Prepare To See Jacquemus’ Latest Collection All Over Instagram

Simon Porte Jacquemus knows how to put on a show. His Spring 2020 presentation, set amongst a field of lavender flowers in the South of France, is proof of that. But his latest production, while not quite as over-the-top as the last, had an air about it that seemed bigger and more important than any of the previous ones.

On Friday, the French designer presented his co-ed Winter 2020/21 collection for a limited group of fashion elite during Men’s Fashion Week in Paris. Unlike his other shows, which have been praised for their bold and extravagant sets, this one was stripped clean, with off-white floors and dark walls acting as the sole backdrop for the collection, which he named “Année 97.” 

“I was 7 the day I cut a skirt for my mum out of a linen curtain. Here is the collection L’année 97,” the designer wrote in an Instagram caption. L’année 97, which translates to The Year ’97, pays homage to Jacquemus’ beginnings, most notably, the simplicity of his first designs. Look number one from the show, which features a linen skirt not far off from the one he designed for his mother, acts as a reminder of how he got his start in design. The classic fabric goes on to play a star role in the remainder of the collection.

As for the clothing itself, Jacquemus returned to his southern roots, creating simple, beautiful clothing for the people. He even made a point to cut the prices, with many pieces, dresses included, selling for around 500 euros, rather than his usual 700 to 1,000+ euro price range. On the women, you’ll find fuzzy bloomers; subtle, yet sexy dresses; over-the-knee boots paired with micro shorts; and bright pops of color. The men’s looks included everything from ombre denim to linen puffer coats to exposed boxers.

And a Jacquemus collection wouldn’t be complete without a handbag moment. This season, the designer introduced a record number of new bag silhouettes, from surprisingly normal-sized tote bags to wicker versions of his ubiquitous Le Chiquito mini bags. Cross bodies, belt bags, and harness-style bags were also scattered throughout.

But if watching Bella and Gigi Hadid (both going completely au naturale) strut down the runway in near-matching linen midi dresses wasn’t enough to get the Internet riled up, the collection also introduced a sustainability aspect. After ten years of working with one fabric manufacturer, Jacquemus finally decided to push them to create a sustainable fabric for him. “They didn’t have a sustainable fabric that we wanted. Now, they do — because of the size of the order I can make,” Vogue reported. “It isn’t just for ecologie, [though,] it’s also people — their rhythm of work also has to have sense. I don’t say I’m a green brand or anything like that; it’s not marketing. But I think we have to think more like my grandparents did: like, we have tomatoes in the garden, so we eat tomatoes.”

These Sculptural Heels Are A Work Of Art

Simon Porte Jacquemus Has A New Job

Judy Chicago Designed Dior’s Runway To Look Like A Birth Canal

Ever since Maria Grazia Chiuri began her tenure as the creative director of Dior in 2016, she’s routinely used the runway as a platform to speak about women’s issues. From celebrating female artists like Georgia O’Keeffe and Niki de Saint Phalle, to sending models down the runway in t-shirts that said, “We should all be feminists” and “Why have there been no great women artists?” the brand’s first female artistic director isn’t afraid to make her clothing pointed, and political.

As was the case in Paris yesterday, when Dior showed its Spring 2020 Couture, which featured a collaboration with landmark feminist artist Judy Chicago (the creator of the famed “Dinner Party” installation). As WWD reported, Chicago designed the set of the show at the Rodin Museum, and it will be on view to the public through January 26. Together, Chicago and Chiuri brought to life what was meant to be a public sculpture from 1977 — a birth canal, according to Vogue, where a group of models-as-goddesses descended down a womb-shaped runway. According to Dior’s Instagram, Chiuri saw the runway show as an opportunity to “recall the unstoppable creative force of women.”

Vogue reports that during a six-month period, the designer’s conversations with the artist brought about the idea of “pagan worship of goddesses and the struggle of women artists to find their own means of expression within the female-excluding patriarchal system of western art.” This sparked Chiuri’s memories of Italian statues in Rome: On Instagram, the brand shared that the collection drew “inspiration from classical representations of goddesses, such as Athena. Her majestic allure is a neo-platonic allegory of beauty, combining intellectual strength and aesthetic harmony.” Influenced by Greco-Roman peplos, drapey details were applied to flowy golden gowns, tailored suitings, and skirts, with models wearing crowns and strappy Roman-style sandals. 

“The collection’s key motifs — wholesome, golden ears of wheat — recall the unstoppable creative force of women,” the Instagram post continued. Another one detailed how Chiuri updated Dior’s iconic “Bar” jacket by tricking out tailored looks in “precious metal shades and draping worthy of a goddess.” With a finale dress that incorporated a sequined moon — an ancient symbol of femininity — the runway was lined with embroidered banners created by Chicago and a women’s group in India, with one at the end that asked: “What if Women Ruled the World?” In a time when women are fighting for equal pay and representation across all industries, this is a solid inquiry, but not necessarily a new one.

Though Chiuri’s unwavering dedication to discussing (and posing valid questions about) women’s issues through the runway is noble, her couture is still only ever donned by young, thin, and able-bodied models. In order for Dior to truly transition into a brand that stands for sisterhood, it would be smart to take a note from brands like Chromat and Savage x Fenty, who recognize that feminism in fashion only works when it embraces everybody — with the runway as the ultimate source of inclusivity. As it stands now, the collection — while gorgeous — isn’t doing much to upend couture’s status quo approach to women, and their bodies.

This Grandma-Inspired Knitwear Is Everything

This Grandma-Inspired Knitwear Is About To Be Everywhere

We’re still five days away from the Lunar New Year, but from what we’ve seen, brands aren’t waiting until the night of to introduce their LNY-themed products. And one cult-favorite brand in particular is taking the holiday a step further by not just designing an on-theme capsule, but releasing an entire collection — and it’s about to go viral.

This week, YanYan, a Chinese knitwear brand that launched less than a year ago but has already garnered thousands of loyal followers on Instagram and IRL, announced the arrival of its third collection. The 60-piece assortment was inspired by the vibrance of Sham Shui Po, a shopping district in Hong Kong that specializes in arts and crafts, and houses a large elderly population. Designer and co-founder Suzzie Chung was also inspired by “classic Chinese motifs for mystical ‘rainbow clouds’ 彩雲 (pronounced Choi Wun in Cantonese and Cai Yun in Mandarin).” 

"Sham Shui Po is one of the oldest districts in Hong Kong,” Chung’s design partner, former rag & bone Director of Knitwear, Phyllis Chan explains. “It is a diverse neighborhood of street stalls, trim and fabric shops, old people, wet markets, and traditional food shops. Every time we go I feel so inspired and rejuvenated — it has a funny small-town vibe in a big city.”
 
“The grandma clothing stalls and knick-knacks are perfect for our eclectic style,” Chung adds. “In Hong Kong, there are a lot of older ladies who love mixing and matching print/colors/textures — it can be a head to toe floral look in completely different colors and flowers, or just clashing prints all together. But they seem really happy and comfortable in their outfit, and that's a great vibe.” 

Since “grandma style” is what made us fall in love with YanYan in the first place, it’s no wonder that the duo would use Sham Shui Po and its inhabitants as inspiration. “We always start our collections by imagining what we might find in our grandmother’s closets, and how we would reinterpret the idea for ourselves,” says Phyllis. “Mine loved wearing twinsets in floral prints with a little sparkle. Her mismatching prints were so fun and carefree,” Suzzie says of her grandmother. 

“In this collection, we wanted to explore mixing and matching colors and patterns and stripes, and how to create fun twinsets that can match and look eclectic at the same time.” The result? The perfect blend of YanYan’s specialty knits with bold details like neon stitching and piping, and the introduction of space-dyed fabrics taking the shape of button-downs, midi dresses, and skirts. In addition, expect a small selection of handbags, both designed using leftover fabrics from previous seasons as a way to avoid waste and to continue the legacy of the brand’s past collections. 

Ahead, shop our favorites from the 50-piece YanYan collection, available now on YanYanKnits.com.

Beyoncé’s Adidas x Ivy Park Collab Sparks Criticism From The Plus-Size Community

Following much excitement regarding Beyoncé’s Ivy Park collaboration with Adidas — it immediately sold out following its launch on Saturday, January 18 — the line has received some valid criticism from the plus-size community. The collection, which includes maroon and orange accessories, clothes, and footwear, features a limited size range, from XS – XL. And for many, this feels surprisingly exclusionary, especially considering the artist has spoken frequently about the need for inclusion and representation.

“You can’t celebrate the inclusivity of your other projects, having plus-size dancers and background singers, but ignore us again when it comes to this. The exclusion is intentional and I’m tired,” tweeted essayist Candice Marie Benbow. “We can love her and still say Bey is wrong for Ivy Park’s size exclusion.”

We can love her and still say Bey is wrong for Ivy Park’s size exclusion.

You can’t celebrate the inclusivity of your other projects, having plus size dancers and background singers, but ignore us *again* when it comes to this.

The exclusion is intentional and I’m tired.

— Candice Marie Benbow (@CandiceBenbow) January 18, 2020

While Bey sent full wardrobes of the collaboration to stars like Reese Witherspoon, Cardi B, and Yara Shahidi ahead of the launch, Chicago blogger LaToya T. Wright penned an essay for The Curvy Fashionista, regarding the lack of size inclusion, pointing out, “No orange boxes were shipped to any plus size star.” She went onto say, “While celebs unpacked boxes filled with the complete collection, it looks like plus size women will be limited to the accessory category, some of the outerwear pieces and one of the four different sneakers.” Wright also noted that in December 2019, Elle Magazine reported that Beyoncé was designing “IVY PARK with everyone in mind” and that the press release distinctly states that the collection champions “values of inclusivity, community and diversity.”

“My team has worked hard with the adidas team in bringing my vision to life for this first collection and I am grateful and proud,” Beyoncé stated in the press release. “From the accessories to the clothes and footwear, I wanted to design and re-imagine pieces that serve as favorite armor for anyone who acknowledges the strength in their individual style and lives freely and boldly.” 

While the collection has been marketed as being gender-neutral, it is puzzling that size diversity was not accounted for. Wright commented, “It’s great to see that Beyoncé made IVY PARK inclusive for all genders but what about the plus-size men who also can’t fit in the pieces, either.” There’s also the fact that Adidas’ recent collaboration with Universal Standard, which goes up to size 4X, while Teen Vogue reported that the Adidas x Ivy Park collection had at some point been offered in sizes up to 4X via ASOS and Shoepalace.com.

— Krystal Metcalfe (@KrystalMetcalfe) January 18, 2020

“While we have plenty of options for plus size activewear, that doesn’t help the sting of being left out,” Wright wrote. “At least Adidas didn’t go to the fake inclusive route by hiring smaller plus-size models to promote the Ivy Park collection. But it’s still disappointing.”
