KALI UCHIS & LOLA LEON ARE Y2K FASHION TWINS IN NEW OBSESIÓN DENIM CAMPAIGN (NYLON)

huhloi
After launching Bodied by Uchis in the fall of 2021, Kali Uchis is bringing the heat back this summer with the second drop for her inclusive clothing brand. This time, she’s tapping into the world of early-aughts denim trends and more. The “Telepatía” singer’s upcoming release, titled Obsesión, expands her fashion line with quality pieces made out of raw denim that take inspiration from her love for Latinas and the ‘90s. (Though, from the low-rise styles and raw-hem waists, we’re seeing a hint of Y2K fashion, too.) In celebration of the collection, Uchis has brought out a familiar style star rising on our radar, taking model (and daughter of Madonna) Lola Leon along for the ride — quite literally.

12 Corset Tops to Wear This Season (W Magazine)

uh
Corset tops—long associated with Renaissance Faires, period films and prim Victorian fashions—have become a stand-out staple of the contemporary wardrobe. Who would’ve thought that what was once considered an outdated, constrictive garment would be reclaimed as an article of self-expression for all genders? Our top picks for this summer implement classical details that have been remixed with contemporary touches: Miaou takes a sweet tangerine toile and freshens it up with simple spaghetti straps, meanwhile Vivienne Westwood adds cotton poplin shirting material to a structured bodice. If you want to go with something a little more daring, why not try a crystal embellished cage from Area or va-va-voom styles by Honey Birdette? Pair any of these with loose, low-rise jeans or...

Cult Buy: Conner Ives’s Upcycled T-Shirt Dresses Are A Vogue Editor Essential (British VOGUE)

ftb
Conner Ives has been a name of note for some time. The American-born, London-based designer tallied some major career moments before even graduating from Central Saint Martins and his fashion trajectory has ascended ever since. Dressing Adwoa Aboah for the Met Gala in 2017 kickstarted his global exposure, but it was Rihanna who really got the wheels turning. The singer was an early fan of Ives’s deconstructed T-shirt dresses, which remain a brand signature to this day, and recruited him as one of the inaugural members of her Fenty design team.

Working with the oversized fits of the...

JACQUEMUS IS NIKE’S NEXT DESIGNER COLLABORATION — UPDATE (NYLON)

hin
Nike has teamed up with Jacquemus for its latest designer collaboration. The upcoming collection will fuse sport with women’s fashion and is slated to drop this summer. The global sportswear brand has partnered with plenty of high-fashion names in the past, including Off-White’s Virgil Abloh, Sacai, Marine Serre, Ambush’s Yoon Ahn, and more. But its collaboration with Jacquemus is a special one, as the highly-anticipated women’s collection coincides with Nike’s 50th anniversary this year.“Sport was always super important in the Jacquemus DNA. But as Jacquemus grew, the Jacquemus girl changed — she got heels! ” creative director Simon Porte Jacquemus told Vogue.com in an interview. “I always said to myself, if one day I do a collaboration, it will be with Nike.” The...

Y/PROJECT’S FEVERISH GAME IN SPRING/SUMMER 2023 (V Magazine)

gu
Since last season’s collaborative efforts with Jean Paul Gaultier, followed by being a guest designer for the maison’s couture presentation and then causing an uproar with a knockout Diesel ready-to-wear runway, it’s been an excellent year for Glenn Martens. Creative director since 2013, Martens has helmed Y/Project as an outlet for experimentation, where we see the manipulation of denim, subversive hems, and slouching boots. Described as a “game between the real and the fake,” Martens takes the Y/Project consumer on a whimsical yet methodic journey. There’s an itch that Martens always seems to satisfy - including Gen Z’s obsession with Y2K; he never fails to emphasize a sense of playfulness throughout the coed collection: This time around, trompe-l’oeil is here to stay...

THE 7 GOING-OUT TOPS TAKING OVER YOUR SUMMER WARDROBE (NYLON)

ftf
Summer is in full swing and so are our weekend plans, which means it’s time to stock up on the latest going-out top trends for all of our nightlife-ready outfits. This season, we’re seeing a spate of two contrasting themes in this particular fashion space: party vixen styles and more romantic-leaning blouses. In the mix, we have corset tops, which have been a crucial part of women’s fashion since the 16th century but have garnered a resurgence due to Bridgerton fans, a Gilded Age-themed Met Gala, and Kravis’ summer goth nuptials. Cottagecore can’t help but seep into summer style yet again and, from what we can tell, prairie tops are reigning supreme this season. Of course, countless Y2K trends are suddenly cool again, so halter tops and wispy, ruffle blouses will...

Bella Hadid Arrives in the Metaverse With a New Line of NFTs (VOGUE)

fufj
Everyone wants a piece of Bella Hadid. Now, thanks to a new NFT (non-fungible token) platform called CY-B3LLA, they’ll be able to grab one, albeit in a modern, somewhat strange way. In collaboration with reBASE, a social metaverse site, Hadid is releasing a massive range—11,111 unique works, to be exact—of shoppable online art pieces based on her own image. These NFTs are digital assets, essentially cybernetic souvenirs or collectibles. It’s also more than just having the JPEG saved on your desktop: you receive a digital record (essentially a serial number or certificate of authenticity) that proves that you and only you purchased this specific asset. Hadid asked 10 different creatives to make art out of 3D scans of her own body, including...

Vintage To Vogue: 6 Summer Staples That Look Even Better Second-Hand (British VOGUE)

jijh
The world of second-hand and vintage fashion has been on a bit of a rollercoaster over the last few decades. Once the reserve of cash-strapped art students and west London bohemians, hunting out pre-loved clothing was very much a niche pastime that had no place in the mainstream fashion market. The average vintage-hunter would typically be found scouring antique stores and charity shops in obscure parts of the country for their next hidden gem – not exactly what you’d call accessible. Then, along came e-commerce. From Gen Z-ers selling their wares on Depop to rural bricks and mortar businesses connecting with new audiences on Instagram, suddenly the world of second-hand was blown wide open. “Second-hand is now second nature”, says Rachel Reavley, advisory board...
