Schiaparelli’s Spring 2022 Couture Collection Will Be Everywhere This Awards Season

January 24, 2022 at 07:42PM Only at Schiaparelli can a black dress with gold Saturn-like rings look understated. I mean, compared to this look Cardi B wore to the American Music Awards in November, the Schiaparelli Spring 2022 couture collection is downright casual. But this back-to-basics (so to speak) is precisely what creative director Daniel Roseberry intended. Photography via ImaxTree.comIn his show notes, the designer described his Fall 2021 couture show (which debuted this past summer) as a collection of hope. Think surrealist colour and pattern explosions. The show that premiered today was designed to be the exact opposite. Roseberry notes it’s a presentation about loss. Well, loss and aliens. “Suddenly, colour felt wrong to me. So, did volume. All of the tricks that couture designers (including me) use to communicate grandeur and craftsmanship — big silhouettes, glorious poufs of fabric, huge volume…

A Look Back at Thierry Mugler’s Best Creations

January 24, 2022 at 07:36PM Manfred Thierry Mugler never really played it safe. The French designer, who died January 23 at age 73, opened his eponymous Paris boutique in 1978. At that time, he had already worked for several designers and created his own collection, Café de Paris. In the ‘80s and ‘90s, Mugler’s popularity grew as his penchant for sultry futurism, hyper-feminine glamour (think broad shoulders and cinched waists with a distinctly sci-fi feel) and theatrics that bordered on drag rewrote the traditional catwalk. His space age era would later give way to otherworldly creations that were inspired by aquatica and vampirism, and would be worn by a diverse cast of models that included porn stars, drag queens and fashion It Girls of the era like Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista. As his stature grew, Mugler’s designs were worn by celebrities like…

The following year, the “WAP” singer wore a sheer Mugler gown to the 2020 Grammys. Kim Kardashian is also a…

This Tangy Za’atar Chicken with Veggies is made entirely on a sheet-pan for easy clean-up and quick cooking that the whole family can enjoy. Don’t forget the spicy yogurt sauce!

Yes, that means your whole meal only requires one cooking sheet and can be done entirely in one run in the oven. The Tangy Yogurt dressing of course requires one other bowl, but let’s be real, meals are all about the sauce and this one is no exception. Here’s What You Need chicken thighs – I used…

January 24, 2022 at 12:39PM If there were a prize for the jacket trend that has been given the most airtime over the last two years, it would have to go to the blazer.

Kate Middleton Wore My Fave Expensive-Looking Trend (No Royal Budget Necessary)

January 24, 2022 at 11:10AM Try as she might, no amount of Zara jumpers and Accessorize earrings could make Kate Middleton actually seem relatable—no offense, duchess.

If You’re Looking to Invest in a Designer Bag, I Would Recommend These 10

January 24, 2022 at 08:00AM If there’s one thing I’m asked most frequently as a shopping editor, it’s what designer bags are worth the investment. It’s a pretty big question to answer, as so many things come into play. After all, one person’s idea of what is affordable and expensive depends on their budget. There’s also the practicality consideration—some of us would happily forgo a roomy interior for an attractive design, whereas others require their handbags to fit everything except the kitchen sink.I’m probably somewhere in the middle. I find it hard to get on board with the micro-bag trend, and I require my bags to be versatile. However, I am the sort of person you’ll see lugging around a canvas tote bag with a water bottle, laptop and tissues while my handbag remains unsullied by such weighty responsibilities. I find that midsize bags, such as my Wandler…
