Ganni’s New Collection Was An Ode To Princess Diana & Featured A Matching Set For Every Mood

For Copenhagen Fashion Week, Danish fashion brand Ganni ditched the industry-standard runway model. Instead, it threw a live musical performance, titled #GANNILOVEFOREVER, during which musicians Zsela, Deb Never, and Coco O modeled the brand’s fall ‘21 collection.

For the new line, Ganni founder Ditte Reffstrup wanted to create clothing for the future, when parties (hopefully) don’t take place on Zoom and eating at a restaurant doesn’t require a blanket and a heat lamp. “I’m ready to look my best again,” she said in a press release. To achieve that vision, the designer took cues from one of history’s most prolific dressers Princess Diana, crafting blouses, dresses, and skirts printed with paisley motifs and dreamy florals. Tiny sweater vests layered on top of pastel-colored button-downs, statement collars patterned with roses, and strong-shouldered, ‘80s-inspired blazers all, too, were reminiscent of those worn by the people’s princess.

As if a Diana-inspired collection wasn’t enough to get us excited to dress up again, Reffstrup also gave plenty of matching sets, all featuring the Ganni touch that made the brand a hit with It girls everywhere. This translated to fashion-forward co-ords made out of quilted leather, metallic and patchwork denim, slime green nylon, and tweed. Other additions to the new collection included lug-sole boots, quilted mini shorts, and psychedelic knitwear.

According to Reffstrup, she had to completely change her creative process for the fall ‘21 collection. With travel and socializing on hold as a result of COVID-19, she was no longer able to feed off of the outside world for inspiration. According to the press release, in a video meeting with her design team, Reffstrup said that they talked about “everything [they] had gone through.” The consensus? “The strongest feeling that came out of it was love… It might sound cheesy, but [this collection was meant to represent the] feeling that we are not alone in the world.” And one day — hopefully, one day soon — we won’t be. And, thanks to this collection, we’ll be ready and dressed-up when that time comes.

See the full collection, here.

Amanda Gorman’s Time Dress Mirrored Her Inauguration Look

On Thursday, Time published an interview between Amanda Gorman, inaugural poet-turned-fashion star, and former First Lady Michelle Obama, as part of its “The Renaissance Is Black” series, spearheaded by How To Be An Antiracist author Ibram X. Kendi. For the accompanying photos, Gorman posed for two portraits, shot by photographer Awol Erizku — the artist behind Beyoncé’s pregnancy announcement shoot. 

In one of Gorman’s portraits, the National Youth Poet Laureate wore a bright yellow, puff-sleeved gown by Greta Constantine. And, from the crown-like Khiry headband paired with her dress to its eye-catching color, the outfit mirrored the 22-year-old’s Inauguration look. Except, rather than a coat and a padded headband, Gorman wore a gown and a gold necklace as a headpiece.

After Gorman wore the yellow Prada coat and red headband, there was a 1,328% surge in search for “yellow coats” on the fashion search engine Lyst, and a 560% increase in interest for “red headbands.” WWD ran an article following the Inauguration titled, “Why Amanda Gorman Represents a New Kind of Style Icon,” while the NYT investigated why “We Can’t Stop Thinking About Amanda Gorman’s Headband.”

The yellow dress from the Time cover was plucked from Greta Constantine’s spring ‘21 collection by her stylists Jason Bolden and John Mumblo. The other shot featured a high-necked, hot pink gown by celebrity stylist Jason Rembert’s New York-based label Aliétte. 

According to Time, Erizku wanted the portrait of Gorman in her Aliétte gown to be an “indirect nod” to Maya Angelou. In the portrait, Gorman is holding a birdcage, a reference to the birdcage ring she wore at the Inauguration — a gift from Oprah — and Angelou’s poem, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” Erizku told Time. “It needed a layer of depth that only poetry can explain,” he said. During the interview, Gorman and Obama, too, talked about the poet and civil rights activist; like Angelou and President Biden, Gorman has had difficulty with her speech in the past. “I could not say certain sounds, like r, so I would be saying things like poetwee or dolla,” she told Obama. “For a long time, I looked at it as a weakness. Now I really look at it as a strength.” 

One of many. In the just over two weeks since Inauguration Day, Gorman has been signed by IMG Models, appeared on Ellen, and been deemed by many (us included!) as one to watch in fashion. Now, she can add an interview with Obama — one featured in Time, no less — to that list.

The Purple Looks Were A Nod To Shirley Chisholm

Even In Black & White, Law Roach’s Costumes Shine In Malcolm & Marie

From playing a 19th-century trapeze artist in The Greatest Showman to a young woman struggling with addiction in Euphoria, Zendaya’s acting has range. This extends to her fashion choices, too, with each look unexpected and unlike the one that came before it. Last year alone — a worse-than-usual year for clothes that weren’t sweatpants — she wore a plunging purple dress for the Emmys and a gravity-defining ballgown for InStyle (both by Christopher John Rogers), a hot pink breastplate by Tom Ford for the Critics Choice Awards, and very good bucket hats for GQ. Behind all those diverse, compelling looks is one stylist, Image Architect Law Roach.

Roach’s newest collaboration with Zendaya is on display in Netflix’s new film Malcolm & Marie, which marks the first time he worked with the star on a film project in their decade of working together. “I got the call from Zendaya saying that [director] Sam Levinson wanted me to be a part of the project. I was so happy and so grateful and so humbled because I never got a chance to work with Zendaya in this capacity,” Roach told Refinery29.

While the one-location film shows Zendaya in only two looks, the fashion featured is a testament to Roach’s signature touch — the ability to make any outfit, whether it’s an avant-garde red carpet gown or a tank top and sneakers, alluring — which has made him one of Hollywood’s most in-demand stylists today. (His other clients have included Celine Dion, Anya Taylor-Joy, Hunter Schafer, and Kerry Washington).

From the moment Zendaya’s character Marie appears on-screen, she exudes sensuality, dressed in a tight-fitting pewter gown with revealing cutouts and a thigh-high slit. “I think being sexy is a huge part of her personality and just who she is,” Roach said of Marie. “I think she owns her femininity and really loves to express that through her wardrobe.”

When discussing the dress prior to filming, Levinson’s one requirement was for it to be timeless. “He said, ‘When someone watches this film 20 years from now, I want this dress to still be relevant and beautiful,’” Roach said. “I was like, ‘No pressure Sam.’” 

To carry out this vision, Roach started by pulling some ready-to-wear dresses but decided to create a custom look after they didn’t feel “special enough.” After enlisting fellow stylist, good friend, and Aliétte designer Jason Rembert, Roach went back-and-forth with Levinson and Zendaya on sketches before landing on a few. “Jason was in New York and I was in L.A. on FaceTime with him while we were going through the fabric store and picking fabrics,” said Roach. Because the film is black and white, the material of the dress was key: “The fabric needed to have movement. We chose a lot of fabrics and sent them back to Sam and Zendaya, who did camera and lighting tests.” 

The work paid off. On-screen, the dress catches and absorbs light with Zendaya’s every move and camera angle. Up close, the details are even more mesmerizing. As Malcolm — played by John David Washington who was styled by Samantha McMillen — grazes Marie’s waist with his hands, the camera follows his fingers, showing every fold of the intricately rich fabric that looks made from liquid mercury. During one particularly emotional scene, Marie tells Malcolm that he should thank her “for looking so goddamn sexy in that dress.” Elsewhere, in a cooking scene sequence that’s not for the faint of (fashion) heart, Marie, still in the dress, throws open a stick of butter and tosses the just-boiled pasta into the colander without any pause — which I wouldn’t even do in an apron let alone a couture gown fit for a movie premiere.

Halfway through the film, Zendaya trades her red carpet look — which delightfully includes a pair of  Wolford tights with a back seam that get their own scene — for white underwear and a sheer tank top, a reference to Nicole Kidman’s look in Eyes Wide Shut. “We went through a bunch of different brands and cuts to get the best and the most flattering and still sexy silhouette.” The style that they landed on is refreshingly attainable, a ribbed tank from Aerie.

At one point, Marie throws a vintage floral robe over it, which, according to Roach, was “from Zendaya’s closet,” says Roach.

When speaking of coming up with the looks for the film, Roach says that he approached it like he would a photo shoot or a red carpet appearance with Zendaya. “Except I wasn’t dressing Zendaya. I was dressing Marie who is leaps and bounds different from Zendaya. But I think the process was still the same — finding something to be inspired by and creating a story with the wardrobe,” he says. “Everything that I do with Zendaya always starts with a narrative. It starts with us creating the character.”

H&M Teamed Up With An Iconic ’90s Denim Brand To Launch A Sustainable Collection

We’re living in an era of reboots. It seems almost daily, you hear about another beloved TV show or movie being recreated with a more contemporary spin. But it’s not just entertainment: Nostalgia has also found its way into our closets; and now, a truly iconic denim brand, Lee, is getting the reboot treatment, courtesy of H&M. Lee has a long and storied history in the denim industry (it was the first denim brand to use zippers — cue “mind blown” emoji), and the brand has paired up with H&M to create a collection based on its classic designs, with a crucial 2021 update: sustainability.

The Lee x H&M collection — which includes reimagined versions of old-school favorites, like a cocoon-silhouette Rider jacket, denim corsets, a cropped long-sleeve crewneck, wide-leg jeans, and a denim bucket hat — not only doubles as a wearable time capsule, but it’s also the retailer’s most sustainable line yet. Recognizing the responsibility to minimize fashion’s footprint, the Lee x H&M team considered sustainability in every step of the process, from design to end-use. The collection includes H&M’s first-ever 100% recycled cotton jeans, non-toxic buttons and zippers, a backpatch made with responsibly sourced cork, prints from water-based ink, and more. And they’ve got the receipts to back it up: H&M shared the line’s Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data — which measures each product’s potential environmental impact — on its website. Scroll to shop pieces that will simultaneously fill you with nostalgic joy and hope for the future.

Throw on these relaxed-fit overalls and unclip one suspender for a retro styling moment.  

This shacket (aka a shirt-jacket hybrid), in all its classic workwear glory, is one of those pieces that you’ll inevitably reach for almost every day, to wear with almost any outfit.

A Regency-era reboot made of 100% recycled cotton denim that will also help you embrace your inner ’90s pop princess — bonus points if you wear it with jeans, alongside your fully denim-clad partner. 

Tuck it into wide-leg jeans (which you’ll find below) for the ultimate casual-cool ensemble. 

With its oversized, cocoon shape, this spin on Lee’s classic Rider jacket is the perfect contemporary addition to your outerwear collection. 

A true wardrobe staple: These mid-blue wash skinny jeans pair just as well with a classic button-down as with a casual tee — and an oversized rider jacket to top off any look. 

Who needs athleisure when you have the perfect pair of slouchy jeans made with soft (and sustainable) materials like recycled cotton and renewable fiber blend Lyocell?

A ribbed beanie in lavender to carry you through those April months that should be warm but never are. 

These ultra-wide jeans paired with the Lee x H&M crop top (which features the ultimate ’90s style calling card: overlocked edges at the hem and cuffs) is truly a *chef’s kiss* throwback outfit. 

Pretty sure this bucket hat alone can make all of your ’90s sitcom dreams come true.
