DSQUARED2 celebrated their 30^th anniversary last night by turning the runway into a New York club scene, even including a gathered crowd outside, for the ultimate birthday bash. 

The runway was graced by famous faces in leu of their 30^th anniversary. The stars that featured were Alex Consani, Irina Shayk, Isabeli Fontana, Tyson Beckford, and of course iconic supermodel Naomi Campbell closing the show, and not forgetting a special performance from JT at the end.

Doechii kicked off the show as she pulled up in a military-style vehicle exiting with dollar bills and in an army inspired look; wearing denim booty shorts, an oversized chunky brown belt, and a green corseted jacket, she stormed the runway along with a makeshift cigarette packet fixed to her sleeve which she pulled a cigarette out of.

Born in Canada, Made in Italy, is the founding brothers, Dean & Dan Caten’s slogan but it’s clear their inspiration was drawn from America as we saw Western cowboy tropes, biker leather and an abundance of New York City references including the classic yellow taxis and NYPD cars. 

Dean and Dan unveiled heavy duty denim, studded leather jackets, fur trims, a whole lot of army green, plus the return of DSQUARED2’s iconic Skate Boot. Cowboy references ran deep as the audience saw a heavy nod towards the trend that’s been so prominent over the past year and clearly on its way to making a return this autumn. Brought to life by the models strutting in cowboy boots with silver accents, leather chaps and jackets, flannel shirts and neckties, and not forgetting the most important accessory – the cowboy hat (and a belt here and there) to bring the looks together.

Renderings of leather and denim played a significant role in DSQUARED2’s show, seen as both gilets, bottoms, and everything in between, and most importantly Naomi Campbell’s whole ensemble including thigh high leather boots for the finale. This along with a few baker boy caps dotted throughout gave a nod to a sort of 1930s American pluck.

DSQUARED2 didn’t forget about America’s punk-rock era with nods towards the band KISS in both the makeup and the clothing which included their logo as the show started to draw to a close. We also got a bit of 70s disco thrown into the mix with neon catsuits, jewelled disco ball dresses, a multi-colour sequin tank, and a roller skater in a fishnet vest with a bedazzled denim jacket performing jaw dropping tricks on the runway.

To finish the show off, the DSQUARED2 brothers pulled up in an NYPD cop car and were walked down the runway in handcuffs by a police officer. Arrested for that bombshell of a show? We should hope so.

Victoria’s Secret has made its famous return to New York after five years off the runway and came back more inclusive and diverse as promised.

The show was kicked off with Gigi rising up from under the runway in a soft pink playsuit and the classic Victoria’s Secret wings, followed by more Angels in an array of soft pinks and whites creating a charming and dreamy start to the show, including debut from plus-size model Devyn Garcia, who kickstarted Victoria’s Secret’s new image.

This year Victoria’s Secret was represented by two transgender models – Brazilian model Valentina Sampaio who has worked with them since 2019, and a new addition of Alex Cosani. As Victoria Secret promised to “celebrate all women”, plus size models Paloma Elsesser and Ashley Graham also strutted down the runway making multiple extravagant appearances.

Kate Moss made a surprise debut on the runway in a powerful, dark, lace outfit, with feathered wings, joined by daughter, Lila, in a bouncy pink jacket with unique wings spelling out ‘Lila VS’ in cursive – the perfect way to assemble the mother-daughter duo.

After Kate, a dark, metallic theme emerged and here is where we saw the inclusivity really begin and Victoria’s Secret fulfilling their promise to fans. We watched Valentina Sompaio walk the runway with giganantic bow-like wings, followed by plus-size model Kai Soleil, and later featuring Miss Tyra Banks closing the show.

As that section continued, we saw legendary Irina Shayk covered in stars followed by Joan Smalls in the most intricately carved wings, adding her finishing touch to that section.

As the models walked, attendees couldn’t keep their eyes off the shoes, all meticulously created to correspond with one theme and match each specific outfit. The shoes wrapped around the models’ legs, some with flowers or wings, others in a diamante style or plain and simple.

Plus-size model Ashley Graham opened the following section in a lace lingerie set with gold embellished wings and shoes to match. We got given a dark and sexy vibe, again heavily featuring red and black. Alessandra Ambrosio made her anticipated return in a sensual lingerie bodysuit, along with a debut from Jill Kortleve – another plus-size model feature this year, in a gorgeous flower number.

The fourth and final section began with an unexpected Cher performance and a lot of red to strongly finish of the show. Here we saw an influx of the original Angels closing the show with a bang, including Candice Swanepoel, Grace Elizabeth and Adriana Lima, accompanied by the new faces of VS.

The show was thought to be closed by the second Hadid Sister – Bella, in a ‘black swan’ feathered robe, opposite to Gigi who embodied the white swan in the opening. However, as the audience wondered whether she was coming out, the OG Tyra Banks rose from beneath the stage in a shiny corset and robe, and closed the show surrounded by all the angels.

The show reflected Victoria’s Secret in a new light, as they listened to criticisms and created a more inclusive and diverse show. We can’t wait to see more from them in the future.

Tie-Dye has made its way back into fashion by force. Its transparent entrance into SS20 has not only hit retailers, but many independent labels are seen to grasp at the psychedelic trend.

Needless to say, tie-dye is always pushing boundaries and has done for many periods in fashion, but more so shifting its audience to a less a psychedelic target and to a more on-trend audience as of the production of loungewear.

The fashion industry has not only adapted to this pandemic, but it has opened a gateway for creativity that has made tie-dye one of the ‘most wanted’ attire. This season tie-dye is grounded on pastel and lighter shades of colour as it shifts from its original scheme of bold shades.

It goes without notice that luxury brands have grasped at the idea of tie-dye before and have incorporated the style in their collections; such as Stella McCartney and Prada. With fast fashion at its peak, it can be seen that online and in-store retailers are quick to jump on the trend especially Missguided, Pretty Little Thing and Asos, with different styles and fits of tie-dye for a much lower price.

The tie-dye effect has been seen to make its way on to the social media spectrum as it being the central hub for celebrities and the place to find new styles. With the majority being on Instagram, the unique pattern seeks to spiral its way into people’s shopping baskets without hesitation, it is meant to be in this season with that sort of effect on people!

The Kardashian and Jenner clan have also been spotted significant of times strutting in tie-dye. Kylie Jenner’s baby girl Stormi is also seen to embed the concept of tie-dye in her ‘Stormi World’ merchandise catering to her baby couture. Artists such as Travis Scott has also interpreted the tie-dye model in his album merchandise for ‘Astroworld’.It can be perceived that tie-dye is a symbol of authenticity, whereby each item of clothing will never be the same, so you don’t have to worry about fashion clashes. This psychedelic print is easy to achieve as the name suggests all you need to do is grab your favourite t-shirt tie it up and dye it. For more detailed instructions here are links to YouTube videos showing how this trend can be achieved
