These 29 Statement Hoodies Are Almost As Cool As You

[ad_1]

Hoodies are a classic garment for any wardrobe of any aesthetic — and they’re a blank canvas.

When the days get unbearably colder and the chilly weather is an ache to brush off your shoulder, hoodies are a wearable escape from the changing seasons.

Rising to prominence as athleticwear in the 1930s, hooded sweatshirts are still beloved almost 100 years later — and with good reason. Warm and easily removable, a hoodie is an ideal layer to keep you warm, whether on its own or under something heavier. Thanks to the rise of streetwear’s popularity, the garment is a lot more acceptable across social spaces in 2022 than in previous years, for a night out with friends or a more casual day in the office, and everything in between.

There’s nothing wrong with much-loved solid-color options from Lululemon or Quince. But the hoodie can also be a canvas, to say something, or to flaunt your style. Plus, it’s good to have a few hoodies on hand anyway. Whether you want to show your love for Wakanda, proclaim your adoration of the late, great artist Jean-Michel Basquiat or whip up Bratz-flavored nostalgia, there’s an option for you in the gallery below.

How I Shop: Ashley Park of ‘Emily in Paris’

[ad_1]

We all buy clothes, but no two people shop the same. It can be a social experience, and a deeply personal one; at times, it can be impulsive and entertaining, at others, purpose-driven, a chore. Where do you shop? When do you shop? How do you decide what you need, how much to spend and what’s “you”? These are some of the questions we’re putting to prominent figures in our column “How I Shop.”

Actor Ashley Park is best known these days for her fan-favorite role as Mindy Chen in the rom-com Netflix series “Emily in Paris.” Since the show debuted back in 2020, Park has proven to be a style star both on and off the screen — and she’s just getting started.

Ahead of the show’s anticipated return for its third installment on Dec. 21, Park has a new project up her sleeve: her first-ever fashion collection, made in collaboration with Rent the Runway. The exclusive line of party-ready silhouettes launched on Nov. 15, just in time for the holiday season.

The actor tells Fashionista that she’s been a fan of the site since the early days of her career when she first moved to New York City almost 10 years ago. “[For my auditions and events], I remember debating if I should buy something, wear it and then return it with the tag,” she says. “Finding out that Rent the Runway existed was really a game changer for me because I didn’t feel out of place when I was going to certain events and I could really shine at that moment. I didn’t have the burden of trying to keep everything and cram it all into my little tiny studio closet.”

Rent-and-return platforms have gained popularity over the past decade, allowing shoppers to take more fashion risks without the commitment — solving a dilemma that’s often prevalent around this time due to end-of-year festivities.

Park’s collection includes eight silhouettes that can be worn from day to night, ranging from $55 to $65 per rental. The faux-leather outwear, sparkly dresses and velvet minis reflect Park’s personal sense of style, she says.

Her closet, she admits, is a little different, especially post-pandemic. “I really prioritize comfort now, especially because of the things I’m asked to do on set and sometimes I’m in heels for like a whole day,” she says. “So I’d say my personal style is comfy and chic.”

Ahead, Park discusses her oversized blazer obsession, the importance of shopping intentionally and which “Emily In Paris” character would wear each of her designs.

“I love combining both masculine and feminine styles. For example, I’ll put on a cute tank and crop top with baggy jeans and an oversized blazer.

“Speaking of oversized blazers, I guess it’s the headline of my fashion style. When I unpacked in France when filming the latest season of ‘Emily in Paris,’ [it] was all oversized blazers and neutral colors. I love stuff that makes you comfortable in your body and it doesn’t have to always be so revealing.

“I’m a huge fan of over-the-top shoulder pads, and that’s why I like oversized blazers. I love to have the structure up top, but also comfort.

“Recently, I’ve also been a fan of halters and wide-legged pants. My favorite pair would be these black Phillip Lim cargo pants. It works so well with any top and I can wear it out to dinner, or while I’m walking around the city. I have these Roger Vivier boots that are such a wardrobe staple. I can wear any of these pieces just about anywhere at any time of the day.

“If I had to choose a piece from my RTR that could be worn from office to night, Sylvie and Emily [from ‘Emily in Paris’] could both rock the ‘business in the front, party in the back’ tuxedo jumpsuit. I think that Emily would love this velvet dress especially since it’s very elegant but also super flirty and fun. Mindy would also look amazing in that halter jumpsuit because she definitely gravitates toward suits sometimes but loves a sexy halter moment. She loves not to be confined to a box because she has a lot of sides to her. For Camille, I can really see her in that vegan leather blazer — she would really rock that purple color and it feels very structured and mature for France.

“I realized that I’d been traveling a lot — I don’t think I’ve been in the same place for more than a few months at a time for the past couple of years. Whenever I’m shopping, I try to pick out something that I can wear in all seasons, all places, at all times. That’s what I love about those oversized blazers. You can wear it off the plane and then you move straight to a nice dinner and your outfit still looks elevated.

“It’s so funny because I was just trying to ‘Marie Kondo‘ my stuff recently by getting rid of things in my closet and I noticed a lot of my staple pieces are my mom’s, especially clothes that she had in the ’90s. She had this nice black blazer and ugh, I just couldn’t get rid of it because it was hers!

“Aside from my mom, when it comes to style inspiration, I would have to say Zendaya is a major one. Her style is so sophisticated yet sexy, and it’s almost this easy-breezy glam. What I love about her style is that the outfit never owns her; she’s owning the outfit. I’ve learned a lot from that and apply it to myself now, especially when I’m picking out clothes for my character, because [Mindy] likes to take risks but she’s not so obnoxious about it.

“Honestly, I’m not even sure if I have anything on my wishlist this holiday season, but if I had to choose, I think maybe my wish list is to just organize what clothes I already have.

“These days, I definitely shop with more intention. I can’t remember the last time I went into a store. Don’t get me wrong — I love to window shop, but for me, I usually find pieces when I see it on somebody and I’ll be like ‘Where’d you get that top? Oh my gosh, I wish I had it in my suitcase.’ Also, Instagram ads know me really well, too.

“I do believe in shopping therapy sometimes, but for me, it’s really become quality over quantity. I used to shop for as many things as possible for the best deal. Nowadays, especially with the way that I travel and work, I’m like, ‘Okay if I’m gonna get a quality black T-shirt, what’s the most versatile shape I know I can have for a long time? What is the best option that I can wear with just about everything?’

“Over the years, I’ve grown such an appreciation for the craftsmanship and the thoughtfulness behind a design. Coming from a theater background, I now look at a brochure and know all of the different elements and people that go into putting something together.

“I went to the Valentino fashion show where they returned to Rome. Pierpaolo — I love everything he does — he brought out the seamstresses at the end along with the models. [That moment reminded me] that I’ve learned so much about fashion, and it’s an opportunity to be a storyteller and uplift different cultures, ideas and perspectives. That’s been a really impactful and fun part of the journey [designing my first collection], and I’ve learned so much as well.”

Timothée Chalamet Is a Teenage Cannibal With Good Taste in Fashion in ‘Bones and All’

[ad_1]

Warning: Mild spoilers for “Bones and All” below.

“Call Me By Your Name” director Luca Guadagnino revisits the ’80s with his muse, Timothée Chalamet, in “Bones and All,” another study of self-discovery and first love. But in a fierce and visceral metaphor for those formative teen years, the film’s protagonists connect through a common denominator that makes them feel like outsiders: They’re cannibals.

After Maren (Taylor Russell)’s father abandons her on her 18th birthday, she sets off to find her long-absent mother. On the road, she encounters the nomadic Lee, with his tumbling curls highlighted in a DIY-ish red and cut into a wild mullet, and they couple up on a road trip. As forward-thinking and experimental teenagers, they foreshadow the more slouchy, grunge-y ’90s with their clothing choices, while their peers stick to the exaggerated shapes and bright colors of the ’80s.

“Call Me By Your Name” costume designer Guilia Piersanti reunited with Guadagnino and Chalamet for the teens’ journey traveling long, dusty roads across the country. “The color palette is muted to blend in with the landscape,” writes Piersanti, over email.

She sourced original ’80s vintage “from everywhere” for both characters. But, of course, a movie centered around two human-flesh-eating teens involves blood and gore. “So we had to source fabrics to match the vintage pieces, print them with the same flower prints and cut and sew them in multiples to then age them and stain them through the various stages of a fight or eating scene,” explains Piersanti.

Ahead, Guadagnino’s go-to costume designer discusses key looks and story arcs, as Maren and Lee find each other and themselves.

Lee’s ‘Borrowed’ Wardrobe

Lee and Maren meet cute in Ohio, when an asshole catcalls a woman at a grocery store. Maren immediately jumps to her defense, as does Lee, who ultimately metes out worse a punishment. (He eats the man.) Lee also looks enigmatic and intriguing in an era-bending outfit: Paired with a delicate blue floral shirt, worn open over a ribbed tank, his baggy, low-rider distressed jeans stand out in an era of high-waisted, tapered denim silhouettes.

“[The shirt] is a ’30s dress I imagined belonged to an eaten old lady, that he might have found in her closet, and that he cut to fit him as a shirt,” says Piersanti. “There is a theme of ‘borrowing’ clothes in the film.” Lee, who travels light, essentially shops the closets of his last meals before he heads to his next destination.

“I imagined he would mostly wash up and change when at his victims’ homes,” says Pieranti. “Some victims whom we do not see, I imagined and thought how he would customize these people’s ‘tokens’ to make them his — with his sense of freedom, irony and youth.”

Lee has good taste in shirts (sorry).

Lee excitedly peruses the supermarket harasser’s vinyl collection and rocks out to Kiss — it wouldn’t be a Guadagnino movie without Chalamet’s limber ’80s dance moves — and presumably plucks a particularly standout brown Western shirt from his closet (above). “This shirt actually belongs to my personal vintage collection and I love the little flowers and champagne-colored fringes,” says Piersanti. Lee also takes the free clothing opportunity to use fashion to explore his own psyche and moods.

“I feel that Lee is the kind of person who probably looks in the mirror and tries on different ‘masks’ to wear, different styles and expressions to see what fits with how he feels,” Chalamet shared in the film’s production notes.

Lee’s secondhand shopping picks also blur gender-normative lines, which feels quite 2022 — and Timmy, himself, on the red carpet. To take Maren to a pivotal meeting, he wears a soft blue floral cardigan with dainty pearl buttons and, in the film’s finale, he’s in a ’40s-style flower-dotted blouse, with a light fluttery peplum. “Lee borrows whatever he finds useful to his style and need, and his style would not feel the need to conform to sex,” explains Piersanti.

Maren’s Traveling Clothes

Despondent, Maren leaves the home she shared with her father wearing a late-’80s-style black floral maxi dress, combat boots and an oversize field jacket. The outfit illustrates her unstable childhood — constantly on the run from the aftermath of her youthful, uncontrolled cannibal tendencies.

“Maren always moved around with her father,” explains Piersanti. “She has these flower dresses that must have appealed to her as feminine, yet she pairs them with big boots and big sweaters and little girl’s tank tops with simplicity and unawareness.”

Maren encounters veteran cannibal Sully (Mark Rylance), who wears his ‘tokens’ and ‘trophies’ on a fisherman’s vest. ‘I think Sully shows what Lee could be like in a far future had he lived alone all his life, too,’ says Piersanti.

As Maren first embarks on her journey, she wears her dad’s “abandoned” waxed utility coat, both as a keepsake and “an emotional rescue blanket.” Her capsule series of floaty and gossamer sheer floral dresses reflect “innocence, purity and unaware sexuality.” Piersanti took rugged-meets-fragile roadtrip inspiration from films of the era: Sandrine Bonnaire’s character in 1985’s “Vagabond” and Lisa Bonet in 1987’s “Angel Heart.”

“The idea for Maren is that she is always unaware of her own beauty and femininity. She doesn’t really have a sense of herself, as she grew up without a mother,” says the costume designer, imagining that Maren thrifted from Goodwill-type shops with her dad to create her “mix-and-match style.”

Sartorial Soul Mates

Lee’s penchant for “borrowing” graceful patterns from his kills and Maren’s ethereal dresses, packed in her road trip backpack, also represent a theme. “There are a lot of flower prints to Maren’s and Lee’s costumes to look as if they’re one big bouquet,” says Piersanti.

As the duo heads west when the seasons turn from spring to summer, Maren sheds her thick, protective sweaters and her emotional support coat. “She falls in love with Lee, and she becomes less guarded,” says Piersanti. “She peels away layers off herself. But even then, she is unaware of what she conveys to others.”

Maren transitions into a pared-down denim arc, with a light white tank tucked into a long tie-front jean skirt (top) and a cute romper with front pockets. But, Lee still plays with prints, like a salmon-hued herringbone-and-chain-link-print button-up, paired with his distressed jeans, with exposed knees, now chopped into shorts.

“Lee doesn’t necessarily change much. He still keeps to his individual-slash-outsider style,” says Piersanti. “But Maren changes as if trying to blend in with the other students on campus. Her looks are more put together, less savage — and she even wears makeup.”

The two eventually decide to try living as “just people,” as Maren says, in Ann Arbor, home to University of Michigan. Maren, in more denim, waits tables at a cafe and Lee even cooks what looks like mainstream food, while wearing a collegiate blue-and-white wide-striped shirt — always keeping us guessing.

Must Read: Inside The Mind Of Steven Klein, Peta Announce $1 Million Prize For Vegan Wool

[ad_1]

These are the stories making headlines in fashion on Thursday.

Inside the mind of Steven Klein
For Business of Fashion, Tim Blanks profiles fashion photographer Steven Klein and explores the stories behind some of his most notable photographs. When it comes to his typically violent and bloody images, Klein says, “Instead of avoiding things, I like to address them.” He goes on to explain, “there are always hidden messages in my work. Being really honest, I’m not always sure what they are.” When Blanks asks how his work translates to his real life, Klein proposes, “What the real story is, is up to the viewer.” {Business of Fashion}

PETA launches $1 million prize for vegan wool
PETA has launched a competition that will award $1 million to the first person or small business that produces a comparable vegan alternative to wool. Entrants have until July 28, 2023 to submit their fabric samples and production plans to the animal rights group at Peta.org. {Business of Fashion}

Instagram, The Brooklyn Museum and Antwaun Sargent announce #BlackVisionaries grant recipients
For this year’s #BlackVisionaries program, Instagram and The Brooklyn Museum have partnered with the creative chair of the organization, Antwaun Sargent, to grant financial support to 10 Black artists, designers and Black-owned small businesses, narrowed down from nearly 2,000. As announced on Thursday, the five $100,000 Visionary Small Business grants will be given to Black Fashion Fair, The Black School: Design Studio, Dark Matter U, Strada and Pacific. The $30,000 Emerging Visionary grants will go to Christopher Joshua Benton, Anaïs Duplan, Albert Hicks IV, Jaline McPherson and Cornelius Tulloch. Sargent said in a statement, “Community builds community, and that’s the intentionality behind what we’re trying to establish here.” {Fashionista inbox}

The Fashion Act announces new amendments
Lead sponsors Assemblymember Dr. Anna Kelles, Senator Alessandra Biaggi and supporters have introduced new amendments that “clarify and strengthen” the Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act and give stakeholders more of a say. Assemblymember Kelles said in a statement, “This bill is the first of its kind and would require that clothing brands not only map their supply chain but, most critically, would hold them accountable for any inhumane labor practices and environmental footprint embedded in their supply chains.” More detailed information about the new amendments can be found at thefashionact.org. {Fashionista inbox}

Celebrities Went Full-On Gothcore for the ‘Wednesday’ Premiere

Apparently spooky season isn’t over just yet. On Wednesday (rather appropriately), stars of the forthcoming Netflix and Tim Burton series “Wednesday” gathered for a premiere in Los Angeles clad in their gothcore finest. From a sartorial perspective, they certainly did the Addams Family proud.

Jenna Ortega, who stars as titular character Wednesday Addams, wore a gothic bridal look from Versace‘s Spring 2023 collection, complete with a dramatic leg slit, lacy cutouts, a mesh veil, black nail polish and inky, dark-rimmed eye makeup.

Christina Ricci — who portrayed Wednesday in the 1991 and 1993 “Addams Family” films and appears in the Netflix series — also went for a spooky fashion moment. For the occasion, she chose sheer, spider-web-adorned look from Rodarte’s Fall 2020 collection.

Striking shoulder looks were a dominant trend from the evening: Both Gwendoline Christie and Catherine Zeta-Jones chose ensembles with a focus on exaggerated structure, while Emma Myers and Joy Sunday both wore off-the-shoulder gowns.

“Wednesday” makes its Netflix debut on Nov. 23 — until then, click through the gallery below to see all the standout looks from the show’s premiere.

[ad_1]

We know it’s hard to find the right gifts for your loved ones, so we’ve compiled a ton of fashion and beauty-focused gift guides tailored to a range of interests and budgets. Check out our latest below and find more right here.

When it comes to beauty gift giving, there are plenty of routes to go. But allow us to suggest venturing down the path of skin care: Plenty of people in your life will appreciate any excuse to indulge in a little extra ritualistic pampering and self care — and everyone has skin.

But the realm of skin care doesn’t exactly have a reputation for being straightforward; it’s easy to get confused and overwhelmed. A little advice? When in doubt, go for a pre-organized set.

These bundles — which range from curations of trial-size minis to fully comprehensive treatment routines — cover a wide range of complexion preferences and needs, and they’ll also suit just about any budget. Plus, some of them are so well packaged, you won’t need to do any wrapping.

In the gallery below, we’ve rounded up 21 skin-care sets that are basically begging to be gifted. Click through to see (and shop!) them all.

For Casey Cadwallader, New and Old Mugler Can Successfully Coexist

[ad_1]

The first time Casey Cadwallader saw “Thierry Mugler: Couturissime” — the buzzy museum retrospective tracing the highly influential founding designer’s career — it was still the early days of his tenure as creative director of Mugler. (He joined the house in December 2017.)

“To see such a tour de force of his best things all side by side made me a little bit jittery,” he says, adding with sarcasm, “I was like, ‘Oh cool, this looks easy.’”

The exhibit first opened at the Musée des Beaux Arts de Montréal in the spring of 2019, and has since traveled to Rotterdam, Munich and Paris. “Couturissime” is making its final stop stateside at the Brooklyn Museum, from this Friday, Nov. 18 to May 7, 2023. Even now, though, that nervous, “fear-inducing” wonder is still there for Cadwallader.

“I went and I was like, ‘Damn, this is intense,’” he says.

Cadwallader is nearing his five-year anniversary at Mugler — a massive milestone for any designer, but especially one helming an iconic fashion house; it’s a position with famously high turnover. A lot has happened during his tenure: In addition to reigniting interest in the brand, he’s also made it a go-to for some of the most sought-after performers in the world, like Dua Lipa, Megan thee Stallion and Beyoncé. Meanwhile, its extensive archive has become a popular resource for celebrities like Cardi B and Kylie Jenner to pull from for big events. Then, more recently, Thierry Mugler passed away.

“I was much more in contact with him, and that was something I earned over time,” Cadwallader says of Mugler, the man. “I had no idea that he was going to pass — no one did — so there was this amazing shock about, ‘Oh, these conversations that were going to happen now aren’t going to happen,’ which was really hard.”

“The other thing [is], he was always watching,” he continues. “He was always on the sidelines, and I was always thinking about that. Now that he’s passed, there’s this really big shift where I more deeply understand my responsibility to take it forward. It’s not that it wasn’t that way before, but without him being there, it feels different. I really feel responsible for making the brand lasting, making the brand stronger, making the brand bigger, making sure that the brand’s past is respected.”

Cadwallader himself is a reverent student of the archive: As soon as he got to Mugler, he’d pull different pieces and examine them one by one. Even now, he’ll go back to the source material — but he’s very intentional about how he uses it.

“I made this deal with myself that I would look at it, take pictures, put it away and just let it come out of me the way that felt natural — that’s my way of making sure that it’s my version,” he says. “I realized [the archive] was so extensive and there are so many different themes and ideas and materialities that I prefer to let my nose point in one direction, fall in love with something for a season — one, two, three things max — and digest those.”

For example, Cadwallader might start with an embroidered corset from a decades-old haute couture collection. Through his lens, that inspiration becomes the starting point for a ready-to-wear corset made with “a laser-cut, ultrasonically-welded lycra, where it breathes and stretches almost like sport clothing.”

“What I’m trying to do,” he says, “is to bring those codes and make it much more wearable day to day… There’s something interesting about shifting that materiality and the language that makes it hit people differently now.”

Even that technique ties Cadwallader’s work to that of the man whose name is on the tag: “He was obsessed with new materials. He did entire shows dedicated to faux fur or lycra or latex or whatever it was that was new — now, I’m just trying to do the same with what’s offered to me in the modern world.”

Renewed public interest in a fashion house’s archive can be a tricky thing if the brand’s still up and running. There’s a risk that the storied history might eclipse the current vision. In the case of Mugler, though, the Casey Cadwallader era and the Thierry Mugler revival have coexisted, each attracting attention and renown in its own right — a rare, but obviously advantageous, phenomenon.

“The thing for me is that I love the archives so much and I respect it so much that I want everyone to know about it,” he says. “I’m also not the kind of designer who came in and just did what I wanted. I became Casey at Mugler — I totally transformed myself because of that archive. I really believe in what the brand was in the past and that should be a lot of what it is in the future. Luckily, we got along, the archive and I.”

Another through-line that connects Cadwallader to Mugler, the person, is a love of performance and performers, and centering them in their work. Dressing and designing for music artists was one of Cadwallader’s priorities at the house — so much so, that he canceled pre-collections in favor of “special projects,” like costuming a tour or working on music videos. So, Mugler only shows two seasons annually, spring and fall; the rest you see on stage.

“It says so much the way someone moves, the fact that they’re performing — it exudes this sexy confidence,” he says.

It’s paid off for the brand, too: Mugler has gone viral time and time again for its custom looks for Dua Lipa’s tours, its ongoing relationship with Megan Thee Stallion (Cadwallader even directed the music video for “Plan B”) and many other artist collaborations.

“It presents itself as a calling card for the brand, because then people identify the aesthetics of the things that these people wear,” he says. “I tried very carefully to interweave things, so that if you love Dua Lipa’s couture outfit with 200,000 crystals on it, you might also like the leggings that don’t have the crystals. It’s trying to always make sure that when we put all that effort into those stage projects, there’s something about the collection that’s there.”

This kind of work — which Cadwallader dubs “the new couture” — “serves as my laboratory,” he says, “my no-limits, what-do-you-want-to-do thing, instead of the can-we-sell-this part of my brain.” It’s also something he takes very seriously.

“If you imagine, ‘Okay, this is for Beyoncé — she better be able to dance,’ because I’m not gonna be responsible for her not being able to dance,” he says. “It’s the same thing as doing someone’s wedding gown: You’re going to try your very best because you’re giving this piece of work to someone’s really important moment. It becomes a real love.” (Cadwallader created a major after-party look for Chloë Sevigny’s wedding in May.)

There are a few things that make a Mugler piece a Mugler piece. For one, Cadwallader believes it “should be identifiable from across the street.” There are the aesthetic signatures, but it goes much deeper than that.

“There’s an attitude to it that has to stay for me,” he says. “The big thing overall is that Mugler is supposed to induce confidence. It’s supposed to be something that you don’t feel just so-so about. You’re supposed to touch it and be like, ‘Oh my God, this is crazy. This is so exciting.’ By putting it on, you’re not just being you right in the middle — you’re being super-sonic you.”

Historically for the house, that has meant emphasizing the body. More specifically, it’s about “this very strong respect for the body, to always try to highlight it and make it look as strong as possible,” according to Cadwallader. “That doesn’t mean you have to have a certain figure. It means that you have to love your figure and how to work with it. There are simple things you can say, like a jacket shoulder has to be strong, the waist has to be nipped, the hip has to be curvy — but more than it being about those specifics, it’s more about the feeling that it gives you: very sensual, excited, understanding of yourself.”

Materiality and silhouette are two characteristics that tie Cadwallader’s Mugler back to the house’s founder.

He’s done it so far with his Mugler ready-to-wear, which heavily leans on the form-fitting and the corseted, often working with a restrained color palette to really emphasize the garment and its silhouette.

“What I’ve been trying to do over these years is to be very, very strong with the aesthetics of what I’m doing so that they’re very shocking and bare and special and thought-provoking,” Cadwallader says. “Eventually, there’s a lot of room to expand that DNA into things that are slightly easier to wear.”

There’s a lot on his dream board: accessories, swimwear, underwear, makeup… And as always, he’s turning to the archive for inspiration.

“I’m really into decadent and wild textures,” he says. “I’ve been looking at the things that are a little bit more mysterious what they’re really made out of, so the ‘Chimère’ fish person with all the different colors [on display at ‘Couturissime’] is fascinating to me at the moment.”

Don’t be surprised if you spot Cadwallader at the Brooklyn Museum (though, probably not for research): “My favorite thing to do is to watch people walk through and hear what they’re saying,” he says. “There’s a lot of people who have no idea who I am. I’ll follow this nice older couple through, and the things that they say are just hilarious.”

Having the last stop of “Couturissime” be New York is “really meaningful,” especially when considering Mugler, the man, and his legacy, Cadwallader argues.

“It’s a city that was really important to Manfred — he lived here for 15 years, and it’s always been a big inspiration for him,” he says. “There’s nothing like seeing it in person. It does its own dazzling.”

This TikTok-Famous Beauty Brand Wants to Change Our Relationship With Makeup

[ad_1]

When Fiona Chan first found herself stuck in Hong Kong as pandemic lockdowns began, she couldn’t have anticipated that within the next year, she’d found a beauty company or launch viral product. But that transformative and uncertain period proved to be a productive one for the entrepreneur, who introduced makeup company Youthforia — the fruits of those lockdown labors — in 2021.

Youthforia develops its products to be unique from anything else on the market, and that applies to both form and function: Its hero SKUs include color-changing “oil” blush (the aforementioned “viral product”) and lip glosses that magnetically fit together like Legos. But flashy, fun exteriors aside, the brand’s formulas are also rather game-changing. Youthforia positions itself at the intersection of color cosmetics and skin care, taking a more holistic approach that doesn’t put its users in the position of sacrificing the health of their complexions for the fleeting glory of a makeup look.

“Why do we just accept that makeup has to be bad for your skin?” asks Chan during a recent phone interview with Fashionista. “What if you made makeup that was really good for your skin?”

It’s a simple idea, but it’s also one that has the potential to upend years of traditional, stale thinking in the cosmetics industry. For Chan, whose background is not in beauty but rather in tech sales, the concept came from a place of personal experience: Growing up, the founder recalls, she’d delight in trying out various makeup looks, but also had the bad habit of falling asleep before she could wash them off.

Now, her brand — a streamlined, five-piece edit of primer, setting spray, lip gloss, blush and an accompanying brush — is like an ode to her youthful skin transgressions. Youthforia markets itself as makeup you can sleep in.

In the early stages of developing the brand, Chan says, she’d personally test every lab sample by sleeping in it. “I know that I just have these habits,” she says, “and I wanted something where if it ever happened, I would feel okay.” Not only are Youthforia’s products safe to sleep in, but they also incorporate beneficial skin-care ingredients like moisturizers and antioxidants.

“When I look at a tube, I think, how many skin-care benefits can I fit into this tube? And I like to stack on as many benefits for as many skin concerns, skin types, age ranges,” explains Chan. “I try to really think about how can we be inclusive at the formulation level… even the way that we select molecule shapes.”

This also means that when formulating her products, Chan is considering the 13-year-old girl with acne as much as “her mom who is over 60 and has a very different set of skin concerns.” The holistic view and idea of stacking skin-care benefits, Chan says, is rooted in Chinese medicine where “every little thing can affect something else.” The idea that problems do not exist in isolation is a powerful motivator for the founder.

In addition to drawing inspiration from Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, Youthforia also relies on color theory to inform some aspects of its formulas.

“Our pink setting spray is pink because when you’re sick, your skin turns a little bit green,” says Chan. “Our green blush is green because green is opposite of pink and that neutralizes the color enough for the color-changing,” she explains of her viral color-changing blush.

Chan’s ideas about beauty have resonated among Gen Z consumers in particular, and the brand has stirred up attention on social media, primarily via TikTok. Though the founder says she wasn’t a content creator prior to launching Youthforia, she turned into one “out of necessity.”

“I have really come to love and appreciate that content format because it’s like, you have eight seconds to get your point across. And every time you’re making content, you’re asking permission for people’s time and attention. So you want to make it impactful,” she says.

Two years after its launch, Youthforia has become somewhat of a force in color cosmetics: In October, the company expanded its retail footprint from a direct-to-consumer business to an in-store and online partnership with Ulta. Chan says she expects 2022 revenue to quadruple from the previous year.

“Every time that I trusted my gut or stayed true to who I am and my strengths, it’s always done really well,” Chan says, reflecting on the lessons she’s learned since becoming a founder. “Being yourself is actually the answer to all of this. To any question you have, you can trust your gut. You know what will work for you… your journey is so unique and so true to you.”

As for what’s next in the brand’s journey, Chan says she envisions a world in which consumers can create a full-face makeup look, start to finish, using only Youthforia products. (A current focus is introducing a foundation that Chan has been developing since 2021.)

Chan is also energized and excited about what the future holds for the beauty industry as a whole. She’s inspired by her cohort of up-and-coming brand founders and the perspectives they’re bringing to the table: “A lot of new brands are driven by just very passionate founders that come from a wide variety of diverse backgrounds. Just learning from other people’s cultures and their life experiences and what they use for beauty in terms of rituals, or routines, or ingredients… It’s super interesting.”

Gabriela Hearst wants you to know about nuclear fusion
Chloé Creative Director Gabriela Hearst has always been environmentally conscious in her work, having been credited with the fashion industry’s first carbon-neutral runway in 2019. Nowadays, Hearst is taking her passion to the next level with her research into nuclear fusion, a cleaner (yet presently unattained) energy alternative. Heart’s Spring 2023 collection is inspired by visits to nuclear fusion labs across the country and the globe, her runway featuring physics-inflected designs and chemical patterns across clothes. Meanwhile, Hearst’s latest resort collection was aimed at spreading fusion literacy to the public, through motifs like laser-cut stars and spangled leather jackets. “What I can do is to use whatever platform I have to communicate about this energy,” the designer says. {Vanity Fair}

Just in time for the holiday season, Gap has once again partnered with legendary designer Dapper Dan for what is sure to be another highly sought-after (and quick-to-sell-out) collaboration.

On Wednesday, the retailer announced plans to bring back the “Dap” hoodie style — but this time in a slew of new festive patterns perfect for gifting or wearing in family photos. The limited-edition drop is heavy on the plaid, which has been imagined in three different colorways: red, yellow and forest green. The fourth design features a mustard-colored houndstooth print. The cozy pullovers will retail for $128 and are launching with an IRL drop at Gap’s Harlem location on 125th Street on Nov. 29; a global online launch will follow on the brand’s website on Nov. 30 at 12 p.m. EST.

To celebrate the new release, Dap himself will make an appearance at the aforementioned New York City store on Nov. 29 beginning at 9 a.m. Following the event, Gap and Dapper Dan are slated to kick off a “Gap House Sessions” series spotlighting the nonprofit youth development and social justice organization The Brotherhood Sister Sol, or “BroSis.” The designer will lead a discussion with local Harlem youth, as well as orchestrate performances by the Peace Poets and other surprises. (Gap has also pledged $100,000 to the foundation to further its arts, education and community focus. )

Meet Futurewise, a New Skin-Care Brand Dedicated Exclusively to Slugging

[ad_1]

Futurewise is launching with a cream, balm and mist — each priced at $25 or less.

Can a hyper-specific skin-care brand based on one viral concept find success in the beauty industry? Futurewise, a new direct-to-consumer venture dedicated entirely to the practice of “slugging,” is betting on it. The entire three-piece range, which makes its debut on Wednesday, is centered on the trendy practice of layering one’s skin care strategically and relying on occlusives to trap moisture in the skin. While the technique behind slugging isn’t new, it’s one that has taken off on social media over the last few years, thanks to its more recent attention-grabbing moniker and “skinfluencers” like Charlotte Palermino popularizing it on TikTok.

“Slugging” has also had a moment in pop-culture vocabulary — inspired by a cameo in “Finding Nemo,” according to Insider — but the practice has in fact been around for centuries, and can be traced back to Indigenous communities in the 15th century. Futurewise’s take on the trend comes in the form of three layerable products (each priced between $22-$24) focused on strengthening the skin barrier, which in turn helps to maintain overall the health, moisture levels and natural functions of the skin.

Futurewise’s three-SKU launch includes Slug Boost, a hydrating face mist spiked with hyaluronic acid, squalane and glycerin; Slug Cream, a moisturizer that also relies on glycerin; and Slug Balm, the rich occlusive cream designed to serve as the final step in the slugging routine.

“At its core, [slugging is] applying an occlusive layer over the skin to help prevent water loss,” explains Futurewise co-founder, co-president and general manager Janet Park. “That really helps with hydration, and it creates this environment on your skin that helps it repair itself.” Futurewise’s mission is to make this moisturizing technique modern and fun for a Gen-Z audience, since many of the existing products that are used for slugging — from brands like Aquaphor, Vaseline and CeraVe — can’t necessarily be described that way.

Other Futurewise co-founders are former beauty editor and serial skin-care entrepreneur Julie Schott and Brian Bordainick, whose existing brands include Starface and Plus (both of which each have similarly specific purposes). Sara DeCou, who has also been involved in Starface, serves as a co-founder, co-president of brand and creative. Suffice it to say, the team behind Futurewise has experience reaching younger consumers with a strong point of view, an eye-catching aesthetic and an authentic brand purpose.

For Park, it’s about “bringing optimism and joy to areas where it may not always be present and doing that in a way that encourages self-expression,” she tells Fashionista. “With Futurewise, we saw an opportunity to do that in the context of the continued journey of the skin-care consumer as they get older and… start to see changes in your skin. Your relationship with your skin changes as you get older, and then on top of that, you’re experiencing all these things in your life.”

Futurewise is available exclusively via the brand’s own website, futurewise.world. The formulas are all vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, per the brand.

Ashley Graham, Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski and More Are ‘Muses’ in the 2023 Pirelli Calendar

[ad_1]

Fashion, at its best, is art. This is a belief to which the Pirelli calendar has stayed true for the past 50 years: The famously exclusive and nearly-impossible-to-obtain project — which is produced by the Italian car tire company as a corporate gift for distinguished clients and VIPs — has historically combined the glamor of high fashion with the raciness of nude photography, in an elevated, pin-up poster kind of way. And its big reveal has become a highly-anticipated event in and of itself.

The 2023 Pirelli calendar, lensed by Australian-born photographer Emma Summerton, is titled “Love Letters to the Muse,” and has quite the stacked crew (with set designer Viki Rutsch and costume director Amanda Harlech, who happens to be a former muse to John Galliano and Karl Lagerfeld herself) and cast.

Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, Ashley Graham, Cara Delevingne, Karlie Kloss and more appear in this year’s spread, each assigned a label based on their unique passions. Ratajkowski, the author of the essay collection “My Body,” is named “the writer,” while Kloss — whose scholarship program Kode with Klossy teaches young women how to code — is the “tech savant.”

For Summerton, whose style is highly experimental, the Pirelli calendar represented a moment where she could abandon commercial constraints and instead focus completely on artistry through a whole body of work — a rare opportunity in a profit-oriented industry.

“I started thinking about a painter, music, film actress or book character that I loved,” she says. “It became about creative women who inspire me, and then the whole idea fell onto the page.”

The project evolved into a collaborative affair between Summerton and each of the 14 women. While their subjects are dubbed “muses,” the images dismantle the traditional artist-muse dynamic, not only celebrating the women for their physical beauty, but also highlighting their unique inner qualities.

“In working with these women who do so many other things, I thought it would be great to give them this platform to speak about the work,” says Summerton. “[The photograph] was tied around who the girl was, a lot of it was imagining what kind of world she could be in based on the message she was bringing.”

Kloss, for one, felt that there was something really special about bringing “all aspects of who [she] is to [this year’s] calendar.”

“What an honor to be named the ‘tech savant,’” she says. “[Emma] did such a beautiful job creating this tech dynamic with the neon lights, colors, abstract mirrors and dome… It was special because a huge part of who I am is the work I do with Kode with Klossy.” (In her photograph, Kloss dons a futuristic, light-up ensemble and silver boots with a neon-blue wig.)

Graham — a newcomer to the Pirelli calendar — says this “is a big marker in a model’s career… It’s more than just a beautiful woman stepping into her sexuality. There’s a story behind it.” She poses in silver latex stockings and underwear encased in a wave-like sculpted piece designed by Amanda Harlech. “I was wearing this huge piece of art. I love doing shoots like that because you can just lean into the fantasy.”

The images in the 2023 Pirelli calendar offer a magical glimpse into the multifaceted nature of these muses. It may be difficult to get your hands on the physical copy, but these visuals are a feast for the eyes — click through the gallery below to see some of the highlights.

Inside the Rise of Interior, NYC’s Next Big ‘IYKYK’ Brand

[ad_1]

“Taking something really beautiful and then fucking it up”: That’s what excites Jack Miner about his work at Interior, the label he co-founded with longtime friend Lily Miesmer. Together, the two are set on redefining “specialness” — not by aspiring to prim perfection, but by taking luxurious classics and flipping them into something sharp-witted.

Since launching in 2020, Interior has slowly evolved its take on elegance from a certain crafty intricacy (Miner previously worked at Bode) towards an altogether darker vision, ultimately building to a boiling point in its first runway show this past September. The duo burned, tugged and tore at lace and silk, taking surface perfection and dragging it lithely through the gutter.

“[It’s] creating specialness through a sense of tension, which ultimately is emotive,” says Miner. “We want to convert women on emotion, we want people to feel something.”

A look from Interior’s Spring 2023, which debuted on the runway at New York Fashion Week in September.

Miesmer and Miner are currently in their feelings, too. Logging in over Zoom — Miner from the office, Meismer from a hotel room somewhere in Europe — the two have already spent plenty of time weighing the highs and lows of the experience. With a little over a month’s distance from their brand’s Spring 2023 show, titled Sweet Days of Discipline, Miner explains that he’s finally arrived at a calm sense of joy.

“When I think back on it now, I could almost cry.”

When they set about designing Interior’s most recent collection, a runway show wasn’t even on their minds. In June, they found out that the label had been selected as a recipient of IMG’s NYFW Small Businesses grant, which ultimately pushed them to present their latest in a whole new context, graduating from a February presentation-cum-martinis and fries party at the Waverly Inn to a dark theater in the East Village.

“[It] forced us to do something, in a good way, bigger than we were mentally ready to do. It proved to us that we really could do it, and that we were ready,” says Miesmer. “Jack and I joked the minute it was over, ‘Okay, we’re never doing that again.’ And then we were like, ‘We could put on a show in three weeks. It would be fine.’”

Interior’s Fall 2022 collection was presented at the Waverly Inn in February. This look would go on to be worn byundefinedTessa Thompson, who has donned the brand multiple times on the red carpet.

“It’s an almost existential experience,” adds Miner. “There’s this realization that everyone is there helping you realize a dream that you have for yourself. Everyone’s working toward a common goal together, which is really wonderful, but it simultaneously feels like the stakes are so high — for everyone, and for you most especially, as the person that’s decided to put this thing on and ask everyone for their support.”

For Spring 2023, the duo looked to the idea of the woman in the attic, or, as described in the show notes, “this subtle nod to a creeping chaos in spite of frantic efforts to keep order.” On the day of the show, as The Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind” played forcefully over the speakers, the models emerged from their proverbial prisons, hems dirtied, sweaters torn, shirts askew.

“Stressed socialites that looked ready to snap,” is how Sarah Spellings, fashion news editor at Vogue, describes the look.

Having reviewed the label’s last four collections for the outlet, Spellings sees the show as theatrical, an evolution from its past seasons.

“My favorite detail is that they worked with a movement coach to perfect the walk,” she says. “They’re very much leading with their heads and kind of storming. It wasn’t a graceful walk, necessarily.”

Eschewing the typical affluent heiresses as inspiration, it’s Bertha Mason — the wealthy first wife locked inside the Rochester mansion in “Jane Eyre” — who finally gets her due.

Still, the question must be asked: Will shoppers find distressed dresses and undone hems luxurious?

Often, when buyers pay a visit to studios after a runway presentation, they expect to see perhaps double the amount of pieces that appeared on the runway. (There will be commercial designs meant to be more realistically sellable.) Instead, the duo behind Interior stand by the thoughtful unraveling of every single runway look.

Before debuting a collection, they scrutinize every piece down to the last button, choosing only to offer exactly what the audience of editors and retail executives saw at the time of the show. They’re here to prove that specialness doesn’t always mean adding more. They attribute that assuredness and specificity in part to their launch amid the pandemic. There was an inherent essentialism from the start.

“There’s very little bullshit in the brand. There’s no filler,” Meismer says. “All we do is kill things that aren’t bringing our point of view to the world in a new, exciting way. Jack is merciless with a red pen whenever we’re going over our style count and our line plan.”

And while the friends admittedly approach fashion with an intellectual headiness, “our clothes are clothes that are about clothes, if that makes sense,” Miesner says.

But it would be foolish to write the brand off as clothing too smart for its own good: Ultimately, they understand that their designs can’t just exist for creativity’s sake.

“I don’t think that they would have a problem if someone told them, ‘Oh, yeah, like I did wear this white leather suit to go on a walk in Central Park during the rainstorm,’” Spellings says. “Something tells me that they’d be quite charmed by that.”

“If you’re coming at design from solely a commercial standpoint, it won’t work, and if you’re coming at that also exclusively from an artistic standpoint, it won’t work,” Miesner says. “It’s about finding the marriage of the two and figuring out how what you’re craving and what your woman is craving can translate into something that’s wearable and luxurious and feasible.”

Interior’s imperfect specialness has made it an industry favorite in only a few seasons.

The designers feel like harnessing that craving is more attainable than ever. Interior’s first retail launch was at Net-a-Porter as part of its Vanguard program; its Fall 2022 collection is the first available at brick-and-mortar stores — including Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue — for customers to see, touch and try on. In other words: Destruction is coming to the designer floor.

Interior is on the brink where many emerging brands find themselves: establishing its aesthetic while faced with evolution. New York has seen many up-and-coming labels lose sight of their original vision — or, on the opposite side of the pendulum, become too repetitive to successfully withstand the sweeping trend cycle.

Luckily, Meismer and Miner have a secret weapon on their side: “That survival gene that’s so embedded in our DNA will serve us forever,” says Meismer. “We do everything ourselves to a psychotic degree, and I hope we never lose that can-do spirit, because that’s when people get a little lazy and a little messy.”

As Interior’s Spring 2023 collection explores that tug towards chaos that emerges in the grasps for control, Meismer and Miner are in many ways lilting towards the opposite: In the spin of evolution, they’re finding solid ground. The center can hold.

Must Read: The Outlet Mall Opportunity, Where Will The Fashion Community Meet Without Twitter?

[ad_1]

Photo: Andreas Rentz/Getty Images

These are the stories making headlines in fashion on Tuesday.

The outlet mall opportunity
As a result of the pandemic “hangover,” retailers have been left with plenty of excess inventory due to overly optimistic sales forecasts. Instead of discounting these items in full-price stores, brands are looking to outlet malls to sell the pieces on a larger scale. Outlet owners are looking to diversify their spaces, building national and local restaurants, children’s playgrounds and more. Stephen Yalof, president and CEO of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers said in an early November earnings call, “Our channel is doing exactly what these retailers are paying for: being promotional, clearing excess inventory and … serving a purpose to the entire omnichannel retail ecosystem.” {Glossy}

Without Twitter, where will the fashion community meet?
After Balenciaga‘s sudden exit from Twitter in response to Elon Musk‘s overhaul of the site, the fashion community is beginning to wonder where their dialogue and commentary can live next. Jessica Quillin, a content strategist and former fashion editor said, “Half the people I know [on Twitter], I’ve been in touch with for 12 years,” and that the imminent downfall of the platform sent her into a “semi-panic.” Though many brands prefer the ability to better curate on Instagram, fashion fans like @theRobertoJones say “Instagram doesn’t work as well for having a true discussion.” {Vogue Business}

Grace Wales Bonner is the designer fashion needs
For The Washington Post, Robin Givhan profiles the London-based designer, Grace Wales Bonner. The two discuss the complexities in responding to Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, with Bonner saying her feelings are “complicated.” Givhan threads the needle from there to describing Bonner’s designs as having so much emotion, they cannot be properly described in words. Bonner’s design process is explored, as well as the rumors that she is next in line to lead menswear at Louis Vuitton. {The Washington Post}

Shondaland launches Seat at the Table initiative
Seat at the Table, an initiative launched by Shondaland, will facilitate partnerships with some of the artists from the company’s productions to create products representative of their work. The first collaboration is between “Bridgerton” costume designer Ellen Mirojnick and Monica Rich Kosann, a fine jewelry collection inspired by the romance of the hit Netflix series available to shop exclusively at monicarichkosann.com. {Fashionista inbox}

Ashley Benson Is the Latest Celebrity to Launch a Beauty Brand

[ad_1]

Ashley Benson is officially getting into beauty. And she’s doing so via a route plenty of celebrities have taken before: On Tuesday, the actor introduced ASH by Ashley Benson, an eponymous fragrance brand that also marks her first-ever solo business venture. (She had previously co-founded sunglasses label Privé Revaux in 2017 and craft spirits brand Thomas Ashbourne earlier this year.)

ASH by Ashley Benson’s debut range includes two scents, with additional fragrances set to launch in 2023. There’s East 12th, a rose-and-cedar blend inspired by New York City’s East Village, and The Eighth, a mix of bergamot, musk and cashmere wood inspired by Paris’ Eighth Arrondissement.

According to Benson, scent has played an important role in her life. As she tells Fashionista, it was her grandmother who first got her interested in personal fragrance at a young age. Then, in adulthood, Benson began to experiment with mixing and layering different perfumes on her own. “All my friends and people I worked with would ask me what I was wearing,” she says. “They would say that I’d leave this scent every time I walk into the room, or whenever I left my jacket on set or something. I never told anybody [what I was wearing], though, because I didn’t want anyone to steal my formula.”

This passion for scents, combined with Benson’s love of world travel, serves as the basis for the brand. Benson was visiting Morocco three years ago when the idea to create a fragrance brand first struck her, she tells Fashionista.

“I went Morocco on vacation and I happened to go to a fragrance merchant there in Marrakesh,” she recalls, noting that she bonded with the merchant for hours. “That’s when I first started to smell all kinds of different notes, and I actually created my own scent there for the first time. Literally two months after that, I got a call about doing a fragrance line, and I immediately said yes.”

In a span of 21 months, during which the fragrances went through more than 60 rounds of product testing, Benson reimagined some of the scents she had encountered during that trip to Morocco — and yet the resulting eaus harken to New York and Paris instead.

“I just want people to feel confident and in their own element while wearing this perfume and knowing that they can afford it,” she says. “I want people to wear these perfumes and remember where they were when they wore them. Fragrance, in general, is a very personal thing to put out there, and I’m happy I got to tell my story within it.”

Benson has dubbed The Eighth her personal favorite because it “takes me back to all the memories I’ve had in Paris,” she says, citing frequent stays at Hotel Costes. The color of the fragrance bottle is actually based on the French hotspot’s black lacquered walls and red velvet couches. “Every time I’m in Paris, it just brings me back to the energy there. It’s sexy, it’s intimate and it’s very much my vibe, so I wanted to reflect that in this scent.”

Photo: Courtesy of ASH by Ashley Benson

East 12th, Benson’s other inaugural perfume, references New York City, which the Los Angeles native has called home for the last six years. “I felt kind of thrown into the city, especially without really knowing the ins and outs of it,” she remembers of the time when she first arrived. “I didn’t really have a lot of friends when I moved here, either, so I spent a lot of time to myself exploring the city and finding who I am as an adult going into my 30s. Obviously, you’re so different in your early 20s, and I think it was really necessary for me to do. I feel very much in my element here and in every facet creatively, I thrive here more than I do in L.A.”

When asked to pair each scent with one of her on-screen characters, Benson assigns The Eighth to Hanna Marin from Freeform’s “Pretty Little Liars,” but adds that she’d probably wear both of them. As for East 12th? “I feel like [it] would definitely be Brit from ‘Spring Breakers,’” says Benson. “I also just finished an upcoming Amazon Prime Video series, and the character reminds me of her. She’s just very elegant and stylish and kind of gives me off more of a European vibe, so I think that character would be The Eighth, too.”

ASH by Ashley Benson fragrances will retail for $79 (for the 50mL bottles) and $25 (for the 8mL bottles). They are available Tuesday on ASHbyAshleyBenson.com, and will launch on Scentbird’s direct-to-consumer fragrance subscription platform on Thursday, Nov. 17.
