In fact, she was ahead of the trend. In a subsequent speech to said client – the imperious designer Pierre Cadault, who had declared Cooper to be ringarde (basic) – Cooper illustrated the importance of the bag charm in the fashion food... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/trends/article/3267244/bag-charms-are-trending-dua-lipa-emily-paris-just-jane-birkin-back-day?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/trends/article/3267244/bag-charms-are-trending-dua-lipa-emily-paris-just-jane-birkin-back-day?utm_source=rss_feed Sun, 23 Jun 2024 06:00:15 +0000 Wouldn’t it be useful if you could somehow get some of your five a day from your wardrobe? Creative director Jonathan Anderson certainly thinks so – his latest collection for Loewe was laden with as many veggies as your average Californian health restaurant. And while the crops in question (turnips, carrots and radishes) were closer to a medieval peasant’s diet than classic green juice ingredients, they have never looked more modern. Particularly when modelled by Emily Blunt at her recent... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/trends/article/3264574/how-emily-blunt-planted-vegetable-fashion-trend-fall-guy-stars-ripe-red-carpet-look-showed-greens?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/trends/article/3264574/how-emily-blunt-planted-vegetable-fashion-trend-fall-guy-stars-ripe-red-carpet-look-showed-greens?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 03 Jun 2024 20:00:13 +0000 The world’s largest such fair, the annual Salone del Mobile Milano (or Milan Furniture Fair) started more than 60 years ago to showcase the best in Italian design, but today attracts brands and designers from around the world.

Overalls, khaki pants, chore coats and cargo trousers have become regular wardrobe staples for the likes of Emily Ratajkowski, Sofia Richie (who was recently snapped showing off her baby bump in a pair of dark green overalls) and... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/trends/article/3261165/it-girls-dad-looks-emily-ratajkowski-sofia-richie-and-hailey-bieber-are-rocking-overalls-cargo-pants?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/trends/article/3261165/it-girls-dad-looks-emily-ratajkowski-sofia-richie-and-hailey-bieber-are-rocking-overalls-cargo-pants?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 03 May 2024 02:00:22 +0000 On camera or off, Zendaya stays in character. From her wet-look Balmain gown at the 2021 Venice Film Festival to her recent jaw-dropping futuristic Mugler bodysuit at the Dune: Part Two world premiere, the young star has built quite a reputation for bold, method fashion. The 27-year-old actress, who will co-chair the Met Gala in May, has graduated from Disney Channel heroine to blockbuster star and budding fashion icon over her nearly 15 years in the spotlight.

Koo, the artist behind the South Korean pavilion at this month’s Venice Biennale in Italy, is known for transformative and large-scale installations that play with space and the senses. Curated by Lee Seol-hui and Jacob Fabricius, Koo’s Venice exhibition, titled “Odorama Cities”, will open on April 20 and evoke a portrait of the Korean peninsula through scent.

It’s been politicised, worn by sports players, and is a staple of streetwear and skate culture. It’s the uniform of big time tech geeks in Silicon Valley, a pop culture mainstay (Rocky Balboa played by Sylvester Stallone in Rocky, for one) and a favourite of high fashion. Right now, luxury fashion can’t get enough of the hoodie.

Not coincidentally, that’s when a then-little-known Northern Irish designer unveiled his first collection for the LVMH-owned house. His name, of course, was Jonathan Anderson – founder of London-based JW Anderson.

For years, this traditional art form has been used to craft classic objects like glasses and crockery, making it a great alternative for interior lovers looking for durable and eco-friendly options. Now ceramics are in the spotlight again, thanks to a growing group of artists who are reenvisaging this time-honoured craft for a younger, cooler audience.

Held at the Shanghai Exhibition Centre, a heritage building dating back to 1955, the “Crafted World” exhibition showcases the entire universe of Loewe, the leather-goods house established in 1846 and to this day... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/fashion-news/article/3256302/loewes-first-ever-retrospective-exhibition-crafted-world-shanghai-celebrates-its-history-and?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/fashion-news/article/3256302/loewes-first-ever-retrospective-exhibition-crafted-world-shanghai-celebrates-its-history-and?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 22 Mar 2024 03:45:36 +0000 Amid the slew of so-called fashion aesthetics in recent years, from “dark academia” to “old money”, one constant has held – the practically eternal appeal of preppy style. What’s more, this elemental way of dressing – of crisp classics and WASP-y traces, of reliable old faithfuls and time for leisure – is a ready foundation for adding your own twist. Preppy style might have its origins in the early 1910s in Ivy League universities and was particularly popular in the 1950s, but it’s cycled... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/celebrity-style/article/3254178/age-old-allure-preppy-style-rihanna-and-hailey-biebers-twinning-moment-saltburns-jacob-elordi-and?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/celebrity-style/article/3254178/age-old-allure-preppy-style-rihanna-and-hailey-biebers-twinning-moment-saltburns-jacob-elordi-and?utm_source=rss_feed Sun, 10 Mar 2024 04:00:12 +0000 French houses dominate Paris Fashion Week but – much like London – the city is also a magnet for international designers aiming to make a mark on a global level, especially ones from Asia. Vivienne Tam, the Chinese designer based between New York and Hong Kong, has already built an international business and has shown her collections in New York for many years, but this season she decamped to Paris to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her eponymous label and also the 60th anniversary of... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/fashion-news/article/3254050/paris-fashion-week-2024-exciting-show-highlights-including-striking-autumn/winter-designs-balenciaga?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/fashion-news/article/3254050/paris-fashion-week-2024-exciting-show-highlights-including-striking-autumn/winter-designs-balenciaga?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 04 Mar 2024 05:11:20 +0000 It was a busy few days in London as Hollywood A-listers and fashion insiders descended upon the city this week: the former to attend the Baftas (British Academy Film Awards), and the latter to take part in shows and presentations as part of London Fashion Week. The fashion posse had a lot to celebrate as this year marks the 40th anniversary of London Fashion Week. “We are looking back at 40 years of creativity and all this emerging talent rising through – their stories, their voices – and it’s... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/fashion-news/article/3252511/london-fashion-week-2024-burberry-and-jw-anderson-simone-rocha-erdem-and-molly-goddard-citys?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/fashion-news/article/3252511/london-fashion-week-2024-burberry-and-jw-anderson-simone-rocha-erdem-and-molly-goddard-citys?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 20 Feb 2024 02:58:51 +0000 Dough Beings are the Margiela of the Instagram world. In an age when it’s almost mandatory for a founder to proudly become the face of the company and share his or her personal story, the two sisters who launched this online-only bakery prefer to remain blissfully anonymous – much like the eponymous designer of the French luxury fashion house Martin Margiela (renamed Maison Margiela after he left).

A wardrobe refresh symbolises starting the year with a clean slate and helps usher in plenty of good fortune.

BeanBoat and Tote, the way some of the coolest brands right now such as Bode and Thom Browne subvert preppy mainstays like rugby stripes, not to mention J.Crew’s big return – but have you ever wanted to knot a sweater around your shoulders more? The ultimate preppy styling move, the sweater (preferably cable-knit but not compulsory) has made a triumphant return.

Holy grail bags like Hermès’ Kelly and Birkin, and Chanel’s 2.55 are flagship designs that continue to be coveted today. These days, brands vie to produce new “It” bags, hoping to create a single accessory that can carry over for a few seasons and gain the favour of fashion commentators, celebrities, influencers and, ultimately, consumers.
