#2018 latest fashion shows

[thewriteadviceforwriters]

Hi, I just wanted to ask an advice for a story I want to write. It's something that has always confused me since I firsr heard it (in my life) in 2010 when watching “Gossip Girl” but kept hearing more and more in 2018/19 (the most) until now so... What is an “It girl”? And how do I write an “It girl” character without making her a Mary Sue (I guess)?

How to Write an 'It' Girl Trendsetter in a Fiction Novel

From your question you've probably read a novel or watched a TV show and fallen in love with a character who effortlessly exudes style, charm, and influence. That character is often referred to as the 'It' girl, a trendsetter who captivates readers with her magnetic personality and impeccable taste. As a writer, you may wonder how to create such a character who becomes an icon in the world you've crafted. In this blog post, I'll help you explore the art of writing an 'It' girl trendsetter and discover the key elements that make her captivating and relatable.

Creating an 'It' girl isn't just about describing her physical appearance or listing her accomplishments. It's about developing a character who embodies a unique blend of charisma, confidence, and authenticity. Our journey begins with understanding the core traits that define an 'It' girl and then delving into the steps to create a multi-dimensional and memorable trendsetter in your fiction novel.

The Essence of an 'It' Girl

Before we dive into the specifics of writing an 'It' girl, let's first explore the essence of what makes her so captivating. An 'It' girl is someone who effortlessly stands out from the crowd, drawing attention wherever she goes. She possesses an undeniable charm, a magnetic personality that makes people gravitate towards her. However, it's important to note that an 'It' girl isn't just about looks or popularity; she also possesses a strong sense of self and authenticity.

One crucial element that differentiates an 'It' girl from other characters is her ability to set trends. Whether it's fashion, lifestyle choices, or even social movements, the 'It' girl is at the forefront of what's hot and happening. She has an intuitive understanding of the latest trends but also has the confidence to break away from the crowd and make her own unique mark. This combination of trendsetting and individuality is what sets an 'It' girl apart and makes her a captivating character for readers.

To truly bring your 'It' girl to life, it's essential to infuse her with a sense of relatability. While she may possess an aura of mystique and glamour, readers should still be able to connect with her on a personal level. This means giving her flaws, vulnerabilities, and inner conflicts. By adding depth to her character, you create an 'It' girl who is not only fascinating but also someone readers can empathize with.

Crafting an 'It' Girl Trendsetter

Now that we understand the essence of an 'It' girl, let's delve into the process of crafting one for your fiction novel. The following steps will guide you through creating a multi-dimensional character who embodies the spirit of an 'It' girl.

1. Define her unique style: The 'It' girl is known for her impeccable taste and unique sense of style. Dig deep into her personality to understand what makes her fashion choices stand out. Is she bold and daring? Does she have a penchant for vintage pieces? By defining her style, you create a visual identity that readers can connect with.

2. Develop her passions and interests: An 'It' girl is more than just a pretty face. She has a plethora of interests and passions that contribute to her trendsetting nature. Whether it's art, music, or even niche hobbies, these interests add depth to her character and help shape her influence.

3. Give her a strong voice: An 'It' girl must have a strong voice, both figuratively and literally. She is unafraid to speak her mind and has a way with words that captivates those around her. Develop her unique speaking style and let her words carry weight and impact.

Bringing Your 'It' Girl to Life

Now that you have laid the foundation for your 'It' girl, it's time to bring her to life within the context of your novel. Here are some tips to ensure she shines brightly in your story:

1. Show, don't tell: Instead of directly telling the reader that your character is an 'It' girl, show her in action. Let her effortlessly charm people, make bold fashion statements, and lead the way in trendsetting. Through vivid descriptions and engaging scenes, allow readers to witness her 'It' factor firsthand.

2. Surround her with a strong supporting cast: The 'It' girl cannot exist in a vacuum. Create a supporting cast of characters who are drawn to her charisma and who help amplify her influence. These characters can be friends, admirers, or even rivals, each adding their own dynamics to the 'It' girl's world.

3. Explore her vulnerabilities: While an 'It' girl exudes confidence, she also has vulnerabilities and insecurities. Explore these aspects of her character to make her relatable and human. Let readers see her struggle, doubt herself, and overcome obstacles. This journey of growth adds depth to her character and makes her more than just a one-dimensional 'It' girl.

Conclusion

Creating an 'It' girl trendsetter in your fiction novel requires a delicate balance of charisma, authenticity, and relatability. By understanding the essence of what makes an 'It' girl captivating and following the steps to craft her character, you can create a memorable and influential trendsetter who leaves a lasting impression on your readers. So, go ahead and unleash your creativity to bring your 'It' girl to life, and watch as she takes the literary world by storm!

art development !!

i started doing digital art in 2013 but the template starts at 2015 hehe

[[ template ]]

my essaying about my digital art journey below!!

2015 - i was very immersed in the soul eater community! i kept doing resbangs and making friends, and i love doing AUs, specifically soul & maka centric. this is the HTTYD AU where soul is the dragon!

2016 - yes this is Little Things PH's OCs that i did back in the day! i love their lil guys so much i had to make fanart. this was the art i gave to Ate in person!!

2017 - i drew a lot more pokemon this time ! idk why i didn't draw more of it digitally before. i had too much soul eater brainrot lmao. so i combined them! behold contestshipping x soma AU

2018 - this was the time when i got into K-pop! specifically Monsta X haha, i got more interested in doing fashion, especially for male characters~ (and i had to draw my beloved agenda, somakid)

2019 - my bias from MX, Minhyuk on a whale with Minggom! this was made for an artbook that was sent to him! i hope he got to see this along with my tiny message ;; i delved more into a new tiny chibi art style here

2020 - i drew way too much during this year and it led me to impossibly high standards for my art to this day //sobs. i redrew my Your Lie in April AU fanart and i really think i improved so much….. i went out of my comfort zone to really draw the background and the piano

2021 - genshin brainrot started here !! i was trying to find my style even more, and i love kokomi's color palette. i remember looking at 10x references and combining them into this specific pose in the fanart. i still think to this day this is one of my personal favorite art pieces of all time

2022 - another personal favorite art piece (and something my friend aura and a commissioner personally loved!), i was practicing on drawing men since i wasn't confident, but seeing how this turned out made me want to keep going ❤️

2023 - the latest maka & kid piece that i made! they are so precious to me. i love trying out new poses and dynamics, and i tried changing their outfits a bit more to highlight that i wanna try new fashion stuff ^^; i'd like to say it was a job well done ngl

2024 - and finally, a recent piece that i'm most proud of, and shows a lot of my art style (and i drew the background from scratch!). i redrew an old comic panel from a now discontinued comic, but i feel like i improved so much in terms of rendering, coloring, and anatomy!!

Dear God, the Parthenon is still broken is a photographic vignette by Yorgos Lanthimos. Although created on the set of the film Poor Things in Budapest, the book inhabits a separate world, untethered from time and place.

The photographs drift between black and white and colour, giving the impression of a waking dream between past and present, whilst multiple layers between reality and fiction are gradually revealed. The film was set in various late 19th century locations including London, Lisbon, Marseille, and a cruise ship—all recreated in Budapest. These constructed cities and interiors provide the backdrop for the photographs. The characters populate these imagined cities whilst the precarious screens, scaffolding, rigs, lighting and crew are divulged on the periphery of the images. Lanthimos has intentionally widened the frame to show the workings of the construct, fabricating a new story within the story. To mirror this, the publication is designed with foldouts to reveal these constructs within the cast of characters—the reader opens a book within a book.

In reaction to the fast-moving creation of the film, Lanthimos embraced the opportunity to use a large-format camera to make these images, focusing on stillness, tonality and light. Deciding on a composition and not changing this until the exposure was complete, each picture provided him with a meditative time of focus. The creative process of making the images extended to collaboration with the actress Emma Stone who played the role of Bella Baxter in the film, for which she was awarded an Oscar. Through working together on previous projects, Lanthimos and Stone have developed a unique creative partnership. After a busy day of filming, they would develop the colour 6x7 negatives and the b&w 4x5 sheet film together in a makeshift darkroom in a bathroom. This alchemic act offered them both a creative outlet beyond the realm and constraints of the film.

The title of the book ‘Dear God, the Parthenon is still broken’ comes from a postcard that the character of Bella Baxter was to send to her father, God, from Athens. The scene was cut from the final version of the film.

The book opens with a previously unpublished poem by Patti Smith, inspired by the film.

Yorgos Lanthimos, was born in Athens, Greece. A versatile creative, in addition to directing dance and music videos, TV commercials, short films, and theatre plays, he has also photographed editorials and fashion campaigns. His breakthrough came with the film ‘Dogtooth’ (2009), earning an Un Certain Regard Prize at Cannes and an Oscar nomination. ‘The Lobster’ (2015) won a Jury Prize at Cannes and the European Film Awards. This was followed by ‘The Favourite’ (2018) which earned Olivia Colman an Oscar. His latest film, ‘Poor Things’, won Venice's Golden Lion and four Oscars. ‘Dear God, the Parthenon is still broken’ (Void) is Lanthimos' first photography monograph.

Concerning what Bill wore to the Balenciaga show, that would've been head-to-toe Balenciaga. When celebrities and other notable people attend fashion shows, they're typically styled in pieces from the designer and the new collection that's being presented at the show. So, for example, everyone at the H&M showcases that Bill and Alida would've attended recently would've been decked out in H&M's latest collection. Think of the people who attend fashion shows as being kinda like additional models who don't walk the runway.

Yeah I was able to find the shoes he wore so I’m sure the rest was also Balenciaga. Back in 2018 he went to NYFW for Calvin Klein and he was decked out in the brand. I actually like the jacket he was wearing but I’m sure it cost at least 1K 😅

Recently, whispers of Hailey Bieber pregnant have taken the internet by storm. But what's the real story behind these rumors? Is there a baby Bieber on the way? Let's dive into the juicy details, uncover the truth, and explore how this potential news could rock the entertainment world.

The Power Couple: Justin and Hailey Bieber

Before we delve into the pregnancy rumors, let's take a moment to appreciate the power couple at the center of it all. Justin Bieber, the pop sensation who stole hearts with hits like "Baby" and "Sorry," has been in the public eye for over a decade. His journey from teen idol to a mature artist has been nothing short of spectacular. On the other hand, Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin) has carved out her own space in the fashion world.

Chanel serves immense hat energy at Paris Fashion Week as Gigi Hadid owns the runway

The Chanel show opened with a short film starring Penelope Cruz and Brad Pitt. Chanel's collection was a hit at the Paris Fashion Week show, revealing that big hats are trending. Models walked the runway for the autumn/winter 2024 collection wearing oversized floppy sun hats in black hues and pastel colors, adorned with silver hat pins. In addition to the fascinating headpiece mentioned earlier, models flaunted tartan flat caps on the runway. Additionally, flat caps are traditionally linked with British and Irish fashion. Therefore, it's exciting that the French fashion house has recently introduced them into its collections. Supermodel Gigi Hadid – a regular face on the Chanel runway – was one of the few models not wearing a hat. She wore an all-black outfit: a turtleneck and semi-sheer long skirt with a skinny belt and plenty of gold jewelry. Her ponytail featured a black bow and a white camellia, classic symbols of Chanel. The creative director, Virginie Viard, experimented with hats on the runway. The rest of the collection was business as usual. Many Chanel signatures were present, including boucle suits, cardigans with statement buttons, and quilted bags in all the rainbow colors. Layers of statement gold jewelry have long been a hallmark of the label Furthermore, it's worth noting that when Christy Turlington walked the runway for the spring/summer 1992 couture collection, wearing a black gown and plenty of gold chains, it was a memorable moment in fashion, much like Hadid's look, albeit more formal. Additionally, it's worth noting that while many of the ensembles resembled something straight out of a Chanel runway in the 1990s, some more contemporary touches caught the eye. For example, a blue cropped puffer jacket adorned with a camellia brooch, elements of denim, and a calf-length brown coat with a shearling lining and a matching hold-all were also present. Models walked on a wooden runway inspired by Deauville's boardwalk. Deauville was Viard's essential inspiration for the season. Furthermore, it's worth mentioning that she has had a long relationship with the Chanel brand since house founder Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel opened her first fashion boutique there in 1913. Furthermore, it is worth noting that seaside references inspired by the town have appeared repeatedly in the fashion industry. A notable example is Karl Lagerfeld's autumn/winter 1998 collection, where the designer drew inspiration from the city to create a stunning collection. Chanel partnered with the Deauville American Film Festival in 2019. The latest Paris Fashion Week collection showcased the bond with the film. The show opened with a short black-and-white film starring Penelope Cruz and Brad Pitt. They drive in a car, order at a restaurant, and walk by the seaside with a Chanel bag. Fashion blogger @stylenotcom noted on Instagram that the short film was inspired by a scene in the 1966 French movie A Man And A Woman (Un Homme Et Une Femme). Furthermore, it's worth noting that Cruz has been associated with Chanel since 2018 as their brand ambassador since 2018. She visited Paris and attended the Fashion Week show. She showcased her impeccable style and saw the latest Chanel collection. Notably, she wore a stunning haute couture gown to the 2023 Met Gala, which left everyone in awe. She rocked a black leather-look skirt suit with a pale yellow jumper. A white statement collar added sophistication. Her fashion prowess and love for Chanel were evident. She wasn't the only star on the front row. At the show, Zoey Deutch wore a grey mini dress with a pink brooch and a new blonde hairdo. Margaret Qualley, a Chanel model, wore a yellow coat and dress set with black socks. Zazie Beetz donned a red strapless dress with an oversized black cardigan. By Prudence Wade Read the full article

Dev patels characters reacting to their s/o surprising them by wearing lingere?

A/N: This one has been living in my notebook for like two weeks now. Hope you enjoy <3 as always, consulting credit to @hecuba-of-troy

Anwar Kharral (Skins 2009) I feel like Anwar is the biggest geek. Even with all the money and clout that comes with being an indie darling, on some level, he can't quite believe that he's with you, he still sees himself as the geeky boy who ran off to London. He pulled you, he can't believe it. Anyways, Anwar reacts like Wiley Coyote. It's almost cartoon-ish the way his eyes bulge out of his head. He takes a minute to actually put his hands on you, but he makes it worth the wait.

Sonny Kapoor (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, 2011) Straight up I don't think Sonny would believe it. You're pretty chill as a person, always following your gut, and standing your ground when you need to, but Sonny, being Sonny, definitely jumps to the conclusion of you being the wildest western sex goddess dream, like a centerfold or one of the ladies from the internet videos . He proceeds to give you the head of a lifetime, good for you.

Neal Sampat (Newsroom, 2011-2014) To Neal, you are the definition of "baddie on a budget". If you work with him, the two of you have the same job and he's likely getting the same amount of pay as you, and he doesn't get paid what for the worth of the work he does, same for you. This is why he's absolutely floored when you come out in one of the nicest sets. Is it out of your budget? Yeah. Do you take advantage of his shock and ride tf out of him? Also yeah.

Deon Wilson (Chappie, 2015) Deon, due to lack of experence, would have a good moment where he's caught like a deer in headlights (ha ha), we think he'd probably admire for a while, want a 360 view with the softest look on his face. It would really be soft, and you'd get tiny kisses on your neck most likely.

Sheru “Saroo” Bierley (LION, 2016) Saroo is a little bit tough. I feel like, initially, he'd could be kinda mean, just ordering you to lay down and teasing tf out of you for being a 'slut', which you are, but for him, specifically. But on the other hand, I could also see Saroo just being so 😁 thrilled to be with you, especially when you look like an angel with no wings, "So like a person" is what you respond, and I feel like you gotta get smacked in the pussy a few times for that.

Jay Menha (The Wedding Guest, 2018) Sanjay immediately dives in. I feel like this is one of the few times where he'd ask if you like what your wearing before he dives in and starts to fuck you. Being of an artistic mindset, there is a good chance he'd want to take pictures or draw you looking so pretty, but he's a kind person. He won't make you wait for dick. David Copperfield I feel like you bust out the costumes/lingerie when David's been a little too lost in his work. Essentially, what happens is he's troubleshooting his latest plot to you while you're getting dressed, his nose practically buried in pieces of paper. He's lost in his own little world, so you pull him by the hair to bring him back to you. Once he sees what your wearing he gets hard because (1) it's you and (2) he was able to pay for the outfit with his books!!!! The fuck!! David, being David, proceeds to chatter on about the heroine and what she should do to one of her love interests, and it's a lot better than what he had going before you pulled him back to you. You have to sit on his face to get him to shut the fuck up, but that's hardly an inconvenience.

Joshua Madika Joshua would be a bit of a goof. I fully see you taking his credit card out on a spree, and he comes home to a mini fashion show where he gets hard at the idea of spending money on you. This man was built to be a sugar daddy, but if you tell him he can look, but can't touch, he'll respect that.

Sir Gawain I don't think they had lingerie in the middle ages, but I'm picturing something that likely has chains on it, and wouldn't be the most comfortable. There's a high chance that this would also link somewhat to medieval BDSM, and you are going to be teased within an inch of your life. Also, I feel like when your dressed up, your inside. IDK if I say this enough, but fucking Gawain outside 😛

“[She] wanted to see what photos former employees saw so she has more details.”

In case you missed it, a report came out on Tuesday from Rolling Stone in which Yeezyemployees working on the Adidas partnership wrote an open letter to the company accusing Ye of adult-themed images of Kim and other pornographic materials during meetings as an “intimidation tactic.” One person claimed during a job interview in 2018, the fashion designer allegedly showed “a very revealing and personal” picture of The Kardashians star from his phone. In that same year, another former staff member claimed he presented an explicit video of Kim to Yeezy’s creative team. Ugh. What a complete violation of her privacy! A third employee then accused Kanye of consistently showing graphic content to the staff, saying:

“[Ye was] not afraid to show explicit images or talk about situations that should be kept private.”

Another ex-collaborator claimed:

“He showed me the video of Francesca Le, a buff porn star with a strap-on dildo f**king another girl in the a**. He’s like, ‘what do you think of it?’ Not laughing at all.”

Two others then alleged Kanye showed them “homemade sex tapes” of the Jesus Walks artist “engaging in sexual activities with women,” while someone also said he “specifically” targeted female employees. Terrible. Staff members further accused executives at Adidas of knowing about Kanye’s behavior – and doing nothing about it, saying in the letter:

“The most troubling behavior that should have been flagged by the executive team very early in the partnership is his manipulative and fear-based approach to leading the team, all while trying to assert dominance over Adidas employees in closed rooms.”

Since the report, Adidas, who already ended its working relationship with Ye after a series of antisemitic comments and problematic behaviors, has launched an investigation into the allegations. According to the Financial Times, Union Investment – a German firm that owns a stake in Adidas – demanded answers from the company about allegations after the Rolling Stone report came out, and that is when the probe began. Janne Werning, an executive at Union Investment, told the publication:

“Adidas needs to disclose when the management and the supervisory board was first informed about the internal allegations.”

A spokesperson for Adidas then said in a statement to Rolling Stone on Thursday:

“It is currently not clear whether the accusations made in an anonymous letter are true. However, we take these allegations very seriously and have taken the decision to launch an independent investigation of the matter immediately to address the allegations.”

We’ll have to see what happens next with this probe. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Sound OFF in the comments below.

358: Anna Murphy Talks About Finding Your Way to the Best You Yet as Each Year Passes in her New Book, Destination Fabulous

The book I wanted and needed to read.

Repeatedly, indirectly and directly women and the entire society at large are told that aging is bad, and it is especially an unwelcoming reality for women, but is this true? Fashion Director for The Times London since 2015 Anna Murphy recently turned 50, and in her new book (being released on May 30th in the states; in the UK it was released in March) Destination Fabulous: Finding your way to the best you yet, disagrees wholeheartedly with this false truth that women have begrudgingly or willingly accepted and explains exactly how each year, each decade can usher in more fulfillment, more life satisfaction and thus more contentment.

She joined me from London last week before heading down to Mexico to take in Dior's Cruise presentation, and we had a lovely conversation about everything from the benefits of doing the hard work of getting to know yourself, how your style can bust clichés, the benefits of being age agnostic, how living our best life does physically affect our skin and visage, as well as the false promises made my anti-aging procedures, plus so much more.

We begin our conversation with why she is the happiest she has ever been, and with that, I will encourage you to tune in to our conversation. I do hope you enjoy.

Excerpts from my report on Mugler exploring the brand's marketing.

Muses

Who is the Mugler woman?

Mugler’s history is full of muses and celebrities, “it” girls who have donned Mugler’s work. From Diana Ross and Demi Moore in Indecent Proposal, to the supermodels like Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Cindy Crawford. 

“I want to dress the people who inspire me, and for them to be equally inspired by the brand.”   - Casey Cadweller

Walking down the runway swinging their hips and posing dramatically, these women exude attitude and confidence. They never look less than perfect, not a hair out of place, with makeup always done. They are always the center of attention, and they always get what they want.

Casey Cadweller has continued the tradition with the castings in his fashion shows and campaigns, people like Bella Hadid, Dominique Jackson, Lourdes Leon, Arca, and Megan Thee Stallion. Another interesting thing is that Casey often brings back models from different campaigns, which creates almost a mythology of muses.

This strategically builds upon celebrity culture, as well as diva culture, to craft an image of the Mugler customer, and having a consistent cast of collaborators also strengthens brand identity.

To wear Mugler is not just to wear clothes, it’s an entire attitude and lifestyle. It’s to be the Mugler woman (or man, or non-binaries, because that’s what Mugler is about too).

Inclusivity 

Even when Thierry Mugler was the creative director in the 80s, when fashion was exclusively cisgender white models, he championed diversity, with models of different ages and races, as well as drag queens, pornstars, and transgender women. His designs themselves are also largely inspired by gay culture.

“I want Mugler to be for many different types of women, of all ages, sizes, colours, and for any moment of the day.” - Casey Cadwaller

Today, Casey Cadwaller continues the brand’s history of inclusivity with his castings in his campaigns. Although the industry has become more diverse with more models of different races, it still remains very exclusionary.

Casey does not just cast a token plus-size model and a few people of colour, he takes it a step further, working with models of all sizes, ages, and gender. People like Hunter Schafer, trans actress, Shalom Harlow who is almost 50, basketball player Liz Cambage who is over 2 meters tall, Megan Thee Stallion, who is much curvier than most runway models, and Paralympic Medalist Madison de Rozario. This shows Mugler’s commitment to promoting diversity of all kinds.

However, the range of sizing on their actual garments is very small, only ranging from 34-44 French, so no one over a size large can fit in their clothes. The small size range might be due to the larger costs of a more inclusive one (Mcall, 2018) but when a large part of the brand identity is centered around creating clothes for every person they should try. This shows a lack of sincerity and a disconnect between what the brand presents and what they actually sell. This makes their brand appear inauthentic and undermines their supposed values.

Viral Fashion Shows

Although fashion shows are a physical touchpoint, Mugler’s shows are held in a way that’s specifically designed for them to go viral, and they do.

Their latest fashion show had big, heavy equipment and dolly cameras specifically there just to film the models, moving with them, capturing them at every angle imaginable. These clips are all edited together with trap music, sped up and slowed, zooming in and out. These clips are sliced together with fast transitions, providing different and new shots every second, which helps keep the viewer’s interest even with the ever-shortening attention spans (2019) which is essential in today’s attention economy of algorithms that value viewer retention (Kastrenakes, 2021).

Beyond the technical reasons, their shows are also very theatrical, sometimes even more akin to a performance than a runway, which translates very well to short-form video, the new big thing in social media (Kastenholz, 2022), making them especially prone to going viral. It is impossible to escape from clips of Arca snatching a bag from the front row and Dominique Jackson dancing downstairs on the for you page (Note: other brands like Coperni and (Di)vision have also done similar things, it’s becoming increasingly prevalent in fashion (Dazed, 2022)).

All this work has translated into many viral moments.

An example of this is in their Instagram reels of the shows, which do much better than both their feed posts and other non-fashion-show reels do, most achieving millions of views, with around 100-200k likes.

There’s also word-of-mouth and earned media contributing to increased exposure. There’s a lot of coverage from online commentators and reviewers, reuploads of clips from the fashion show (eg. i-D posted many) from other accounts, and even fan edits.

All this has paid off tremendously, and the numbers (SocialBlade, 2023) reflect this. They have reached a new peak in follower growth this past month, when many reels of their latest collections were posted, with 90k new followers. Other major peaks have been the second week of June 2022 and the first week of April 2021, which coincides with their fashion shows, held on June 8th and March 31st respectively.

Fashion shows have always been fashion houses’ biggest marketing event, but gone are the days of fashion shows being exclusive, held for journalists and buyers with a ticket, now anyone anywhere can tune in to watch them. 

It’s no longer enough to just have a fashion show, and Mugler understands that. They have planned the event to essentially be one giant photo op/hype machine.

Personal Tiktok

TikTok is the fastest-growing app (Koyak, 2021), and is especially popular with Gen Z, which makes up 60% of its users according to Forbes (Muliadi, 2022). Mugler is also a relatively early adopter of the platform, posting their first video in October 2020 and regularly posting since March 2021, considering how some big fashion houses like Chanel don’t have a page even to this day, and the ones that do not post consistently.

Other than the typical content also on their reels, most of their TikToks give a behind-the-scenes look to their photoshoots and fashion shows. 

The photoshoots themselves are very unique, with models falling back, voguing, or taking selfies on motorcycles, which will interest the viewers as they are intrigued.

The models are also scantily clad in skin-tight Mugler catsuits, or leotards with extreme cutouts, posing provocatively, kissing, and at the end of the day sex sells. Their most popular videos also feature famous celebrities and models like Rina Sawayama and Sora Choi.

Alex Consani brings viewers backstage while yelling slang like “cunt” and “slay”. They do plenty of transition videos, a staple of the platform, and participate in TikTok trends, like “Are you in Paris? Oui'' and the model walk trend, which is often seen in non-fashion brand pages but is less common in the luxury fashion brand space.

This is unlike other social media pages by luxury houses (even Mugler’s own Instagram page), which are far more serious, and feature extremely polished and professional videos. Their more organic approach appeals to the Gen Z audience, who values authenticity, (Schmidt, 2023). They’re speaking their language, listening to their music, and using their platform.

Their TikTok page does not feel like a brand pushing product, it feels personal and more organic. It has a voice of its own and speaks to the consumer as a friend.

Non-Fungible Tokens

Mugler has partnered with Marc Tudisco, a German 3D and digital artist, to create a set of digital collectibles called “We Are All Angel”. 

They have a profiler where people can answer questions about their personality to find their “Angel crew”. The animations are dynamic and 3D, however, this is more of a promotional tool as it does not have any effect on which collectible people receive. The collectibles were sold on OpenSea on 7th February 2023, and are assigned randomly. The collectible buyers received will be revealed on the 10th. They will also receive a metal print of the collectible.

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have a reputation for being cash grabs, but this foray into the metaverse is in line with their brand identity of always looking at the future, and they mention how Thierry Mugler himself has said that “the real world is not enough” to justify this project, writing “it's all about moving to the metaverse—a limitless virtual playground; a space to dream, escape, transform”. 

However, these words ring hollow in the face of the fact that the collectibles are just that- pieces to view, and they do not connect to any digital world. Their promise of empowering “all human beings to sculpt their own identity” is undermined by the random assignment of the collectibles. 

These concerns might leave a bad case in the consumer’s mouth, and turn people off from the brand. Perhaps due to people not liking NFTs, there has been little promotion on their social media beyond YouTube and Twitter (where NFTs are more acceptable), although it is all over their website where people cannot leave disapproving comments. The use of the phrase “digital collectible” instead of “NFT” also suggests a wish to distance the brand from its bad reputation.

In any case, the collaboration was successful, with all 300 collectibles selling out on the same day it was released. Sold at 0.2 ETH each, it has made close to 100k USD.

3 Denim Fashion Moments to Inspire Your Next Iconic Outfit

Every artist needs a muse, and every trendsetter needs style inspiration! Whether you realize it or not, chances are some of your favorite outfits and closet staples were inspired by iconic moments in fashion history, from your favorite distressed jeans to your go-to LBD.

Ready for some style inspiration? Check out these three iconic denim fashion moments from the past three decades.

Power Couple: The 2001 AMAs 

Jean is literally her middle name, so it should come as no surprise that Britney Spears is responsible for one of the most iconic denim fashion moments in pop culture history. While this pop star was known for wearing junior cargo pants and baby tees in the late ‘90s, one of her most iconic fashion moments was in the early 2000s. When Spears and her then-boyfriend Justin Timberlake arrived at a 2001 award show in head-to-toe denim, it was all the press, fans, and other stars were talking about.

Spear’s denim handbag and rhinestone choker were the perfect accessories for this over-the-top denim look, while JT’s denim cowboy hat and oversized shades perfectly matched her energy. While you and your partner might not replicate these eccentric early aughts outfits on the average date night, paying homage to this iconic moment is sure to make you and your babe stand out at your next costume party.

Double Take: Celebrity Street Style

When Jennifer Lopez stepped onto the streets of NYC wearing thigh-high denim boots in the summer of 2018, nearly everyone did a double take. These Versace heels were more than the average denim accessories—they were complete with tiny belts and pockets.

JLo kept the rest of her look simple by styling these boots with an oversized white button-up, elevated accessories, and a sleek updo. Fortunately, you don’t have to get your hands on vintage designer boots to replicate this iconic look. Styling thigh-high boots over slim-fitting curvy jeans with a white button-up can achieve a similarly sleek, city-girl outfit.

Footwear Frenzy: Kylie Jenner’s Roman Holiday

While kitten heels and mules were natural predecessors to the ballet-flat trend of last spring, many of us didn’t anticipate the resurgence of another shoe style: flip-flops. This sandal’s popularity skyrocketed after Kylie Jenner paired an iconic all-denim sundress with trendy, clear flip-flops during a summer vacation to Italy in 2024.

Not only did this iconic outfit prove that denim couture can be elegant and elevated, but it also brought everyone’s favorite flimsy footwear into the spotlight. Whether you incorporate denim into your next elevated vacation outfit or tip your toes into the flip-flop trend, this iconic fashion moment is worth paying homage to.

Brushing up on your fashion history can help you elevate your style, pay homage to your favorite pop stars, or simply learn more about the origins of the latest trends. From double denim looks to fancy flip-flops, these three denim fashion moments can help you create your next iconic outfit.
