Capturing the coolest kids in the hottest looks at Australia Fashion Week

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , , /

Think of Australian fashion and it’s likely loads of beige linen, beach-ready board shorts, and hippy-ish mini dresses will be conjured up. A quick look at the street style on show at Australian Fashion Week’s Resort 2023 edition last week obliterated those stereotypes, however, and proved there’s far more going on fashion-wise in Sydney’s streets than you’d probably first imagined. Right now, the city’s runways are evolving, as a new gene of young, emerging talent – ​​like Alix Higginswhose front row challenged Chopova Lowena’s when it came to how many people were wearing her designs, and Digthe first First Nations brand to show solo on schedule – rise up.

As is the case when you’re in a world – and frustratingly slow DHL tracking time – away from Europe, brands born in both Australia and Aotearoa-New Zealand were on heavy rotation outside show venues. The bright leather creations of Kiwi bag label Yu Mei were seen slung over the shoulders of editors and models, and Caroline Reznik’s leather pieces were the uniform of Friday night. With so many of the week’s most highly anticipated shows that were both inspired by and featuring a catwalk full of the designers’

Fashion at the Coronation: What the guests wore

By avi maxwel / in , , , /


London

—

Choosing the ‘right’ outfit to wear for any royal event is of utmost importance, and there can be a few moments more historically significant than the coronation of a new monarch.

Much has been made of the departures from tradition for the coronation of King Charles III and this extended to the guest’s dress codes. Gone were the requests for attendees to wear grand robes or ceremonial attire in favor of a more relaxed, pared down look.

Members of the royal family, however, arrived in traditional regalia. The Prince of Wales wore a ceremonial dress uniform of the Welsh guards, while the Princess of Wales looked responding in official robes — worn over an Alexander McQueen ivory silk crepe dress peppered with silver bullion embroidered roses, thistles, daffodils and shamrock motifs symbolizing the different nations of the United Kingdom.

According to CNN royal experts Max Foster and Lauren Moorhouse, Kate was also wearing a pair of drop-pearl earrings set in diamonds, once belonging to Princess Diana, as well as a lavish silver bullion laurel-shaped headpiece by Jess Collett and Alexander McQueen.

The esteemed British designer is a fan favorite of the Wales’. Sarah Burton, the creative director

When King Charles walked Meghan Markle down the aisle at Windsor Castle’s St. George’s Chapel in 2018, all eyes were on the bride. But while the fashion world fawned over her Givenchy gown, fastidious royal followers took note of her future father-in-law’s look too. Next to a royal wedding dress with a five-metre-long embroidered silk train, the King’s gray three-piece suit might have appeared unremarkable, except for one detail. It was 34 years old.

“I’m one of those people who hate throwing anything away,” the future king said in an interview with British Vogue in 2020, adding that he’ll keep wearing that particular morning coat “as long as I can go on getting into it .”

It’s not often that a gray suit makes headlines, but the King’s haberdashery is more than a fashion statement. “Fashion has, for centuries, been at the

Coronation fashion: there’s more to it than meets the eye

By avi maxwel / in , , , /

Love the monarchy or not, they put on a heckuva show. The coronation of King Charles III was a grand display of maximum pomp that was enough to lure many of us out of bed at 5 am to be swept up in the ancient rituals of scepters and stones of destiny, horse choreography, golden carriages and some very sparkly crowns.

Matching the coronation splendor with the public mood in Britain right now — a cost of living crisis paired with grumbling about the relevance of the Royal Family in a modern world — meant that the trickiest part of this first coronation since Elizabeth’s 70 years ago involved ensuring that the fashion messages presented a modernized monarchy.

The Palace walked the line between tradition and modernity in clothing quite successfully. At coronations’ past, the peers of the realm all showed up in their heirloom velvet and ermine coronation robes. This time, only a fraction of the nobles in the land won an invitation — the tickets went instead to ordinary citizens of notable public service — and the toffs were told to leave their coronets and capes in storage. The dress code was formal during the day, also observed
