When it comes to skirt, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the school uniform and the fact that they can be tad boring. If you're always in a dilemma when it comes to skirts, then you need to take some sartorial inspiration from Katrina Kaif, who knows how to pull off a skirt look.
Tulsi is a traditional healing herb. Most of us have grown up seeing a sacred Tulsi plant in our households but what if we tell you, the benefits it offers for your health are even more sacrosanct?

So get ready to meet the contestants that you're going to want to know. Seriously, your wardrobe will thank you.
A pioneer of urban wear, the Brooklyn designer, whose full name is Kianga Peterson, got her start at Fubu and is now behind the luxury resort wear line K.Miele.

Isaac Saqib may not have gone to fashion school, but says he's "the only Pakistani-American luxury streetwear designer in New York." Rappers like Young Thug and NBA player Kyrie Irving have worn looks from his Mercy X Mankind label.
The Puerto Rican designer Nasheli Ortiz-Gonzalez is Department Chair and Associate Professor of Fashion Design at Moore College of Art & Design. She's already dressed Beyoncé, but she's doing Next In Fashion to tell her story. It's one the owner of the brand Nasheli Juliana says is quite rare in the fashion world, being that she's "Latina and fat," a single mom, and from humble beginnings.
Marco Morante has dressed
Iggy Azalea, Rita Ora, and Fergie. The half-Dominican, half-Puerto Rican designer from California also worked with fellow contestant Ashton throughout his career to style Ariana Grande and Katy Perry. He's the owner of Marco Marco Underwear and last year, was the designer behind New York Fashion Week's first all-trans show.
Julian Woodhouse is the CEO and Creative Director of the made-to-order brand Wood House Army, which has been worn by Nick Jonas, Common, and Jason Derulo. The model-turned-designer describes his style as "over the top" and calls his husband, Ukrainian model Kirill Kabachenko, his "muse."
This Canadian designer is known for his red carpet gowns. Charles Lu put on his first runway show when he was just 13, making his looks out of recycled materials found around his father's appliance store (paper clips, duct tape, sheets of plastic). The former Creative Director of Arushi Couture is now in the process of developing his own brand Charles Lu.
Narresh Kukreja is bringing the glamour to the Next In Fashion runway. The Indian designer is the co-founder of Shivan & Narresh, a luxury holiday brand known for its prints, which he designs himself.

The rebel of the Next In Fashion cast, Claire Davis is here to wow you. The U.K.-based designer is very into creating "hooch-wench vibes" and honestly, who doesn't want to learn more about that? She founded the eco-conscious label Hanger Inc.
Adolfo Sanchez is a Mexican-American designer based in Los Angeles with a focus on ready-to-wear, evening wear and bridal under his Adolfo Sanchez brand.
When we first meet the Italian designer, he's in head to toe leopard print so it's safe to say his style is fierce. Angelo Cruciani is the creative director of his own brand, Yezael.
Farai Simoyi-Agbede is aBrooklyn-based designer who grew up in Zimbabwe. She designed for Nicki Minaj's collection where she worked with fellow contestant Kiki, who is like a member of her family. Now, she's the founder and designer behind The Narativ and curator of NY Now Fashion Runway.

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA – JANUARY 28: Kerry Washington attends the Television Academy’s 25th Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony at Saban Media Center on January 28, 2020 in North Hollywood, California. (Photo by Rodin Eckenroth/FilmMagic)
Kerry Washington seems to have taken a style cue from Little Women (and really, who amongst us hasn’t?). During an appearance at the Television Academy’s 2020 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Los Angeles, the actor wore an off-the-shoulder gown by Khaite featuring a black-and-tan plaid print, with a nude pink tulle skirt underneath. For her accessories, she wore brown heels by Christian Loubitoun, and minimal jewelry.
Khaite rose to viral fame in September 2019 when Katie Holmes stepped out wearing a cashmere bra and matching cardigan. We’ve been following the brand ever since; and with this prairie-perfect plaid moment, it’s official: We’re obsessed.
Stylist Law Roach styled Kerry for the special occasion, sharing an image of the outfit with a caption that compared the ‘fit to an India Arie song. Another post he shared of the look was captioned with the words “Brown Skin,” one of Arie’s famed songs. Kerry shared on IG that she was attending the event to “honor a hero of mine” — by this she meant Bob Iger, a producer. She said, “Without him, Scandal would not have existed.”
Known for her bold-yet-classic red carpet looks, Kerry recently wore a black skirt with a slit and an open black blazer by Altuzarra to the Golden Globes. The focal point of the outfit? A knotted, crystal rope chain that adorned her chest and waist. Presenting the award for Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy, the actor looked cool, calm, and confident as ever.
No matter what she wears, Kerry is one of our favorite style stars and we’re keeping our eyes peeled for her next stylish outing.

"I think Danish style is understated and effortless," Sanne Sehested, creative director and founder of Danish womenswear label Gestuz tells me. "We love fashion and care a great deal about how we look, the quality of our pieces, and our style but, ideally, we want it to look like we spent very little time on it." It's this secret formula that has propelled Danish fashion into the global spotlight, eclipsing the French girl's je ne sais quoi and providing sartorial inspiration via an easy aesthetic that's now copied the world over.
Don't assume this means staid minimalism and a neutral palette, though. "We used to be known for a very clean, minimalistic expression," Sanne explains, "but I think we have gotten braver when it comes to colors and patterns." Too right: anyone following the band of Scandi women leading the street style charge (Jeanette Madsen, Thora Valdimars, Emili Sindlev, Anine Bing et al) knows that pastel hues, candy colors, and paintbox brights saturate their wardrobes as much as clean lines and classic silhouettes.
Sanne founded Gestuz in 2008, so she's seen firsthand how the Danish fashion scene has evolved from insider's secret to become globally celebrated. Her label pushes the envelope on traditional Scandinavian design, resulting in disruptive contemporary pieces with energy and innovation that befit Copenhagen's most stylish. Think classic trench coats in unexpected checks, cozy knitwear in abstract prints, and versatile afternoon-meeting-to-Aperol-spritz leather dresses.
Presenting her irreverent AW20 collection at the brand's Gallery Gestuz, Sanne says: "The collection pays tribute to the prominent minimalistic Scandinavia, but it's accompanied by a focus on a quirky edginess. We went with calmer colors and new silhouettes with a touch of power. You will see dark navy blue as one of the main hues this season in the shape of masculine suits, statement leather pieces, and outerwear. This collection is for the woman who demands much from her outfit, but also doesn’t want to take herself too seriously."
Ahead of Copenhagen Fashion Week AW20, we asked Sanne to give us her insider's guide to the Danish capital, from an unbeatable brunch to where to rummage for vintage treasures. Click through to find her picks.
Coffee
Copenhagen offers many good places to grab a coffee but one of my favorites must be Prolog in the Meatpacking District. It’s a rather small place but if you are lucky to get a seat I love to sit here and take a break. In the summer you can sit outside and catch the rays and enjoy the buzz from the area.
Vintage Shopping
My preferred vintage places in Copenhagen are Jerome Vintage, I Blame Lulu and Magnolia 2ndhand. They're all good for luxury fashion. The Danes love to shop but I also feel that we are good at reselling, so you can actually get a hold of quite new collections in vintage shops, too.
Dinner
There is a general focus on and interest in good food in Copenhagen and the number of good restaurants is proof of that. For a romantic dinner – or just any dinner – I would suggest Restaurant Lola in Christianshavn. It is situated in an old mill and can sit around 50 people. I just love the atmosphere here as it is laid-back and a place where they also take social responsibility. And the food, of course, is amazing.
Home Goods
I am a big fan of Frama, their products have a beautiful aesthetic and their scented candles are a must. My next buy from them is the Adam Stool as I like the industrial look, which would create a nice contrast at home.
Brunch
Copenhagen has so many nice places to have brunch, it is hard to pick a favorite. I like Ipsen & Co. on Frederiksberg as it offers a delicate, yet small selection with a focus on organic products — all in cozy surroundings. Another great option is Hotel Sanders where you can spend hours in their 'Sanders Kitchen' or roof terrace. The interior here is amazing and whether you are up for brunch, lunch, dinner or drinks, it is worth a visit.
Nature
I love getting out of the city and taking in the fresh air and walking with my family and our dog. One of my favorite spots is Dyrehaven during autumn. All the trees change color and it is magical to walk for hours, breathing in the crisp air.
Karaoke
I haven’t done a lot of karaoke in my life but for the traditional feel I would visit Sam’s Bar, the oldest karaoke bar in Copenhagen, and for a more daring performance I would visit the restaurant Falang, which besides food also offers karaoke.
Danish Cuisine
For a true Danish food experience, I like to visit Restaurant Gilleleje. It is in Nyhavn and offers real traditional Danish lunch. I always order rye bread with shrimps and egg. It’s very traditional but it’s a must-have in a place like this.
A Tacky Souvenir
If you are in for a tacky Copenhagen souvenir you should visit Royal Souvenir in Bredgade. They have everything the heart desires and I would recommend buying a wooden guard or a statue of the Little Mermaid. It doesn’t get tackier than this.
Insta-Worthy Interiors
Currently, I am very inspired by @studioolivergustav. I am drawn to the calm and grey darkness of his universe. I have a big renovation planned, so I find his style very inspirational.

Shoes may not be able to talk, but they have a way of saying a lot about a person. An Everlane flat practically screams sensibility and style, for example, while Manolo Blahnik Hangisi heels suggest an affinity for glamour (and, probably, Sex and the City). Louis XIV’s famed collection practically sums up his entire reign in a nutshell: opulent, excessive, divine. And then there’s the quirky Fluevog, a small shoe brand with enormous character whose statement-making designs are famously loud. So loud, in fact, they speak directly to the soul — and the fashion world is listening closely.
In the 1970s, on the heels of a summer spent hitchhiking down the West Coast in the throes of social revolution, John Fluevog returned home to Vancouver to work in the shoe business. By 1980, he had his own namesake label born from the vestiges of 1960s counterculture, created to celebrate individuality. With each Victorian-inspired buckle, architectural heel, and floral jacquard fabric integrated into his designs, Fluevog was using shoes to send a message to his customers: “The way you have been made is ok, and you can walk in the boldness of knowing your uniqueness is not an accident,” he says, explaining to Refinery29 that this belief is what fuels his craft.
It’s a brand ethos that has survived decades of fashion cycles and the fleeting trends they produce completely unscuffed. While shopping habits and tastes shifted with each new era of style (oversized everything in the ’80s, punk in the ’90s, and so on), the loyal Fluevog customer has always been the person that wants to stand out in a crowd. “They were the ones that bucked the trends. They were the ones that went against the flow. They were the cool [people] that were into drugs and sex and anything, but really they were people that were trying to carve out a different life for themselves,” Fluevog says.
In a digital age where our wardrobes have morphed into uniform derivatives of what we’re constantly being force-fed online, a collective craving for this Fluevog-ian kind of originality is starting to emerge. Sartorial ennui has left shoppers hungry for the cool, cult-y brands that don’t adhere to industry rules and standards, which has always been the Fluevog way. According to Larry Milstein, co-founder of PRZM, one of the leading Gen Z consultancies, there is no appetite for individualism greater than that of centennials who hail from a generation currently on track to make up the majority of buying power by the end of this year.
“Authenticity is critical for Gen Z… We are the first generation to have grown up around this concept of ‘personal brand’ and seen the explosive growth of social platforms built precisely for self-expression — and individuality has increasingly come to displace conformity,” Milstein explains. “The same applies to how we engage with brands. Companies that take a stand, embrace individuality, and are unafraid of what makes them different are resonating in particular with our next-gen cohort.”
If authenticity is what makes the Fluevog brand matter, a consistently funky flair is what makes it desirable. It’s a niche aesthetic, to be sure — think ’90s grunge meets baroque psychedelia — but it’s also surprisingly versatile. You’re as likely to find Lizzo rocking a pair of bubble-gum pink ‘vogs for an Absolut Vodka campaign as you are to spot the label at Paris Fashion Week (see Comme des Garcons F/W 2019 for reference). Each design is like a story that invites its wearer to play the lead. There are vintage-inspired lace-up booties for the days you feel like a rockstar and buckled loafer heels for when you feel like a queen. And if you’re in a Helena Bonham Carter mood and want to be a little bit of both, look no further than the rubber-heeled Mary Janes.
Devout followers of the brand call themselves Fluevogers — an eclectic community that counts Madonna, Alice Cooper, and Beyoncé among its higher-profile members. Having celebrities wear his shoes is what Fluevog likens to the occasional sprinkling of fairy dust, but he also thinks there’s a simple reason his vision resonates with musicians in particular. “They entertain, I entertain. It makes sense that they were born to make [people] happy and so was I.”
The Fluevoger crew is so tight-knit, they even dip into one another’s closets from time to time. The company’s Fluemarket is a highly trafficked online marketplace where previously loved products from the brand can be uploaded and resold. Fluevog doesn’t make money from these transactions, which are instead part of its larger efforts to be more environmentally friendly. According to the “About the materials and production” section of the company website, Fluevog produces its shoes in factories across the globe that comply with western labor standards. They also use recycled soles, less leather (Fluevog began working with vegan leather back in the 1990s), and no heavy metals in the tanning process. The goal? Longer-lasting shoes that are kinder to our planet. “I believe every person and company has a moral obligation to try and have less impact on our environment. It’s not just a nice thing to do, we have to do it,” the designer says.
If there’s one trend wave Fluevog has been riding long before it was cool, it’s the sustainability one — another part of its brand DNA that’ll attract a new breed of fans. As consumers become increasingly aware of their role within a larger ecosystem that needs both improving and protecting, they’ll rely on brands like Fluevog to help them make better choices. “The main trend for the near future is that of being credible, authentic, and being capable of explaining what it is that you’re doing and being truthful. I think people really are looking for something real,” says Orsola de Castro, co-founder of the global not-for-profit Fashion Revolution which campaigns for systemic reform in the industry. “At the end of the day, it’s about buying something you know you’re going to keep.”
Like most brands trying to adopt greener practices, Fluevog isn’t perfect, which is something its founder recognizes. “The very idea of us shipping product around the world puts us in negative territory. Saying we are environmentally ok would be wrong,” he says. But this awareness and transparency represents a step in the right direction towards truly conscious transactions, and it’s one that’ll land Fluevog right on the hearts and heels of 2020’s coolest consumers.
