My new text for @nofilter_space on #SS22 fashion spaces 🤍 “The spring-summer 2022 season appeared to be an intriguing outlet for exercising the medium of a fashion space in a time of a nearly-there post-lockdown reality. Compared to the first year of the global pandemic, where the rise of tedious fashion films and plain look-books seemed to have no end, this time around (we speak of a period of fashion shows spanning from September to November 2021) one must admit that the variety of exciting ideas for presenting fashion in various spaces – suitable for both the physical and digital experience – is satisfying. Five key concepts of executing a fashion show have intertwined throughout the season, from the actual streets of Paris to the neon-lit Hollywood Boulevard. And even further – beyond the palpable realms.” ♟ Thank you so much @vesma_k_mcquillan for letting me contribute to NoFilter.Space once again! 💌 #FashionSpace #NoFilterSpace #Marni #Balenciaga #Prada #BottegaVeneta #Valentino #Collage 🎳 all collages by me.

Good soup. Obsessed with this moment from “Spencer”. 🦪 #Spencer #PabloLarrain #HauteFood #PearlNecklace

FREE SPIRIT 🐎 #DACBE: When you think of #Etro, you’ve got an instant image in your head: a boheme free-spirit, wearing layers of paisley-printed chiffon and embroidered suede. She’s a global citizen, but as well quintessentially Italian. Looking at the #PreFall2022 collection, which oozes with that distinct Etro DNA, the brand’s new investor (LVMH-backed private equity giant L Catterton) is certainly into embracing what the brand stands for.

November. Trying to find colour in all that greyness. 🎯 #ColourPalette #SweetThings

Utterly shocking and sad news 💔 #VirgilAbloh 🕊

MASKED & SUITED 👔 #DACBE: #Vetements has been struggling with keeping its momentum for a few seasons now, and some even say it officially started to “flop”. But the #AW22 look-book has some pretty good clothes that make you think of the brand as a place for great tailoring rather than sweatshirts and viral moments. Indeed, the collection focuses on a more luxurious look – even though it kind of contradicts Vetements’ original memo. More on the JOURNAL 💋 #GuramGvasalia #RedVelvet #Tailoring #MaskUp #DACBECOLLECTIONS 💄 #collage by me, featuring #Madonna by #StevenMeisel from the SEX book (big shoutout to @zuzannawagner for sharing!).

PARADISE 🌹 #DACBE: #HouseOfAama’s mother-daughter duo #RebeccaHenry and #AkuaShabaka describe their vision as “folkways, Black experience, timeless garments.” Their collections merge spirituality, craft, and pragmatism with signatures ranging from corduroy suits to soft pussy-bow blouses and Victorian dresses. But Henry and Shabaka aren’t just in it for the clothes; they’re as passionate about storytelling and sharing knowledge, particularly about the lesser-known histories of Black people in America. For #SS22, the designers recalled the beach towns that African Americans established in the early 1900s. Built along Midwest lakes and California coasts, the resorts were a joyful respite at a time when most beaches were not yet desegregated.

Happy Birthday Dad ❤️ #ScorpioSeason

AIR FLOWER 🌬 #DACBE: I planned to write about #SusanFang‘s enchanting #SS22 collection last week, but then my Mac’s hard drive went dead… luckily, it all ended well. Fang is a highly emotional designer in tune with the tenor of our times. Shown on a lightly misting runway in #Shanghai back in October, the collection took texture to extreme and radical new places: she’s created a new material technique of folding tulle she calls “air flower” inspired by broken flowers and sliced fruits that repeats across the body in open-weave, netlike dresses, tightly latticed minis, and explosive, ombré poufs. The pieces are instantly appealing in both a visual way and in a sensory one, thoughtful to the bodies inside them and the observers taking them in.

Autumn dispatch 🌞

International #TildaSwinton day. 🌞 Which Tilda are you today? 💛

HOLLYWOOD ❤️‍🔥 #DACBE: #AlessandroMichele‘s latest #Gucci adventures are just beyond words. Going for extreme glamour after nearly two years of lockdown style is the best thing one can come up with for #SS22. But Michele pushed the envelope in festive dressing even further. Gucci’s name has long been linked with #Hollywood, long before the upcoming “#HouseOfGucci” film starring Lady Gaga, and its connection with the movies was everywhere you looked at Alessandro Michele’s fab fashion show.

SAUNDERS STUDIO 🦎 #DACBE: After closing his London-based fashion brand a couple of years ago, #JonathanSaunders, the acclaimed Scottish designer, had the time to rethink how the industry works and whether he still wants to play along its rules. Now based in Brooklyn, Saunders focuses on his other big passion – design. #SaundersStudio was founded in 2019 with the objective of creating a brand that blurred lines between genres of design, with an emphasis on color, innovative materials and a graphic sensibility. Of course, there is also the incredible, fluffy-like-marshmallow knitwear – something I always adored the most in his eponymous fashion label days. All @saundersstudio sweaters are knitted in #NewYork from chunky merino yarns, occasionally set with contrasting tasselled patch pockets.

EXTRAORDINARY DAYWEAR 💚 #DACBE: Lately, #PierpaoloPiccioli‘s direction at #Valentino is towards creating clothes that celebrate life. That’s his mission for #Resort2022 as well. “I wanted to make what is ordinary more imaginative and fantastical,” Piccioli said. “This is just extra-ordinary daywear.” More on the JOURNAL 🦢 #JoyOfDressing #CelebrateLife #Extraordinary #BallGown #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🧡 #collage by me.

OH, SO HOT ❤️‍🔥 #DACBE: It’s getting sultry hot in here! #CaseyCadwallader, the young American designer, has reignited the #Mugler flame since his arrival at the label in 2018 by adapting the brand’s curvy, body-con aesthetic for the athleisure generation. Discover his fabulous #AW21 collection on the JOURNAL 🔥 #Paris #BellaHadid #AmberValletta #JillKortleve #ThierryMugler #BodyCon #WildSide #DACBECOLLECTIONS ☄️ #collage by me, music: “Wild Side” by Normani (feat. Cardi B).

EPHEMERAL 🔗 #DACBE: “For this collection, black is expressed through shadows,” said #KeiNinomiya in his #SS22 notes. “I wanted to express the ephemeral strength and beauty of things that are present around us although we cannot see them clearly.” More about the collection on the JOURNAL 🖇 #NoirKeiNinomiya #Tokyo #Ephemeral #OrganicBeauty #MushroomSeason #DACBECOLLECTIONS 📎 #collage by me, music: “Another Day” by Air.

DETROIT 👄 #DACBE: Given his choice of venue - #Detroit’s Michigan-Theatre-turned-into-parking-garage - #DanielLee said he asked himself, “What’s American?” It was definitely the sportiest #BottegaVeneta collection he’s shown so far, with tennis whites, dark-rinse jean jackets and skirts, and tracksuits engineered in a crosshatch check knit meant to imitate the house signature intrecciato motif. The utilitarian aesthetic, however, had a sexy twist. More about the SS22 collection - or rather #Salon03 - on the JOURNAL 💄 #NewBottega #LourdesLeon #KissKiss #Americana #DACBECOLLECTIONS 💥 #collage by me, music: “Interlude - Trio” by Lana Del Rey.

SIRENS 🧜🏻‍♀️ #DACBE: #DiPetsa’s vision of contemporary sirens and aquatic goddesses has taken over #Paris. #DimitraPetsa’s signature eveningwear is a result of her unique wet-looking draping process described as “the body emerging from something” and as a method of “accentuating the naked body, not covering it up”. More about the designer’s elusive #SS22 collection on the JOURNAL 💧 #Mermaid #AquaticLife #WetLook #LandArt #RobertSmithson #DACBECOLLECTIONS 💦 #collage by me.

CHIC ADAPTABILITY 🎞 #DACBE: This is one of these #TheRow collections that are just… perfect. And extremely relevant. #AshleyOlsen and #MaryKateOlsen have never been the type to discuss the deeper meaning of their collections, and they’re not about to start now, but the opening look of their #PreFall2022 offering definitely meets the turbulence of our current moment. It’s a grain de poudre jacket worn backwards, its single button fastened mid-spine and its lapels framing the shoulder blades. “Adaptability” is definitely one of their running themes here. More on the JOURNAL 🎙 #NewYork #OlsenTwins #OlsenSisters #OlsenStyle #SoftMinimalism #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🛎 #collage by me featuring #JanuszKorpal’s photos of New York, music: “Everything Happens To Me” by Chet Baker.
