• Lyst named Miu Miu as the top clothing brand of 2023 in its annual Year in Fashion report.
• The Italian design house was extremely influential amongst celebrities and fashion fans this year.
• It brought back ballet flats and started a new underwear-as- outerwear trend.

After a year of trendsetting, Miu Miu has been named the top fashion brand of 2023 by Lyst.

“In its 30th anniversary year, Miuccia Prada’s playful line became Lyst’s Brand of the Year for the second year in a row, with searches increasing 39% year-on-year,” the retailer said in its annual Year in Fashion report.

Those searches, according to Lyst, are the result of “viral products, celebrity-packed runway moments, hyped collaborations,” and “buzzy campaigns.”

Tired of waiting for endless talk of change to actually spur action, the Swedish Fashion Council (SFC) drew a line in the proverbial sand and took a stand for change in the industry, establishing Fashion X last year as a way to move away from market-centric shows and focus on designers and other ways of understanding the industry. “If we look into Fashion Week, it’s [about] events connected only to fashion, and what we try to do with Fashion X is also connect fashion to culture,” SFC CEO Jennie Rosén told Vogue Runway.

The second edition of the event, which gathers fashion folk from across the globe in Stockholm, took place last week. In four jam-packed days in Stockholm, guests listened to talks (some in collaboration with Dazed) on diversity, emerging talent support, Gen Z, forestry, and the secondary market. They enjoyed African cuisine and locavore fare

Six runway shows will take over the York Street Yards during Denver Fashion Week (November 11 to 19). Most of the hype leading up to the event is focused on California-based luxury brand St. John, which is kicking off the festivities with an opening show, and seven-year-old designing prodigy Max Alexander’s fashion event debut on day seven.

At its core, though, DFW is about celebrating Colorado designers and fashion creatives. We’re highlighting the five local brands to catch on the runway, so you can finally be the most fashionable person in your crew.

Back in 2017, Ray Howard recognized that the fashion industry lacked gender-nonconforming clothing, so the

If you’ve been scrolling through your Instagram feed and suddenly stopped on a celebrity dressed perfectly in feathers or a bright flush, chances are they’re wearing The Attico. A favorite among stars like Dua Lipa, Kendall Jenner, and Rihanna, the seven-year-old Italian maximalist label epitomizes the fun and fantasy that many yearn for in a post-isolation era.

The brand’s founders and designers, Gilda Ambrosio and Georgia Tordini, are their own brand of cool. The Milanese street style icons continue to forge new territory and grow their augmenting fan base, season after season — all while staying true to their effortlessly maximalist, at-times sporty, fun-loving ethos. Their first foray into runway, entitled The Morning After, debuted during Paris fashion week to great praise among celebrities, fashion

ABUJA, Nigeria — Africa’s fashion industry is growing rapidly to meet local and international demand but inadequate investment limits its potential, UNESCO said Thursday in a report released during Lagos Fashion Week.

Currently valued at $15.5 billion worth of exports annually, the earnings from the continent’s fashion industry could triple over a decade with the right investment and infrastructure, according to UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay, who launched the organization’s first report on fashion in Africa in Nigeria’s economic hub of Lagos.

With a young population of 1.3 billion people set to double by 2050, the continent’s fashion industry has also proven to be both “a powerful lever for the promotion of cultural diversity (and) also a way to empower young people and women,” said Azoulay.

Across the continent, fashion continues to grow on various fronts – including in movies and films – in the form of textiles, garments as well

One of the coolest, cult, underground labels today is Gypsy Sport.

Over the past decade, designer Rio Uribe has carved out a new space for a brand

With its logo, which looks like an astrological symbol, or perhaps an interpretation of the planet Jupiter, we’ve seen Gypsy Sport grow from an underground, genderless, streetwear-focused brand to something more sophisticated. Today, it fuses elements of high glamor with jersey chic.

Since his first collection launched in New York in 2013, we’ve seen his vision as a designer evolve over the past decade. He has transformed the way we look at basketball jerseys, numbers, logos and lace.

Now, Uribe launched his latest collection at Los Angeles Fashion Week. The new collection celebrates Chicano history

Los Angeles Fashion Week, presented by N4XT Experiences, ran from October 18 to 22, showcasing, more than anything else, up-and-coming talents. When one typically thinks of a Hollywood-based fashion extravaganza, brands like Revolve and Alo come to mind, so do the Kardashians. But instead, we saw futuristic fashion, sportswear-inspired looks, and a dash of the macabre. Some of highlights included silk pieces, quiet luxury beige and sci-fi couture.

It may be hard for young designers to make it in the fashion industry, but it’s even harder for women. In a sea of male fashion designers, LAFW showcased a total of 12 runway shows and presentations. Three and a half of them were female designers—Sami Miro, Imitation of Christ designer Tara Subkoff, Demo, co-designer of the Demobaza brand, and Claude Kameni (sadly,

The 14th edition of Ljubljana Fashion Week in the stunning new creative hub, Center Rog, a former bicycle factory, was a brilliant showcase of 30 Eastern European (mostly Slovenian) established and emerging designers, including some interesting collaborations and comebacks. Open to the public, LJFW is an independent fashion platform, headed by the super energetic Melinda Rebrek who says “in addition to having a focus on sustainability, Ljubljana Fashion Week embraces all forms of creativity with joy and pride, showing a diverse range of aesthetics and trends, from avant-garde couture to streetwear chic.” Here is a selection of some of the most interesting brands on this year’s catwalk, in Slovenia’s charming capital.

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — KGUN9 first introduced you to Ian Urquhart, the owner of Ignis Clothing, back in February 2023 for Black History Month. Today, we share our follow up interview with the midtown designer who was making clothes for the runway out of his garage.

From the Old Pueblo to the Big Apple, Urquhart took his Tucson clothing brand to the runway at New York Fashion Week earlier this month. His traveling crew of about 15 people– models, hair stylists, makeup artists and photographers were all from Tucson.

Urquhart was able to walk out on the runway with his models after the show to soak in what he had just accomplished.

“I was just planning on walking out and just saying thank you. Then something happened where I just felt the music and I started dancing down the runway. Oh my gosh, it was honestly a really fun moment
