September Fashion Show A few of fashion’s biggest names may have already ditched the Fashion Week schedule, but Burberry’s Riccardo Tisci isn’t ready to say goodbye just yet. This September, Burberry is taking its spring 2021 collection to the great outdoors to digitally debut the Burberry in Nature runway show.

The immersive experience, set for September 17 will be completely carbon neutral, and serve as Burberry’s way to “reconnect with nature and each other.” Where fashion shows used to be invite-only, this digital experience is open to everyone. “As humans, we have always had a deep affinity to nature. We have had to respect and rely upon its power for our very existence, whilst marveling and reveling in its extraordinary beauty,” Tisci said in a statement. “Especially recently, we have all yearned to reconnect again and for this show, I wanted to celebrate these feelings by bringing our community together in a creative experience that takes place within the beautiful, natural landscape of Britain.”

“Tisci is one of the few designers with concrete plans for the upcoming September fashion schedule. Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, Saint Laurent and more have already announced plans to skip the upcoming fashion circuit; Pyer Moss will host movie screenings and release a limited-edition collection tied to the movie experience. Earlier, in May, Gucci announced it will show on July 17 during Milan Digital Fashion Week and with plans to only show twice a year from now on.”

Speaking to WWD about the future of fashion shows, Tisci explained that he believes designers shouldn’t forgo the fashion week schedule, but rethink their strategies because “we must recognize that the world is changing, and we must adapt and redefine our landscape through new forms of expression. Ultimately, to me, it will always be important to keep a physicality to fashion, to be able to see and understand the texture and movements of clothes, but in new ways.” Sure, there have lately been the welcome rumblings of a backlash against the if-you-can-do-it-all-youcan-have-it-all algorithm, a recipe (myth? con?) for general despair and a free-floating sense of failure. Women are pushing back against the idea that we are not only supposed to meet every challenge, we are supposed to do it with grace, without the unsexy discomfort of effort. While that may be an impossible standard, the boilersuit is, at least, not going to get in the way of whatever’s on your to-do list. It’s a versatile workhorse, presumably ready to jump on a call, pick up a child from a playdate, head to yoga, and make grain-free granola—or just lie on the couch. And if you can’t do it all, at least your wardrobe can. Fashion has long prized show over utility, tossing aside practicality in favor of art and fancy. But the needle is moving: Thanks to street style and Instagram, reality is now the runway. In an age held in thrall to ideals of multitasking and efficiency, where celebrities are arguably the power suit du jour. It’s the ultimate triumph of fashion-as-life-hack.

A lot has changed since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s October 2018 royal tour of Australia—consider this a contender for Understatement of The Year—but one fashion item remains steadfast: the crisp, white Veja sneakers Meghan wore while the two were seen on a boat. The French-based brand soared to immediate relevance— ELLE UK reported that searches for the fair-trade shoe brand shot up by 113% that month alone. More recently in 2020, the sneakers were sported by the likes of Katie Holmes and Reese Witherspoon, continuing celebrity’s love affair with Veja’s minimal kicks. Those who’ve spent hours trying to hunt down a marked down pair (shyly raises hand) already know that the brand almost never goes on sale. I have lucky news for those waiting for an internet miracle: Amazon just kicked off its Big Style Sale and Veja is being sold for up to 37 percent off its retail value. Beyond its star-powered list of endorsers, there’s much for consumers to love about Veja. The company offers full transparency into their manufacturing process and all of the shoes are made in a factory in Brazil that honors workers’ rights. Below, every pair of Vejas you can find marked down right now. Trust us when we say these will definitely sell out fast.

Paris Fashion Week Will Go Ahead With Physical Shows in the Fall

oday, Rosie’s heirs have made it off the factory floor and onto the runway, where that same can-do spirit prevails. For fall, Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri cooked up a quilted boilersuit that was as utilitarian as it was refined; at Salvatore Ferragamo, Paul Andrew’s take on the look, rendered in tobacco-hued leather, conjured simultaneous toughness and elegance; and Isabel Marant’s khaki version, collarless and strong-shouldered, emanated both power and ease—along with a sense that there is power in ease. Today’s suits look like they know how to fix a carburetor while swilling a champagne cocktail. They even found a celebrity ambassador recently in the form of Irina Shayk, making her first paparazzi appearance post– Bradley Cooper breakup in a military style from Burberry: the perfect look for parachuting her way into singlehood.

astering Quarantine Style at Home With the Nicholls Family

Fashion

When lockdown hit, the FASHION team suddenly had to find new ways to create art for our Summer issue. One ideal scenario would be to find a fashion photographer who lives with a model. Award-winning FASHION contributor Chris Nicholls immediately came to mind. Nicholls was holed up in Toronto with his wife, Lorca Moore, who works with Nicholls as a highly-skilled post-production artist and is also a professional model who has appeared in FASHION many times over the years. The first cover the couple worked on together was Winter 1995, and four years later, Nicholls photographed Moore when she was pregnant with their son, Alden. Even better, their daughter, Finlay, is also a model. So the family’s backyard and roof was turned into a

set and they got to work, with clothing collected and sent over by Creative and Fashion Director George Antonopoulos. Check out the Nicholls family photoshoot to see how they master quarantine style below: Michael Kors has unveiled a new design for his ‘Love’ T-shirt in support of COVID-19 relief efforts, specifically those being undertaken by the World Food Programme (WFP). All profits from the sale of each unisex shirt (which features the word love written in light blue on a white background) will be donated to the WFP to help its work in delivering food to children in need across the world. Each purchase is the equivalent of 100 meals and Kors will donate up to two million meals to the WFP.

There’s a Global Effort Behind Goodee’s New Tote Made in collaboration with the United Nations Ethical Fashion Initiative and Italian social co-operative Cartiera, the new Bassi Market tote from Goodee is truly the result of a meeting of the minds. Not only is it crafted with handwoven textiles made by artisans connected by social co-operatives in Burkina Faso but its design was conceived by Goodee’s founders, Montreal’s Byron and Dexter Peart, who launched the renowned luxury brand Want Les Essentiels (best known for its selection of natty handbags). The tote’s launch is another feather in the cap of the Peart brothers, who saw their marketplace brand earn enviable B Corp certification earlier this year. “As a company founded on principles of sustainability and mindful connection to our world, becoming a certified B Corp felt like a natural fit from day one,” said co-founder Byron Peart at the time of the prestigious announcement. “It validates our raison d’être—to create a world where caring for people and the planet comes first—and ensures we always live up to the high standards we’ve set for ourselves.” In addition to its work with the United Nations Ethical Fashion Initiative and Cartiera, Goodee has partnered with fellow B Corp brands like Antwerp-based children’s decor brand Ecobirdy, and Danish furniture company Skagerak.
