images A classic trench coat is a wardrobe must-have. This iconic item is never going out of...

Fashion icon and former First Lady Michelle Obama attended the Biden-Harris Inauguration on Wednesday, showing her support for the new administration's highly-anticipated and historic day. When it came to her outfit, Obama did not disappoint, donning a magenta-colored jacket with matching monochromatic turtleneck sweater and wide-leg trousers. She completed the chic look with a gold belt, black leather gloves, a simple Christy Rilling black silk mask, and suede block-heeled boots by Stuart Weitzman; she wore her hair down in bouncy curls for the occasion. Obama's outfit was designed by Sergio Hudson, a Black designer from South Carolina who also dressed the Vice President-elect on Wednesday. Hudson explained on The Bakari Sellers Podcast that Obama's outfit was inspired by a look from his Fall '20 collection. "We did the pants instead a dress,...

If you feel like you're in a constant state of lockdown fatigue—bogged down by the news cycle, uncertainty around the pandemic, and staying at home—you are far from alone. "Feeling apprehensive / hopeful / exhausted / hitting that pandemic wall. You?" wrote Padma Lakshmi on a recent Instagram post, summing up our collective mood these days. As we near month ten of social distancing in the throes of winter, the burnout is all too real. While nothing changes the current realities of the pandemic, gaining a deeper understanding of what's at play with this gradual, paralyzing feeling of lethargy—and how best to cope with it—can be helpful in powering through. Here, environmental psychologist Lee Chambers, whose practice focuses on wellbeing at work, breaks...

Fashion in 2020 has taken a turn. We traded in heels for slippers and dressed up to go nowhere. Designers reimagined the spring-summer 2021 season into digital presentations, masked events, staged runways, or opted out of showing altogether. Those that did were creative, but the successful collections were the ones empathetic to both the devastating and joyful events that occurred in quarantine. "I wanted to focus on the essence of things," creative director Anthony Vaccarello said in the press release for Saint Laurent's Summer21 collection, which premiered today. "I think it’s a sign of the times, but I didn’t want anything bleak or heavy." In a stunning video comprised of 66 looks, Vaccarello traded in the twinkling stage of the Eiffel Tower for the desert of North...

VALENTINO’S CHOICE: As the coronavirus pandemic continues to sweep over Europe and countries reinforce temporary restrictions to curb it, the house of Valentino said Monday that its couture collection, called Code Temporal, will be revealed digitally on Jan. 26 at 3 p.m. CET. It will consist of a presentation conceived by creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli in a dialogue with British artist, musician, singer and songwriter Robert Del Naja, also known as 3D, and founding member of the band Massive Attack. Piccioli selected Galleria Colonna, Sala Grande, in Rome, to highlight Valentino’s couture collection. The Baroque Palazzo Colonna dates back to the 14th century. As an added asset, Valentino will present a film created by Del Naja. The artist filmed some of the steps involved in developing the couture collection and...

Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada’s first joint menswear collection has finally been revealed. Nearing a year since the Belgian designer was first announced as Prada’s co-creative director, the pair today debuted their Fall/Winter 2021 collection with a short film, followed by another post-show Q&A, live from the house’s Milan headquarters. Entitled “Possible Feelings”, the live-streamed show featured furry textured walls and carpets which were accompanied by a plethora of dynamic models sporting mod-esque slim-fit suits, striking haircuts and an abundance of Raf Simons-inspired looks. If the pair’s first joint womenswear collection was said to demonstrate a fine balance between classic Prada and distinctive Raf, this first menswear offering is almost certainly more Raf-orientated. The epochal Prada logo that adorned much of last season’s women’s collection has been portrayed in the form of...

Upcycling Brand Nereja Makes Vintage Furs New Again (VOGUE)

As temperatures grew colder in Moscow this past November, Vogue Russia’s executive fashion director Sveta Vashenyak began her hunt for a fur jacket. Vashenyak had been searching for an already worn fur coat, but each vintage coat had something stylistically wrong with it. “They all had these huge sleeves and big shoulders,” she says over Zoom. “And in Russia, we have these huge buttons.” Eventually, she found a long, light brown mink coat from a vintage fur specialty store outside of Moscow. She brought it to the tailor and had it altered. Gone was the “ugly collar and huge shoulders,” and then what was once considered a babushka coat now looked like something more from The Row. After receiving compliments from friends,...
