Bathing suit season is in full swing, and if you haven’t previously considered picking up a one-piece suit, then consider this your calling. Playful, inventive styling is definitely the new way of dressing, and bathing suits are no exception. Whether it be sportswear mixed with formalwear (see David Koma or Nina Ricci) or underpinnings combined with suiting (see any recent Miu Miu runway show), the more unconventional, the cooler the look. When it comes to swimwear, the one-piece suit makes a great double for a fitted bodysuit. A few styles that make for a super versatile suit are bustier-like underwires, floral appliqués, rash guard silhouettes, or classic scoop necklines, to name just a few. Pair these with flouncy maxi skirts, relaxed...

MERMAIDCORE IS BRINGING BACK THE SEASHELL CHOKER (NYLON)

FASHION
uhuh
Early in the Y2K era, you were hard-pressed to find an American celebrity who wasn’t wearing a shell choker. Chad Michael Murray’s signature look was going shirtless with a puka shell necklace on, and Justin Timberlake wore a shell necklace for his Rolling Stone cover shoot in 2003. After the release of the iconic surfer girl movie Blue Crush in 2002, followed by The OC in 2003, the seashell necklace cemented its place in popular culture — that is, until they were replaced with the long, beaded necklaces and dog-tag-inspired pieces of the late ‘2000s. But now, the shell choker is making a quiet comeback just in time for summer, spotted on the likes of FKA Twigs, Iris Law, Gigi Hadid, and Blake Lively. The return of the shell choker has been...

Today, his highly anticipated first runway show took place at Men’s Fashion Week in Paris. It signaled a new era for the brand, including suit jackets with matching baggy shorts, oversized hats, and digital camo print. Naturally, many of Pharrell’s extremely famous friends were front row at the show — including Beyoncé, JAY-Z, and Rihanna. Pusha-T even rapped during it, while a gospel choir chanted “joy.” Ahead, here are the best front-row looks from your favorite celebrities at Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton debut.

Introducing Givenchy’s Latest It Bag: The Voyou (W Magazine)

by Cometrend Staff
FASHION
ff
If the best accessories serve as punctuation marks, artfully emphasizing the nuances of personal style, then Givenchy’s new Voyou bag is the quintessential exclamation point. Destined to be the “it” style of the season, it intermixes the je ne sais quoi of Parisian elegance with the playful sensibility of a classic California-cool aesthetic. Voyou is a slang term meaning “bad boy” in French, an apt moniker for a bag that pairs complex construction with a contrasting, nonchalant biker vibe. The slouchy hobo silhouette features an adjustable strap, distinctive hardware embellishments, and an interior zippered compartment for all your essentials. Available in mini, medium, and large sizes as well as multiple luxurious fabrications such as subtle-grained leather and satin, it offers a choose-your-own-adventure of individual expression. The Voyou...

The Year in Review: Fashion’s Biggest Moments of 2022 (VOGUE)

Exciting debuts! Supermodel comebacks! Blowout runway shows! If we weren’t quite back to business as usual in 2022, fashion was bigger, louder, and brighter than it’s been since the Before Times. It started on a high note, with Glenn Martens’s astonishing haute couture collection for Jean Paul Gaultier and Matthieu Blazy’s stellar debut at Bottega Veneta. We couldn’t get enough of the star-is-born red carpet style of Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet. And who can forget Rihanna’s baby bump reveal? But the designer exits and advertising controversies of the last few weeks suggest that the pandemic isn’t quite done with us yet. We continue to see its after-effects on independent labels, and consumers, too, have changed, demanding more from the brands they follow and buy, which in turn is inspiring reflection and reevaluation on...

A Deep Dive Into Fashion’s Obsession With Fakes (W Magazine)

by cometrend
FASHION
joj
In 2022, fakeness seems to be fashion’s new reality. Take, for instance, Loewe’s spring 2023 collection, for which creative director Jonathan Anderson looked to artificiality as a source of inspiration. Surreal, sci-fi elements were tacked onto dresses, shoes, and bags. The designer put features of nature and everyday ephemera on full display—like fiberglass anthurium flowers magnified and stuck onto frocks; or blown up, pixelated t-shirts. Models at Puppets and Puppets carried bags affixed with bananas, cookies, and other fake foods that looked hyperreal—and straight off a dinner plate. After what feels like a lifetime of Hermès hauls, luxury “It” bag obsessions, and Old Money content on TikTok, trends have recently skewed in the opposite direction: editors, stylists, and influencers have taken to...

Renowned Japanese artist, Yoshitomo Nara, has joined forces with British luxury house Stella McCartney for the brand’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection. The two creative powerhouses marry their brand ethos’ and individual identities to debut a lively gender-neutral capsule collection that serves as the second chapter to their first collaborative endeavor in 2021. “In our first collaboration, Stella chose which of my artworks she wanted to use and played around with them freely when integrating them into her designs,” shares Nara. “This time, I selected the artworks I wanted her to use and she once again had the freedom to place them as she wished in her pieces.” Using Nara’s work as the collaboration's point of inception, the collection bridges art, fashion, and street...

MadeMe by Erin Magee is widely known as the saucy downtown streetwear brand, capturing the hearts of girls like Lourdes Leon, Paloma Elsesser, and Princess Nokia. Now she’s launched handbags and partnered with an equally radical magazine on the campaign—an international meeting of the minds. The Trinity, a rounded shoulder bag that recalls ’90s Christian Dior shapes, makes its debut in photos in collaboration with Fruits, a street style magazine created in 1997 by photographer Shoichi Aoki that chronicled the wild and experimental looks of Japanese youth in Tokyo’s Harajuku district.

New York-based genderless brand TELFAR has unveiled its second collaboration with Canadian luxury outerwear brand Moose Knuckles. The 24-piece ready-to-wear and accessories collection is a continuation of TELFAR’s first foray into performance-driven outerwear last year. This new collection focuses on creating new weather-resistant silhouettes that embody anonymity: a distinctly New York penchant for getting noticed while minding your own business. Moose Knuckles’ iconic pieces got interpreted through an eye-catching futuristic appeal for all who want to make a statement, stay stealth, and keep warm this season. Creating coats and apparel that allow its wearer to be perceived how they want to was important to the collaboration because “In New York City, coats are basically your car, so if you work for yourself your...

Meet Javier Des Leon, the Body Behind the Body in Those Y/Project x Jean Paul Gaultier Body Morph Looks (VOGUE)

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky—arguably the world’s most stylish couple—were spotted in Barbados last weekend. A toned six-pack peeked out of Rocky’s buffalo-plaid flannel, stealing the spotlight. Except the taut torso wasn’t his but a printed long-sleeve top by Y/Project’s Glenn Martens made in collaboration with Jean Paul Gaultier, featuring a reimagined version of Gaultier’s famous body-illusion graphics of spring 1996. The body behind the body belongs to Spanish model and content creator Javier Des Leon. Yes, that’s all him, baby. Des Leon began his career as a stylist, though, as he told me over Zoom from his flat in Madrid, he soon outgrew that role as he dedicated more of his time to social media. “I started building this character on Instagram,” he said, realizing his skills for modeling, art...
