CAMP-Y 🐬 #DACBE: During the #AustraliaFashionWeek, I always look forward to #JordanDalah’s collections. His #Resort2023 show was ‘camp’ – not in the Susan Sontag way, but in the literal way. Guests arrived to find comfortable camping chairs instead of the expected benches, while the modern ensembles saw Dalah embrace colour and the beauty of the outdoors. The designer possesses the distinct ability to combine Australian optimism, raw materials and fearless innovation with European craftsmanship and distinct elevated aesthetic – a skill which can be attributed to his time at Central Saint Martins. The joyful collection saw Dalah expand on his existing vocabulary of voluminous silhouettes, signature hemlines and avant garde expressionism by returning to his roots with designs that are fit for prêt-à-porter release.

PAST-PRESENT-FUTURE GODDESSES 🪐 #DACBE: It’s been a while since I truly enjoyed a #LouisVuitton collection by #NicolasGhesquière. Finally, something clicked again for me. The #Resort2023 line-up was a powerful ode to goddesses – of the past, present and future. The collection – presented in #LaJolla, California – was a wonderful reminder of how forever-forward this Parisian designer is.

DANS PARIS 🌬 #DACBE: Last week, #HediSlimane has presented his #AW22 collection for #Celine, which he chose to stage in two historical monuments in #Paris: the Hôtel de la Marine and the the Hôtel National des Invalide. Looking at the first half of the collection - entitled “Dans Paris” - you’d be forgiven for thinking that Slimane opted to pare down any notion of extravagance, a tricky feat given the opulent settings. Strolling below the golden ceilings came jeans and everyday wardrobe staples like a cream roll-neck jumper, a jersey zip-up and an oversized grey hoodie so large it extended into a dress. As club sounds pulsated louder throughout the show, as did the clothes, seemingly coming alive with every beat.

REJUVENATING 🎵 #DACBE: Shot in the streets of London on models, the #Valentino #PreFall2022 lookbook images were conceived as a “portrait of a generation that wears clothes not necessarily different from those of 10, 20 years ago, but which are adapted to today’s lifestyle and our real social context,” said #PierpaoloPiccioli.

TAKE HER TO MONTE CARLO 💋 #DACBE: For #Chanel #Resort2023, #VirginieViard recalled many happy moments spent with #KarlLagerfeld in the #MonteCarlo where he maintained an apartment and leased the extraordinary Belle Epoque villa La Vigie. It was on the terraces of this villa that Viard remembered Lagerfeld shooting Linda and Christy in the iconic sequin scuba jackets from his spring 1991 collection. “That was very funny,” she recalled, “I adore La Vigie. At the end I was here every year: for the Bal de la Rose, with Karl, Caroline, Charlotte, for shootings… We would always go to Rampoldi, Karl’s favorite restaurant.” It was those memories of Princess Caroline and her equally beauteous daughter Princess Charlotte that infused the spirit of the collection, as well as a playful take on what else Monte Carlo means to the designer – “the casino, #HelmutNewton’s girls, the car races… we like to play with all the cliches!” More on the JOURNAL 💄 #BlackDress #SummerTime #SoChic #DACBECOLLECTIONS ❣️ #collage by me.

ISLAND OF MISFITS 🧸 #DACBE: #ThomBrowne‘s jaw-dropping #AW22 show added up to the pre-Met-Gala, statement-fashion buzz that’s going on all over #NewYork right now. But Browne’s collection had little to do with Gilded Glamour (the theme of today’s gala), and more with another Metropolitan Museum Of Art’s fashion subject from a couple of years ago: Comme Des Garçons’ Rei Kawakubo. Of course, Thom’s collections are always extraordinary, but this season, the signature gray wool suits went Comme – meaning conceptual, statuesque, big. And this is a major compliment for any contemporary designer. More on the JOURNAL 🎀 #MetGalaBehaviour #FashionMoment #LumpsAndBumps #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🪅 #collage by me.

LA GROTTA AZURRA 🐠 #DACBE: #EmilioPucci is one of these Italian luxury brands that have a rich, idiosyncratic legacy and a full package of well-known style codes, but somehow a number of contemporary designers that took it under their wings in the last couple of years never could put their finger on it. Maybe expect for Peter Dundas, whose ultra-sexy, jet-set nomad vision put Pucci on a very specific shelf of glossy Real-Housewives-kind-of clients. And then, suddenly, the energetic #CamilleMiceli arrived to this kaleidoscope-printed world in 2021. Her debut collection, entitled #LaGrottaAzzurra, is an optimistic start of the new Pucci chapter.

HYPERCOLOR ELEGANCE 🏖 #DACBE: Summer is coming so, so soon! How about a timeless #Prada wardrobe reimagined, in hypercolor? Energetic and kinetic color – joyous, uplifting, free. Emerald, orange, vermillion, yellow – contrast with graphic black and white and soft greys. Motifs are direct – geometric stripes and bold checks, simple and linear. Tactile and precious silks, fine cashmeres, leather and kid mohair are used for relaxed styles expressive of summer – silk pyjamas, full skirts, abbreviated shorts and bra tops. Bodies are streamlined, dynamic, moving freely. Accessories are modern Prada archetypes – the Triangle handbag, baseball caps, bucket hats – recolored, therefore reenergized. Discover the summer capsule on the JOURNAL 🐎 #MiucciaPrada #RafSimons #HypercolorElegance #SS22 #SummerTime #DACBECOLLECTIONS ⛺️ #collage by me.

DANGER IN BEAUTY 🧚🏻‍♀️ #DACBE: It’s sensual and innocent in an almost terrifying way. That’s the #KNWLS look – as per #CharlotteKnowles and #AlexandreArsenault release, #AW22 is equal parts Suspiria and Nine Inch Nails, riffing on that tension of beautiful, scary, corporeal horror. Don’t get the wrong impression, though. Knowles and Arsenault are lovers, not fighters. “We just wanted to make things that are precious to us,” she says. The beauty in danger is their sweet spot – and the cat hats just top it all off nicely.

BALLET-CORE 🩰 #DACBE: Going for an all-pastel colour palette might be lethal. But the #Rodarte sisters manage to keep the saccharine sweetness not that naive in their #AW22 collection. The ultra-feminine line-up is heavily inspired by ballet and ballerinas’ ensembles, and it makes so much sense: #KateMulleavy and #LauraMulleavy created Natalie Portman’s costumes for Darren Aronofsky’s terrific #BlackSwan back in 2010. But right now, there’s nothing evil about the Rodarte Swan Queens. More on the JOURNAL 🎼 #BalletCore #Ballet #Ballerina #MarieLaurencin #LosAngeless #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🎀 #collage by me.
