THE MICRO-MINI SKIRT WILL STILL BE TRENDING IN THE FALL, ACCORDING TO NYFW (NYLON)

ijijj
If there’s anything we learned from the past couple of years, it’s that we’re all swapping our usual closet staples out for early-aughts styles. And according to the Fall 2022 shows at New York Fashion Week, the revival of the micro-mini skirt trend is still going strong. With the rise of “going-out” outfits continuing to take over our wardrobes well into 2022, it seems that we’ll be seeing the super-short silhouette even in the dropping temperatures. So far at New York Fashion Week, we’ve spotted the micro-mini skirt in all styles and fabrics fit for the cold-weather months, like Christian Cowan’s tweed set, Kim Shui’s fuzzy and tiny versions, Dauphinette’s pleated tennis style, and LaQuan Smith’s barely-there take on the trend,...

The Future of Fashion Is Over the Top and Ready for the Metaverse (W Magazine)

hjbb
To read the news over the past few years was to believe that fashion, as both a concept and an industry, had officially given up the ghost. In 2020, the sector posted an unprecedented 93 percent decline in economic profit—the worst year on record—according to the McKinsey Global Fashion Index. First Barneys declared bankruptcy, then Neiman Marcus. Viral stories like “Sweatpants Forever,” in The New York Times—which proclaimed that “even before the pandemic, the whole fashion industry had started to unravel”—read like obituaries for a world in which big-name designers influenced style or set trends. The premise seemed to make sense: Who needs couture gowns, or even trousers with a button, when you spend your Saturday nights doom-scrolling on the sofa...

Are You Ready for This Jelly-Sneaker Trend? (VOGUE)

ffff
Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to reintroduce you to jelly sneakers. If you’re keeping tabs on the never-ending resurgence of ’90s trends, it’s yet another polarizing movement poised for a major comeback this year. Those who grew up in that decade might recall days of running around on the playground in a squishy, see-through pair. But the playful shoe feels all grown up now, thanks to sleek variations that make for cool pairings with suits and spring dresses.
