FASHION IS ALL ABOUT LOOKING AHEAD,

and that spirit could be felt more than ever this season as designers across the globe welcomed editors and fashion fans alike back to the runways with collections full of optimism and hope.

DRESSING UP IS BACK!

AND BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE

BY GIUSEPPA NADROWSKI

BRING OUT THE SHIMMER,

the sequins, and the shine. Find your favorite heels and that LBD and get ready, because when it comes to fashion this season, we are all about getting dressed up again for occasions both big and small. Across collections and cities, designers near and far made it a point to present shows that brought back the fervor we’ve needed of fashion. At Gucci, Alessandro Michele set the tone with dazzling lights and a collection that partied from first exit to last. The collection, which celebrated the brand’s centennial anniversary, seemed to parallel the spirit of season — to dress up and have fun. “Here we are then, ready to celebrate, wearing our most glittering clothes. Preparations for the event are in full swing. We are eager to walk through the Savoy’s doors again,” Michele said in a press release for the collection’s launch. He wasn’t the only one filled with excitement, as the same electric energy could be felt at Versace, Saint Laurent, Chanel, and more. Virginie Viard staged a quieter but equally special celebration for Chanel at Castel, the legendary Parisian nightclub. “A girls’ night in,” she said of the event. In between the brand’s iconic tweeds and stunning outerwear was a myriad of shimmery accessories and wonderful little black dresses — the kind we imagine one could wear to both a disco and an intimate dinner party. Here, we showcase some of our favorite items this season, items sure to bring that sense of celebration and jubilee back into your wardrobe. Even if your evening out is really just an evening in, the time to dress up again is now.

MILLENNIUM REWIND

THIS SEASON’S STYLES ARE A LITTLE ’90S, A LITTLE Y2K, AND A WHOLE LOT OF FUN

BY GIUSEPPA NADROWSKI

3.

CHOKERS, POPBRIGHT PALETTES,

miniskirts, cropped cardigans, tiny bags, and a feeling of hope and fervor for the future filled the collections with Y2K excitement. It’s a look that reminds us of the late ’90s and early aughts. It’s pure fun, pure pop, and pure positivity. The looks radiate with an energy reminiscent to that felt on New Year’s Eve 1999 — an energy fueled by the dawn of a new millennium. It’s an energy we’re feeling again for a post-pandemic world and one that this season’s designers are delightfully capturing in their collections. No one expressed that feeling and that nostalgic yet completely newfor-today look more eloquently than Donatella Versace and her 2022 Resort collection. It features bold houndstooth patterns, barely-there hemlines, chunky heels, mood-lifting pastel and neon hues, trippy prints, liquid latex, and just a grand sense of having fun with fashion. To Vogue, she said, “I think there’s a renewed sense of optimism right now, and I wanted this collection to speak to that,” adding, “This season is about having fun again, and it feels right to put something positive into the world. We’ll never return to the old world or to the old ‘normal’; there’s no going backwards. This is what the new now looks like to me.” It’s a new look and feel we love, and it is one we hope continues long past the pandemic. So, for now, we’re going to party like it’s 1999. Throw on a Britney Spears track, slip into some platforms, and make the look totally your own with these pop princess-approved pieces.

THE TIFFANY KNOT

A BRILLIANT NEW ADDITION TO THE BELOVED BRAND’S LUXE LINEUP

BY GIUSEPPA NADROWSKI

TIFFANY & CO.,

the legendary label known for its diamonds and rings, is at it again with a soon-tobe-iconic new design, the Tiffany Knot. A tribute to the energy and spirit of the brand’s New York City hometown, the new designs are “subversive, witty, and individualistic” and meant to symbolize the ability “to create connections between people.” The collection features an array of earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets cast in 18K yellow gold and 18K rose gold, some set with the label’s brilliant diamonds. Among our favorites, the pavé diamond hinged bracelet is a masterpiece in design. Master artisans spend approximately 22 hours to craft each bracelet in this shimmering style. The bracelet contains over 400 diamonds set at precise angles to maximize the brilliance. According to the brand, each design is “a complex feat of craftsmanship.” The brand adds, “(The) Tiffany Knot is elegant and contemporary with a touch of sharpness — just like the city that inspired it.”

To see the brilliance in person, The Mall at Millenia now features a dedicated and immersive pop-in experience to view the new Tiffany Knot.
