Quality fashion and hairstyle news right now? “Bold, brave brights are here to stay as we continue to embrace fantasy fashion and experiment with eclectic colours and unique prints more than ever before,” says Libby Page, senior market editor at NET-A-PORTER, noting that it’s these vibrant clothes that make consumers feel good from the inside out. “We’re of course backing anything with a positive and adventurous approach.” And it’s no wonder the buyers are keen to get involved, as the retail results back up the investment. This year, NET-A-PORTER has seen phenomenal increases YoY on sales of brightly coloured goods, with green being really driven up by bags and, specifically, the influence of Bottega Veneta’s Kermit-green styles, like the crazy-popular Jodie bag.

Valentino landed the number two spot, after not ranking last season. What that tells us: There must be power in pink. Pierpaolo Piccioli’s exclusive use of eye-popping hot pink and black divided reviewers, but not Vogue Runway’s readers. Also: There’s definitely power in celebrity. A Zendaya sighting never hurts and the superstar made her only appearance of the season at Piccioli’s show. His Paris venue had screaming fans by the thousands outside to greet her, a site and sound reproduced over and over again this season, with Kim Kardashian turning up at Prada and Balenciaga, Julia Fox at Versace, and the resplendently pregnant Rihanna at Gucci, Off-White, and Christian Dior. Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Dior collection was our number-one most-viewed show of the season. She also had Blackpink’s Jisoo in the front row.
The new decade is well and truly here and while 2022 has shown us a new world we are still adjusting to, 2022 wedding hair feels a little different to previous years. Why? Well, nothing is off-limits with much smaller weddings, elopements and impromptu ceremonies. It’s an interesting time where anything goes and while there may be less of a focus on trends this year, there are defining looks that we are likely to continue to see.
High-rise jeans may have dominated our wardrobes for over a decade, but come spring 2022 things get a whole lot more ’00s as the low-slung waist makes its way back to the forefront of sartorial conscious. They’re all about bearing the midriff, so there’s no trend value in opting for a low-rise and hiding it beneath a long knit. Opt for cropped tops for full ’00s drama. Suits may have been off the sartorial radar for quite some months as swathes of the country took to working from home in loungewear, next season sees the old staple return with a vengeance. Stark white and complete with show-stopping accents – from waist ties to contrast black hardware and bold shoulders, these are pieces that will make the prospect of returning to your commute a whole lot more bearable. Led by a team of highly dedicated and motivated group of individuals we are firmly focused on our customer’s needs. We hope that with continuous developments and innovation we will continue to expand and bring our unique experience to shoppers throughout the world.
Change of perspective. Fashion is imagined in the studio and created in the atelier, but it is on the street that it becomes alive and real, meeting the imperfection of existence, day after day, lit by the unique identity of the wearer. Pierpaolo Piccioli brought this idea to life by blurring the lines between the insider and the outsider, staging the show at the marketplace at the Carreau du Temple, and the nearby cafes and restaurants, where models walked through the public streets for all to see, before heading into the official showspace. The collection also paid tribute to the Valentino archive, recreating five iconic pieces to be worn in new ways. It was the first ready-to-wear show held by the house since the pandemic began, and was entitled ‘Valentino: Rendez-Vous’.
People who watched Netflix’s recent smash hit Russian Doll can’t stop talking about two things: that scary elevator scene and star Natasha Lyonne’s hair. More specifically, it’s her curly bangs that make everyone wonder if they too can try the gorgeous cut, whether they have naturally curly hair or not. Hairstylist Ted Gibson, the man behind Sandra Oh’s glorious fringe, previously told Allure that nailing curly bangs starts with a serious chat with your stylist. He also mentions they should be cut with scissors (held vertically) for “a softer edge.”
The AW22 collection from Tod’s was a celebration of Italian beauty. Creative director Walter Chiapponi aimed to reimagine icons of Italian beauty, transforming them into modern, versatile objects for everyday use. Italian heritage reverberates in this collection’s aesthetic research, examining Italy’s culture, highlighting tradition that has always been rooted in the mission of Tod’s. After taking over from Daniel Lee in November, Matthieu Blazy’s first collection for Bottega Veneta certainly made for one of the most highly anticipated shows of the season. Through it, Blazy addressed the question ‘What makes Bottega Veneta?’ Bottega Veneta is in essence pragmatic because it is a leather goods company, said Blazy. Because it specialises in bags it is about movement, of going somewhere; there is fundamentally an idea of craft in motion. It is style over fashion in its timelessness. That is part of its quiet power. Find more info on fashion trends.
