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,...

It’s the first day of the new year, and whether you’re reflecting on your resolutions or nursing a hangover, we could all do with a dose of something cheerful to start 2021 off right. And on that, Harry Styles has you covered. The pop star is capping off a year of chart-topping success and Grammy nominations for his sophomore album Fine Line (and, lest we forget, a headline-grabbing Vogue cover) with a surprise video, released earlier today, for his song “Treat People With Kindness.” The black-and-white visual sees Styles as a cabaret star performing in an Art Deco nightclub, decked out in a head-to-toe Gucci look featuring a glittering cropped tuxedo jacket, high-waisted Jazz Age trousers, and a Fred Astaire-worthy sequinned bow tie. It wasn’t just the timing of the...

Gabriela Hearst Named Creative Director of Chloé (VOGUE)

Gabriela Hearst, the Uruguay-born, New York–based designer whose eponymous label turned five this year, is the new creative director of Chloé. CEO Riccardo Bellini welcomed her in a statement this morning. Hearst is the first non-European to hold this post (Natacha Ramsay-Levi’s exit was announced last week). Her craft-forward aesthetic meshes with Chloé’s, but what likely sealed the deal for Hearst was her sustainability bona fides. Last month in an interview with WWD, Bellini indicated that Chloé was seeking B Corporation certification for its social and environmental performance and creating an advisory board to hold the company accountable. “What a brand stands for, its beliefs and values, will become as relevant as products and aesthetics,” he said. For many brands sustainability has become...

Paired with a Von Dutch cap, bug-eye sunglasses, and a Starbucks cup, the style imbued ease, if indifference. It was a time when Instagram didn’t exist, when the Internet was accessed via dial-up, and when street style...
