Kendall & Kylie Jenner

The Jenner sisters showed their love in complementary looks that harmonised cut outs in a balanced composition of designs. The focal point on Kendall’s Schiaparelli gown drew the eyes to the top of the dress while Kylie’s vintage Mugler dress had a point of interest around her hips. These designs together expertly balanced the looks, allowing them to stand together as strongly as they stand alone, neither taking away from the other.

Davine Joy Randolph

Stunning Davine really was divine in gorgeous Louis Vuitton gown that emulated the contemporary and timeless in an expert marriage of past and present. The classic ballgown silhouette was tailored to the 21st century with the addition of scoping where the skirt meets the bodice, creating a soft movement instead of more traditional pleats. The think, structured bandeau design also roots the look in 2024, upgrading a classic off-the-shoulder look into a more visually complex cut. In the sea of daring celebs at the gala, we know Davine really was the belle of the ball in this look.

Laura Harrier

In gorgeous Ludovic De Saint Sernin design, Laura Harrier took on an almost dom look in black, studded dress. The cut outs along the skirt spiral downwards in an innovative look that other celebs at the gala didn’t risk, and for that reason we’re loving this design more and more. Worn without jewellery and natural glam to let the dress speak for itself, we’re seeing first-hand how the winter months really do inspire deep and bold looks.

Addison Rae

TikTok star turned actress and it-girl, Addison Rae, embraced her inner siren in stunning Alberta Ferretti gown that screams sexy. This cool-toned palette emulates gorgeous blue lagoons and casts the image of Addison being washed upon the shore in an effortlessly Aphrodite manner. The intricate lace and sheer detailing is almost lingerie-esque and the elegant blowout and simple makeup adds to the natural beauty and really shows us how exquisite natural beauty is.

Anna Sawai

Actress Anna Sawai also showcased Louis Vuitton in showstopping two piece. The ruched fabric in deep matte black took on a sheer quality due to the sewing technique, creating a complex characteristic to the shade as it reflects light and casts shadows. The one sleeve nods to a more traditional ballgown while the asymmetrical design creates a more modern intrigue, dragging Cinderella into

2024. The additional seam along the hip line creates a dropped waist look despite the midrise skirt placement, adding further detail to an oxymoronic, simple and complex look.

Winston Duke

Actor and producer Winston Duke really showed us how to upgrade a suit in a beautiful Etro design. The flowers add a pop of colour to the all-black look while the textured coat added further visual complexity without seeming garish or overbearing. Complemented with David Yurman jewellery, this look is classic, bold, and has a touch of the feminine; demonstrating that adding a few pattered elements can upgrade any tuxedo.

Jaden Smith

In another Louis Vuitton design, Jaden Smith has stayed true to his edgy, non- conforming roots in a crystal studded suit and statement shirt. The white undershirt has a high, ruched neckline in an almost old-fashioned, traditional look. The jacket sleeves, while hanging to the wrist, allow the arms to exit at the elbow in an innovative design that shows us what we can do with traditional look to upgrade them instead of sticking to the norm, embracing possibility. Paired with heeled boots and an array of rings, Jaden, like Winston, has embraced a touch of femininity in his look as he continues to challenge gender norms.

Italy’s fashion capital Milan is hosting its first fashion venture of 2021: Men’s Fashion Week. The highly anticipated event boasts features from 39 of men’s luxury fashion designers, including the likes of Fendi, Prada and TOD’s.

However, one of the most notable innovations for this year’s show, which has been running between 15-19th January, is that the fashion week is entirely digital, due to the expected social distancing restrictions in place in line with Italian governments.

Camera Nazionale Della Moda Italiana which stands for the National Chamber of Italian Fashion, is the organisation, which is platforming MFW, with the aim of promoting young designers.

While the lack of audience and hustle and bustle is no longer there, this change of working has forced designers to thrive and push their creativity to display their collections in new ways. Here are three shows which have done just that.

A COLD WALL*

British brand ‘ A COLD WALL*’ has been directed by young designer Samuel Ross, since it was founded in 2015 and taken the lux technical streetwear world by storm. The beginning of the FW21-22 show depicted an isolated and minimal show set up, with white flooring, scarcely placed green shrubbery and an illuminating yellow sculptural piece which a handful of models circulated around. The colour scheme was constantly being alternated throughout the show, from white and zesty lemon yellow to dark monochrome footage with eerie techno instrumentals played over the visuals.

The collection brings clean-cut silhouettes with a fusion of tailored Saville Row detailing such as pointed collars and cuffed shirt sleeves, combined with functional streetwear elements such as high -neck zips and loose tracksuit bottoms.

Colour palettes varied from hues of snow whites, ash greys, purple grapes and teal blues fading through to yellow ochre and classic shades of black. The continued development of A COLD WALL’S aesthetic can be described as an ode to futuristic fashion, whilst staying true to their London streetwear roots.

ETRO

Classic Italian family-run brand ETRO returns with its latest FW21-22 men’s collection for MFW, which is filmed in a large industrial warehouse which includes no other decorate element than the luminous coloured stained windows, which pours hues of warm yellow and orange light onto the runway floor replicating a sunset ambience. Fast-paced, upbeat electronic music complements the fast-moving models on the runway.

The vast spread collection pays homage to the textural and bohemian influenced aesthetic of ETRO we all know and love, with regular sightings of multicoloured jumpers and belted baggy trousers with paisley prints, paired with tailored suit jackets or sport caps. The most prominent accessory of the collection would be the use of leather cross-body bags which are embellished with flat studded metal detailing that come in various shapes and sizes.

A mix between a cool history teacher and a 1970’s hippie with athleisure detailing is how the ETRO collection may be interpreted, which is interestingly not following suit with many of the other current designers who are working with a futuristic aesthetic narrative, yet they remain effortlessly cool.

PRADA

Italian powerhouse PRADA showcases at MFW once again with their newest FW21-22 collection. The production is set around models walking through giant, spacious rooms with marble floorings and furry walls that are a different colour scheme in each room, from deep reds, lime greens, royal purples and baby pinks – each conveying different moods. The most serious nature of the models is followed by deep techno being played throughout the show but is occasionally interrupted with the clips of the models dancing freely and frantically to the music.

There is a clear reminiscence of a 1980’s influence being used in PRADA’s collection, with interlocking geometric patterns being used on the garments in conjunction with colourful oversized bomber jackets and overcoats or dark, as well as the slim tailoring which PRADA is renowned for. The triangular PRADA symbol is evident throughout the show, with the camera homing in on the emblem detailing, which was featured on the back of jumpers, sides of coat sleeves and most interestingly on the front of pocket padded leather gloves, which features a zip-up pocket on the front of the hand with chrome PRADA branding.

PRADA has remained cool and collected with this collection, with keeping in line with their minimal tailoring approach with pops of colour to keep things exciting.
