MICHAEL KORS SPOTLIGHTS GLITZ, GLAMOUR AND A FAMED ARCHIVE FOR ITS 40TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION (V Magazine)

vm7211
The city that never sleeps—New York, NY. Its sidewalks, once again, teem with the hustle and bustle of yesteryear, a 24/7 buzz of energy. As we crawl out of our year-long hibernation and venture for our first night out in what seems like an eternity, Michael Kors debuts eye-catching looks perfect for just that. In honor of its 40th anniversary, the renowned fashion house unveils a 15-piece capsule and a ritzy series of images in ode to the Big Apple for Fall/Winter 2021. “When I look back over 40 years, I think about all the amazing memories, energy and fabulous people that New York City has brought to my life and my career,” says Michael Kors. “This collection, and this campaign,...

The Best Fashion in Normani and Cardi B’s “Wild Side” Video (W Magazine)

721
There was never any doubt that Normani and Cardi B’s latest music video, for their new single “Wild Side,” would be a moment. For starters, Normani made a brief but memorable appearance in “WAP,” channeling Naomi Campbell in a houndstooth homage to early 1990s Alaïa. And then, of course, there was the music-video milestone that Normani made without Cardi, who’s at this point practiced at breaking the internet: “Motivation” was such a highlight that People felt compelled to enumerate exactly how many days since Normani premiered it (apparently a full 700). The glorious cover art that the pair dropped in the hours earlier suggested that the focus would be not on fashion, but beauty: The most both Normani and Cardi wore were translucent underwear and...

Cartier’s Latest High Jewelry Collection Appeals to the Senses (W Magazine)

7211
A piece of fine jewelry or classic investment timepiece is never just an accessory—there’s always a rich story behind it. In W’s new series Rock Stars, we delve into what makes past, present, and future heirlooms so unique. I’ve always thought of myself as someone who is pretty resistant to lust. Level-headed, detail-oriented, not particularly romantic (a Virgo through and through), I tend to be attracted to substance before beauty, and disinterested in flash. That’s why I was surprised the first time I fell head over heels for a piece of jewelry. Caught off guard by my own awe in the presence of a shimmering set of stones, I said to my companion, “I feel like such a cliché right now.” I was a woman bewitched...

IT’S ALL ABOUT CORSETS (V Magazine)

vm721
There is a huge misconception that comes with corsets. Films that take place between the 16th to 19th century have influenced our judgment of how we perceive corsets and most think that they cause an immense amount of pain, are organ crushers, and were used as an oppressive tool by men. We watch exaggerated depictions of maids tying up corsets on their wealthy ladies until they can’t breathe, think of Gone With the Wind’s Scarlett O’Hara death-gripping a bedpost. In actuality, corsets were never intended to hurt a woman’s body, but to enhance her natural curves. In today’s world, that misconception still exists but women are changing the narrative by exuding a sense of power while wearing a corset instead of restriction. The woman is...

ED HARDY’S INEVITABLE RETURN IS FINALLY HERE (NYLON)

NY721
They say hindsight is 20/20. And as the early aughts slip firmly into our cultural rearview mirror, it seems as though we’re finally gaining some perspective on and collectively reconsidering the decade. As Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Megan Fox have all recently demonstrated, there’s much more to the pop culture phenomena of that era than initially met the eye. That goes likewise for one of the decade’s most infamous fashion labels: Ed Hardy. For those older than 25, that name likely conjures imagery of rhinestones, studs, clashing neon prints, and more than a few midlife crises. But under the guidance of Creative Director Kevin Christiana, over the last two years, Ed Hardy has managed to find renewed popularity amongst Gen Z shoppers simply by returning to...

I Own Too Many Shoes, and the Trendiest Summer Ones Are From a Jill Biden-Approved Brand (InStyle)

is720
We're well underway this Shot Girl Summer, and the fashion we're seeing — whether it be on the streets of New York, the grocery store aisle in Ohio, or the Instagram pages of our favorite celebs — is proving that the previous year spent indoors inspired some seriously outrageous and eye-catching trends. My favorite? The extremely high platform heels that the likes of Ariana Grande and President Olivia Rodrigo have been spotted in. Speaking of the presidency, the one place you can go to for the cutest of these summertime shoes has the approval of Dr. Jill Biden. Usually, when you think of first ladies, you don't associate them with sky-high platforms that are practically begging to be worn to boozy brunches and nights on the town, but Larroudé,...

In J.W. Anderson and SKIMS, Hailey Bieber Demonstrates a Summer Trends Update (W Magazine)

wm7200
Hailey Bieber spent a casual sunny weekend alongside her husband Justin Bieber, but also managed to give a masterclass to those still considering wading into summer style trends. The model shared a slideshow of photos on Instagram that are equal parts paradise reverie and a how to in elevating campy accessories into sartorial harmony. In the photos, Bieber is playfully donning a sleeveless green knit tank top from J.W. Anderson’s Resort 2022 collection. It features a charming strawberry print — a delicious summer mainstay that will never go out of style — and Bieber’s version extends past her waist, making for a perfect swimsuit cover-up piece. She paired it with yellow high-top Nike sneakers and now-ubiquitous throwback corduroy bucket hat in a sweet buttercup yellow. To top off...

At Valentino Couture, an Exquisite Showcase of Color and Art (W Magazine)

wm720
Couture seasons of fashion week can feel relatively sleepy, but everyone seems to have turned it up a notch for fall 2021. Pierpaolo Piccioli’s latest for Valentino, for example, was such a hit that Twitter users could only express their emotions through extremes like “I am on my knees,” “Pierpaolo just gets it,” and “I can’t believe I get to exist at the same time as Pierpaolo Piccioli.” The collection was Piccioli’s couture at its finest: elegance, by way of unconventional hues and silhouettes in shapes like fully round circles. For the second time, they also appeared on men—just one of the ways Piccioli is changing traditional haute couture. He decamped from Paris to Venice, and collaborated with more than a dozen artists—and...

Bella Hadid Brought Back the Y2K Graphic Tee Trend in an Ed Hardy Shirt (InStyle)

ny7200
With the graphic tee trend of the early '00s officially in full swing, it was only a matter of time before Ed Hardy shirts made a return. Before falling off the radar in 2009, Ed Hardy was worn by just about everyone from Paris Hilton to Britney Spears (Chrissy Teigen even modeled the brand's bathing suits), and now the tattoo-inspired graphic T-shirts are finding their way back into our closets. Just ask Bella Hadid, who was spotted on a coffee run in New York City with her new boyfriend, art director Marc Kalman, wearing a vintage Ed Hardy tee. She teamed the shirt with low-rise white pants with zips on the side and the phrase "Punk Queen" emblazoned across the butt. She finished off the look with...
