I was an early adopter of Instagram. Over a decade ago, I downloaded the then-brand-new app onto my iPod Touch and began haphazardly documenting moments in my young adolescence: my colourful socks, the movie playing on my TV, a duck-face mirror selfie. My clumsy collection of spontaneous, often blurry photos had no motive other than […]

Pink has never really been my colour. Whenever I wear it, I feel less like Barbie and more like a wad of bubblegum on the sidewalk (that is, unappealing). But after Valentino’s Pink Fall 22 collection permeated Paris Fashion Week and spilled out onto the red carpets (take Sebastian Stan’s Met Gala suit as one […]

At this point, we’re all a little too familiar with TikTok-born micro trends. From coconut girl to balletcore to the goth-aissance, it’s hard to keep up with the never-ending stream of niche fashion subcultures. And now we have yet another to add to our repertoire: coastal grandmother. Coined on TikTok by creator Lex Nicoleta, the coastal grandmother […]

Oddly enough, the two most formative films of my youth were Interview With the Vampire and Bring It On. In the shadows of my teenage bedroom, I gorged on ghost stories, but in the daylight, my cheerleading uniform and study-time sweats cloaked my macabre interests. While I secretly lusted over mesh tops, Tripp NYC pants […]

We’re less than a week out from the first Monday of May, which makes for much anticipation, guest-list speculation and outfit predictions for the 2022 Met Gala. This year, the theme is “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” with a white tie dress code that specifies “gilded glamour.” Stretching from 1870s to the 1900s, the […]

Midriff-baring brides are going to be all over your social media feed next spring. For Bridal Fashion Week Spring 2023, designers brought back square necklines, floral appliqués, puff sleeves and more trends from the eighties and nineties. Most interesting, though, was the many low-slung skirts and crop tops on the catwalk. It would seem that […]

The most memorable fashion moment of awards season so far, at least in my opinion, came during the 2022 Grammys ceremony, when the gilded gramophone for Best New Artist was passed from Dua Lipa’s latex-sheathed hand to Olivia Rodrigo’s satin-gloved one. I’m calling it: gloves are the accessory of 2022. But it’s not just me […]

The post Gloves Are the It Accessory for Spring appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Strange fashion is having a moment. Take Schiaparelli’s golden, sci-fi spring couture collection, or Emma Corrin’s latest red carpet moment in a nipple-imitating balloon bra as just two recent examples. Clearly, designers have a new penchant for futurisic kookiness, and surrealist handbags are the fad’s final frontier. If you need any proof, just look to […]

Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty to love about Coachella fashion. I mean, where else would you see Harry Styles and Shania Twain perform in matching sequin ensembles? Over-the-top outfits have come to define the event, but that’s starting to change. As fashionable festivalgoers dress to impress in the crowded desert, a culture of overconsumption […]

As the dust settles on Coachella’s opening weekend, one thing is certain: we have entered a new era of festival fashion. Headliners Harry Styles (who wore a custom Gucci jumpsuit) and Billie Eilish (who performed in spandex shorts, an over-sized t-shirt and knee pads) brought their trademark style to the stage, and festivalgoers followed suit […]

Coachella — merely the buzziest music and arts festival perched in the arid rift valley of Southern California — has returned after a two-year hiatus. At last, the crowd is once again gearing up with looks that toe the line of weird and cool… just the way we like it. But for an event that […]

In grade school, my sense of style was entirely based on my desire to fit in. Back then, that meant wearing Ugg boots, skinny jeans and a t-shirt emblazoned with the name of a tween-approved brand. And if I was lucky, that brand would be Abercrombie & Fitch. Entering an Abercrombie & Fitch store in […]
