Oh and the peacock feathered suit was killer. See it, and our other favorite looks from backstage at the presentation, below.
No matter who wears Givenchy, Williams wants them to feel authentic. While he makes pieces for all types of people who do all types of things, Williams wants wearers to feel comfortable, confident and like their true selves in a Givenchy piece.
"There's a deep connection between Givenchy and the actors, musicians and athletes who wear its clothes, and I immediately felt that kind of connection with Alkaline," Williams says. "When something's right, you can just feel it. He inspires me both as an artist and as a human being, so for this campaign I wanted to keep the focus on who he is and the very natural, authentic way he wears clothing, which is exactly my intention as a designer."
Some of us have been waiting for the TELFAR Wallet since the original release of the Shopping Bag in 2014. The billfold wallet with a logo zip has a semi-circular shape designed to fit in any size, shape (or color) of your Telfar Clemens it-bag. Even though the “instant icon” wallet is available in only one size, the must-have accessory will launch in 17 colors including black, silver, and, really, every color of the rainbow.
Focusing on that very first women's show back in 2003 as a key reference, with the idea of high school archetypes or "teenage troupes" the likes of "emo", "geek", "jock" and "femme" as the core theme, Dsquared2 delivered a co-ed Fall/Winter collection that was the most authentic, thoughtful Y2K fantasy any of us could have attempted to dream up during the fervor of our recent Indie Sleaze style resurgence.
The collection toes the line brilliantly between introducing eccentric characterizations that take things too far and creating a collection that understands and articulates high-quality articles of clothing that reference the brand's beloved signature pieces with diverse and deliberate materials and insightful structuring. It left us with a whisper of a laugh, that wasn't at the line but with it. From the ironic graphics to the layering and exposing of lace underwear against the clothing, the rodeo references beside Pac-Man prints — the wit and wearability that permeated every piece offered us a clear and true understanding of early 2000's style from those that were at the helm of its invention.
