The Fenty empire is expanding but we’re not talking business — we’re talking baby! Rihanna is expecting her first child with partner A$AP Rocky, and she just announced it in the most fashionably Rihanna way possible. We’re talking straight up vintage Chanel, a blinged out belly, and street style photos to prove it. After months (and years, to be honest) of pregnancy gossip circulating, the question of “Is she or isn’t she?” was finally settled when celebrity fashion photographer, Diggzy, shut rumours all the way down with an Instagram photo of Riri baring her baby belly captioned “SHE IS!”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Miles Diggs (@diggzy) As the couple took to the streets of New York City to make their debut as soon-to-be parents, Diggzy captured the moment in a series of on-brand street style photos. The expecting mother looked like an ethereal beauty in a long vintage Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld pink silk puffe...

Intense, captivating visuals are arguably what Euphoria does best. And costume designer Heidi Bivens brings that creative energy to the wardrobe department, where clothing is symbolic of character development . Case in point: Jules Vaughn. Played by Hunter Schafer, Jules has been a pillar of the show’s impeccable fashion reputation since it premiered in 2019. With an eye for visual art, the character’s outfits embody her natural creativity. As the series progresses, Jules continues to examine the ways in which her self-expression connects with her transness, womanhood and her own body. And in season two , her changing style tells a story. PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF EDDY CHEN/HBO The latest Euphoria episode opened with an artistic ode to fan-favourite on-screen couple, Jules and Rue (Zendaya). In what is perhaps the most beautiful scene of the entire series, we see a creative montage of the couple recreating influential pop-culture references, starting with Jules as Venus in “The ...

Hugo Boss undertakes a rebrand Photography courtesy of Hugo Boss Hugo Boss is ushering in a new era. Centered on a more playful and casual aesthetic while still nodding to the brand’s core code of dressing excellence, both of its pillars — Boss and Hugo — have set out to focus on a younger and more global demographic. All the proof is in its new, star-studded Hugo Boss rebrand campaign, which includes Joan Smalls, Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Future, Lee Min-ho, (probably the funniest) TikTok star Khaby Lame and athletes Anthony Joshua, Matteo Berrettini and Alica Schmidt.

Viral moments are fashion’s most coveted currency (after, you know, actual currency). By now, designers understand that most of us consume fashion week content from our social media feeds, and that in order to cut through the digital clutter, you have to give the people something to talk about. And for Spring 2022 couture week, the conversation went in many different directions — from Chanel’s equine model to Schiaparelli’s gold-headed handbag and Viktor & Rolf’s Nosferatu -inspired wear. Across all collections, this season’s haute couture found itself at the intersection of levity and austerity with a hint of futurism. See for yourself with our roundup of the most viral runway moments of couture week 2022. Azzaro: The continued rise of couture for men Photography courtesy of Azzaro Thanks to the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Raf Simons, Givenchy, and now Azzaro, men have finally been included in the couture conversation. In fact, one could argue that they have become the mos...

“I want shoppers to get asked where they got their sweaters,” writes South van der Lee, president and designer of GOGO, over email. “But I also hope they feel like they are getting a big hug.” Such is the ethos behind the Calgary-based brand that has become a social media darling. Known for pairing millennial-esque colours and graphics with luxury wool and hand-crafted designs, the Canadian label was first launched in the late seventies by van der Lee’s mother in Alberta. In 2010, South took over and temporarily moved the operation to Toronto. “TO was very welcoming to new designers,” she shares. “I was, however, raised in the mountains and love to ski, so it was difficult not having access to the Rocky Mountains. I decided to move back out West after six years. Now I can hike and ski all the time, and the mountains are the foundation of the GOGO brand. That’s where my inspiration comes from.” Below, FASHION spoke to van der Lee about her love for Western Canada, cozy knitwear’s ...

I think I speak for all of us Canadians who are currently bundled up in warm winter-proof layers when I say it would be a — the? — dream to saunter down the streets of Paris enveloped by the magic of couture week. Every year, it’s those very streets where you’ll find the best off-runway style inspiration (I mean, we love a hunchback moment, but I wouldn’t exactly wear Nosferatu -style ear-high shoulder pads to Sunday brunch). Outside the city’s venues, guests, models and fashion’s top brass served some seriously creative street style for Spring 2022 couture week. Forget your model-off-duty neutrals and say hello to colourful monochromatic moments, patterns reminiscent of the 1960s, ‘70s and Y2K, shearling accents , and accessories like balaclavas , mini purses and statement jewellery ( See our Spring/Summer 2022 trend reports for fashion , hair and beauty ) . And it wouldn’t be couture week in the city of love without a little Emily in Paris moment. Camille Razat was spotted ...
