Couture Spring 2023 Fashion Shows and Trends

Couture Spring 2023 fashion shows coincide with men’s fashion week. Doja Cat’s shenanigans at Viktor and Rolf and another less impactful Schiaparelli show distracts from the collection in my opinion: had she just done the Pat Macgrath body makeup stunt I think she could’ve enjoyed the press, however, feel like her subsequent costume drew the…

New York Fashion Week Fall 2022 NYFW

New York Fashion Week (NYFW) Fall 2022, beginning on my birthday of course, featured a wide variety of fabric selections and silhouettes, and was predominately well-tailored, highly wearable, and glamorous with some designers focusing on originality and innovative ways of reinventing staples such as the anorak or parka. Leather, sequins, shearling, shear embellished lace, metallic…

Mens Fall 2022

Men’s Fall 2022 is the most exciting season for menswear since the dandy movement years ago– as menswear has remained unchanged for well over a century, it’s high time we have at least a fraction of the options our female counterparts have in fashion. It’s about time menswear shed the basic-bitch mold it cast itself…

Christopher John Rogers Pre-Fall 2022

Christopher John Rogers was fun and playful for Pre-Fall 2022, from the interesting dart-manipulation to the prints and unusual silhouettes. The color palette was highly saturated…

Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2022

Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2022 was seemingly a send-off to the late Virgil Abloh, with veiled caps and bucket-hats: Abloh’s designs sought to subvert fashion and its gender bias, as made evident by the kilts and men’s skirts. The standout looks and pieces from the collection include the Damier suit, aforementioned veiled hats, prints, signature chains,…

Dior Men’s Pre-Fall 2022 Fashion Show was Beatnik Heavy with the Kerouac prints, featuring a supple leather trench coat and shearling aviator jacket, waxed twill trench coat, loads of knits, and lustrous velvet trousers and Fair Isle knit paillette beanies sure to make an “everything plus” fella look like a “shape in a drape.” The leather…

Moschino Pre-Fall 2022 Circus Chic or Circus Freak?

Moschino Pre-Fall 2022- Circus Chic or Circus Freak? Comment Below! The wacky color palette and bold prints, especially in the pieces at the start of the presentation, feel a bit too literal- but that’s Moschino’s aesthetic, of course. I feel like some of the pieces are wearable, for example, the chevrons, solids, and stripes, but…

New York Fashion Week Fall 2021 NYFW

We’re still witnessing the impact of Covid-19 on the fashion calendar and industry for New York Fashion Week Fall 2021. Most shows are presentations of multimedia rather than runway shows, however, we are seeing few true runway shows with anyone other than models around- and in one I wasn’t sure if it was staff scurrying…

New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2021 Highlights

Below are designers and houses which I may have only micro-blogged on in addition to those linked to posts. In the Spring/Summer 2021 collection, I feel as if Tomo Koizumi has a very clear albeit repetitive motif with this fabric manipulation, but the designer(s) should be conscious of silhouette and the natural waistline in the…
