October 05, 2021 at 09:25PM There was optimism and nostalgia baked into Chanel’s spring 2022 runway, where Virginie Viard paid homage to the glory of the house’s ‘80s and '90s collections and the era of the supermodel, and celebrity guests nodded along as models bopped to a cover of George Michael’s '90s anthem “Freedom.” Indeed, Virginie’s collection was steeped in throwback references - a raised catwalk complete with old-school show photographers snapping the exuberant models making their way down the line, logo-adorned tees and accessories, high-cut swimwear, and purses shaped like iconic No. 5 bottles that all pointed to our current obsession with all things '90s. It was joyful and lighthearted, sexy and fun, complete with pelvic cutouts and Virginie’s reimagining of '90s-era denim. The reimagining, I’m afraid, stops there. While Virginie’s designs tapped into the relevancy of nostalgic trends, giving them contemporary…

October 05, 2021 at 09:05PM I won’t say I’m the biggest TikTok style savant, but as I have poked my way around the app, discovering various closet organization tips and style hacks along the way, one trend in particular has stuck out to me. In order to achieve that classic baggy “mom jean” look that’s so expertly pulled off by Emma Chamberlain, Lori Harvey, and Bella Hadid et al., women are fastening their buttons through the nearby belt loop, thereby scrunching the material at the waistband in order to make too-big pants fit just right. Almost like a paper-bag trouser, the denim is then perfectly cinched at the waist but still loose through the leg. When I happened upon a pair of Mavi jeans that were too big on me - exactly two sizes too big - I knew I had to try…

October 05, 2021 at 08:07PM Even though we’ve been living in a ‘90s-trends-inspired world for a while, dresses that were popular during the decade are sticking around. The good news is they’re being reinvented in new ways that we find particularly flattering. Puff sleeves are bringing volume to breezy, A-line dresses, making them seem even fancier than they were before (of course, you can always dress them down with sneakers). Meanwhile, the minidress will help you amp up the glamour for a night out. Brightly colored knit dresses come in all forms - some in '70s silhouettes with collars and others with cutouts to help you achieve sex appeal. Finally, feminine details such as ruffles and smocking give your outfit a noticeable boost after a year of staying inside. Scroll through all seven dress trends ahead, or jump to the category you wish…

October 05, 2021 at 07:50PM The Chanel of fashion’s past has returned, and I’m not sure who asked for it (just kidding - only me, a millennial, and all of Gen Z), but we can all revel in the results. While a handful of designers had already hopped aboard the train of channeling vintage, namely the early aughts, Chanel had, up until now, remained steadfast in a more contemporary direction. Unbeknownst to us, it was all a lead-up to the Chanel’s Spring ‘22 collection unexpectedly becoming the pinnacle of sartorial nostalgia. With fan-favorite faces such as Adut Akech and Jill Kortleve taking the runway, each section of the 72-look presentation takes viewers on a wild ride of surprises, making it a viable contender for one of the most exciting collections of the season. First, there was swim, which I’d argue we need more…

October 05, 2021 at 07:19PM Paris Fashion Week tends to bring out the biggest and the brightest stars, but few things could shine as bright as Halle Bailey at the Miu Miu show. On Oct. 5, the singer and lead of the upcoming live-action remake of The Little Mermaid stepped out for the brand’s spring/summer 2022 presentation wearing a matching crystallized set that left mouths agape. Styled by Nikki Cortez, Halle’s crop top and skirt had crystals dripping down the sides that matched perfectly with her glistening JéBlanc earrings. She was far from under the sea, but Halle’s fabulously flattering outfit would leave Ursula shaking. Halle’s appearance comes just a few days after her performance of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” at the 50th anniversary celebration of Walt Disney World where she wore a black Elie Saab princess gown. With each of…

October 05, 2021 at 07:15PM Bedazzled denim is the latest trend I didn’t see returning, yet Lori Harvey and Miu Miu are here to prove that it’s not just back, but can look pretty damn good. The model was hard to miss at Paris Fashion Week on Oct. 5, sitting front row at the fashion house’s spring/summer 2022 show. Wearing a modernized take on the sequined jean jackets and studded jeans of the early aughts, Lori’s form-fitting midi dress was subtly coated in glittery rhinestones. As if the dress wasn’t a statement in itself, we couldn’t stop staring at Lori’s matching heels: a Mary Jane number we bet present-day Cinderella would fight for. Bedazzled with Miu Miu’s signature embellishments and a flared heel, it’s unclear how Lori posed for shot after shot in these, walking the cobble-stoned Parisian streets. But there’s no question…

October 05, 2021 at 05:14PM While many looks on the Paris Fashio Week runways took my breath away, it was Cardi B’s various appearances that had all my attention. Not long after giving birth to her second child with husband Offset, the “Up” rapper took to the streets of Paris to turn heads in a series of jaw-dropping, often coordinated looks. From her sparkly red feathered and sequined vintage Thierry Mugler gown to the futuristic and regal Schiaparelli blazer and headpiece ensemble, the singer has kept us on our toes. I would be remiss not to mention her stunning lavender and green Richard Quinn monochrome moments. Clearly, the global superstar never shies away from making a bold statement, earning her place in the high-fashion Parisian scene. Cardi B brought flair and attitude to every single look, giving us a fashion spectacle we’ll always…

October 05, 2021 at 04:46PM Chanel’s spring/summer 2022 collection was presented during Paris Fashion Week at Grand Palais Éphémère on a tall stage reminiscent of ‘80s runway shows where the models were raised above the audience. Their looks, on the other hand, were an ode to the '90s with a throwback to Chanel’s classic black-and-white swimwear clad with chain-link waist belts that younger generations have searched endlessly for on the likes of Depop, The RealReal, and What Goes Around Comes Around. Virginie Viard explained that she was inspired particularly by black-and-white portraits, enlisting famed fashion photographers Inez & Vinoodh to take shots of the house muses (Lily-Rose Depp, Jennie Kim of Blackpink, and Quannah Chasinghorse, who also modeled in the show) holding cameras as a teaser for the event. “Fashion is about clothes, models and photographers. Karl Lagerfeld used to photograph the CHANEL…
