Why Aren’t More Fashion Brands Designing Adaptive Clothing?

Could Engagement Watches Be the New Engagement Ring?

September 15, 2021 at 06:30PM Image Source: Courtesy of Cartier People have been proposing with engagement rings since the early 20th century, with the popularity of De Beers, the infamous British company who introduced the slogan “a diamond is forever” in 1947. But did you know that the engagement ring got its meaning way back in 850? According to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), Pope Nicholas I declared that the engagement ring was a symbol of a man’s intent to marry. Back then women sported rings in gold, ivory, and copper to affirm their mutual love. Since then, engagement rings and proposals have been synonymous for future spouses.

Telfar Just Announced a New Bag – Here’s How to Shop It

September 15, 2021 at 05:50PM For Fashion Week, designers are known to send a parade of models down the runway donning their upcoming collections, or, at the very least, debuting an editorial-style lookbook. However, in the aftermath of the pandemic, the biannual event is taking on an increasingly digital nature, and Telfar is the latest to deviate from the status quo. The brand did so with an unexpected twist, and in the end, fans got exactly what they wanted: a new handbag. There wasn’t the scenic runway you may be used to from the brand, showcasing its unisex designs often defined by cutouts, asymmetry and sporty attributes. And no, there was no lookbook, either. Instead, designer Telfar Clemens and a panel of 12 others held a press conference on Sunday in New York, with a dual Instagram Live for fans to join in.…

I Need a Telescope to See All the “Celestial Crystals” on Anok Yai’s Met Gala Gown

September 15, 2021 at 01:40AM The 2019 Met Gala’s “Camp” theme still had a prominent influence on many of this year’s attendees, but many of those who understood the 2021 Met Gala’s “In America” assignment took inspiration from some of history’s most influential stars. Much like Yara Shahidi showing up in a head-to-toe Dior outfit inspired by Josephine Baker, model Anok Yai also gave a nod to the 1920s entertainer and civil rights activist. Channeling pique “Old Hollywood” glam, Anok posed on the Costume Institute steps in a figure-hugging Oscar de La Renta dress from the Spring 2022 collection. While Anok and Yara’s outfits couldn’t have been more different, both paid an honorable tribute to the Jazz Age star. Described as a “skimming celestial crystal gown” by the Oscar de La Renta Instagram page, the dress features a plunging neckline and crystal designs…
