]]> Since 2018, when Casey Cadwallader took over Mugler as its newly appointed creative director, the fashion label has experienced a revival, becoming the ultimate celebrity go-to, plastered across the Instagram pages of our fashion-forward friends and desired by us at home. Adored by the likes of Kim Kardashian and Miley Cyrus, Mugler has always been praised for its daring designs and promotion of female empowerment, but the brand’s latest drop trumps anything they’ve ever done before.

To showcase the brand’s upcoming FW21 collection Casey Cadwallader brought an amalgamation of force, femininity, and acrobatics to the runway. Through a futuristically potent film, the collection is bought to life as models, including Amber Valletta and Jill Kortleve, can be seen to be thrown around, falling into, and shadowed, by figures masked in white, drawing all attention to the designs themselves. Bella Hadid also stars in the film, styled in a combination of strong and sexy pieces which effectively convey the message of the brand.

The collection unveiled ultimate power looks through a contrast of black colour blocking with bursts of neon, mesh detailing, and the brand’s illustrious structured garments, embellished with gold draping chains which elegantly hung to compliment and accentuate the female form in all its glory.

A sense of supremacy is enforced throughout the exhibit by dominating strides, intense stares and bold postures, highlighted in the film by the effects of slow-motion, zoom, and strobe lighting. Mugler FW21 is a collection for the modern woman, in celebration of power dressing.

The collection is available to shop now at fashion.mugler.com and you can watch the film here.

“Gap continues to amplify the voices of change-making and culture shaping individuals, celebrating who they are and what makes them a true representation of the voices of today. These incredible individuals characterize an optimistic future fueled by creativity, possibility, and unity.”  says Mary Alderete, global head of Gap marketing.

Gap’s heritage is rooted in championing empowerment and optimism that transcends into celebrating individualistic personalities and respect for all. Since 1969, the brand has been at the forefront of launching several campaigns that promote inclusivity and progress. Consequently, capturing the reminiscents from the ’90s, the 2021 campaign has reinvented its Gap essentials to a more effortless style that represents comfort and embracing oneself and has been shot and directed by Seliger and Weber. The duo has been capturing the essence of Gap creatives for years. Each of the campaign videos is focused on “15 minutes of fame” showcasing stories of the chosen individuals in just 15 seconds and each of the ambassadors can be seen sporting pieces from the collection like plaid-button downs, relaxed jeans, hoodies, and transitional outwear.

The statement eye trend has been sweeping the post-pandemic world and Dior’s haute couture Autumn/Winter 2021 show saw the models contrast feminine dresses with a punk-like eye.

Head of Christian Dior makeup Peter Phillips was the brains behind this masterpiece telling Vogue: “The look is elegant and a bit edgy. It’s a very graphic eye, but it’s got a bit of a soft edge. We actually went back to what we did for pre-fall, which was an under eyeliner, where I added glitter patches on top, which Maria Grazia really liked. But, we wanted to do it in an intense blue using a matte black and with the colour Denim from the 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette over it.”

Emphasis was on the eyes and the eyes alone, as the skin was kept matt and natural with a slight contour and eyebrows were naturally filled to compliment the model’s tone. If you want to get the full look, Dior has cited their Dior Forever Natural Bronze, Dior Addict Lip Glow and Dior Backstage Face and Body Powder-No-Powder.

Over on fashion, there was a celebration of hand-loomed tweeds and riding hats, while the show’s backdrop was created especially for the event by French artist Eva Jospin in the Rodin Museum which celebrates the savoir-faire and cultures of the world.

]]> Virgil Abloh’s Off-White show was without a doubt, an exhilarating journey. He did name the show “Laboratory of Fun” for good reasons. As a remarkable opener to Paris haute couture season (since the pandemic hit), the show was born out of a period of growth and evolvement of the designer. The show was led by Bella Hadid, who entered the “Laboratory of Fun” with an electric blue sheath dress.

Coming back from the year ‘off’ that was 2020, Abloh declared he had turned around his visualization of what Off-White must grow into. Detaching himself from the fateful year, Abloh felt an urge to switch direction for the brand, changing path and what the brand should evolve into: “You know, I take 2020 to heart. When we were sitting at home watching the world get turned upside down, there were very, very clear guidelines on what the fashion industry was like, and what (people were) hoping it would sort of evolve to. So this is like a big deal: Essentially when fashion shows do start, how do we come back and behave? You can’t just glide over that.”

The show was evidently an exuberant reunion, an unexpected twist that was much needed to repurpose the traditional ritual of the catwalk, coupled with a show-stopping performance by MIA. What the show entailed was a considerably minimalist, luxurious yet deconstructed collection, that reimagined the foundations of a catwalk and offered an alternative perspective on how to find cohesion beyond the aesthetic values of the pieces displayed, which could almost act as a metaphor for how to find joy again after such an impetuous and turbulent time for all.

“If I were to look at my body of work, I think I’ve grown up the most in the shortest amount of time. I think it’s rebelling against the younger version of myself. And that’s the first time I’ve actually said that.”

Virgil Abloh

The decision to open couture week was spot on. Though the brand hasn’t detached itself from ready-to-wear, the evolution of the brand can be seen through the sophisticated take on the tailored skirt suits, the elegant slimline coats and two evening dresses with foam-padded hips that combined the world of menswear and womenswear without any distinction. Gendering clothes is something Abloh detests: “I’ve always believed in diversity on all ends of the spectrum. Age, gender, orientation—when it comes to representing that, you know we’re across that as best we can.”

Off-white takes a completely new approach to delivering the brand’s identity through graphics rather than solely relying on its unmistakable logo. This decision seems to elevate the brand and make it truly become competition for any other Parisian fashion house. A particular favourite of ours is the cream skirt-suit; along with the ice-blue and lavender coats, which are simply divine. The show concluded with models and Abloh applauding and dancing with MIA and her troupe of dancers. The room was filled with an uplifting sense of encouragement that radiated positivity in all directions and ended up in a chaotic explosion of joy.

Throughout the show, Abloh broadcasted talks and music from his “Imaginary FM” radio station, opened by a discussion led by Trinice McNally and Jaimee Swift. “It started over the pandemic, where I made a content stream of supporting creatives giving creatives voice, fashion, art and culture. That seemed more contemporary than just, like, models walking in a straight line, as if they’re hangers for garments to sell them, you know? I was trying to figure out how to capture my world, and put that with when people look at my clothes. To me, this content is why I exist. That’s why the brand exists. And that’s a specific point: If we said that’s what we wanted in the industry, I need to see it—not just a show that starts and ends. It can’t be vague. I think vagueness got us to where we were before. I’m older and wiser now. And that’s a magical thing.”

The vision that Virgil Abloh offers us is certainly more mature than his previous shows, defining a contemporary elegance that not many can capture. But we can’t help but wonder how well couture dresses for and outfits hovering between streetwear and workwear can be presented in a single collection. The male line wasn’t quite as loud but felt more cohesive, whereas the female proposal is undoubtedly more conceptually successful, even though the study of cuts and the choice of materials does not seem inspired by his origins as an architect, which was according to Abloh what he was trying to convey.
