16 Items That Went Viral on TikTok This Year (VOGUE)

After spending hours mindlessly scrolling through TikTok’s For You Page, it’s become clear that the app is a serious trend forecaster. TikTok’s predominantly Gen Z users clearly have their finger on the pulse of the latest and greatest products. Even better, they often post candid reviews about what makes a product so damn good (or not so good). So, in honor of the shopping community on the app, we’ve rounded up the best items that went viral on the app this year (and where to shop them). Consider this list below a foolproof shopping guide for the holidays, because not only do all of these items come with stellar reviews, but they have all gotten the TikTok seal of approval—an audience...

2021 TOOK FASHION COLLABORATIONS TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL (NYLON)

Here’s an end-of-year riddle or pop-quiz question for you: When is Balenciaga not Balenciaga? When it’s Balenciaga x Gucci, aka “The Hacker Project.” And when is Versace not Versace? When it’s Versace x Fendi, aka “The Swap.” There’s also Fendi x Skims, recently revealed between the Italian fashion house and Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand; and if that’s not enough, there’s been Gucci x The North Face, Dior x Sacai, and Sacai x Jean Paul Gaultier, and more. If there’s one thing you can say about 2021, it’s that the peak fashion collaboration has reigned supreme. Once, we used to wait with bated breath for H&M to team up with the likes of Viktor & Rolf, Comme des Garçons, Lanvin, Erdem, and Versace for the...

After the many uncertainties of 2020 and 2021, many are looking for signs from any source. The Pantone Color of the Year 2022 is a new shade, Very Peri, one that, according to Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, and Laurie Pressman, the vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, embraces the uncertainty and cautious optimism of our moment. “It is a color that really places the future ahead in a new light,” said Pressman on a Zoom call earlier this week....

The Best Looks From the Pre-Fall 2022 Collections (W Magazine)

Even before 2020, the rhythm of the fashion calendar had been fracturing as some designers broke free from showing within the confines of spring/summer and fall/winter, instead opting to release collections whenever they pleased. Now, all bets are still off—and the pre-fall/cruise seasons are no different. Brands including Fendi, The Row, and even Gucci—which showed its collection with a spectacle of a runway presentation that took place on Hollywood Boulevard and featured over 500 guests—have been putting out their takes on pre-fall since September of this year. We’re following the ongoing releases right here, tracking the latest drops from Proenza Schouler, Chloé, Erdem, (which just released its first menswear line), and more. .

Designer Marco Garro Is Putting Costa Rica on the Fashion Map (W Magazine)

How did the 21-year-old designer Marco Garro go from a small town in Costa Rica, commuting by bus six hours a day to attend fashion school, to dressing the likes of Jorja Smith, Tinashe, and Anastasia Karanikolaou? After launching his namesake label earlier this year with a grit, tenacity, and vibrancy that rivals the patterns used in his colorful clothing, Garro’s work has already caught the eye of many well-known stylists worldwide. But the emerging designer is no stranger to getting noticed. I personally first met Garro three years ago at Hot n Spicy in downtown San José, Costa Rica’s capital city—the go-to party for anyone who dreams of being somebody. Although he stands at only 5’4”, Garro didn’t get lost...

Kim Kardashian’s Balenciaga Era Is a Clean Slate for the Star (VOGUE)

On Tuesday night, Kim Kardashian accepted the Fashion Award at the People’s Choice Awards in California, wearing a body-cinching, corseted black minidress and gigantic galactic sunglasses by Balenciaga. While accepting the award, the contoured jewel of the Kardashian family thanked Kanye West and designers Zac Posen, Riccardo Tisci, and Olivier Rousteing of Balmain. “To Kanye, for really introducing me to the fashion world,” she said. “I fell in love with fashion and I’m so inspired by so many people. But again, this is like a dream that I get to wake up and wear these amazing clothes and try new things and take a risk. I’m so humbled.” Kardashian at the People’s Choice Awards, December 2021.  Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images While we’ve...

Scenes from Art Basel Miami, a Playground of Big Sculptures and Bigger Parties (VOGUE)

People came ready to party at Art Basel Miami. Where else can you spend your days looking at giant art installations and lounging on the beach, and your nights flitting through fêtes hosted by the likes of Chanel, Gucci, Alicia Keys, and Playboy? The first in-person Art Basel Miami since 2019 didn’t lack star power, and photographer Lili Kobielski captured the scene for Vogue. “Overall there seemed to be a pent up demand for fun! The fair and the parties were more packed than I’ve ever seen in my four years covering Art Basel,” she says. Kobielski captured art fans in their natural habitat. Some posed in bikinis with sculptures on the beach; another partygoer wore a large nameplate necklace that simply read “art”...

Of Course Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Winter Coat Game Is Strong (VOGUE)

As far as couple style goes, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have simply got it. Both stars share a wardrobe full of designer gear that leans towards a more casual-cool, streetwear aesthetic. They’ve even coordinated pinks for date night! This weekend in New York, however, we got our first glimpse at how the duo will be channeling that fashion vibe during the winter months. Unsurprisingly, they made bundling up look stylish, thanks to slick coats and stellar accessories. Rihanna hit the streets in an high-fashion ensemble that belongs on the runway: a multicolor puffer coat with a faux-fur trim, a metallic purple skirt, matching below-the-knee Balenciaga boots, and sporty lavender shades. A$AP, meanwhile, kept things more minimal. The rapper wore a checked overcoat with a...
