RAVE ENERGY 🪐 #DACBE: It takes time for a designer (even a very renowned one) to find his voice again. #RiccardoTisci‘s first seasons at #Burberry felt overdone and unedited. But lately, starting from his spring-summer 2021 collection, it seems he finally feels confident with his role at the British house and knows what his vision for Burberry really is. The #SS22 line-up is quintessentially Tisci: dark, sensual and sharp. More on the JOURNAL ☄️ #London #Menswear #ManFashion #IbKamara #AwengChuol #Saturn #CosmicEnergy #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌕 #collage by me.

HAUTE FETISH COUTURE ✨ #DACBE: After a two season hiatus, #RichardQuinn came back yesterday, and pulled off a mega-production collection, with a sort of badass Cruella energy. The #AW21 line-up was released through a 25 minute long video fairy-tale, “an ode to Hollywood Technicolour”, full of haute fetish couture. More on the JOURNAL 🌹 #London #BallDress #GoOut #Couture #GoldenHour #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌟 #collage by me.

ACCELERATING 🚀 #DACBE: #NicolasDiFelice is giving his #Courrèges a much-need item-y spin, turning out relatable, identifiable - and sexy - clothes. More about men’s #SS22 and women’s #Resort2022 on the JOURNAL 🔥 #Paris #PFW #SpaceAge #Menswear #ManFashion #DACBECOLLECTIONS 💥 “live” #collage by me, music: “...And The Rain” by John Maus.

BE WHO YOU ARE 🍓 #DACBE: The #JWAnderson men’s #SS22 (and women’s #Resort2022) look-book was shot by #JuergenTeller, who perfectly captured what’s on #JonathanAnderson‘ mind this season. “Caught in the moment, when sexuality awakens. There is palpable ambiguity, and provocative wrongness, to his dressing choices“, Anderson described the guy he pictures in this playful, bold offering.

Happy Fathers Day ❣️#FathersDay #Santorini #SantoriniGreece

AN INNOCENCE 🧽 #DACBE: For the first time, #MiucciaPrada and #RafSimons let some warmth and a sense of spontainety to their creative dialogue. The #Prada man for #SS22 appears to be a slightly naive beach-boy, who wears his yellow windcheater (nothing underneath!) and matching bucket-hat all day long. Which I instantly love, of course. More on the JOURNAL 🍋 #Milan #BucketHat #WindCheater #YellowEverything #Menswear #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌞 “live” #collage by me, music: “Observatory Crest” by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band.

BOLD, SASSY, HOT 💥 #DACBE: It’s no longer just #HotGirlSummer season. Now, it’s Hot #Blumarine Girl Summer. #NicolaBrognano is entering his third season at #Blumarine, and his brand revamp (together with #LottaVolkova’s phenomenal styling help) keeps on getting hotter, sassier, bolder and certainly more desirable. More about #Resort2022 on the JOURNAL 🦋 #Milan #2000s #ThinkPink #ItsHot #CargoPants #DACBECOLLECTIONS 💗 “live” #collage by me, music: “Chun Swae” by Nicki Minaj.

JUBILANCE 🚀 #DACBE: Sci-fi, the outer space and the time-collapsing fashion - this is #NicolasGhesquiere’s jubilant take for #LouisVuitton #Resort2022. More on the JOURNAL ⛱ #Paris #SciFi #OuterSpace #ReEmergence #BeBold #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🎡 #collage by me.

Summer comes, winter goes 🌞 #SummerTime #Horses #Blooming #BackToLife #LoveInTheAir

LAID-BACK 🧊 #DACBE: While nearly every single designer is musing on re-emerging and dressing up again as more and more people get vaccinated, the #ProenzaSchouler boys rather stay realistic. More about their #Resort2022 collection on the JOURNAL 🪁 #NewYork #LazaroHernandez #JackMcCollough #IntoTheBlue #SummerBummer #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌞 #collage by me.

FORCE OF NATURE 🌬 #DACBE: As usual, sustainability is a priority for #GabrielaHearst. Her nitty-gritty #Resort2022 line-up is beautifully close to nature - it has cork that can biodegrade, colourful agates in the necklines of dresses, deadstock denim that no longer does harm to the environment and the finest macramé detailing coming from New York-based artisans. Hearst is a force of nature. More on the JOURNAL 🌞 #NewYork #SustainableFashion #Sustainability #Macrame #HerbertList #ForceOfNature #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌪 #collage by me.

SOLAR POWER 🌞 #DACBE: #Etro‘s #Resort2022 has that solar power (yes, I love the new Lorde song). If you’re looking for the summer-perfect wardrobe for post-confinement life full of sunny adventures with friends, breezy beach walks and getting in the groove at concert festivals, this collection is it. More on the JOURNAL 💛 #Milan #VeronicaEtro #SolarPower #Crotchet #SummerTime #DACBECOLLECTIONS 📒 “live” #collage by me, music: “Solar Power” by Lorde.

NEW YORKERS 🍎 #DACBE: #Batsheva‘s #Resort2022 is a love letter to New York - all of it photographed on and worn spontaneously by its beautiful locals. More on the JOURNAL 🗽 #BatshevaHay #BatshevaDress #LadyLike #SummerTime #ReEmergence #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🍏 #collage by me.

CELEBRATION 🌞 #DACBE: #DanielLee and his #BottegaVeneta are definitely in a good mood, and look forward to the the joyful re-emergence that might finally arrive this summer-slash-autumn. The #PreFall2021 outing that (Instagram-less) brand calls “Wardrobe 02” is a bold line-up of essentials sprinkled with a few of the so-odd-it’s-good whimsies that will soon become collector’s items. More on the JOURNAL ✨ #Milan #NewBottega #VenetiaScott #RobertoBolle #AnokYai #ReEmergence #Celebration #TimeToParty #LooseYourself #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🦜 #collage by me.

FAKE IS REAL 🍄 #DACBE: #Balenciaga‘s #DemnaGvasalia wouldn’t be Demna Gvasalia if he didn’t sprinkle a pinch of irony to his fashion. “It’s a deep fake of a fashion show,” declared the designer ahead of the launch of the ultra-high-tech video for his #SS22 “Clones” collection. “What we see online is not what it is. What’s real and what’s fake?” More on the JOURNAL 🩸 #Paris #ElizaDouglas #FakeReality #WhatsReal #BallDress #TwistedWonderland #DACBECOLLECTIONS 💊 “live” #collage by me, music: “La Vie En Rose” performed by Grace Jones.

SUSTAINABLE THINKING 🌞 #DACBE: #GabrielaHearst delves deeper into the sustainable achievements of her #Chloé residency, and the results are beautiful. Although I was not entirely in love with Hearst’s debut collection presented back in spring, her next steps at the Parisian maison are very promising. First, the direction of the brand’s Instagram, which is all about #ZoëGhertner’s raw, yet sensual photos of nature and female bodies – no aggressive product placement, no logo rebrandings, just idyllic visuals featuring poetic musings in the captions. Second, the #Resort2022 line-up, which is a clearer image of what Hearst’s vision for the brand really is. “We’re here on a mission,” she told Vogue, emphasising the measures the house is taking to make its collections sustainable.

So... this is what arrived to my mailbox today 📮 Super thrilled to share the @prada SS21 DIALOGUES (red) book featuring the BIG conversation between #MiucciaPrada, #RafSimons and the global audience. Each question is actual food for thought, and one of my answers is featured on the pages of this extraordinary concept. 📌 The #Prada #SS21 collection is a contemporary fashion history moment, and receiving this beautiful portfolio (under the creative direction of @ferdinandoverderi) is so, so, so major for me.

No idea why good things have to come to an end... 🧿 #Santorini #Cyclades #IslandLife #HolidayMode #IntoTheBlue #GoodDays #GreekHoliday
