Up next are fringes. Fringes have been around since the eighteenth century and have maintained its relevancy up to now. Fringes continue to be syndicated with a flirtatious character and can be described as pastiche. Some might have seen fringes only being worn on the end of dresses or skirt, but the placement of fringes are not just limited to that. Fringes can be worn on shirts and on dresses. When designed on dresses, it can be in a layered format throughout the entire length of the dress, at the end of it or at the shoulders like in the photo below.

Contrary to pessimistic forecasts about the fate of Vietnamese fashion brands after a massive influx of foreign brands like Uniqlo, Zara and H&M into the country , domestic labels, such as Blue Exchange, Ninomaxx, PT 2000, Couple TX and Canifa are, likely to prosper through expansion of their distribution networks and marketing campaigns, say experts. Foreign brands like Bossini, Giordano and Miniso were present in the Vietnamese market earlier, but did not affect market share held by Vietnamese brands, according to a report in a popular news portal in the country. Vietnamese customers spend more money on foreign branded goods, according to 2017 second quarter report of market analysis firm BMI. The value of the Vietnamese fashion market is estimated at $3.8 billion in 2018, of which expenditure on clothing is $3.5 billion. Canifa recently spent a big amount on media campaigns and sponsors many famous TV shows. As shops of most Vietnamese fashion ...
Attending two glamorous fashion parties in one night is all in a day’s work for Kendall Jenner. It’s all we can do just to try and keep up with her wardrobe changes as seen just yesterday, when she wore two radically different (yet equally chic) ensembles in the span of a single evening. Jenner’s first stop was the Longchamp New York City flagship opening where she was joined by pals Cara Delevingne and Paris Jackson. As the newest face of the French brand, Jenner showed her support in Longchamp's printed maxi dress and lace-up Victorian boots. The frock’s keyhole and pussybow neckline were rather romantic details for the usually sporty Jenner, but she gave the demure message some edge with the brand’s snakeskin bag. Strapped tight and strung high, the accessory not only added a layer of texture. It was a nice new way to wear the once-casual cross-body after dark.

That was part of show creator Bruce Miller’s vision for the MGM Television-produced adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale , which in its second season on Hulu goes beyond the original source material of Atwood’s novel. Crabtree said that her approach, and that of everyone who contributed to the stunning visuals, was to ask themselves, “How can we make this so frightening and so current, and not just highlight costumes as a period piece?” On Monday evening, I moderated a panel with Crabtree and six members of the cast: Madeline Brewer (Janine), Amanda Brugel (Rita), Nina Kiri (Alma), Robert Curtis Brown (Commander Pryce), Ever Carradine (Naomi Putnam), and Sydney Sweeney (Eden). What became clear during our discussion was that these costumes are so effective because Crabtree recognized that symbols of repression can also become symbols of resistance when they are viewed through a different lens. In some cases, uniforms designed to repress individual traits have a sneaky way ...
RELATED: The Handmaid's Tale's Madeline Brewer Models Red Fashion Throughout the galleries, the show’s intestinal-clenching soundtrack plays ominously overhead – as if you were not already on edge after watching the first few episodes of the second season. Crabtree, who has created costumes for many series in her career, including The Sopranos and Westworld , is now getting well-deserved recognition with the exhibition, co-curated by SCAD FASH executive director Alexandra Sachs, director of fashion exhibitions Rafael Gomes, and Mangue Banzima, a SCAD alumnus who collaborated with Crabtree on a Handmaid’s Tale event at the Public Hotel in New York last year. Getty Images Crabtree’s particular talent in interpreting the fashion of Atwood’s dystopian novel is all the more obvious here, given that the exhibition happens to coincide with a neighboring show at SCAD FASH dedicated to the unabashedly optimistic designs of Pierre Car...
In the final episode of the first season of The Handmaid’s Tale , Elisabeth Moss , as the protagonist Offred, delivers a line that perfectly encapsulates the underlying themes of the series, as well as the potentially paradoxical psychological effects of its costumes: “They should never have given us uniforms if they didn’t want us to be an army.” RELATED: The Handmaid's Tale Season 1 Recap That scene sprang to mind on Monday, walking into the SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film in Atlanta, where an exhibition opens this week dedicated to the powerful, message-laden costumes created for The Handmaid’s Tale by the fabulously gifted designer Ane Crabtree. “Dressing for Dystopia,” as the exhibition is called, faithfully recreates the color-defined class aesthetics of the series and details its adaptation from the 1985 Margaret Atwood novel . Darkly lit displays represent the uniforms of the Handmaids, the Marthas, the Unwomen, and the sinister Aunts (one...

As part of its ongoing involvement in the development of designers, Ssense is currently championing Marine Serre – who won the LVMH Prize last year – and the London-based label Kwaidan Editions. “We see ourselves as a sponsor for creative talent and a place that supports people, who are challenging convention and who are moving fashion and culture forward. This place is an excellent platform to allow us to creative special events with those people and showcase this for the customer. It’s a place we can really build our community,” Atallah reflected. Asked if the outré cultural defiance embodied by an artist like Arca might be too niche for some customers, the Ssense founder said it was basically the point. “When you are supporting people, who are challenging the conventions, it’s not going to be for everybody. But those are the people influencing fashion and culture, and it’s going to take time to trickle down to the general public.” Ssense Montréal opens to the public on May 3rd.
Inspired by the unrealised ideas of innovator Cedric Price, whose ‘Fun Palace’ was the early blueprint for the Centre Pompidou, Ssense Montréal comes with a top floor café and will host book clubs and other interactive events. “I’ve been kind of obsessed with things that happen on the margins,” Koch said. “We can read what happens in London, Paris or New York, but not in cities like Montréal, Portland or Belgrade. A lot of the content we do for this place would work whether you’re in Paris, Montréal or Seoul. Ssense operates in a field that’s completely globalised. It’s a mixture between local sensibilities and global ambitions. The idea is that there will be more spaces like this worldwide, so you would always have a mix of local content – trying to correspond with the city – and stuff that can work globally. What I find so charming is that this building is here in Montréal. It’s a sentimental thing. That’s my theory but I cherish that idea.” As far as Atallah was concerned, “I have a...
In profiling themselves through an alternative artist like Arca – whose performance was created in collaboration with Prada with whom he has also launched a capsule collection available on ssense.com – they reflect the increasingly underground-to-mainstream progression of a new generation of consumers. “When you look at the data of Ssense, what says most is Gucci , Balenciaga and Off-White , who somehow have created a relevance among millennials and Generation Z, who now drive all the sales,” Joerg Koch told me. The founder of the Berlin-based cult magazine 032c, he has served as editor-in-chief of Ssense for nearly three years, rethinking the ways retailers create editorial content. “These brands communicate in different ways than traditional luxury houses. For me it’s interesting to see this: either you get it or you don’t get it, and the brands that don’t get it are like luxury zombies. Their business model is dying out.” As an outsider looking in on Ssense the message is...
Interaction has long been the nut to crack for retailers, who strive to unite their physical and digital platforms. Illustrating how to get customers through the door, Ssense rang in the stark five-storey, 13,000 square-foot space designed by David Chipperfield Architects with a performance by Arca on Thursday evening. Dressed in a skimpy outfit comprised of rubber, latex and vinyl, the electronic artist slithered his way up and down the stairs and around the art installations – a pink pool filled with jasmine flowers, a fetish cage on a runway, a stockpile of cords and microphones – chanting emotional ballads in a brilliant performance that set the Ssense agenda. Founded in 2003 by three Syrian immigrant engineer brothers, the retailer was among the first to support designers like Vetements ’ Demna Gvasalia and Off-White’s Virgil Abloh, who have gone on to conquer Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton , respectively. “It feels like a huge validation of what we set out to...
or someone who feels neither millennial nor archaic when it comes to shopping, I may have found my retail corner in the most unlikely of places. This weekend I travelled to Montréal to witness the opening of Ssense Montréal, the Canadian online retailer’s new interactive shopping space on 418 rue Saint Sulpice. Its concept is simple yet original: you select your items of interest on ssense.com, they are transported from the warehouse to the space, and the next day they’re lined up on a personalised rail for you to try on in person. “We’ve realised that this is how a lot of people want to shop,” Ssense founder Rami Atallah told me. “It’s physically impossible to put 20,000 different styles into one space, but now people can select what they want from the comfort of their own home and when they get to the space everything is already ready for them.” If you, like I, are the kind of online shopper, who never gets around to returning items you don’t want, or the kind of physical shopper,...
