| Zoom Shirts Are Out. Zoom Fashion Is In. - The Wall Street Journal Posted: 19 Feb 2021 11:19 AM PST  IF WE'RE GOING to do this, then let's do this," declared Tanya Golesic over Zoom, flashing a wrist stacked with bangles and a kinetic gold cocktail ring. Ms. Golesic, the 49-year-old president of the Americas for shoe empire Jimmy Choo, initially surrendered to casual wear after leaving her New York home to shelter—and videoconference—in place on Long Island last spring. But once June rolled around, she snapped out of her sartorial slump, slipping into blouses and blazers with outsize sleeves and textural sweaters, all eventfully augmented by baubles. "I think people are over being boring…The whole idea of glamour is coming back." She fantasizes about setting track pants on fire. Over the past year, we've learned how to conduct everything from job interviews to divorces via computer screen. The halfhearted leggings-and-collared-shirt thing was fine when we naively thought confinement would last a few weeks. But the novelty of slobbing about in workout wear all day has waned. Now, thanks to some combination of optimism, sweatshirt fatigue and longing for a pre-pandemic world, many women are not only getting dressed for Zoom—they're getting decked out. "Feeling like you have a reason to look great is empowering," said Mercedes Posey, a Dallas clinical operations project manager who has logged into video work calls, galas and girls' nights. Throwing on such exuberant wares as can't-miss-'em chandelier earrings, bright-pink tops and a pearl-dappled beret gives Ms. Posey, 35, something to look forward to. Her vivacious work outfits have become such a small-screen sensation that her colleagues protest on the rare occasions her camera's turned off. If you're ready to elevate your own Zoom wardrobe, designers are conveniently offering plenty of tempting waist-up fodder this season. Miu Miu saw fit to embellish turtlenecks with crystals. Versace's oceanic prints will pop against any Zoom background; and Alexander McQueen's puffy sleeves (like those on the tromp l'oeil corset sweater shown above) cut a sumptuous silhouette on the screen. Swarovski's new creative director Giovanna Engelbert has just unveiled a bevy of supersize crystal jewelry that, even if worn with a plain T-shirt, will inject even the most droning video call with sparkle. Ms. Engelbert, who designed her debut collection in lockdown, admitted that she "went bigger because of Zoom, probably." Harriet Hawksworth, the editor in chief at e-commerce platform Farfetch, has noticed a rabid appetite for bright colors, punchy prints (like Marine Serre's signature crescent moons) and statement accessories. Chunky chain necklaces, hoops and headbands, like the red Prada one that inaugural poet Amanda Gorman wore indelibly at the inauguration, have proven popular. Such emphatic accessories "help you stand out from all the other tiny squares," said Jennifer Behr, a New York designer known for crystal-covered headbands. Her sales have leapt 40% in the last two months compared with the same period last year.  |
| The top trends from New York Fashion Week's digital February shows - New York Post Posted: 19 Feb 2021 06:20 PM PST This month's New York Fashion Week was primarily a virtual affair, with designers opting to release their collections via video or photo slideshows, but there was no shortage of buzz around the brands that did show. One major moment was a surprise runway appearance at Proenza Schouler from newly minted IMG model Ella Emhoff (you may also know her as Vice President Kamala Harris' stepdaughter who stole the inauguration fashion show in a sparkle-studded Miu Miu coat last month). Donning a relaxed-fit pantsuit — one of our favorite styles du jour — sans shirt, Emhoff, 21, rocked a hip mop of curls and round nerd-chic glasses. Power dressing, but make it Gen Z. The look is a sign of our sartorial times: In this pandemic, when we're at home dreaming of more stylish days, trends are yours to take and make your own. Whether your fashion fantasy involves cocooning yourself in head-to-toe knits or sporting stilettos and a decadent dress, designers offered everything from the practical to the truly fantastical. Here, six trends we're eager to embrace post-pandemic. The new knits For fall, designers served up some very witty knits: Victor Glemaud styled two-tone sweaters with matching cable-knit hot pants perfect for a night of Netflix while snuggled under a blanket, while Staud's slouchy styles topped roomy maxi dresses. Meanwhile at 3.1 Phillip Lim, a minimal, monochromatic sweatsuit proved that all it takes is a classic camel coat (paired with removable mittens!) to take this trend seamlessly from the sofa to your favorite outdoor dining spot. Green queens One shade of green reigned supreme: Dubbed "leprechaun" according to Pantone's fall 2021 predictions, the hue falls playfully somewhere over the rainbow — and between emerald and Kelly. Kim Shui's spliced separates were infused with the perky shade, as were looks from Jamaican-born, Brooklyn-based designer Theophilio's hotly anticipated collection. (We're partial to this athleisure-infused skirt suit.) Anna Sui's take was head-to-toe — right down to the leaf-print mask. Sparks joy Because who couldn't use more? Designers served up electrifying collections packed with playful pieces that you couldn't have a bad day in. Collina Strada brought double the fun via layers and psychedelic prints, while Studio 189 showed multicolored skirts with flouncy tiers that suggest twirling (at home, on your own, why not?). And in a runway video, during which the models all smiled brightly, Zimmermann's pastel patchwork finale gown swept the show. Blanket dressing Comfort dressing during a pandemic? Definitely not groundbreaking, but thankfully designers aplenty offered fresh takes on the ubiquitous cozy vibe. Thakoon took knit suiting and piled it with sweaters — lots and lots of sweaters. Bevza bundled up models with balaclavas, while Gabriela Hearst (who was also worn by first lady Dr. Jill Biden for last month's inauguration events) showed a sumptuous floor-length cape that's picture perfect for snowy days. Chill pantsuiting Warning: These are not your typical power pantsuits. Prabal Gurung's oversized take — right down to the extra-long hem — is boldly hued and layered with extra-long strands of pearls. Rosetta Getty carried over spring's love affair with leather and layered relaxed suiting with pinstriped tunics. And at Proenza Schouler, the quiet but chic blazer (modeled by Emhoff) and loose-fit pants showed that fashion week is still serious business. Pure fantasy For those with sweatpants fatigue, rejoice! Glamour glittered on runways aplenty. Markarian's Alexandra O'Neill (who became a household name after Biden donned her designs during the inauguration) served up cocktail frocks bursting with embellished fireworks, while Christian Cowan's sexy neon bodycon minidresses — styled with matching thigh-high stilettos — showed us how to rock some serious swag from the comfort of our beds (Judith Leiber martini-shaped purse optional). For otherworldly inspiration, Tia Adeola's ethereal feather gown is a true fashion moment in flight.  |
| 15 Must-See Photos From New York Fashion Week - HuffPost Posted: 19 Feb 2021 01:40 PM PST  Add "wearing fancy clothes" to the list of things we're looking forward to this autumn, behind vaccines and the prospect of a return to semi-normalcy. New York Fashion Week has unfolded amid a global pandemic and the future, according to the fall 2021 runways, is bright. Think less loungewear, more "let's party." Though this year's events have been decidedly lacking in front-row celeb moments and the fanfare typically associated with fashion week (for obvious reasons), there have still been plenty of must-see moments, from dogs on the runway to swimsuits in February to an appearance by Vice President Kamala Harris' stepdaughter Ella Emhoff, who walked in the Proenza Schouler show. The best seat this season, it appears, is anywhere you can look at these photos. Below, 15 must-see looks from the fall 2021 collections.  |
