First came “mom jeans,” now it seems like the latest parental-inspired trend is “dad sneakers.” High-fashion sneakers have been in since roughly 2013, and the latest iteration of the trend channels the chunky New Balances that a fashion-clueless dad wears because they’re “so comfortable.” With Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton at the forefront of this trend, […]

I have a recurring dream in which I realize I’ve left my house without my head scarf on. It’s jarring—I’m not sure where to duck or what to cover myself with. Everyone else walks by, seemingly oblivious, but I feel exposed and terribly uncomfortable. So I can imagine the unease some women must have felt […]

The London shows this season were all about richness—in texture, in fabric, in inspiration. (The jaw-dropping sites the city has to offer served as the perfect complement, with the Tate Britain and the National Portrait Gallery being just a couple of the locations designers chose for their fall/winter 2018 showcases).

Claudia McNeilly got her Louis Vuitton Neverfull as a gift, but there was something about the designer carryall that made the 25-year-old food writer feel self-conscious. The iconic monogram was too popular for her taste. Creative by nature, she slapped some embroidered patches onto the bag: a Casper the Friendly Ghost one with “Ready to […]

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 […]

Google “basara” and you’ll mostly find results for a ’90s manga book about a 15-year-old girl seeking revenge against an evil king set in post-apocalyptic Japan or for hotel bookings for a remote village in Serbia. But dig deeper and you’ll find that basara is also a Japanese term encompassing a luxurious kookiness that is […]

If you were to close your eyes and imagine the clothing of the future, you’d likely picture severe, angular cuts in synthetic fabrics, like something out of Blade Runner. Set in 2019, Ridley Scott’s ’80s version of the future still seems very far away. In all likelihood, it was Spike Jonze who got it right […]

Coco Chanel once said that fashion isn’t something that exists in dresses alone. “Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” So, what social, cultural and political influences is fashion reflecting this fall? Karl Lagerfeld’s space-themed presentation for Chanel—complete with a rocket—seems […]

Paris Fashion Week has come and gone and another season of OTT looks ruled the runways.

For her What I Like exhibition at South London’s Now Gallery last winter, English fashion designer Molly Goddard invited visitors to pull up a chair, grab a needle and thread and embroider a design onto oversized versions of her colourful tulle dresses. For almost four months, the communal art installation—lovingly covered in hand-stitched hearts, flowers […]

Years ago I had to clear 30 years of junk from my parents’ home while prepping their property for my wedding. We loaded a friend’s truck and headed to the garbage transfer station. As we drove into the dimly lit hangar, I felt like we had entered an ominous scene from Mad Max. We stood […]
