Insight on The Future of Fashion

May 16, 2022

There are two big critiques of any art form: "It's not new enough" and "it's too new." There may be no form that endures this dicotomy more than fashion, a form that is both expected to innovate in design while also maintaing functionality. Imagine, then, the task entrusted to a young designer, to both reference the past, anticipate the future, and maintain form all at the same time.

This year’s FIT Future of Fashion showcase was at many points a jaw dropping and electric experience that addressed this task. The clothes and the ambition and experimentation behind them suggest a fearless future in fashion. The spectrum of what is possible and allowed in clothing making was picked apart and put back together in the form of beautiful garments by the crop of graduates. While not all garments attempted to reinvent the wheel, the energy and passion from each of the designers was evident and inspiring. The future of fashion looks bright.

Take a look at some of the looks from this year’s showcase.

GUCCI SS25: Where the Light Finds Us

January 17, 2025

There is a dreamlike limbo between movement and stillness, between light and shadow. This precise yet indefinable space is what GUCCI’s new Spring/Summer 2025 campaign Where the Light Finds Us explores. It tells the story of two souls meeting in a suspended moment, exchanging fragments of emotions and subtle gestures in an interplay of light and shadow, offering a glimpse into the essence of the collection. Challenging the boundaries between simplicity and complexity, the new collection features lightweight fabrics intertwined with structured silhouettes and unexpected touches of color that blur the line between the real and the imaginary. Where the Light Finds Us invites us to inhabit this liminal space: a poetic expression of connection and transformation.
