Departing from the vacation mood and retro nods of its Spring collection, Fendi‘s recent Fall/Winter 2020 show at Milan Fashion Week presented a polished and dangerously seductive range that celebrates the multifaceted modern woman. Inspired by the subversive idea of “soft power,” the collection seeks to take the boudoir into the boardroom, with items of clothing typically associated with sensual pleasure seamlessly woven into the work wardrobe of women in authority. Dusty pink satin, often used in lingerie, was found on a Juliet-sleeved dress and a quilted bustier that meshes with a lace pencil skirt adorned with rows of beaded fringes. Garters became a part of the footwear, as they embraced the ankles and legs like buckled straps, while the criss-cross pattern of fishnet stockings formed the boot...

Donatella Versace fueled already-high anticipation of her Fall/Winter 2020 collection with an Instagram post revealing that Anna Wintour — clad in her signature sunglasses — stopped by the atelier for a sneak peek at the range. Versace’s new offerings were unveiled to the public (or at least lucky invitees) at Milan Fashion Week earlier today, following shows by Marni and Fendi.   Up until now, Versace has unwaveringly riffed on that jungle-print dress worn by Jennifer Lopez to the 2000 Grammys (further rehashing isn’t necessary). Judging from the brand’s decision to release a jungle-print watch, as well as cast JLo as the face of its Spring/Summer 2020 campaign, few would be surprised to see further iterations of the — granted — iconic dress on the FW20 runway. However, Versace presented a pleasant departure from its recent releases with a new collection largely rendered in...

The show took place at Kensington Olympia’s National Hall on a mirrored runway, supported by the likes of renowned pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque, as well as the producer Arca who performed a live soundscape curated for the show. Together, the scene was atmospheric and referenced the new direction Burberry is heading in.   Tisci’s collection itself was inspired by the memories he’s accumulated from his travels between London and India, as well as everyone he has met on the way. Speaking on the collection, the chief creative officer said, “I have this strong feeling of pride when I think about the early days of my career, when I was an emerging designer still learning my craft and taking inspiration wherever I could find it.” He...

Making its debut on the runway during its Spring/Summer 2020 show, Fendi introduced the smallest pouch it has ever made as part of its Baguette family. Dubbed the Pico bag, the accessory arrives in two silhouettes and six spring-ready colors. The pieces feature luxe embroideries made out of micro and macro beads, some with the addition of fringe details. Measuring at four centimeters in height and width, the new Baguette addition comes with a long multifunctional chain that can be worn as a crossbody bag, a necklace and bracelet, or attach it to your regular bag as a charm. Rounding out its design is the label’s iconic Baguette buckle that appears in the front as the closure of the bag.   Take a detailed look at all the...

Continuing its Japan focus ahead of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Nike has also revealed a running focused range centered around the city. Dubbed the “Tokyo Running Pack,” the series of running essentials are marked by illustrations from Tokyo-based artist Keeenue. The artist’s elongated figures are used to create a distinct bright and bold multicolor pattern. The arrangement of swirled limbs and stylized Kanji typography are used to decorate the assemblage of men’s and women’s apparel.   Rounding up the Tokyo Running Pack is a similarly decorated take on the Air Zoom Pegasus 36. The strategically perforated mesh upper of the shoe sports the same Keeenue pattern marked with large black contrast Swooshes at the midfoot. Other branding elements appear in the form of a Kanji typography...

In addition to its Valentine’s Day-themed Stan Smith and Continental 80 sneakers, adidas Originals has released six more pairs ahead of the holiday. Arriving in the classic Superstar, as well as the SAMBAROSE and Stan Smith silhouettes, the new iterations come with heart-filled prints and subtle motifs inspired by Saint Valentine.   The Superstars come in both black and white colorways embossed with red and pink hearts mixed with the brand’s logo. The third pair’s Three Stripes has been replaced with a mini-version of the silhouette, while the soles read “LOVE SUPERSTAR” when joined together. Black studs appear on the fourth Superstar shoe against a clean white canvas. As for the SAMBAROSE, the pair’s rubber sole comes in a bubblegum pink hue featuring a tiny red heart next to the Three Stripes. Finally, the...
