The year 2017 has been about embracing inclusivity, and no fabric has been more of an “outsider” than corduroy. This ribbed take on velvet has long been a favourite of sartorially clueless nerds and intellectuals. (The geeky kids of Judd Apatow’s Freaks and Geeks come to mind.) But with its recent runway comeback, corduroy is […]

The envelope for Gucci’s Fall 2017 invitation featured an image of an ouroboros devouring its tail. Inside, there was a vinyl record that had a sleeve with this hand-scrawled message from Coco Capitán: “What are we going to do with all this future?” The 25-year-old Spanish artist captured a timely sentiment that we’re all feeling, […]

Recently, we posed the question “Should we retire the term ‘beauty trends’?” and explored the idea that it might be an outdated term. You can read all about that here. So while we certainly still attend fashion weeks and go backstage […]

I was in Berlin for Marc Cain’s fall runway show when the prettiest pastel pink invitation was delivered to my hotel room. Written across the invite in loopy cursive letters was the evening’s theme: Ballet Magnifique. That night, from my seat in the front row, I could see a display of black tulle skirts and […]

There are cat ladies, and then there are cat ladies. Feline-covered cardigans, cat collectors and senders of cute cat memes are dead giveaways, but it might be a little tougher to tell the reals from the fakes this fall with so many kitties on the runway. Never before have designers elevated the cat lady to […]

Just when you thought Karl Lagerfeld couldn’t top his Chanel sets anymore (we’re still thinking about the Fall 2017 life-size rocket), the Kaiser upped the ante and brought the world’s most-admired monument into the Grand Palais. That’s correct. For the Chanel Haute Couture Fall 2017 show, Lagerfeld installed a 38-metre high reproduction of the Eiffel […]

It’s finally October, which means that it’s recess everywhere but in our hearts. No longer squashed by the pressure to appear dewy, glistening, or whatever the hell else summer demands, we can finally parlay our angst, anger, and general discontent into aesthetic choices. (And I can finally begin channeling the vibe of a Victorian ghost). […]

A post shared by ?abroad until further notice️ (@abroaduntilfurthernotice) on Jan 8, 2016 at 5:57pm PST I once spent six wonderful months in London working as junior editor at a small and zany book publishing house.

Every facet of fashion is going high tech. From smart fabrics to computerized sketches, old school techniques are going the way of the dodo. Case in point, Stephanie Mckay’s fashion illustrations from The Collections’ RE\SET Fashion shows in Toronto last night. No longer are artists frantically scribbling in notebooks and juggling pencils, crayons and charcoals […]
