It's been another big week in the world of fashion! From New York Fashion Week kicking off – and serving us a healthy dose of street style – to coveting the eclectic style of Helena Bonham-Carter, we've had a lot to read through over the past five days. Yet, we know how easy it is for something truly exciting to slip through the cracks, and thus we are happy to bring you seven of the most exciting fashion moments from the week you may not be across. From silk capsules to crisp spring collections and deadstock finding a new life, these are the seven fashion moments to know this week.
Lucy Folk launches silk collection
Lucy Folk has launched a silk capsule, sitting within its latest collection, Flaura. Celebrating a utopian world overflowing with hidden vibrations, it is an ode to Mother Nature’s spectral palette. Adorn with an embroidered motif by Folk herself, each piece is hand-loomed by artisans in Kolkata, the home of the Sari industry. Each piece takes three days to complete, meaning not only are you wearing an opulent piece of clothing but also a feat of artistry. The collection is available exclusively from September 30 at Lucy Folk boutiques and online.
Jillian Boustred launches spring collection, Fresca
Sydney designer Jillian Boustred has launched her latest collection, titled Fresca. Awash with colour, it features an array of darling midi-dresses in shades of green, pastel pink and blue alongside jumpsuits and shirting options. The collection is an homage to seasonless dressing and silhouettes, inherent to the Jillian Boustred brand, yet still employing playful colour combinations and motifs throughout. The collection is now available to shop online and instore at the brand’s Chippendale boutique.
Bulgari is the subject of a new documentary, Inside The Dream
The first ever film about a High Jeweller will focus on Bulgari, titled Inside the Dream. Set to premiere at Toronto International Film Festival, the film will take audiences behind the scenes, unveiling the process of creating a high jewellery piece from a mere dream to a magnificent reality. Produced by Terminal9 Studios, available on Prime Video and directed by emerging talent Matthieu Menu, the film will follow the footsteps of Lucia Silvestri, Bulgari’s Jewellery Creative Director.
The docufilm will also intertwine the lives of five extraordinary women and longtime friends of the Roman jeweller, such as American actress Zendaya, Italian digital entrepreneur and fashion icon Chiara Ferragni, BLACKPINK singer Lalisa aka LISA, supermodel Lily Aldridge and U.S.-based Indian actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
Levi’s taps athleisure with new Gold Tab collection
Legendary denim brand Levi’s is tapping into athleisure with its Spring/Summer collection, Gold Tab. A vintage-inspired collection with a northern California twist, it is an extension of the casual lifestyle of the brand, blending 1970s aesthetics with contemporary motif. The colour palette mixes earth tones and primary colours, evoking a throwback feel, and features basics including hoodies, t-shirts and sweats, alongside tank tops and leggings.
Saint Laurent launches Winter 22, #YSL46 by Anthony Vaccarello
Saint Laurent has launched its Winter 22 collection, shot by renowned photographer, Juergen Teller. The collection – titled #YSL46 by Anthony Vaccarello – stars models Awar and Freja in crisp black suits and dresses, set against the backdrop of the ocean. It is quintessential Vaccarello Saint Laurent at its best, showcasing the duality of French style with nods to the 1980s of which his work is so reminiscent.
Hagon Workroom launch Spring/Summer 23 collection
