Big Bags Are Back in a Big Way (W Magazine)

by cometrend
FASHION
On a recent doomscroll through Instagram, a photograph of Jennifer Lopez stopped me in my tracks. And no, it wasn’t a paparazzi shot of her and her ex-slash-current-love-interest Ben Affleck. It was of her lifting a humongous, bubblegum-pink Coach handbag up in the air, an image that was as absurd as it was appealing. Turns out that the New York-based brand, for which Lopez is an ambassador, recently revived its Pillow Tabby shoulder bag in a bunch of happy hues for spring, giving it a larger-than-life makeover in an attention-grabbing campaign that also featured model and actress Camila Morrone and musician Quincy Brown photographed by Juergen Teller.  The mega purse quickly amassed a cult following, with enthusiasts surfing the brand’s website and calling up their local boutiques in...

Remember How Well J.Lo and Diddy Dressed Together? (VOGUE)

by cometrend
CELEB, FASHION
Last week, the internet basked in the reuniting of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Then, P. Diddy (“Sean Combs”) threw his hat into the ring. He posted a throwback paparazzi shot of the duo, presumably taken while they were dating between 1999 and 2001. In the image, the rapper wears a gray Sean Jean sweatsuit with white sneakers while holding a baseball cap and a newspaper, while Lopez wears a white cushy turtleneck, her signature hoops, bootcut faded jeans, and metallic gold sandals with a stack of magazines under her arm. At the height of the second coming of Bennifer, Diddy’s caption was simple: “#tbt”.

THE DESIGNERS DEFINING “GOING-OUT” FASHION’S NEW WAVE (NYLON)

by cometrend
FASHION
The flashy components of an early aughts night-out outfit are instantly recognizable. In case you didn’t fully experience Y2K fashion in its prime (or are feeling nostalgic for it now), a trip down Hollywood memory lane lays it all out: Sex and the City cast mates attending a premiere in cami tanks and dresses; Destiny’s Child-era Beyoncé on the red carpet in sequined pants and a crystal-embellished silk top; tube tops making an appearance on… well, everyone. Then, there was Paris Hilton, hardly ever without a bare midriff, mini skirt, and some see-through element or form of bling. When it comes to the ostentatious display of “going-out” fashion, no time period is without its key identifiers. Party attire can be likened to that of...

Revisit Jean Paul Gaultier’s Most Memorable Moments on the Runway (W Magazine)

by cometrend
CELEB, FASHION
We knew we hadn’t seen the last of Jean Paul Gaultier when he staged his final couture extravaganza last year, half a century into his storied career. At that point, he was six years into his retirement from ready-to-wear and menswear—commitments that had him designing up to 18 collections per year. And these weren’t just any collections; the 69-year-old designer never ceased to live up to his reputation as fashion’s resident enfant terrible. It stretches back to the ‘80s, when he first started “projecting women’s breasts as missile launchers,” as the critic Cathy Horyn once put it, and dressing men in skirts. (All while showcasing his respect and talent for the craft of the métier.) And yet, Gaultier still managed to present his...

This Stylish Couple Caught Rihanna’s Eye and Ended Up in Her New Campaign (VOGUE)

by cometrend
CELEB, FASHION
It’s not every day that you get a cold email from Rihanna’s team—but that’s what happened to Ahmad Kanu and Rahquise Bowen. The New York–based couple and their clean, sleek style caught the superstar’s eye, and they were asked to star together in her first-ever Savage x Fenty Pride campaign, which was released today. “I was mind-blown as soon as I read the email,” says Kanu. “I called my mom immediately, and she yells through the phone, ‘Rihanna from Barbados?!’” It’s easy to see why Rihanna is a fan of the duo, who are both models and full-time content creators. Individually, each has an eye for fashion; their looks are complete with sleek Pyer Moss streetwear and monogrammed Dior bags. “Our styles are based on our...

20 Swimsuit Cover-Ups to Wear to the Beach, Pool, and Almost Everywhere (VOGUE)

by cometrend
FASHION
Putting together the perfect beach or poolside outfit means much more than selecting a bikini or a one-piece. A thoughtfully styled swimsuit cover-up helps to bring the entire look together and makes for an easy transition from the water to whatever you have planned next. The wonders and stylish potentials of the cover-up were certainly evident in Mara Hoffman’s cleverly styled spring 2021 collection, which paired bikini tops with hosiery, and Chanel’s resort 2021 presentation, which made a case for the tiered ruffled skirt as a cover-up. And these are only a few of the many options we have. There are the tried-and-true sarong scarves, the classic linen button-up, and in an unexpected twist, we’re even seeing cardigans from the likes of many swimwear designers. Below, these and more of...

A Brand New Take On Summer Beach Dressing (VOGUE)

by cometrend
FASHION, MAGAZINE
In Vogue’s June/July issue, Hailey Bieber delivers a new take on beach dressing. Think sand-friendly classics like caftans, espadrilles, and straw hats, and then think again! For Bieber’s day at the beach, it’s all about a laid-back luxury rooted in Southern California, but with hints of somewhere more far-flung. We’re sensing a bit of the Caribbean, the Aeolian Islands, and even some earlier era, like, the 1990s? Sure, she’ll wear a preppy gingham bikini, but she’ll pair it with a bohemian beaded skirt. And in lieu of a linen cover-up, Bieber reaches for a graphic checkerboard tee that bursts with color. With no-makeup makeup and wavy hair, Bieber isn’t so much dressed for the beach as she is equipped to simply have it all this...

THE FASHION ESSENTIALS YOU NEED TO DRESS LIKE A POP STAR (NYLON)

by cometrend
FASHION
Today, some of our favorite pop stars still channel that glitzy era of bedazzled apparel, pastel color palettes, and statement accessories. This time around, though, the style comes with a modern twist, whether it’s updating flip-flop platforms with a pair of heeled mules or swapping butterfly clips (RIP) with today’s “It” accessory: a padded headband. But no matter the year or generation, a beloved artist’s stylish aesthetic will likely stand the test of time — or at least live forever on mood boards and among fandoms. Inspired by Olivia Rodrigo’s cover shoot for NYLON’s Music Issue, we gathered up the exact pieces (and some similar recommendations) that she wore for you to channel your own inner pop star, below. We only include...
