Hi (nyfw thoughts)

Ok so first I just want to say that this fashion week was so boring and really sums up the kind of good idea drought we’re living in. BUT there was a fair share of discussion over some things so! instead of trying to fit my thoughts about everything on the app formerly known as twitter, I’m just gonna tell y’all here.

Shows talked about in this post; Proenza Schouler, Eckhaus Latta, AREA, Luar, Helmut Lang, Elena Velez and Tory Burch

Proenza Schouler

There’s no way Proenza was going to ruffle any feathers this season. They have a loyal following (which I’m sure has nothing to do with the celebrity affiliations of the brand) and a consistent history of people pleasing so they’ll always get their praise from Vogue. They dropped a new monogram which is the only “newness” they wanted to introduce. Jack McCollough said they wanted to continue last seasons narrative and they sure did! (Only thing different was no Sevigny). The clothes are obviously well made and evoke wealth in that special kind of iykyk way. Many people said this looked more like Helmut Lang than Helmut lang did (I’ll get to that later) and they’re not entirely wrong. Not gonna act like I wouldn’t wear this collection but definitely nothing groundbreaking.

Eckhaus Latta

Eckhaus latta is a brand that has always had a special place in my heart (maybe because I’m from the city that the two designers met and started the brand together in)(maybe). My style has definitely evolved since I first became aware of the brand but I’m always interested in what they’re doing. This season they got experimental! They worked with a 3D printing company named “Unspun” where they came up with jeans made from all different materials like hardware store twine and ikea plastic bags. The way they combined tech innovation and sustainability is not just commendable, it’s very forward thinking, which is a staple in the brands identity. With that being said some of the collection felt directionless in comparison to all of the innovation. The sheer (which dawned their new EL monogram) was very MNZ store to me but not in a bad way. I like that they’re not trying to be trendy and come up with new things however a-lot of brands were doing that so it makes me wonder if that’s a good thing or not.

AREA

I loved their modern Stone Age ladies. I think it was one of the only luxury focused shows where I was like wow! This is different. The fur printed coats were so gaudy and held its shape in the way good ol’ fur coats used to. I think this collection was really cohesive, adventurous, new. Everyone saw Saweetie wear it at the VMAs and even the unfashionable general public could see the yabba dabba reference. The prehistoric influence was chosen because as Piotrek Panscyzk said “pelts and bones were the first things humans had to build an identity around”. There’s definitely a case for a narrative about how much luxury (the hunger, the status) mirrors pre historic, pre civilized behaviors.

Luar

Raul Lopez is a diamond. This collection kind of came of as a continuation of last season as well but I like this brand so much that it feels good to me. I feel like Raul is constantly playing with this really restrictive, God-fearing way of being and an inhibition-less eternality. Padded shoulders, the top draped from the eyewear, perfect collared shirts, jeans and leather, it had all the perfect Luar moments for me. No notes.

Ok.. now on to the “controversial” shows

Helmut Lang

When Peter Do was announced as the new creative director of Helmut Lang, everyone rejoiced. Why? His strengths as a designer seemed like a natural fit for the brand. Expert tailoring, black and white as a main color palette, maybe a little overlap in philosophy.. but as the outfits came out people’s reactions… were… unfavorable to say the least. People saw the reference to key Lang moments like seat belt bondage, the use of Ocean Vuongs poetry (which I felt was terribly misunderstood), the classic button up and jeans as disappointing instead of nostalgic. For me, personally, I think everyone’s expectations were rooted in something that Peter Do could not have delivered. That expectation being Helmut Lang himself. People saw Do as the second-coming and that’s just the truth but where do we draw the line with our expectations on reliving the past and how do we honor the kind of openness necessary to evolution? I myself had to sit with the collection and came to the conclusion that maybe Peter is just defining a clear end to the Helmut era of yesterday and the start of his own journey now. After closely looking at the collection and it’s details you can see how wonderful the clothes really are. It is everyone’s responsibility to question and examine the things they “care” about and I think this fashion public is not patient enough for that. It wasn’t the greatest debut but it also wasn’t the worst. Anyway we’ll see what comes next.

Elena Velez

Mud gate ss24! Since her NYT article last year, people have been really fed up with Elena (I learned only after the mud fight started to circulate) and she doesn’t really seem to mind, she seems to like it actually. She argues online, she argues IN lines, she doesn’t pay people adequately and the list apparently goes on and on. This collection is called “the longhouse” and in her press release she says a lot of things about the commercialization, sanitization, condemning and control of womanhood, she talks about anti-heroines and contemporary female evil (which she loves to embody I guess) and she says that this show was ritualistic catharsis from oversocialization. I think it’s pretentious when someone has to use so many complex, institutionalized words to convey their message. She’s speaking in code. To be honest I like her clothes but I don’t think her designs are that original. I really want to raise the question who does her message benefit? We should all be allowed our multiplicity in this life, that’s true, but being a bad person in practice is something I’m personally not attracted to. I’m a little confused but it is what it is.

SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO TORY BURCH!!!!

Who I think should be receiving a cease and desist from Miuccia Prada any moment now. This collection is such a departure from the Tory Burch we all grew up with. This must be that post divorce clarity. I like it! It’s 60s. It’s Prada. It’s miu miu. It’s Tory Burch now too!

If you made it this far I really appreciate you ♡ this was just for ki’s sake. It’s not my most critical thinking to date but there was discussion and I loved that. I wanted to contribute and this was the best way I could think of. Lmk if I should do this again with lfw!!

What’s the vibe? #35

News:

Sarah Burton is leaving Alexander McQueen at the end of this month. End of an era!!

New York Fashion Week just passed, sorry will be running through the good looks another time - terms to think about. Flaneur-core with a side of intellectualism (Helmut Lang, Proenza Scholar), princess at work/Practical princess (Sandy Liang, Mirror Palais), "In-Dario-Argento-World" - slick, but saturated colours (Coach). Earth Child rave (Collina Strada, Eckhaus Latta).

Design Director at Prada and Miu Miu Fabio Zambernardi, has decided to leave the Prada Group after approx 40 years (since 1981) at the company. What could the future of both of those brands hold? What would it look like if Miuccia retired?

Ezra Collective won the Mercury Prize 2023.

Coco Gauff won the US Open 2023!! Woop! Love the New Balance 2 piece also - she won in the red version.

There's been a lot of climate related events in the world - Morocco earthquake, Greece/China flooding, heatwaves in the Western Hemisphere in September - I really can't imagine that people will continue to ignore it when it happens every summer now. I do think we need to adapt quickly - in natural ways (modifying houses and buildings for air, doing less, finding ways to cool our bodies etc) and younger people will be speaking up about it (even during the US Open women single semi final!) or finding orgs that align with sustainable lifestyles. This might be jarring for a while but honestly....we need to get everyone on board and find ways to make sustainability sexy and engage with the masses.

Also related: If people are avoiding outdoors, what healthy activities can they do indoors? (That isn't doom scrolling.)

For NYFW, Chanel created "Lucky Chance Diner", a food popup to celebrate the launch of CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE, their new Eau de Parfum. This diner also serves ice cream and lasts from the 8-10th September.

Interesting product of the week:

Made me think about how many people may just travel to meet their friends, or travel with friends and this becomes a convenient travel companion. This is also related to the flux and movement of people within the city. It's a screen that's easy to pack away in case of (unstable) housing which many young people in the UK live in due to lack of rent controls. Bit of a conceptual reach but definitely designed for easy packing.

This website shows photographs from Susan Fangs ss24 runway show. I really liked looking at her collection because in my opinion it is very beautiful and dainty. I also love the colour palette she used. Although I used Susan Fangs work as an example for ruffles some of the garments from this collection are also examples of the trend sheer fabric.

Recapping Fashion's Biggest Events of the Year: Fashion Week and Their Involvement in Sustainability

Fashion Week...the Superbowl of fashion. Taking place only twice a year, fashion week can make or break a brand's reputation almost instantly. Designers work day after day to perfect their collections, from selecting textiles and materials, designing, pattern-making, and all the way down to constructing. Most of us don't get to see this process where we are only shown the final product. Therefore, we aren't exposed to the specific materials that the brands use in their collections and what working standards the garment workers work in to produce the final product seen on the glamorous runways.

While we idolize and put our beloved fashion brands on a pedestal, counting down the hours to watch the show stream (or for some lucky few who get to watch the show in live action...jealous!), how aware are we of the brand's involvement in sustainability? Do their latest collections practice sustainability as the fight for climate change has deeply infiltrated the industry? Stay tuned Arguablysustainable readers as we take you through a recap of Fashion Week and which brands focused their collections on sustainability.

1. Stella McCartney

The London based designer overtime has proven to be one of leading designer brands that focuses on sustainability and climate change through her innovative and eco-conscious collections. Her most recent collection doesn't defer from her reputation as models were seen walking down the runway sporting garments made from Kelsun, a seaweed-based fiber that is reported to have a lower carbon footprint compared to conventional fibers. McCartney also introduced 'Stella's Sustainable Marketplace' during the show, a display of "her eco-minded partners, as well as a vintage clothes and record stall, to allow people to learn about the brand's sustainability efforts".

2. Maria McManus

Maria McManus, an Irish-born designer had quite a bit to talk about in regards to her collection's involvement in sustainability this past Fashion Week. During the end of her show, she took time to go into detail of the sustainable materials that she used to make her designs. Designs made with recycled cashmere, organic cotton blends, recycled plastic sequins, and responsibly farmed tree pulp were only several of the sustainable sources McManus used in her Spring 2024 collection.

3. Eckhaus Latta

Eckhaus Latta's recent Spring 2024 collection focuses on steering away from overproduction within the industry. Latta partnered with the textile innovation studio and custom denim label that focuses on finding ways "to develop and apply innovative hardware and software toward smarter apparel production". Through their partnership, Latta produced a collection that featured garments made from 3D woven yarn.

4. Benedicte Laloux for ICICLE

After showcasing their collection at Shanghai Fashion Week, ICICLE has proven that they too earn a spot at the dinner table. The Chinese Fashion Label debuted their Spring 2024 collection that showcased garments constructed from natural materials like Linen, Hemp, and Guandong Gauze, a Chinese yam juice-dyed silk. ICICLE prides their brand as a sustainable fashion haus as they wish to focus on the infinite beauties nature has to offer through their collections.

As consumers are becoming more aware of their impact on the climate and Earth, we are starting to become more conscious of what brands to follow and lookout for. Fashion week allows us viewers to get a first view and depict which brands follow the sustainability standard and which ones fall beneath the cracks.

Want more? Tune in next week to learn more about the negative impacts of sweatshops.

Wearable High-Tech Fashion New York City's latest fashions incorporate technology and new fabrics to create designs that are practical and fashionable. From smart clothing to smart accessories these trends are grabbing attention from fashionistas and the public at large.

Glittery accessories and dresses are ideal for making a statement or dressing up for events. Layering and oversized Silhouettes From layering a oversized floral shirt over a tailored trench coat to an off-the-shoulder, floaty blouse with fringe trimmings, the breezy fashion is still in vogue. The trend isn't just about dresses. Designers like Rodarte, Tory Burch and Eckhaus Latta have reimagined classic office pieces. Electric pinks, often seen on runways, are another example of strong and vibrant colors that are likely to remain. The lilac tones and darker shades of purple have also been given a boost. They can be found everywhere from dresses for parties as well as sportswear, and even androgynous clothing. And while you might think that we're done with tie-dye fashion houses like Altuzarra have been extending this trend to formal wear. This time, the color is given a subtle and ombre-like treatment to create a chic result. Retro Rosettes The most delightfully feminine, fun and 3D and even a bit retro rosettes are seeing a revival in dresses, skirts and other accessories. These tiny flowers were a major part of the BLACKPINK Met Gala look. At Rosette that opened in December at the eastern edge of the Lower East Side, Nick Curtin makes use of some of the by-now-familiar gestures from New Nordic cuisine (ash, oats) to present a sexy, playful menu. This includes a crispy take of clam chowder, which is layered with panko-crusted orbs of steamed clams and clam juice bechamel. There's also tartares made of seared beef, that's topped with creme fraiche. Luckily, you don't need to be famous to get in on the rosette style. Check out six rosette patterns that can make you feel stylish and sultry. Fringe

A fringe is an edge of decorative design that is affixed to the edges of clothes, bags or other objects. It can also refer to the name given to a group of people that are a bit on the fringe of society, such as those who don't agree with the fundamental principles of a political or social movement. Twee Bags Theoretically, trends are created on the runways and then slowly creep into the streets. With the rise of social media and celebrity culture dominating the scene and changing the rules, fashion has changed. The hottest NYFW trends have already started to resonate across NYC.

Style mavens and influencers have been spotted wearing gender-neutral pieces including tops to pants which can be worn in skirts or dresses. Also spotted on the runways of Brandon Maxwell, Carolina Herrera and other shows is the return of event and party wear. From classic bandeau necklines to hemlines that are ballerina-length, dresses that feel regal are sure to be a hit in the spring of 2023. The bright orange hue is a popular choice for this season.

What's the vibe? #82

News:

Kering profits are down 12%... Sabato out at Gucci, Casey out at Mugler.....

Kendrick Lamar (and SZA) played the Super Bowl half time show in New Orleans on Sunday. Kendrick's fashion was the most talked about aspects of the show. He was wearing custom Martine Rose leather jacket, Celine bootleg jeans (from Hedi Slimane's era) and Nike trainers.

Why does the Slimane connection matter so much? First of all, he posted about it on his personal page.

Second of all, if you're a fan of Fashion Roadman, he's been talking about potential successors to Sebato Sarno at Gucci and basically explained his reasons for Hedi possibly being the next Creative Director. One of them being that the house of Gucci needs someone experienced in making million/billion dollar expansions and someone who has a fanbase in terms of design. This is a good opportunity for Hedi to show his chops to maybe this new side of the audience - would Slimane have dressed him anyway if he had a CD position anywhere else? Probably.

Which leads onto my next theory of the moment...is that with this musical chairs going on, the next 2 years in fashion are going to be interesting. Does anyone even have a favourite brand at the moment? Do we know what they stand for without a creative head? Everyone is vying for domination but what my prediction is that any brand that doesn't have a fragrance or strong accessories part to its sales is going to gain one. Think Jacquemus.

I think definitely Eckhaus Latta with these ads are trying to gain new stability. But also this focus on the fan and idol is a really interesting way to look at marketing product

Daring to be wide (leg) w/ Pharrell and Kendrick

Childlike things!

New York Fashion week bar a few designers is, I feel stuck, in these doll like costumes. These poppy colours, almost slip on shapes that a doll would wear. This season AW25, we have this Sandy Liang "Polly Pocket" analogy and the boots from Eckhaus Latta...

Coach was cute.

What does that say about the temperature in NYC? Do people feel trapped in the images that they've made? Are we playing dress up?

"It’s an extension of the girly look we’ve been seeing for a little while now, says professor Carolyn Mair, author of The Psychology of Fashion and founder of consultancy Psychology Fashion. Now, beyond sweet bows and ballet flats, designers are taking the theme further into the realm of the surreal. The doll aesthetic blurs the lines between reality and fiction, while posing as a response to the tragic news we’re bombarded with on the daily. “It’s one thing after another: the climate and the politics and the wars and everything else that’s going on in the world,” Mair says. “We all have an inner child, psychologically. We want to return to that in times of stress.”

So Americans are feeling the stress of war, hard economic times, Trump, disorganisation...what better way to deal with it then playing in the dollhouse.

What can we look forward to during London Fashion Week? Perhaps, something from goth subculture, more fantasy, maybe kitchen kitch, unique core wardrobe dressing (I'm thinking woolen scarves), sensuality... Everyone is going to try and go back to the core of their brands. There's this redefining personal style.

Instagram of the week:

Lohause, a glasses brand from Lisbon, Portugal who have created something interesting with their instagram. It's all about the story and the drama of these people's lives that you're concerned with. The fact that they live good lives, are relaxed and are thinking about the hypotheticals.
