The Big Designer Brands Bringing New Life to Old Clothes

November 14, 2021 at 06:00AM As Chanel’s glossy-haired models hit the S/S 22 runway, the soaring melody of George Michael’s “Freedom! ‘90” blasted out of the speakers, and the densely packed photographers that lined the runway snapped away. With big shoulder pads, glittering tweed and jewellery dripping in the brand’s interlocking-C insignia, it felt as though we had been transported back to one of Chanel’s iconic 1980s runway shows. “I used to love the sound of flashbulbs going off at the shows in the eighties, when the models were on a raised runway,” mused Chanel’s creative director, Virginie Viard, in the show notes. “I wanted to recapture that emotion.” The headline was clear: Nostalgia is big news. Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture S/S 02The world of luxury fashion is no stranger to vintage style.

Every Celebrity Picture I Look At Right Now Features This One Pair of Flat Shoes

November 14, 2021 at 06:00AM Loafers might not sound like the most exciting footwear choice, however over the past week I have noticed that they are not only the most popular shoe this winter, but they’re becoming a solid red carpet choice. Maybe it’s all that time out of heels, but the likes of Little Simz and Dakota Johnson are swapping stilettos for loafers. When it comes to the style, there are two camps here. Either celebrities are opting for a really chunky track sole, which helps to toughen up dainty or overly pretty looks. I’m also spotting lots of patent pairs with chain detailing across the foot. Of course you can’t talk about loafers without mentioning Gucci, and the likes of Dakota Johnson have been wearing the horsebit loafers in brown leather.Keep scrolling for the celebrity outfits we love below, and shop our…
