Fashion Is For Everyone, So Why Am I Still Downloading Runway Looks For “Men” or “Women”?

October 06, 2021 at 10:05PM For a person interested in fashion, there is nothing as exciting as imagining and preplanning your future wardrobe based on emerging runway trends. There’s also nothing as infuriating as feeling discouraged by clothing that caught your eye because, for some reason, you find it wasn’t made for you. As an editor, it’s frustrating to have witnessed season after season of designers refusing to acknowledge people of different body types, abilities, ethnicities, racial backgrounds, and genders on the runway. It makes you want to turn away from an industry that seemingly reflects inconsistency through its values. But more than that, it makes you want to speak up. Especially for the marginalized communities that see certain brands as being unattainable or off-limits, not just because of who is or isn’t wearing the clothing on the runway but also on a…

Selena Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building Looks Make a Very Good (and Easy!) Halloween Costume

October 06, 2021 at 08:30PM It would be hard to steal a scene from legends like Steve Martin and Martin Short, unless, of course, you’re Selena Gomez’s perfectly fuzzy coat in Only Murders in the Building. After binging the quirky murder-mystery comedy on Hulu, we need more of this foursome - and by foursome, we mean Steve, Martin, Selena, and Selena’s outerwear collection. Selena certainly holds her own with the iconic comedic duo, providing some much-needed millennial sarcasm and a little edge, with a wardrobe crafted by costume designer Dana Covarrubias that toes the line between fashion-conscious New Yorker and laid-back 20-something who’s also too busy solving crime to be concerned with her outfit. In that way, the clothes are effortless - take the coat, for instance. It’s a standout piece that speaks for itself, so it pairs well with the basics, i.e.…

I Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop Buying Silver Rings

October 06, 2021 at 06:40PM Does anyone else find themselves on Instagram one moment, then suddenly on some fashion brand’s website clicking “add to cart” seemingly two milliseconds later? I could tell you (and my bank account), the pattern is derived from some unknown phenomena, to no fault of my own, or I could just lay it out as it is: I’m a sucker for buying pieces I’ve discovered via Instagram. But can you blame me? Between frequently discovering new fashion designers (fashion editor life), re-shared paparazzi photos of the most stylish celebrities, and spotting a cool piece when influencers or even my fashion-enthused peers post to their own accounts, it’s just hard not to “get got”. My latest obsession, thanks to the ‘gram? Silver rings. But not just any rings (I’m sorry, but I’m really over the standard croissant styles, etc.). I…

Styled by The Sopranos: an Ode to the Show’s Fashion

October 06, 2021 at 06:10PM Through the birth of the male antihero, complex character development, and social commentary on American culture, The Sopranos forever altered the course of television. But when it comes to fashion, The Sopranos probably isn’t the first series that comes to mind. With looks extending from Adriana’s signature animal-print outfits and Carmela’s pastel matching sets to Christopher’s stacked gold chains, it’s safe to say that the show is iconic - and so is its style. Mob mentality and high fashion go hand-in-hand on The Sopranos. The characters are infatuated with designer labels and luxury goods: Adriana’s love language is diamonds, Tony’s go-to “I’m sorry” gift is Louis Vuitton, and we can’t forget Carmela’s iconic fur coat moment. Sure, some of the looks embody traditional Italian mobster stereotypes - think rhinestone-embellished french tips, silk button-downs, and velour tracksuits - deemed…

Halsey May Have Been Serenaded by Harry Styles, but Our Eyes Were on Those Low-Rise Pants

October 06, 2021 at 05:36PM A Harry Styles concert calls for a cute look, and Halsey certainly delivered. On Monday evening, the new mom paid her fellow singer a visit with friends wearing an impossibly cool outfit, though you know how we feel about a lower rise … While they opted for a simple cotton tank on top, for bottoms, the “Graveyard” artist chose leather pants covered in fiery red claws with a rise that sat more than a few inches below her hips. The Formy Studio trousers, rented from Lidow Archive, also showed off the classic black Frankies Bikinis bikini set she wore underneath. Halsey teamed the standout piece with Louis Vuitton’s multi pochette bag, an assortment of cross earrings and necklaces, and of course, eye makeup courtesy of their brand, About-Face. “This slate grey @aboutfacebeauty eye paint is something that is…

Chloe Bailey Channels Alice in Wonderland at Fashion Week, and the Reference Is Crystal Clear

October 06, 2021 at 03:42PM While Chloe Bailey’s sister Halle made an appearance at Miu Miu, Chloe must’ve been getting ready for Louis Vuitton. Either way, the Bailey sisters carried out a successful final day of Fashion Month in Paris, and they had the impressive outfits to do so. Chloe’s own minidress, a sexy-meets-sporty take on what she calls a “chloe in wonderland 🦋” look on her Instagram, came with flutter sleeves, a plunging zippered neckline, and elastic bungee cord hem. In a classic blue neoprene, it did conjure images of Disney’s Alice, should she swap her apron, tights, Mary-Jane flats, and bow for a chunky chainlink diamond choker, LV’s Podium platforms, and a crisp, snow white take on the Capucines mini bag in pebbled leather. Chloe shared a sneak peek at her electric blue manicure to match the shade of her dress…

23 Things to Know About Louis Vuitton’s Over-the-Top Spring 2022 Show

October 06, 2021 at 04:20AM You may recall Louis Vuitton’s last spring collection - sharp tailoring, vibrant prints and color, but largely practical in silhouette. Aside from two or three styles, it was void of anything too avant-garde, fitting for the times. In looking at the brand’s spring 2022 collection, which debuted at the Louvre Museum in Paris on Tuesday, I’d say the brand’s done something of a 180, pointing toward downright opulence. And even that is an understatement. For this collection, Nicholas Ghesquiere seems to be straying away from house’s signature sleek, ultraelevated aesthetic in favor of something even more Parisian. Whoever the Louis Vuitton girl is this season, she’s ready for a grandiose event or two. There are nightgowns as dresses (some done with artful structural elements at the hips), lace and shimmer at every turn, ruffles up to the chin,…
