The Live Hermès Show Will Dance Across the Planet, From New York to Paris to Shanghai (VOGUE)

by cometrend
FASHION
We’ve seen shows streamed around the world to locally curated audiences of claqueurs and influencers—that happened even before COVID—but has a house ever held a single live show across three cities in three continents? If not—and we think not—then Hermès is about to register another first in its 184-year history. Saturday’s Hermès show will kick off at 8:30 a.m. local time in New York before continuing in Paris (not long after 2:30 p.m. local time) then concluding in Shanghai (at approximately 9:50 p.m. local time). This means that this single physical fashion show will last nearly 14 hours (time zone wise) and cover a distance of nearly 21,000 kilometers, yet be entirely digestible in under 30 minutes from your nearest screen, wherever you happen to be. Over a Zoom...

At 24 Years Old, Charles De Vilmorin Is Upending Couture (ELLE)

by cometrend
FASHION
You might not expect an haute couture presentation to begin with a closeup of the designer himself, his face and body daubed with Day-Glo paint, wielding an aerosol can. But Charles de Vilmorin, the 24-year-old French phenom who was the talk of this past couture week, thinks it’s a sign of how the ages-old art is changing. “The fact that my young brand was on the couture calendar,” he says, “is proof that couture wants and needs to change, and be more open and [current]. I think it’s a really good thing.” A hand-painted look from the spring 2021 couture collection. Remote shows can make it hard to convey the minute detailing and intricate embellishments that make the medium what it is. And...

CELEB, FASHION
With two children and a third on the way, actor Hilary Duff knows all about juggling motherhood with a busy work schedule. For the past five months or so, Duff has been in New York City shooting the seventh season of her TV Land series, Younger. But with her due date approaching sometime soon, Duff is now back on mom duty at home in California. “I’m so happy to be back in my backyard in the sun right now, with my dogs,” Duff says over the phone last week. “My hurricane of a daughter is taking a nap and it feels so nice.” In addition to Younger, Duff is also keeping busy with her new collaboration with Smash + Tess, a Canadian loungewear and rompers brand. “I’ve...

The Baby Tee Is Back—With A Twist (ELLE)

by cometrend
FASHION
For musician and artist Jesse Jo Stark, 2020 was supposed to be the year. She’d been touring like crazy to promote her music, which sounds—in truly the best way—like a Creamsicle doused in whiskey and set aflame with a Zippo in a dive bar. She’d created a tiny line of merch called Deadly Doll for her albums; she was planning to finally perform at the music festivals she’d grown up attending as a California teen. And then, of course, the universe said “nope.” “I finally got where I wanted to be,” says the LA native. “I was performing my butt off. I was getting some streaming traction with the songs. I felt so good about the music I was making. And then it just…” she makes a poof sound. She...

Cardi B Rocks One of Fashion’s Most Coveted Indie Labels (VOGUE)

by cometrend
CELEB, FASHION
We are entering a new era of Cardi B, who just released her new song, “Up,” last week. Along with the new record, coming out sometime in 2021, Cardi is here with a bold fresh fashion look, too. She has been dropping some serious fits on Instagram, including a 3-D dress, loads of vintage Dior, and even a Louis Vuitton cocoon coat. But her latest ensemble is one her best posts yet. Earlier today, Cardi opted for a zesty look by Ottolinger that included a strappy bra and high-waisted leggings. The label’s designers, Christa Bösch and Cosima Gadient, have made these types of slinky, strappy pieces their M.O. Typically, the duo drapes every look on the body, using it as a sort of canvas. Stars like...

FASHION
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. Kate and Lila Grace Moss STEPHANE DE SAKUTINGETTY IMAGES In a time when fashion conversations have swung between the poles of the triumph of athleisure and Zoom outfits to mesmerizing socially distant runway videos,...

Checkered Knits Are Taking Over This Spring (VOGUE)

by cometrend
FASHION
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....

by cometrend
CELEB, FASHION
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.

Your Guide to a Minimalist Wardrobe (MARIE CLAIRE)

by cometrend
FASHION
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.

Michelle Obama’s Stylist Spills the Secrets Behind Her Bold Inauguration Look (Harper’s Bazaar)

by cometrend
CELEB, CULTURE, FASHION
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,...
