Cardi B Credits Late Designer Thierry Mugler With Opening Doors For Her

January 25, 2022 at 08:00PM Cardi B is paying tribute to Thierry Mugler, who was one of the first high-fashion designers willing to dress her. Following the subversive designer’s death at 73 on Jan. 23, Cardi shared photos of their collaborations over the years. “Mr. Mugler was still putting his foot on necks at 73 years old!!! A true inspiration for all of us,” the rapper writes. “A true inspiration for all of us.” Cardi wore archival Mugler designs throughout one of the biggest nights of her career thus far: the 2019 Grammy Awards, when Invasion of Privacy earned her the award for best rap album. On the red carpet, Cardi famously wore an avant-garde shell dress from the designer’s iconic fall 1995 couture collection. “Mr. Mugler was one of the FIRST designers to take a major chance on me,” Cardi writes, “allowing…

Ready For Any Occasion, These Midi Dresses Are Effortlessly Stylish and Comfortable

January 25, 2022 at 07:10PM Sleeves, just like pockets in a dress, can give you a sense of security and make you feel less exposed. In the winter, they also serve as a shield, offering warmth and protection from those unforgiving cold snaps. If you love the combination of a midi dress and sleeves - short or long - you’ve come to the right place.

Spring’s 6 Biggest Bag Trends Are Here

January 25, 2022 at 06:02PM With labels like Chanel giving a major nod to the 90’s by way of poppy pink heart-shaped bags with pearl embellishments to brands like Chloe and Ulla Johnson who opted to remain true to their boho-chic heritage, the handbag options for spring 2022 are endless. If you’re anything like us and like to keep a close watch on what bags you add and subtract to your wardrobe, thoughtfully making purchases, without buying for the sake of buying, then you probably don’t think this post is for you. But I beg to differ - despite the sometimes impractical bags we saw coming down the runways, there were surprisingly far more bag trends that spoke to the “everyday” aesthetic. From oversized totes and bucket bags that can fit everything to hand-held pouches perfect for a night out, you’d be surprised…

Chanel Opened its SS22 Couture Show with a Royal on Horseback

January 25, 2022 at 05:34PM Call it equestriancore or the Western style renaissance, but horse girl fashion is in (you can thank the Hadids). Chanel gets this — after all, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel herself was an avid rider, and her appropriation of the masculine jockey styles of the 1920s (like tweed jackets) would later inform some of the earliest creations inside her Paris atelier. And just this morning, over a century later, brand ambassador, model and accomplished horsewoman Charlotte Casiraghi (11th in line to the throne of Monaco, if you were curious) opened the fashion house’s Spring/Summer 2022 haute couture collection on horseback, wearing a Chanel jacket made of black tweed and sequins as French musician SĂ©bastien Tellier played oversized instruments atop a cylindrical podium. Spectators below followed the equine’s elegant gait, snapping photos (because, when was the last time you saw a…

Dior’s Spring/Summer 2022 Couture Collection is All About Craftsmanship

January 24, 2022 at 11:08PM Dior wants you to rethink the possibilities of embroidery. For the fashion house’s Spring/Summer 2022 couture collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri, creative director of Dior’s women’s collections, paid tribute to the atelier. In the garden of the MusĂ©e Rodin in Paris, embroidery was not “merely a decorative detail” but an emblem of the craftsmanship of haute couture. A signature of the collection, embroidered tights can be seen under a grisaille-bedecked grey suit, evening dresses and draped leotards. Elsewhere, an embroidered fishnet vest over a long silk crepe skirt; a jacket set embroidered with a paving of sand-colored ‘Nacrolac’ patterns; an erening dress in ecru silk tulle embroidered with ‘vermicelli’ diamond shapes of cream satin tubes and tassels of fine pearls — you get the picture. “Embroidery becomes a three-dimensional conceptual act that reinvents the atelier’s techniques and elemental excellence;…

This ‘Boring’ Jumper is Already My Most Worn Item of 2022

January 25, 2022 at 01:00PM This is a bold statement, but in my opinion nothing is more useful in a wardrobe than the perfect striped jumper. Yes, you may feel like you’re cheating on your jeans by agreeing with me, but the power of a breton jumper is unparalleled— especially on those mornings where you find yourself staring at your wardrobe totally uninspired. Throw it on with your favourite denim, wide-leg trousers, over leggings, tucked into a midi skirt or tied around your shoulders— see, versatile! However you choose to add it into your day to day outfits, one thing’s for sure: it always makes them look chicer. The breton has, of course, been a hero piece in the most stylish wardrobes for years and remains the linchpin of every French woman’s capsule collection. One of the key reasons they remain so timeless and popular is that…

The Over-50 Fashion Icons With the Freshest Style

January 25, 2022 at 08:00AM Personal style can be mastered at any age—there is no magic number or milestone birthday that can claim to be the pivotal point. Some lucky fashion lovers manage to find their signature look early on and hold onto it throughout their lives, adjusting and updating it ever so slightly to suit the changing times and trends. For others, understanding the outfits and clothes you feel most comfortable in can be a more arduous and experimental process.Whichever camp you reside in, there’s no denying that as you get older, your tastes and wardrobe needs change. For example, aged 33, I now realise that all of the cheaper, trend-ticking items I bought on the high street in my 20s haven’t stood up, so I’m endeavouring to buy less and buy better. My mum, who is in her 70s, is still…
