What to Expect at Milan Men’s Week: Versace, Moschino Return, and JW Anderson Debuts

By Keisha P. Crabtree 11 hours ago

The decision to ring-fence June 21 as a digital only-day—one especially notable participant here is Charles Jeffrey Loverboy—is, Capasa added, “about optimizing everyone’s time. We discovered that mixing digital presentations around physical shows didn’t work: one would always distract from the other. And to keep Tuesday digital—where you can attend from anywhere—allows people to travel to Paris for the first shows there that night.”

As for what hosting JW Anderson in Milan—even if fleetingly—as well as the other new international incomers says about the city’s broadening allure, he commented: “Here it is always busy for fashion. There are around 800 showrooms representing 3,000 brands, selling for seven months in the year, so this is a great place to be as a brand for distribution. And I think the fashion week is becoming more appealing internationally as a moment that combines established brands with a lot of

Julia Fox Goes Grocery Shopping in Underwear

By Keisha P. Crabtree 16 hours ago

Julia Fox isn’t afraid of freezer burn. On May 15, Fox was spotted grocery shopping in Los Angeles, but instead of sweatpants and a messy bun, the model stepped through the automatic doors in a set of matching lingerie. As she ran her errand, Fox was dressed in a black bra with white elastic and a matching pair of underwear layered under a denim blazer. She styled the look with her signature jean purse, a pair of ruched denim boots, and black sunglasses.

As photos of Fox’s unconventional grocery-shopping look circulated online, fans were quick to express their disbelief over the risqué ensemble. “Oh sure, when Julia Fox goes grocery shopping in her underwear, she’s a fashion icon. But when I do it, I’m ‘no longer welcome in Whole Foods,'” one person tweeted on Monday.

“I just think that if it’s socially acceptable at the beach it should be the

It’s time men were part of the fast fashion conversation

One of the things I get asked most about from my time on BBC One’s fabulous The Great British Sewing Bee last year, is the denim dress I fashioned from recycled old jeans in Episode Six. In the interest of sustainability, fans of the show have reached out to me and shared that it inspired them to dig out their old clothes (often from their husband’s wardrobes), and have a go at recycling themselves.

But I have noticed a pattern – the vast majority are women. While we are all aware by now of the need to wean ourselves off our fast fashion addiction, the emphasis is often on making women’s wardrobes more sustainable.

Refashioning and upcycling are a wonderful by-product of being able to sew, but I worry that the cultural perceptions around sewing still put men off.

All too often, traditionally “feminine” creative aspirations that boys

Best Plus Size Clothing 2022

By Keisha P. Crabtree 2 days ago

After decades of being underrepresented in fashion, the plus-size apparel market is thriving; according to Statista, it’s worth an estimated $24 billion and growing at a rapid pace. With this explosion of demand comes more options, obviously, which means shopping for plus-size fashion is no longer confined to a handful of speciality stores or limited sections within larger department stores. Instead, everyone from retail giants like Nike to fashion-forward labels like Reformation have embraced more inclusive sizing and released freshly imagined collections that speak to a more diverse audience. The issue now is not so much a lack of options, but finding the very best places to shop for plus-size clothing in what’s become a very crowded market.

While everyone will have a different opinion
