Roksanda Debuts Its First Haute Couture NFT at London Fashion Week (and It’s £25)
You’ve probably heard a lot about NFTs lately, and whether or not you’re a whiz at Web 3.0 just yet, the Metaverse is here to stay. An NFT (nonfungible token) is a unique digital asset that can be bought, sold, and traded in the emerging virtual world — and British ready-to-wear designer Roksanda is the first to debut metafashion at London Fashion Week. Roksanda partnered with London Fashion Week’s principal sponsor Clearpay to bring metafashion to the catwalk.

The BRIT Awards 2022 Red Carpet Is Serving “Matrix” Meets Mugler
It looks as if everybody on the red carpet at the 2022 BRIT Awards had recently attended a screening of “The Matrix Resurrections.” Apparently, the sartorial order of the day was “undisputedly cool,” with attendees taking us into the future by swanning the carpet in black cutouts, structural shapes, ankle-sweeping coats, and a whole lot of leather. BRIT Award winner Little Simz led the vanguard in an all-black ensemble layered with a pop of neon green, courtesy of Prada. She completed the look with some red-tinted sunglasses that Trinity would no doubt approve of. Behind her came Ashley Roberts in a standout black halter-neck Mônot gown with leather gloves — this time fusing “The Matrix” with the late, great Thierry Mugler. It was clear to see MuglerR...

Falling in Love With Corsets? We Found 15 Ways to Style the Romantic Trend
The sartorial effect of Bridgerton continues to steadily shape our closets. Corsets have been reimagined for 2021 in relaxed and minimal silhouettes. And thanks to the expert styling of celebrities, editors, and fashion insiders, we have tons of fresh new takes on the structured top that has come in and out of fashion for centuries. Rihanna, Bella Hadid, and Dua Lipa are strong advocates for the return of the corset in 2021. Rihanna was spotted in a Western-inspired snake-print corset while shooting a video with A$AP Rocky in mid-July. Hadid wore a corset to attend the Dior dinner at the Cannes Film Festival and paired it with loose-fit tailored trousers for a more relaxed interpretation. Lipa wore a decadent gold Jean Paul Gaultier corset for her “Demeanor” music video release...
Vibrant Printed Jeans Are the Autumn Fashion Trend You’re About to See Everywhere
Patchwork, hand-painted, and printed jeans are one of the most exciting 2021 fashion trends. This fresh take on classic denim is inspired by a broader post-lockdown aesthetic of joyful outfits, and handmade or DIY-inspired clothing. While we’re still keen on traditional animal prints, polka dots, and stripes, the best printed denim of 2021 is covered in surprisingly psychedelic and futuristic prints — like marbled patterns, wavy prints, ’70s florals, and warped cyber dots inspired by Jean Paul Gautier and Marine Serre. We must admit, Dua Lipa is our muse for taking a chance with printed trousers. The Future Nostalgia singer debuted a gorgeous pair of hand-painted jeans in spring 2021 that was created by British independent designer Kat Rose. As soon as we saw Lipa’s vibra...
Retro-Cool Halter Tops Are Making Our Summer Feel Like It’s 1969
Late-’60s and early-’70s fashion trends like retro halter tops are defining summer style in London.

Joining the already trending wide-leg trousers, crochet outfits, and groovy jumpsuits, we found 22 of the best halter tops to complete your psychedelic summer outfits.

5 Fresh Print Trends to Brighten Up Your Summer Outfits
As we reacquaint ourselves with the joy of dressing up, summer’s bold and punchy print trends are making outfit inspiration come easily. Many of us fell in love with the gentle appeal of gingham dresses in mid-spring and early summer, and now that we’re well into the warmer months, there are a few more print trends that have charmed the fashion set. Gingham checks go way back to the 18th century, but when we think of gingham checks today, we’re likely to reference the wholesome housewife aesthetic of the 1950s. Much like the bread baking, knitting, and gardening that became popular while we spent more time at home, gingham checks have a cosy and handmade vibe. We’re especially loving the sell-out gingham styles from Molby the Label and Zara. Once gingham became 2021...

How the Handcrafted Trend Defines the Fashion and Lifestyle of Our Generation
It’s almost impossible to realise an aesthetic movement is being born — or reborn — when you are in the eye of a cultural storm. The pandemic is undoubtedly one of the most pivotal historic moments that we will have witnessed in our lifetime. The reflections that many of us have experienced while being isolated in our homes have inspired a longing to return to nature, a renewed appreciation in the therapy of making things by hand, and a criticism for fast fashion and the pace of the internet. The handcrafted trend is about to define the fashion and lifestyle of our generation. Taking inspiration from the arts and crafts movement of the late 19th century and 1960s subcultures, we look at the fashion trends that are responding to work-from-home culture, environmentalism, and antiracism...
