Virgil Abloh, Louis Vuitton Menswear Designer, Passes Away at 41 (W Magazine)

efe
Virgil Abloh, the designer who set out to disrupt fashion and reached some of its highest peaks in the process, has passed away at the age of 41. According to a statement released by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, Abloh had been privately battling cancer for years, a fact not publicly known. Coming to prominence thanks to his close working relationship with Kanye West, whom he met when they both had internships at Fendi in 2009, Abloh founded his own Milan-based label, Off-White, and in 2018 was named artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear. He remains one of the few Black designers to ever occupy the top position at a major Parisian fashion house. “We are all shocked after this terrible news,”...

hyhuki
The early-aughts are back and some say it’s even better than before. The 2000s era has been taking over both our closets and feeds over the last few years, and now we’re diving even deeper into our nostalgia with yet another childhood throwback.

BLACKPINK’S LISA WORE THIS YEAR’S COVETED PELVIC CUTOUTS TREND (NYLON)

frdr
Blackpink’s Lisa has proved to not only be a multitalented musical artist but also a must-watch style inspiration, too. On Sunday, Nov. 22, the K-pop solo star took to Instagram to post her latest outfit from her interview with radio host JoJo Wright for the Los Angeles music station 102.7 KIIS FM. In the photo, Lisa wore a corseted knit top with a center cutout from Vivienne Westwood and denim pants with an asymmetrical pelvic cutout from Korean fashion label Songe Creux, priced at about $368. She also paired her outfit with bracelets from brands like Bvlgari, Veert, and Chrome Hearts, as well as a bejeweled cross necklace from Damiani, and finishing her ‘fit off with a cream-colored shoulder bag.

Love’ Em or Hate’ Em—A Complete Guide to the Ugly Shoe (VOGUE)

jijjh
Ugly shoes: We like ’em clunky, clompy, and clacky. Maybe so big that they can even moonlight as a weapon. Just when we think the tastes bulbous clogs or crunchy kicks are coming to an end, and that we will once again revert back to dainty, pretty strappy heels, they rear their charmingly heinous soles once again. They come in all different shapes and sizes. A Birkenstock in sawdust hues, a Dansko that looks like a legume, and a Balenciaga version of a Vibram FiveFingers that comes with a heel. It doesn’t stop there either: There are Crocs, earthy shoes for the eco-lovers, and of course, Ugg (a name that says it all!) Want an ugly shoe? We’re sure there is one for your beautiful...

At Balenciaga, Demna Gvasalia Rethinks the Traditions of Couture (W Magazine)

UHUHU
“The most personal piece to me was the one in which I did not design anything,” says Demna Gvasalia, speaking from his home in Zurich a little over two months after his debut couture show for Balenciaga, in July, the house’s first in more than 50 years. Like most things with the Georgian-born designer, who has been pushing the boundaries and the buttons of the fashion world for nearly a decade, the statement was a fascinating riddle, both straightforward and enigmatic. In this case, Gvasalia was referring to look No. 63, a wedding dress with a long, circular train and an evenly balanced veil that was an homage to one created by Cristóbal Balenciaga shortly before his retirement, in 1968. It...

The Top Spring 2022 Trends Straight From the Runways (W Magazine)

kjj
The best looks from the spring 2022 runways have been defined by unexpected twists on classic shapes and techniques. The 1960s received major nods, getting the Mod treatment from Courrèges, Fendi, and Dior, while Rodarte and Marni went the flower power route. Catsuits, a trend seen on nearly every celebrity from Kim Kardashian to Dua Lipa and Hailey Bieber, were rendered in luscious black latex at Saint Laurent and Rastafarian colors at Theophilio. The breastplate and heavy metals that accessorized it became a form of defense designers put up against pandemic life. And the pull of the early 2000s remained irresistible, showing up in the form of exposed thongs, super low-rise bottoms, and of course, the micro mini-skirt. Here, your...

Bed on Water Is Fashion’s Mysterious Label to Watch (V Magazine)

ttttttt
When it came time for New York designer Shanel Campbell to photograph her new Bed on Water collection last year, she was faced with limited options. Due to the pandemic, she couldn’t have that many people on set, so she resorted to styling her clothes on mannequins instead of traditional models—a “creepy” choice, she admits, but one that ended up being much more intentional than she first imagined. “[The mannequins] reference this idea of the ‘ideal fashion body,’” says Campbell. “I’m someone who has always struggled with body dysmorphia, and I’ve always been like, Oh, you wish you looked like this mannequin.” She saw a clever irony in displaying her clothes, which she envisions for all body types, on a form that has traditionally perpetuated a...
