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…

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,…

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…

Shirr-Perfection: Polina Gorkovenko Spring 2021

Polina Gorkovenko’s Spring 2021 collection was shirr-perfection- the effect of fabric manipulation using shirring allowed for the same technique to invoke different effects from gathers and ruffles to pleats which evoke entirely different styles from the almost Elizabethan effect on the multicolored dress to the more understated gathering on the Afghan. The cropped jacket, of…

Private Policy Spring 2021

Private Policy’s Spring/Summer 2021 collection was a well executed, perfectly edited and cohesive yet still design-playful collection in its exploration of fashion when met with color palette, graphic prints, utility and wearability: beyond the now common utilitarian pockets- straps, buttons, and harnesses allow the garments to be worn and carried in a more versatile way….

Rick Owens Fall 2019

Rick Owens Fall 2019 featured SFX Runway Makeup, beautiful silhouettes and lines accentuating the shoulders, and had a unique take on making use of different planes of the body in this Utilitarian craze we’re seeing this season. What with his publicity stunts in the past, it was easy to overlook his genius, and I’m glad…

Saint Laurent Fall 2019

Can we all just be bio-luminescent in Saint Laurent Fall 2019 and live our best lives?  I NEED every freaking piece of menswear! Who cares if Saint Laurent is marching to the beat of its own drum, still on that same aesthetic from like four seasons ago? (…I said Four Seasons).  There was a multitude…

Vivetta Fall 2019

Jeepers Kreepers…why’d they cut out peepers? Jeepers kreepers…hats just don’t need eyes. Vivetta presented questionable, plagiarized, and brilliantly conceived and executed designs for Fall 2019. While I hate the peephole hats and poor copy of Jeremy Scott’s teddy bear designs, I found the embellished florals with Lilly of the Valley appliqué absolutely remarkable.

Iceberg Does Disney

Iceberg’s Fall 2019 collection, a rather sporty one with neon colors contrasting black, featured Disney’s Cinderella and Snow White graphic sweaters.
