WASTE-LESS FASHION IS NOT A MYTH 🌿 #DACBE: They say that fashion will never be 100% sustainable. A brand can do its best to keep things eco-friendly, but in the end, clothes are still being produced. But #DuranLantink‘s (@duranlantinkyo) method proves the industry that there’s a revolutionary (and very witty) way of making fashion as wasteless as possible. His upcycling methods – repurposing unsold designer-label clothes in his pioneering, cheeky way – date back to 2013, but only now seem to fully resonate with a wider audience. #AW21 season is the designer’s first (of course digital) fashion show collection. More on the JOURNAL! 🚀 #SustainableFashion #Upcyling #Sustainability #ReLove #ReUse #TheFutureOfFashion #2000sNostalgia #DACBECOLLECTIONS ⛱ “live” collage by me, music: “Space Talk” by Asha Puthli.

TRÈS COOL 💥 #DACBE: #LouiseTrotter‘s sustainable-meets-chic-meets-smart vision of #Lacoste keeps on delivering with every season. More about the #AW21 collection on the JOURNAL 🌺 #Paris #AthleisureWear #SustainableFashion #Upcycling #SoChic #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🍄 “live” #collage by me, music: “Crooked Madame” by Roisin Murphy.

It’s Miuccia’s day 💛 Tagged all my favourite Pradaist feeds in case you ever need some Miuccia brilliance 🍋 #MiucciaPrada #Prada

Spring has finally arrived (and everything feels carefree and innocent). A very busy Sunday as you can see! 💐 #SpringTime #SpringIsHere #Mennonite #BeautifulPoland #Ciechocinek

RE-SIGNIFICATION 🐛 #DACBE: At #Valentino, #PierpaoloPiccioli keeps his “re-signification” going - which the line of thought about identity, humanity, and radicalism around which he’s been tailoring his practice since last year. “Today, more than ever, aesthetics are determined by identity”. More about his #PreFall2021 on the JOURNAL 🦋 #Milan #Identity #Humanity #Values #StayHumble #Blooming #SpringTime #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌿 “live” #collage by me, music: “Echo Returns” by Róisín Murphy.

About today 💛 Bittersweet #Warsaw ☁️ #LockdownLife #ColourPalette #Lukullus #Balenciaga #PolinMuseum #Loewe

#KatarzynaKozyra’s „Świat Wzorcowy” („Model World”). First IRL encounter with art in a loooooong time. A burst of lockdown feelings. 🍄 #Warsaw #PolishArt #ContemporaryArt #LockdownArt #AllTheFeelings

COCTEAU & COCO 🎼 #DACBE: #VirginieViard‘s #Chanel is like a sinusoid – one time it’s bizarrely unedited and clumsy, and then it’s fantastically light and super chic. Her #Resort2022 has both, although the latter fortunately prevails. The fashion show followed the footsteps of #JeanCocteau and was a digital, cultural trip to #Provence’s #CarrieresDeLumieres, where the clothes worked really well echoing the artist’s visually delightful “The Testament of Orpheus” film. More on the JOURNAL ♟ #AnnaEwers #LolaNicon #CocoChanel #SoChic #SurrealArt #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🖤 “live” collage by me, music: “Elevator Trio” by Theodore Shapiro, Caroline Shaw, Petra Haden & Susanna Hoffs for “Bombshell”.

SPRING INTO SUMMER 🦜 New animated (and not only) works for @officialbrownthomas 🌵 #SS21 #Loewe #Balmain #JilSander #SpringTime #FlowerPower #Collage

Spring moments and gestures. Joni Mitchell’s “For Free” playing in the background. 🕊 #SpringTime #SpringMood #WhiteDove #MotherNature

CONTRASTS ARE SEXY 💥 #DACBE: #AnthonyVaccarello’s #AW21 #SaintLaurent collection was all about contrasts: luxury and kitsch, polished and raw, elegance and trash. There was even a stark contrast between the sultry clothes the designer delivered and the (rather very) windy runway venue. More on the JOURNAL 🌪 #Paris #YSL #SuperChic #PartyGirl #DACBECOLLECTIONS ☄️ “live” #collage by me, music: “Vanities” by Charlotte Gainsbourg.

BLOOMING 💐 New animated works for @officialbrownthomas 🌻 #SS21 #DolceGabbana #Zimmermann #SpringTime #FlowerPower #Collage 🌷 Thanks @darrenjfeeney!

VINTAGE, EVERYTHING!🪞#DACBE: It’s no news that vintage became our (old) new favourite way to shop – especially now, during the global pandemic. Some consumers are thinking deeply about their carbon footprint for the first time, look towards a sustainable lifestyle or simply want a true, one-of-kind gem in their wardrobe. I follow plenty of vintage lovers and collectors, from the well-known ones to emerging names, and I feel constantly inspired by their knowledge and fresh take on wearable fashion history. There’s a whole huge splash of vintage shops on Instagram lately, but it’s really not just about having that 2000s Dior Saddle bag or a Jean Paul Gaultier tattoo top in store. A truly succesful, digital vintage spot doesn’t imitate anything else – the key is an authentic, personal style, which sharply curates the new arrivals and drops. On the JOURNAL you will find my favourite five Instagram feeds that sell the most exciting vintage fashion, from archival Prada skirts and over-the-top Blumarine dresses to hand-knitted vests and Anna Sui shearling jackets. And so much more, because brilliant vintage isn’t just about the tag, but the soul of the garment! 💃🏻 My “live” #collage features the vintage-perfect #Prada SS’90 🌞 #VintageFashion #VintageLove #UglyChic #SustainableFashion #VintageStyle #MiucciaPrada 🤎 collage music: “La Maritza” by Sylvie Vartan.

Rest In Peace #AlberElbaz. The saddest and heart-breaking news on a Sunday morning. 💔💔💔

FEMININITY NOW 🎺 #DACBE: To some designers, the slowed down pace forced by the pandemic does wonders. #RiccardoTisci‘s latest collection for #Burberry is his best yet for the British brand. The #AW21 line-up reminds of Tisci’s early work at Givenchy: dark, well-edited, elegant, and perfectly balancing the feminine and the powerful. More on the JOURNAL ✨ #London #Feminine #PowerDressing #ModernElegance #DarkAesthetic #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🖤 “live” #collage by me featuring Margherita Chiarva’s photos, music: “Only You” by Portishead.

TIMELESSNESS ✨ #DACBE: I might not be a number one #MichaelKors fan, but his latest collection (celebrating the brand’s 40th anniversary) is so great. It’s the old, good Kors of the late 1980s and early 90s, adapted to contemporary times (well, maybe specifically the re-emergence times that will come sooner or later). How do you sum up a four-decade career in 63 looks during a pandemic? In an audienceless show, where you’ve got #NaomiCampbell, Helena Christensen, Carolyn Murphy, and Shalom Harlow vamping down #NewYork’s 45th Street in evening sequins and double-face cashmere. More on the JOURNAL 🖤 #AW21 #EveningWear #DressUp #TimelessStyle #Elegance #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌸 “live” #collage, music: “Walk On By” by Isaac Hayes.

FEEL GOOD 🌶 #DACBE: There’s always irony to what #DemnaGvasalia does, but for his #PreFall2021 collection for #Balenciaga, he embraces garments that make the wearer feel genuinely good. More on the JOURNAL 🫒 #Paris #PedroAlmodovar #FeelGood #AlmodovarColors #WomenOnTheVergeOfANervousBreakdown #Volver #TheHumanVoice #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🍋 “live” #collage by me, music: “No Me Llores Mas” by Marc Ribot & Los Cubanos.

FOREVER TIMELESS 🐎 #DACBE: #Bode’s #AW21 collection amazes with the #NewYork-based label’s elevated signatures: silk button-downs with prints lifted from vintage postcards and handkerchiefs; embroidered camp shirts that are the expert work of Indian artisans; patchworked merino suits, an evolution of #EmilyBode’s quilted jackets; and the most refined knits yet, from a space-dyed pullover to a stunning hand-crocheted cardigan. More on the JOURNAL 🐴 #Timeless #SustainableFashion #Upcycling #Menswear #WildWest #VintageLove #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌞 #collage by me.

ARIA 🫀 #DACBE: #Gucci turns 100 this year, and #AlessandroMichele celebrates that milestone in a very bold and sexy way. In his latest collection, Michele picked up on Gucci’s equestrian codes, giving them a fetishistic spin; he reprised one of #TomFord’s greatest hits, the red velvet tuxedo from autumn-winter 1996; and he “hacked” #DemnaGavasalia’s #Balenciaga. And that’s certainly not it. More on the JOURNAL 👅 #Milan #GucciAria #GucciGang #AllTheFeels #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🫁 “live” #collage by me, music: “Forbidden Love” by Madonna.

DAYDREAM 🦌 #DACBE: #HediSlimane wouldn’t be himself if he wasn’t obsessed with youth – even for a moment. But there was something unexpectedly intriguing about his #Celine vision of lockdown-era teenagers, who are totally fed up with the real world and induldge in fancy, #Disney-like daydreaming. More on the JOURNAL 🦄 #AW21 #ModernPrincess #Crinoline #SadGirl #DayDreaming #DACBECOLLECTIONS ✨ “live” collage by me, music: “Confide in Me” by Kylie Minogue.
