Kim Shui S/S '19

September 14, 2018

Kicking off fashion week might be unnerving for some, but not Kim Shui.

This season, the designer went with puffy sleeves and the delicate Eastern prints that have become a Kim Shui classic. Tight corsets contrasted long, loose sets; cascading wrap shirts in bright orange matched equally fierce dresses in the same color. And of course, the casting was killer. So was the front row. The Clermont Twins and YesJulz watched as a diverse group of models, including Liz Harlan, made their way down the runway in Shui's best ever looks.

Halfway through the presentation, the mood went from sweet and ethereal, to dark and punk. There were acid-washed dresses, crushed velvet and leopard print—a stark contrast from the first half of the collection's soft, muted tones. But despite the wide array of fabrics, colors and styles, the presentation was united Shui's inventive voice.

Courrèges Fall Winter 2025

March 07, 2025

Pulling inspiration from Dan Colen’s 'Moments like This,' Courrèges Fall Winter Collection is filled to the brim with eye-catching silhouettes and eclectic textures. The brand is known for its emphasis on positivity and approaches the runway with the hope of uniting its wearers. For this collection, the event served as a safe space promoting a sense of joy and togetherness for those in attendance.

Classic pieces such as the trapeze mini and the tank top were reworked and invested with a fresh sense of celebration. Bending the classic silhouettes, the ensembles were filled with asymmetry and slanted angels while still managing to maintain a balance between the old and new. Nicolas Di Felice and scenography director Remy Brière collaborated to create an explosion of multicolored confetti as everyday staples were reimagined in a new context.

Natasha Zinko’s AW25 Collection: BOTCHED

March 04, 2025

Natasha Zinko’s AW25 collection, BOTCHED, takes fashion apart and rebuilds it in bold, unexpected ways. Classic pieces are stretched and reshaped into something entirely new. Pinstripe suits mix with corsets, oversized hoodies zip into tight tank tops, and boxer briefs transform into elegant skirts. Nothing is as it seems.

The collection embraces upcycling, using old fabrics to create fresh designs. Clothes are flipped inside out, stacked, and pieced together with unusual details such as extra sleeves and uneven hems. Some outfits are tight in one place and oversized in another, creating a playful contrast.

With BOTCHED, Natascha Zinko challenges traditional fashion rules. The collection reflects a world that feels messy and unpredictable, proving that imperfection can be beautiful.
