May 17, 2022 at 09:20PM Lori Harvey just executed this year’s Met Gala theme at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. Harvey hit the red carpet at Palais Des Festivals in a commanding strapless ballgown that exuded “Gilded Glamour.” The ruffled gown, which is Look 40 from Alexandre Vauthier’s Spring 2020 Couture Collection, featured a frayed bodice wrapped in layers of spooled ribbon and held together by a shimmering diamond brooch on the left hip. The voluminous skirt flared in tiers of buttery-yellow ruffles framing Harvey’s waist, reaching down to an inch above the red carpet to give us a glimpse of her pointed gold heels. She styled the look with a layered Messika Paris diamond necklace, earrings, and rings. In a sea of suits and breezy maxi dresses, Harvey illuminated the red carpet, keeping firm focus on the whimsical…

May 17, 2022 at 09:02PM Over 65 percent of the world’s clothes are manufactured in China, yet a “Made in China” label is often met with disdain or skepticism. The stigma behind the phrase is still so common, particularly in the US, that a 2020 survey of more than 1,000 US adults found that 40 percent won’t buy products made in the largest textile exporter in the world. Despite rapid advancements in China over the past few decades, stereotypes about the Chinese manufacturing industry abound, linking it to exploitative labor practices, complex trade relations with the US, and mass-produced fast fashion. Shoppers continue to assume goods made in China are of poor quality and prefer manufacturing in the West or any other Asian country. Yet the truth is, while not marketed widely, the majority of luxury fashion houses like Prada, Balenciaga, and Coach…

May 17, 2022 at 08:45PM Gucci’s creative director Alessandro Michele staged his 2023 Cruise runway show in Puglia, Italy, on May 16, inviting several friends of the brand. Among them, Jodie Turner-Smith posed in head-to-toe Gucci: she wore a pair of eye-catching wide-leg sequin pants with vertical red and black stripes styled with a sultry halter-neck and cutout bodysuit in peach lace. The lingerie-style garment was layered underneath a python-print leather trench coat with contrasting red lapels trimmed with black leather and silver studs. The British actress completed her look with Gucci’s Blondie bag in navy suede and a pair of pointy black pumps. Other accessories included a pair of geometrical earrings, a gold choker with blue stone details, and a couple of rings.

May 17, 2022 at 08:40PM Pearls have seen a resurgence in recent years, thanks in no small part to the prevalence of period dramas and the cottagecore movement. The TV shows and romanticized lifestyle trend have underscored the nostalgic mood that’s taken over fashion lately, especially as people emerge from the pandemic. More and more, pearls are being incorporated into day-to-day looks, rather than being strictly reserved for costumes or special occasions. Enter the pearlcore aesthetic, which refers to embellishing garments and accessories with pearls. Pinterest referenced it in its 2022 business report after noticing a spike in search traffic for pearl gowns, pearl wedding decorations, and pearl-themed parties. Around the world, and particularly in Australia, people were also looking up pearl bracelets, pearl chokers, and pearl nails to enliven their looks. The report predicted what we’re now currently seeing, stating, “In 2022,…

May 17, 2022 at 08:05PM Miley Cyrus has been making the case for Y2K fashion lately. Her bleached shag with dark brown undertones is straight out of the Myspace era, and she was spotted on the streets of New York this past weekend in leopard prints and a lingerie-inspired mini dress. On “Late Night With Seth Meyers” on May 16, she paid homage to the early 2000s again in a vintage Alexander McQueen dress made of 100% silk. The McQueen piece, which initially debuted on the 2004 runway, features a midi-length, bias cut silhouette and a scalloped hem. Its original design had cape-like flutter sleeves Cyrus opted not to include. Instead, spaghetti straps dawned from ruched cup details accented by a bow in the center of the bodice. A silk cowl draped over the fitted corset details, adding a modest touch to the…
