Y’all, I’m writing this on Saturday night after just watching the Maison Margiela Spring/Summer 2021 film – and whoa. It’s a forty-five minute piece created by Creative Director John Galliano and filmmaker Nick Knight, two of the artsiest, most shamelessly avante-garde folk in the business. It’s a film as much about product as it is […]
In so many ways, Hanifa represents the zeitgeist of the millennial generation: innovative, philanthropic, socially-conscious, female-centric, led by a 29 year-old Black woman. Her designs walk that narrow line of genius where ingenuity, architecture, flow, practicality, craft, and artwork all somehow converge into one, distinct voice. A “sextuple-point” of inspiration, I suppose – you’ll see […]
Want to get involved with the Anti-Racism Movement? If #blackouttuesday taught us anything, it’s that now more than ever, we need to amplify Black voices. Everything on this list is a form of protest. Everything that serves to equalize privilege, dismantle white supremacy, and allow for POC to flourish is, in itself, protest. Some actions […]
One of the great joys of keeping up with fashion weeks is discovering up-and-coming designers and watching as they grow over the years. You start to feel like you’re a part of their story, even if you never bought or wore a single piece of theirs, because you were rooting for them the whole time. […]
There’s been a lot going on in our corner of the universe. Couture Week, impeachment, the Iowa Caucuses today, and Fashion Month is just around the corner. So today, let’s direct our attention to a few of – in my opinion – the best Pre-Fall 2020 collections that have been trickling in over the past […]
One of the joys of watching runway shows is that you never know what will hook your imagination. It’s sort of like looking through one of those View Masters from the 90s and getting lost in the slides, not knowing what’s next, and not caring either, because what’s most important is the image right in […]
I asked, you answered – in a Milan Fashion Week showdown, our sisters over on IG chose the Moschino Spring/Summer 2020 collection as the target for today’s runway critique! Versace came in at a close second; Gucci, a very distant third (although I would have loved to tear into all that terrible straight jacket imagery). […]
From my last post, you may know that I recently went to Coach’s Fall trunk show at their store in downtown San Francisco. I mean, who doesn’t love a good Coach purse? Haha. One of my friends, Akshathaa Venkat, put together the event and did a stellar job – I mean, there were new and […]
If you love fashion and haven’t tapped into how political it is, you are missing out. Like, a lot. There are so many ways to engage with it, whether at the “is-it-cute-or-not” level, the “brand legacy” level, the sustainability level, etc – and none of them are wrong. It’s ART, people! And as such, there […]
Today’s offering is a mini-post of sorts, since next week kicks off Fashion Month and it’s going to be very content-heavy (who’s excited?!? Moi!). So let’s get to it: May I recommend Nicholas maxi dresses? Hear me out. Last week, my mom and stepdad were in town, which meant lots of delicious family dinners and […]
