Don’t expect to see any runway gimmicks at this year’s New York Fashion Week. A preliminary skim of September 2023’s NYFW schedule reveals an emphasis on ready-to-wear, with brands like Michael Kors, LoveShackFancy, Cos and Head of State on the agenda. But dig a little deeper and you’ll find names such as Grace Ling, Chan Chit Lo and Sho Konishi, all set to make their debut. These up-and-coming designers are redefining what ready-to-wear means, helping blend art and fashion in everyday life. So, don’t let the familiar names fool you—from September 8 until September 13, NYFW is going to get weird in the most fashionable way possible.  

Day one starts off strong with shows by Helmut Lang, Christian Siriano and Ralph Lauren, among others. Although you might recognize these brands, don’t skip over them in search of

Kate, the Princess of Wales, and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, have crossed fashion paths at regular intervals over the past six years, with the royal sisters-in-law both looking to the same brands and designers to outfit them for their public appearances.

Over the years, both have repeatedly returned to the same style leader, French fashion designer Roland Mouret. Whether it be for a red carpet, a royal tour or, most recently, a world class sporting event, Wimbledon, Mouret’s classic and elegant clothes have fit the bill for both Kate and Meghan.

Mouret was born in 1961 and

Elle Fanning has been working in Hollywood since she was just a toddler. Making her film debut at just two years old (playing the younger version of her big sister, Dakota, in the 2001 film, I Am Sam), Fanning already had dozens of on-screen credits to her name by the time of her breakout role in Maleficent at 16 years old. Of course, she’d displayed her style expertise with plenty of red carpet looks, too, which helped her win over fashion brands early on in her career.

In 2011, American designer Marc Jacobs chose Fanning as the face of his upcoming Marc by Marc

Monday, May 8, 2023, The Fashion Group International (FGI) held its 27th Annual Rising Star Awards, which celebrated and honored this year’s finalists and emerging talent. On the heels of the Accessories Council Excellence Awards (ACE) black-tie gala on May 3, which took place at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City, honoring Wolverine as the brand of the year, celebrating the 140th anniversary, the FGI award show also recognized new talent in fashion, beauty, and related

Fashion and booze have always intertwined. Just look at how Grand Marnier has partnered with New York Fashion Week or when Absolut Vodka staged a sustainable runway at London Fashion Week.

It makes sense, as the cocktail hour has practically become its own runway show. Buzzy fashion designers have the power to sway the fashion crowd to one booze brand or another—especially when complimentary drinks are at play during their cocktail soirées.

In fact, fashion designer Vera Wang has her own line of vodka with Chopin, and beachwear brand Tommy Bahama has its own line of spirits, too. And now, one haute tequila brand 21 Seeds is popping up all over the fashion scene—whether it’s store openings, VIP parties, or fashion week events hosted by designers like Kidsuper, Dion Lee, Rebecca Vallance and most recently at the

Seoul Fashion Week is hailed for having the best street style. But that’s not all, some of the most innovative Asian designers have their runway shows here, too. The five-day event kicked off on March 16 at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Jung-gu, Seoul.

It was the first time that Seoul Fashion Week returned after a three year hiatus due to the pandemic. A major highlight was the trade show, a gathering of buyers and industry insiders where 120 brands showcased their latest collections to 500 local and overseas buyers from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Dubai, and beyond.
