Write On

I have always been such a sucker for elegant calligraphy. The way it looks, the time it it took to write in such a exquisite way. The message didn’t even matter much. It could even read something as simple as “I’ve popped out to the store.”, but in calligraphy it is received as a love letter that looks more like, “Darling, I have gone on a short outing to gather some goods. If you need anything at all please text me. I cannot wait to finish my task so that I may once again, be reunited with you. With all my heart…”.

Surreal in Real Life

Edeline is a true artist in which she uses multimedia to present her collections. This season she takes a surreal approach in her fashion film. By distorting the characters in the film, she emphasizes the usage of color blocking and complex pattern drafting in her designs.

"Fluidity 1"

London Fashion Week always had an energetic and enticing vibe to it and I was curious to see if the fashion industry was ready to carry on again after the forced pause of live shows and events. Seems like all was well for the AJOY SAHU SS22 launch.

Everybody in the Pool!

In the past, it is safe to say that swimwear to me just seemed like "outside lingerie". E.MACBEAN reinvents this category with the emphasis put on the fact that swimwear is "outside clothes".

Two for the Road

Utilitarian parkas and easily chic trench coats fly down the runway with swishing long fringed pieces. There is no need to sacrifice dramatic expression for utilitarianism. Bold prints in neon green are anchored by shades of taupe and obsidian.

Fashion Apocalypse

Once upon a time there began a beautiful fashion house born from Nigerian designer Kenneth Ize. It would evolve into a pivotal collection for African designers and be showcased to the world on the Paris Fashion Week platform.

Structured Luxury

In this gender-neutral collection, Ujoh AW21 breaks all boundaries of silhouette, color and materials. Relaxed and asymmetrical tailored styles are fluid against a body. Oversized jackets and separates are pulled back together with corset style belts.

Chaotic Juxtaposition

What were once lively weeks where industry professionals and socialites converge and admire the artworks of these designers are now links to virtual fashion shows sent to a select few in the industry. It all came to a screeching halt in 2020.

"Cozyristic"

In a world where we are reevaluating the way we consume and live, fashion is not a category to be overlooked. We express ourselves and our identities through the clothes we wear. In this pivotal time that we are experiencing now, who we were is not who we are becoming. Exploring the existence of ourselves, living with less is changing the fashion game forever.

New Victoria

The signature frothy frocks, liberal with the yardage of lace, chiffon and other luxury textiles mesmerizes audiences. The magic of the Bora Aksu collections lie in being able to ignite the playful, imaginative and fantastic daydreams within all of us.

"Memory of a Dress"

AW21 Edeline Lee presents her collection as a short story, "Memory of a Dress" in collaboration with podcaster Paul Bae. Edeline comments: “We are all navigating the digital landscape right now, but my brand operates on a human-scale." This season is an experimentation with storytelling in digital mediums, positioning fashion back in the realm of a form of performance art.

Upcycling Fashion in LA

Through the years I have followed Manny as he evolved from the Gents Closet to Thread Haus and his journey has been unfolding beautifully.
