That is not so for Cecilia Basari, whose intense focus on technique has shaped a recognisable trademark – a rarity for a brand that is only four years old. In the last spring/summer 2024 womenswear season in September, her brand Isa Boulder reached a new milestone by staging its first runway show in Paris. Presented in a maison particulier in the Marais district, the collection entitled Hardcore... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3246256/kylie-jenner-fan-rise-fashion-label-isa-boulder-beloved-gen-z-tiktok-and-influencers-alike?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3246256/kylie-jenner-fan-rise-fashion-label-isa-boulder-beloved-gen-z-tiktok-and-influencers-alike?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 28 Dec 2023 04:45:08 +0000 His seductive and subversive images made German-Australian photographer Helmut Newton one of the most celebrated image-makers of the 20th century. Now, a large-scale exhibition, “Helmut Newton - Fact & Fiction”, opening on November 18 at the Marta Ortega Pérez Foundation in A Coruña, Spain, will show some of his most famous images, alongside others that provide a well-rounded sense of the photographer’s range, including Polaroids he took on set during photoshoots, and atmospheric shots of places... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3239776/seductive-subversive-photos-helmut-newton-celebrated-20th-century-photographer-go-show-large-scale?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3239776/seductive-subversive-photos-helmut-newton-celebrated-20th-century-photographer-go-show-large-scale?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 02 Nov 2023 08:15:12 +0000 Think of Australian fashion and resort wear typically comes to mind, thanks in part to the global success of luxury label Zimmermann – the country’s first billion-dollar apparel brand. Dig a little deeper, however, and it is likely that the understated, neutral looks you have been coveting all summer, seen on Instagram on influencers such as Kendall Jenner and Emily Ratajkowski, also hail from down under. A new generation of Australian designers, drawing on a culture of relaxation and ease, is... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3233460/australian-fashion-going-beyond-beachwear-new-generation-designers-makes-instagram-worthy-outfits?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3233460/australian-fashion-going-beyond-beachwear-new-generation-designers-makes-instagram-worthy-outfits?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 06 Sep 2023 20:15:13 +0000 A decade or so ago, New York Fashion Week was dominated by names such as Phillip Lim, Joseph Altuzarra, Jason Wu, Prabal Gurung, Derek Lam and Alexander Wang – a vanguard of Asian-American designers who redefined what running a Western fashion brand could look like. Yet by and large, whether they veered towards uptown sophistication or exuded downtown cool, the designers’ Asian heritage remained absent from their visual language and branding. Fast-forward to 2023 and we’re witnessing a shifting... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3224741/how-new-generation-asian-fashion-designers-looking-closer-their-heritage-people-alexander-wang-and?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3224741/how-new-generation-asian-fashion-designers-looking-closer-their-heritage-people-alexander-wang-and?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 21 Jun 2023 11:15:09 +0000 “It’s good to be back in Hong Kong. It’s always felt like a second home and a haven – I have a routine here, I have the spots I hang out where I see my friends and I love the food,” says Brian Woo, a Los Angeles-based tattoo artist also known as Dr Woo.

Eschewing the rarefied atmosphere of flawless beauty that couture has traditionally sought to produce, the designer... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3211790/blackpinks-lisa-wears-his-looks-chanels-president-fashion-mentored-him-how-designer-robert-wun?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3211790/blackpinks-lisa-wears-his-looks-chanels-president-fashion-mentored-him-how-designer-robert-wun?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 01 Mar 2023 23:15:08 +0000
