This year, her Eras Tour became the first billion-dollar concert tour, but back when she was a not-yet-famous 14-year-old, she epitomised her song “Teardrops on My Guitar” in a moody 2003 ad campaign for American clothing retailer, Abercrombie & Fitch. While Swift continued her quick march to global domination, her relationship with the fashion brand unfortunately ended for good when they released a T-shirt in 2013 featuring a... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/people/celebrities/article/3278259/guess-who-taylor-swift-once-modelled-abercrombie-fitchs-never-goes-out-style-white-t-shirt-and-now?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/people/celebrities/article/3278259/guess-who-taylor-swift-once-modelled-abercrombie-fitchs-never-goes-out-style-white-t-shirt-and-now?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 12 Sep 2024 21:00:08 +0000 Since her days as a fashion student at the Parsons School of Design in New York, Daisy Wang Jingwen has been weaving a modern Chinese element into her everyday style. It may have something to do with her cultural roots. As a native of Qingdao, a city in China’s Shandong province, the 29-year-old is instinctually drawn to Chinese aesthetics. And as a badminton player in the past, she values and prioritises comfort and athleisure wear. Yet there was never a brand that quite combined her love of... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3276084/chinese-traditional-fashion-and-modern-design-merge-new-york-clothing-brand-dawang?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3276084/chinese-traditional-fashion-and-modern-design-merge-new-york-clothing-brand-dawang?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 31 Aug 2024 10:15:09 +0000 Since its relatively recent inception in the mid-2000s, Copenhagen Fashion Week has come a long way. Now unofficially dubbed “fashion’s fifth city” – after the “Big Four” parade of fashion weeks across New York, London, Milan and Paris, of course – the Danish capital hosts hordes of buyers, editors and influencers biannually, many of whom come from far away to admire and learn from the trendy new brands that this tiny design powerhouse continues to churn out season after season.

Perhaps no other fashion item has crossed over so perfectly with pop culture. Consider Britney Spears’ “Dump Him” shirt in 2002, or Julia Roberts’ handmade “A Low Vera” shirt that same year. The former came after the pop star and Justin Timberlake broke up, and the latter was interpreted as an act of shade throwing at her now-husband’s then-wife, Vera (it was a messier time!).

The obvious option today is a hi-tech, high-comfort pair of trainers by Swiss sportswear giant On, which is backed by fellow Swiss icon Roger Federer and counts Spanish luxury house Loewe, British singer FKA Twigs, and Korean streetwear darling Post Archive Faction (PAF) as recent collaborators.

La Serenissima, or the most serene, as the Venetian Republic is often called, is considered a place filled with a magical sense of possibility. It was within this dream world, in the town of Marghera, that Italian high fashion trainer and athleisure brand Golden Goose was born in 2000.

Especially when Miuccia Prada, fashion’s ultimate weathervane, deems it so. For the designer’s spring/summer 24 collection for Miu Miu, board shorts – quintessential surfer girl fare – made an appearance. They were styled with polos and button-downs, smart little jackets and nifty little beach-ready rope sandals, complete with neon plasters around the toe.

So says the eponymous founder himself, speaking to Style on the day of his autumn/winter 2024 show during New York Fashion Week in February. The 72-year-old designer reveals that he spent the months leading up to the founding of the brand in 1985 in Hong Kong, which back then was a global hub for garment manufacturing. Move over, Leo!

The Los Angeles-based label, founded in 2015 by young entrepreneur Emily Oberg, specialises in athleisure wear and preppy everyday basics with a retro twist. Also, who doesn’t love the name “Sporty & Rich?” Many of the label’s stylish separates – for instance, its oversized sweatshirts and printed T-shirts – are plastered with varsity-inspired logos and (sensible)... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/fashion-news/article/3250144/what-sporty-rich-athleisure-brand-gen-z-loves-how-emily-oberg-turned-instagram-mood-board-la-based?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/fashion-news/article/3250144/what-sporty-rich-athleisure-brand-gen-z-loves-how-emily-oberg-turned-instagram-mood-board-la-based?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 29 Jan 2024 11:00:20 +0000 Hong Kong may be located in the subtropics, but the city has a definite winter, with the mercury normally dropping below 10 degrees Celsius at some point in January – as it has this year. It makes sense then that the best time to acquire a new statement piece of outerwear is in the run-up to the often chilly Lunar New Year. There are also traditions to consider, with wearing new clothing on the first day of the Lunar New Year a symbol of prosperity and good fortune.

Except for a few household names like Ralph Lauren – and designers such as Tory Burch and Thom Browne – very few US labels have managed to build strong businesses outside their home country.

Helmed by Georgian designer Demna Gvasalia, the Paris-based brand – owned by the Kering Group, the company behind labels including Gucci, Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta – has managed to weather the coronavirus pandemic and come through it relatively unscathed.

As the protests in Hong Kong have escalated, China has decided to ban exports of black clothing to the city. Many protesters have adopted black T-shirts, jeans, and sneakers as their uniform.
