THE “IT” BAGS OF 2022 SO FAR, FROM DIESEL TO BALENCIAGA (NYLON)

hio
While we can’t believe that we’re more than halfway through 2022, it’s been shaping up to be an exciting year for fashion. Runway shows are back and bigger than ever; collaborations are still going strong with surprise partnerships (Yeezy Gap and Balenciaga, Gucci and Adidas, to name a few); and somehow, Barbie’s signature pink wardrobe has become a massive, widespread style inspiration. In the shopping space, we’re seeing unexpected brands rise to the top, plenty of nostalgic items making a comeback (to no one’s surprise), and, of course, a lot of handbags making it onto everyone’s wishlist. The category still remains one of the most lucrative assets for any fashion brand, so if a certain style goes viral, consider it a very good thing. Ahead, see...

It’s Official: This Is The Dress Style Of The Summer (British VOGUE)

ft
It doesn’t take a fashion expert to see that skin-bearing silhouettes are spiking this season. Following a fallow year (or three) where oversized, covered-up clothing reigned and comfort was king, it seems as though the fashion world has rebelled, taking scissors to their designs (not literally, as far as I’m aware), and slashing and slicing them with abandon. Summer dresses, in particular, have been subject to this treatment, with cut-out styles appearing on the runways of designers such as Proenza Schouler, Nensi Dojaka and Nanushka. But, unlike the infamous “naked dress”, these skin-flashing pieces are, in many cases, totally wearable and undeniably polished. The joy of the cut-out dress lies in the conceal-and-reveal element. Think: a slither of under-boob, a flash...

New season, new fantasies. The next wave of fashion all about pushing limits, and these six designers do just that. From their daring headpieces to playful experimentations with color and texture, the new vanguard of designers are taking fashion in a bold direction, down the path first explored by Off-White's Virgil Abloh. Continuing along Abloh's journey are his imaginative Off-White, sustainable trendsetter Kevin Germanier, fluid storyteller Harris Reed, surrealist Jonathan Anderson, textile explorer Richard Quinn, and couture enchantress Miss Sohee. Each designer is a true visionary, and their work brings fashion's wildest fantasies to life.

The Dress Download: 11 Styles Vogue Editors Are Loving In July (British VOGUE)

fu
What is summer without a gorgeous roster of dresses to rotate around? Well, that’s the opinion of the British Vogue editors, who not only have their own dress style signatures down to a fine art, but who are also often found influencing the purchases of their colleagues and friends. Take European beauty and wellness director, Jessica Diner, whose floral dress collection is now a fully fledged part of her wardrobe DNA, or commerce director, Naomi Smart, who rarely steers away from a body-con midi. But what’s on the agenda for July? Slinky slips that can roll into a carry-on just as easy as they can roll out (because, really, who is still contemplating checking in luggage in the midst of a travelling surge?). Beach restaurant-ready dresses that you can fling over...

Kylie Jenner’s Latest Look Will Have You Sweating (W Magazine)

ftgc
The heat of the summer months has many ditching their heaviest pieces for more comfortable and breezy alternatives. Even latex queen, Julia Fox, has been wearing the fabric less lately (we say less because Fox could never ditch latex entirely, but she has been wearing it in the form of mini skirts and cut out tops as opposed to full body suits and dresses as she has been known to do). Kylie Jenner, though, has decided that July in Los Angeles is the perfect time to breakout her long-sleeve, latex look, and we’re shvitzing just looking at her. The reality star recently stepped out in a very Matrix-esque ensemble for a date night at Craig’s in West Hollywood with her boyfriend, Travis Scott. Ahead...

Kim Kardashian Is On Board With Summer Cargos (VOGUE)

HJNM
If you’re anti-handbag, we’ve got good news for you. Cargo pants—the kind with big, bulky pockets that can store just about anything—are trending on the runway and off. We’ve seen cropped styles at Jacquemus, classic iterations at Lacoste, and shiny satin pants at Tom Ford. If you’re hesitant about the utilitarian (and very Y2K) style, allow Kim Kardashian to serve up some styling inspo: She emerged in New York today wearing a huge cargo pair of her own. Tom Ford spring 2022  Photo: Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com Jacquemus spring 2022  Photo: Courtesy of Jacquemus The star stepped out in a pair of camo-style cargo pants, which had a deliberately baggy fit. To offset the wide-leg silhouette, she paired the hefty trousers with a sleek tank top, and pointed...

Dua Lipa on the Meaning of Butterflies and Her Second Puma Collab (VOGUE)

GYB
Leopard faux-fur hats, silver shining opera gloves, and shaggy knit leg warmers are just a few of Dua Lipa’s recent outfit choices—but her adventurous spirit of dressing goes far beyond that too, expertly matching and melding streetwear with emerging labels and Y2K style. She has also become a muse to designers, walking the runway for Versace and, even more recently, Balenciaga fall 2022 couture. Unsurprisingly, Puma has bought her back for a second Flutur collaboration, featuring her signature playful aesthetic. This time around, the collection includes more than 30 pieces featuring pastel pink hues mixed with holographic stripes. Vivid purples and oranges with accent colors like green really shine, and the striped maxidresses evoke the sporty athleisure side of Lipa’s unique style. Lipa is adamant that each and every item easily...

How Iris Van Herpen Reshaped Couture for a New Generation (W Magazine)

ji
During a hot summer afternoon at the Élysée Montmartre theater in Paris, the Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen tinkers with the last few stitches of her fall 2022 couture collection, one day before the show is slated to debut on July 4th. But instead of reworking a piece of traditional embroidery or tailoring an uneven hem, Van Herpen is looking over 3-D printed fibers made from cocoa beans that form a jumpsuit with copper-coated details and upcycled organza. In another corner, a team inspects wing-like 3-D printed shoes, while others ensure a futuristic gown made of bananas that were turned into biodegradable fabric and combined with raw silk is ready for its big runway debut. It all may seem like...

Dua Lipa Nails Festival Dressing in KNWLS BY ALEX KESSLER (VOGUE)

ji
Glastonbury and Coachella might be over, but there are still plenty of major live music events to come this summer. So it stands to reason that festival fashion is a trending topic. And Dua Lipa’s latest boho-chic look is right on the money. The 26-year-old pop sensation documented an outfit perfect for a weekend of music and debauchery in the sunshine on her Instagram feed. The ensemble consisted of a purple sheer long-sleeve dress with matching fluffy leg-warmers, a black cat ear beanie hat, and a snakeskin-embossed leather shoulder bag, all of which are by emerging London label, Knwls. Dua topped off the look with silver hoop earrings, as well as black sunglasses and trainers by Balenciaga.   . . Originally posted from "VOGUE" by Alex Kessler...

Barbiecore Is Quickly Becoming the Trend of the Summer (W Magazine)

hnm
Ever since it was announced that Greta Gerwig would be taking on the world of Barbie in a film about the Mattel character, (and tapped real-life doll Margot Robbie for the title role,) the Internet has been devouring every piece of content and news around the project. Photos from the set, featuring Robbie in a hot pink Western-esque getup went viral quicker than you can say “let’s go party,” and now it seems like the color and aesthetic of the doll of the moment are taking over fashion. Lately, every red carpet features a Barbie-pink look, and it’s hard to scroll through Instagram without feeling like you’re walking the aisles of FAO Schwartz. If the summer of 2021 was a time for Goth, emo, and...
