CLUB, DANCE, PARTY, CLUB ✨ #DACBE: #TomFord really delivered this season! The collection was phenomenal – I would even say it’s one of the best outings of this #NYFW. For #SS22, Ford is ready for the good times to start rolling again.

NEW AGE 🍄 #DACBE: This wasn’t a regular #Rodarte collection. Kate and Laura Mulleavy left behind romantic ruffles and horror vacui ornaments, and resorted towards something lighter, even out-of-this-world ethereal. Over the past 18 months, the Rodarte sisters have made a promise to meet their woman where she is. Their #SS22 collection was a proper declaration of re-emergence, of spiritual glitz, and of reconnecting to nature.

ONCE UPON A TIME 🌜 #DACBE: No one in #NewYork does opera-level drama like #ThomBrowne. At his #SS22 presentation, which was an artistic performance and a fashion spectacle at the same time, the audience could be carried off in awe in so many directions: pegasuses rode penny-farthings, a couple of bachelors haunted a raw wood house, models turned from shrubs into statues… just wow.

EXUBERANT 🌷 #DACBE: This was an exuberant, joyful and extremely uplifting #Batsheva collection. #BatshevaHay’s #SS22 runway show pushed her prairie, girly aesthetic to electric new heights, at some points even camp-y territories. Busy Philipps, Ego Nwodim, #AmyFineCollins, Heidi Gardner, and more #NewYork legends – and Batsheva clients – took turns in cascading frills and sweet dresses. This was one of these #NYFW moments that we all missed during the pandemic seasons. More on the JOURNAL 🌸 #Exuberance #DressingUp #BeBold #SwanLake #ArtNouveau #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🦩 #collage by me.
SANCTUARY 🌞 #DACBE: #ProenzaSchouler radiates with a laid-back, easy-going, summer-ish energy this season. There’s a reason why. #LazaroHernandez and #JackMcCollough made Kauai their “home-office” during a period of pandemic time – it’s their favourite destination that they call their “sanctuary.” The island vibe influenced their new collection, which mixed scuba and surfing motifs, a color palette plucked from nature, and a few handmade leis from Maui with their more urban fare. Backstage after their show, they clarified that Hawaii wasn’t a literal reference, but rather a starting point for the collection’s ambience. Most of all, “they’re joyful clothes to step out in the world again.” More on the JOURNAL ✨ #NewYork #NYFW #SS22 #TheJoyOfDressing #PaulGauguin #SolarPower #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌈 #collage by me, music: “Grow” by Deradoorian.
BLOOMING QUEENS 🌷 #DACBE: Nature. Sunset. Raving. Queens. #CollinaStrada show was a vibrant welcome back to physical fashion shows in #NewYork. #HillaryTaymour described the scene as following: “We’ve got a farm queen, broken skater queen, prom queen, and a frog princess.” The simple message was that after a year of doldrums, we should all have the freedom to dress up as the queens we are. And get closer to #MotherNature. More on the JOURNAL 🍃 #NYFW #ForceOfNature #GoGreen #GoodVibes #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌞 #collage by me, music: “Fallen Fruit” by Lorde.
