Time is a Construct at Gucci’s Cosmogonie Show

May 17, 2022 at 09:03PM Does time mean anything anymore in fashion? If trend cycles repeat every 20 years (take Y2K’s resurgence as one example), can anything ever be considered new? These are the questions that creative director Alessandro Michele posed at the Gucci Cruise 2023 show, Cosmogonie. Michele chose a 13th-century castle in Puglia, Italy to debut an eveningwear collection that finds the past and present existing in tandem. High-profile guests like Lana Del Rey, Jodie Turner-Smith and Elle Fanning gathered to view the celestial-centric presentation, which featured historical references, astronomy visuals and themes of interconnection. In his show notes, Michele credits German philosopher Walter Benjamin as his inspiration. He cites Benjamin’s “constellation thinking,” which suggests that everything — past and present — can exist at once. In blurring these dichotomies, new, previously unknown constellations are created that “break the constraints of…

How to Wear Pearlcore, Spring’s Most Nostalgic Fashion Trend

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.

The report predicted what we’re now currently seeing, stating, “In 2022,…

Miley Cyrus Mixes Elegance With Rock and Roll in a Vintage Silk Dress

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.

On Sunday night, she attended a star-studded party at Tao in Las Vegas with fiancĂ© Machine Gun Kelly, right after they walked the red carpet at the Billboard Music Awards. Fox, who works with celebrity stylist Maeve Reilly, opted for a shimmering dress that featured an off-shoulder, sweetheart neckline and a short, asymmetrical hemline with ruching on one side. She accessorized the mini with a pair of matching gold Gianvito Rossi heels, a silver Jimmy Choo clutch, and a black stone-encrusted crown, which she wore while enjoying some ice cream inside the club.

Watch Shakira Nail TikTok Dances in 6-Inch Stiletto Platform Boots

May 17, 2022 at 06:22PM Shakira nailed several TikTok dances in platform shoes by Amina Muaddi on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” On May 16, the “Te Felicito” singer styled the leather stiletto booties - which boast a thin, 6-inch heel and precarious pointed-toe platform - with a burgundy Mugler minidress featuring sheer mesh panels and a corseted bodice. This marks the first time we’ve seen the singer wear the French fashion label, and we hope it’s just the first of many Mugler looks to come, with assistance from her stylist Nicolas Bru. The Colombian superstar went head to head with Fallon in the Watch-It-Once TikTok Challenge, attempting viral dance routines after watching clips of them just one time. Although Shakira modestly admitted, “I don’t know how to dance in high heels,” she proceeded to shimmy with ease. Earlier in the day,…
