Vaquera's Fantasy Leaves No Room for Doubt

March 07, 2022

Vaquera gets encapsulates the feeling of basking in the glory of personal expression. In fact, they know how to turn that notion into high fashion. In their latest Fall/Winter 2022 runway collection, the label’s directors Patric DiCaprio and Bryn Taubensee discovered an exciting balance between creative maturation and youthful frivolity. With puzzling yet profoundly stylish pieces like sci-fi style stretch catsuits layered with frizzy leg warmers, the runway turned into a playground to explore the potential of a fashion world without inhibitions.

In an unexpected move for the New York-based label, Vaquera opted for a Paris Fashion Week presentation this season. While the move may indicate a maturation for DiCaprio and Taubensee’s brand, we remain graced by Vaquera signatures like fantastically proportioned clothing and accessories. Among them are comically sized taffeta scrunchies and oversized cable-knit jumpers that the models could practically swim in. It’s truthfully comforting to see familiar motifs take new shapes within a brand that seems to be on an unstoppable trajectory of provocative innovation.

Han Kjøbenhavn Unveils their Autumn/Winter 2022 Collection

March 06, 2022

Danish fashion house Han Kjøbenhavn debuted its first ready-to-wear women’s pret-á-portier during Milan Fashion Week. Under the direction of founder and artistic director Jannik Wikkelsø Davidsen, the brand showcased "Sculping Darkness"— a Fall/Winter collection exploring the concept of darkness as a source of inspiration and emotion. Using a simple color palette of black, cream, and hot pink, this creative vision is displayed through the collection's bold contrasts, statement fabrics, and sleek design combined with voluminous silhouettes.

The line represents a new direction for the brand; after being a continuing label on the men's calendar for two years, the fashion label is ready to expand and shift its focus towards womenswear.

“It has always been our aim to present our collections at the highest level. Showcasing our pret-á-portier women’s collection in Milan is something that I have been looking forward to for quite a while. We have developed a lot and I feel we are in a good place artistically, aesthetically, and from a craftsmanship point of view” Davidsen said in a statement.
