Modest Fashion Is the Star At 2024 Cannes Film Festival

Covered-up dressing is a tool for playfulness, choice and creativity — not a hindrance to self-expression.

Fashion is always functioning as a statement. What you choose to put on your body, whether it’s intentional or not, sends a message to the outside world about who you are. But for women who adhere to modest fashion — a style often shrouded by reductive associations of restraint — these clothing connotations are more complicated. On the Cannes 2024 red carpet, Somali-born star Rawdah Mohamed is using her covered-up looks to push the conversation forward.

Last year, the model went viral after sporting Robert Wun’s scorched bride couture creation on the Cannes 2023 red carpet. The macabre moment was made even more memorable with her hijab peaking through the burnt veil. And this year, with the help of stylist Amar Faiz, her risk-taking has reached new heights. Throughout the celeb-crowded film festival, Mohamed has stood out in two exquisite ensembles that complement her conservative garb.

How To Wear The Oversized Clothes – Baggy Fashion For Guys

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , /

There was a time when wearing clothes so baggy they needed a staple gun to stay on was less of style move, more your mum making sure you could make it through puberty in the same school blazer.

But if you graduated any time in the last 15 years, chances are you grew up to enjoy clothes that were designed slim and flattering – clothes that didn’t just hang on your shoulders. For the majority of the 21st century, menswear has been dominated by skinny cuts.

Under the influence of Hedi Slimane at Dior Homme and later Saint Laurent, men’s wardrobes were shrink-wrapped around the mid-2000s. It was all muscle shirts, slimline tailoring and indie bands in skinny-fit everything. But in recent years, the fashion pendulum had swung back.

It was partly a reaction to what came before, but the oversized trend also went hand-in-hand with the rise of hip-hop fashion and athleisure into the mainstream. Kanye West’s longline tees and chunky hoodies were one part, the billowing suits of Kim Jones, Demna Gvasalia, Patrick Grant and Virgil Abloh another.

Compared with spray-on jeans and nip-and-tuck tailoring, this is comfort as fashion. Wide-leg trousers, slouchy blazers, boxy tees and blanket

Bob Marley’s Style: Exploring His Most Iconic Looks

By avi maxwel / in , , , , /

From the man who gave us the anthemic “Redemption Song,” it’s time to redeem him from all the blurs of head-shop posters, T-shirts, and weed references in which we lost the real Bob Marley and look back at the iconic and truly authentic fashion style the King of Reggae has blessed us with. 

Understanding why he emerged as an iconic fashion figure shows us how Bob Marley’s affordable and effortlessly cool style was more than just a fashion choice but a reflection of his lifestyle and political and spiritual beliefs. His style deeply resonated with and empowered generations worldwide, seamlessly blending aesthetic appeal with profound cultural significance.

Bob Marley passed away over 40 years and is considered one of the most influential and best-selling artists ever. A movie about him seems long overdue. Bob Marley: One Love hit theaters this February 14 to great critical acclaim, and the biopic chronicles the time when Bob Marley survived an assassination attempt in Jamaica, leading to his exile in London. During this period, he produced his albums Exodus and Kaya, released in 1977 and 1978, respectively.
