Alberto Caliri sees Missoni’s rhythmic interplays of patterns and zingy chromatic combinations as anything but static. For him, the brand’s patrimony is not only distinctive but alive, and endlessly regenerative: “There’s a sort of Missoni-ty encapsulated in every piece,” he notes, “something that feels familiar yet instinctive, dynamic.” Although he knows the archive by heart,…
Forget roughing it in the Canadian woods in oversized survival gear, muddy boots, and mosquito nets. This season isn’t about blending into the pines, as it often is a DSquared2, whose founders Dean and Dan Caten hail from the wilds of Toronto. Rather, it’s about being prep school troublemakers defying the norm. “They’re proper, polished…
Juan Vidal’s latest collection, “Me quiere, no me quiere” (“They Love Me, They Love Me Not”], draws inspiration from the tender act of plucking daisy petals as an ode to vulnerability and beauty. “That innocent game is, at its core, a metaphor for the fear of making decisions,” the designer explained. “It’s a place where…

On it was another photograph, this one of Fendi herself, that was shot (she estimated) back in 1983. “It was in Monaco, with Karl.” The image showed Silvia, her hair in a shaggy blonde crop,…
The Savannah College of Art & Design has a honeybee as its school mascot. It’s a peculiar fun-fact about the university, one with a warm, even if a little saccharine, backstory. The gist of it is that bees shouldn’t be able to fly given their size and wingspan, yet they do. The parallel here is…
Model, mogul and mother-of-five, Kimora Lee Simmons is still a force to be reckoned with in fashion. Her career began in her early teens, when Karl Lagerfeld signed her to her a contract with the house of Chanel. She made her debut with the house in the fall 1989 Haute Couture show. From there, her…
This past weekend, you could easily spot flocks of stylish Indigenous folks parading across Santa Fe, New Mexico—all decked out in their finest gowns, dentalium shell necklaces, and beaded earrings. The occasion for such peacocking? Santa Fe Native Fashion Week, a jam-packed weekend presenting new contemporary collections from Indigenous designers across North America. With tentpole…
The glam of the 1970s is back. On the final day of Mexico Fashion Week, Carla Fernández ditched the traditional runway and took us to a century-old brewery in the heart of Mexico City.
