ELEVATED CLASSICS ✨ #DACBE: Although the collection felt a mild first impression, there are good moments in #VictoriaBeckham‘s #SS22 line-up. And it was inspired by Victoria’s husband, David. During the press day of the collection, #DavidBeckham emerged in a pale blue chambray shirt, the kind his wife had referenced in her collection because he wears them on their European holidays and she likes to steal them from his hotel wardrobe. More on the JOURNAL 🐚 #London #LFW #Timeless #EveningDress #DACBECOLLECTIONS 💫 #collage by me.

NIGH-TIME ❤️ #DACBE: Spoiler alert: #SimoneRocha‘s phenomenal #SS22 line-up is my favourite collection of this

TRANSFIXING 💚 #DACBE: #Roksanda‘s #SS22 collection is a release of pure endorphin! Magnificent colour palette, dramatic silhouettes, passionate gestures. A beautiful chaos. More on the JOURNAL 🌷 #RoksandaIlincic #London #LFW #Dramatic #Silhouette #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🍀 #collage by me, music: “Wham Rap!” by Wham!.

PRECIOUS & HUMBLE ⛳️ #DACBE: #RichardMalone‘s #SS22 garments, made in part using fragments of materials, including scrap leather provided by #Mulberry, were presented among Raphael cartoons at the Victoria & Albert Museum in #London. The setting of his show, the designer noted, “really heightened the fact that a lot of fashion is imitation, or it isn’t real life.” But that’s a dichotomy that also plays out in his own work: “There’s one side of what I do that’s quite theatrical and abstract, but then there’s also the real women that buy clothes from me, and men, and they’re such two different conversations,” he observed. “There is more than one truth in everything”.

BLOOMING GARDEN 💐 #DACBE: #Erdem’s 15th-anniversary collection – and first runway show since the pandemic – captured best the brand’s essence: dramatic fashion fit for every day life. More about #ErdemMoralioglu’s blooming #SS22 on the JOURNAL 🌺 #London #LFW #SecretGarden #Bloomsbury #MotherNature #Blooming #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌸 #collage by me.

BE MY BABY 👶🏻 #DACBE: Being pregnant made #MollyGoddard “think about baby clothes” for the #SS22 season. Wide-leg jeans, Aran knit cardigans, smocks to layer over track pants and ballet flats - it’s time to release your inner child! More on the JOURNAL 🍼 #LFW #London #InnerChild #BabyClothes #Tulle #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🎂 #collage by me, music: “What The World Needs Now Is Love” by Jackie DeShannon.

THAT’S HOT 💥 #DACBE: Hot Girl Summer all year long – that’s the key message from the first day of #LFW. #NensiDojaka is one of the freshest forces in womenswear for a long time to emerge from London. Her first solo runway collection delivered phenomenal mini-dresses, draped tops and super-fitted pants that dress the female body like no other. More on the JOURNAL 🌸 #London #JeanCampbell #HotGirlSummer #MiniDress #DACBECOLLECTIONS 💓 #collage by me.

NEW YORK 🗽 #DACBE: #Khaite’s chic #SS22 was something of a metaphor for #NewYork’s resilience and regeneration, and echoed a collection designed for the equally resilient New York woman. More on the JOURNAL 🌙 #NYFW #GigiHadid #NewYorkStateOfMind #EdwardSteichen #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌼 #collage by me.

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. More on the JOURNAL 🌹 #NewYork #PartyTime #NightOut #Clubbing #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🪐 #collage by me, music: “Bad Girls” by Donna Summer.

RITUALS 💚 #DACBE: #Vaquera is growing up, but it keeps on being true to its core identity of one of #NewYork’s most daring and intriguing brands. Where the label had once used real trash bags and duct tape as textile stand-ins, it is now using specially developed fabrics. #BrynTaubensee and #PatricDiCaprio said their overall #SS22 mood was swayed by notions of “luck and superstition and trying to take control of a situation that’s out of control – the rituals you can do to make yourself feel powerful”. More on the JOURNAL 🦢 #NYFW #SwanLake #DIY #DACBECOLLECTIONS 👒 #collage by me.

SUBVERTED REALITY 🎭 #DACBE: #CarlyMark‘s #SS22 collection for #PUPPETSandPUPPETS indulged in a surreal spookiness – to a level-headed extent. More on the JOURNAL 🪡 #NYFW #NewYork #KazimirMalevich #SubvertedReality #Geometry #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🧶 #collage by me.

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. More on the JOURNAL 🪐 #NYFW #NewYork #KateMulleavy #LauraMulleavy #OutOfThisWorld #NewAge #DACBECOLLECTIONS ✨ #collage by me, music: “Follow Me” by Amanda Lear.

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. More on the JOURNAL 🌻 #NYFW #Drama #GenderFluid #AmericanFashion #MetInAmerica #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌝 #collage by me, music: “Suite bergamasque” by Claude Debussy and Alain Planès.

FEEL FREE 🌿 #DACBE: What #EckhausLatta sent out this season was one of their most concise and quintessential collections ever. “It’s about feeling more free,” said #MikeEckhaus and #ZoeLatta. “Really feeling yourself, coming out of the past year-and-a-half and wanting to feel sexy and confident and free.” More on the JOURNAL 🪴 #NYFW #NewYork #SS22 #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🌱 #collage by me.

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.

SUN BABE ☀️ #DACBE: Seashell bras and slinky, ab-revealing dresses - that’s summer according to #Bevza. This collection is for all the sun, sea and sand babes out there, ready to spend their time at the beach all day, all night. More on the JOURNAL 🦋 #NYFW #NewYork #SvitlanaBevza #SummerForever #SolarPower #SS22 #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🐠 #collage by me.

NATURE IS POWER 🌼 #DACBE: While #GabrielaHearst‘s organically beautiful vision at Chloé gradually starts to thrive in Paris, back home in #NewYork, she does what she does best. On her #SS22, the designer said, “I like to make sure that what we do is good for more people than just us. Being able to create beautiful pieces that are desirable and at the same time that empower others is probably one of the most satisfying personal experiences.” More on the JOURNAL 🌸 #NYFW #SustainableFashion #Knitwear #TieDye #MotherNature #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.

FUNCTIONAL LIGHTNESS 💚 #DACBE: #SS22 was a historic moment for #PeterDo’s brand. The #NewYork-based designer gave a hand-written note to each and every one of his guests. In the letter, he likened designing his new collection – the first he’s showing on the runway – to making Pho with his dad as a teen. Do father and son were Vietnamese immigrants in Philadelphia, and cooking the traditional soup was a weekend bonding exercise. “A good Pho is reduced and edited, to an essence” he wrote. “It is comforting and it feels like home… welcome to our home.” More on the JOURNAL 🧊 #NYFW #MaggieMaurer #FeminineMinimalism #Tailoring #DACBECOLLECTIONS 🤍 #collage by me.

THE MNZ COOL 🌞 #DACBE: #MaryamNassirZadeh is the queen of contemporary #NewYork cool – there I said it. Her clothes – recently also for men – are the perfect balance of odd and classic, and the way they are presented is beautifully inclusive and inspiring. Her #SS22 collection was presented at the brand’s newly reopened store. Surprisingly, it also marked her first show in the space; she described it as a homecoming. “It was really important for me to have the show at the store, to celebrate that it’s still alive and celebrate the community that has supported us since the beginning,” she said.
