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.

DOMESTIC GLAM 🏡 #DACBE: Brands and designers throw around the ‘stay-at-home-glam’ term for a year now, but most of the time it just feels forced and like a desperate attempt to sell eveningwear. However, in case of #Ashish‘ brilliant #AW21, this notion of glamour in times of global pandemy is honest and at last makes sense. More on the JOURNAL 🛋 #London #AshishGupta #StayHomeStyle #DomesticLife #LockdownGlam #DressUp #AdvancedStyle #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🎀 “live” #collage by me, music “Assimilation” by Roisin Murphy.

WALKING AMULETS 🏹 #DACBE: #StellaJean is the pioneer of ethical fashion, long before it became the new standard in the fashion industry. This season, she collaborated with Kyrgyz women from Barskoon, creating beautiful garments that are like “walking amulets”.

SOMEBODY IN CALIFORNIA LOVES YOU 🌞 #DACBE: Looking at her #AW21 collection, it’s visible that #RaquelAllegra has been spending most of lockdown in her garden – it’s the attitude, easiness and sun-drenched colours that say it all. More on the JOURNAL 🌺 #California #GardenLove #Gardening #Topanga #MotherNature #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌻 #collage by me.

SOCIALI/S/TE 🦢 #DACBE: Finally, a delightful dash of refinement appears on the Polish fashion scene. Meet #JanFChodorowicz, the womenswear designer and recent graduate of #CentralSaintMartins MA course, and his brilliant SOCIALI/S/TE collection. Chodorowicz’s debut line-up introduces the audience to his two favourite meeting-points: the codes of haute couture and workwear. For the collection, Jan was simultaneously inspired by the glamorous Truman-Capote-kind-of-women, and photographs of working women in socialist Poland – visions of strikingly contrasting femininity that collided at one point in history, when #JackieKennedy and #LeeRadziwill came to #Warsaw in 1970. More on the JOURNAL 🔨 #EmergingDesigner #AW21 #WorkingWomen #SwanLake #WorkwearStyle #LadyLike #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🎹 #collage by me.

COSMIC GODDESS POWER 🪐 #DACBE: Cosmic goddess power hits the Earth – that’s how one might discover #CaseyCadwallader‘s brilliantMugler collection for #SS21, part 2. More on the JOURNAL ✨ #Paris #OutOfThisWorld #OuterSpace #CosmicEnergy #BellaHadid #HunterSchafer #AlekWek #PatiaBorja #DACBECOLLECTIONS ☄️ “live” #collage by me, music: “E.T.” by JOON.

JOYFUL MOTION 🎈 #DACBE: With #FelipeOliveiraBaptista, #Kenzo is finally back on track. Forget ‘Tiger’ sweatshirts and endless logos – Oliveira Baptista wants to position the brand among the serious ready-to-wear brands, like in the #KenzoTakada days. More about the remarkable #AW21 collection on the JOURNAL 🪅 #Paris #Motion #DanceTime #Folklore #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🐡 “live” #collage by me, music Planningtorock soundtrack for Kenzo.

SOMEWHERE 🕳 #Prada #AW21 fashion space collage for @nofilter_space 🪐 @vesma_k_mcquillan also featured it in her “Navigating Politics of The Front Row and Academia: A New Identity of a Fashion Researcher" within Symposium AR@K21: Distorted Identities/ New Dilemmas. ✨ #MiucciaPrada #RafSimons #AMO #RemKoolhaas #Milan #OuterSpace #OutOfThisWorld #FashionSpace 🌝 #collage by me.

My coverage for @nofilter_space is out, featuring my text and collages interpreting the fashion spaces of #AW21 season! 🌹 Thank you @vesma_k_mcquillan for this opportunity 💕 (NOFILTER.SPACE is produced by faculty and students of the #ArchCommLab at Kristiania University College in interaction with external collaborators.) 🪐 #DriesVanNoten #Prada #MiuMiu #Altuzarra #Dior #FashionSpace #Collage #Collages

SILHOUETTES 🌹 #DACBE: #RafSimons‘ latest collections are more straightforward and easier in approach – yet they have that elusive spark that makes the designer’s work so attractive. For #AW21, Simons stated his simple mission: “The collection is about things I love – things I have always loved, that are always there in every collection, in the processes behind it, and the clothes.” More on the JOURNAL 🪶 #Paris #Antwerp #Silhouette #Menswear #Oversized #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🍄 “live” #collage by me, music: “Kill V. Maim” by Grimes.

BALANCED 🪐 #DACBE: #AreaNYC‘s #PiotrekPanszczyk and #BeckettFogg play along their own rules – and it certainly works. The pair presented their second see-now-buy-now ready-to-wear offering, filled with signature glitz, twisted with a pinch of Dada, and photographed by #PaulKooiker. More on the JOURNAL ✨ #SS21 #NewYork #GermanExpressionism #OscarSchlemmer #WorldIsAStage #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🏐 #collage by me.

MONOCHROME SERENITY ☁️ #DACBE: In the #CommeDesGarçons #AW21 fashion show images coming straight from #Tokyo, #ReiKawakubo‘s models looked as if they were walking clouds. “I needed to take one breath on the monochrome“, the designer summed up in her always-enigmatic manner. More on the JOURNAL 🌬 #TokyoFashionWeek #MotherNature #Monochrome #Cloudscape #JulienDYs #IbKamara #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌫 “live” #collage by me, music: “Little Fluffy Clouds” by The Orb.

METAL COUTURE 🪨 #DACBE: Entitled “Metal Couture“, #NoirKeiNinomiya‘s #AW21 collection was all about excitingly unfamiliar silhouettes and extraordinary surfaces. This season, however, the designer takes a more aggressive approach. More on the JOURNAL 🪡 #KeiNinomiya #Tokyo #TokyoFashionWeek #OrganicForms #Pirite #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🧲 #collage by me.

SOOTHING GROOVINESS 🦩 #DACBE: If #TheElderStatesman was a music album, to me, it would be Lana Del Rey’s latest “Chemtrails Over The Country Club”. It’s laid-back, it’s care-free, it’s soothing. #GregChait‘s #California-based company makes the trippiest luxurious knitwear out there, and with every season, he manages to expand his world in a natural, considered way. More about the label’s #PreFall2021 & #AW21 on the JOURNAL 🦜 #Cashmere #LosAngeles #Groovy #TieDye #GeorgiaOKeefe #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌞 #collage by me.

WHITE DRESS 🤍 #DACBE: The topic of bridal-wear might be a dull one for some (like me!), but the moment I’ve discovered #DanielleFrankel, I instantly changed my mind. #DanielleHirsch, the designer, made her mark as a bridal designer, yet her #AW21 collection is a beautifully balanced hybrid between a line-up of wedding gowns and fabulous eveningwear. More on the JOURNAL 🦢 #NewYork #BridalDress #BridalWear #EveningWear #WhiteDress #ChemtrailsOverTheCountryClub #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌪 “live” #collage by me, music: #LanaDelRey’s “White Dress” from #ChemtrailsOverTheCountryClub (2021).
