Signature Alexis Mabille: The Dress Every Woman Should Own

Alexis Mabill e's gown made such an impact on the runway during couture fashion week and encapsulates the designer's penchant for mixing masculine and feminine codes. This tuxedo-inspired piece is cut from satin-piqué with an off-the-shoulder neckline and full skirt that's pleated for extra volume. The sweetheart bodice is accented with lustrous lapels and internally boned for structure. Make the most of the high-low hem and showcase your favourite heels. net-a-porter.com Alexis Mabille's skirt is defined by the signature knotted sash that creates the illusion of a pair of sleeves around the waist.

Schiaparelli HAND DRAWN COUTURE

Schiaparelli Fall/Winter 2024 Haute Couture illustrated by Daniel Roseberry. This quote, with its stark honesty and dedication to artistic truth, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Elsa Schiaparelli. She, too, was a revolutionary, a master of reinvention, pushing the boundaries of fashion and art with an audacious disregard for convention. Nine years after her arrival on the scene, Schiaparelli, already a legend in her own right, appeared at the Ambassadeurs restaurant gala in a gown painted by Dunand, a bold statement of her unique artistry. The coq-feathered stole draped around her shoulders was an homage to the legendary ballerina Anna Pavlova, a reminder of Schiaparelli's own transformative power. Unlike Pavlova's swan, Schiaparelli was a phoenix, rising from the ashes, constantly reinventing herself and, in turn, revolutionizing fashion. This collection, an ode to Schiaparelli's enduring legacy, embodies that spirit of reinvention. Each piece is a testament to her ...

The History of Vogue Covers: Art, Fashion, and the Legends Behind the Pages

For over 130 years, Vogue has stood as the undisputed bible of fashion, its covers serving as a visual chronicle of style, culture, and societal shifts. More than just a glossy facade, each Vogue cover is a carefully crafted piece of art, a reflection of the times, and a testament to the visionary talents who brought them to life. From exquisite illustrations to groundbreaking photography, the history of Vogue covers is a journey through the evolution of both art and fashion. The Vogue cover has never been just a page — it is a statement, a cultural artifact, a promise that beyond this gateway lies the pulse of fashion, art, and society. From delicate illustrations to the cutting-edge digital designs of today, the history of Vogue covers reflects not only the evolution of aesthetics but also the spirit of each era.

When Vogue Was Painted: The Magic of Illustrated Covers

Long before fashion became a digital swirl of pixels and high-gloss photography, Vogue covers were painted — not shot. These early covers were hand-drawn artworks that captured more than just clothes. They told stories. They reflected eras. They evoked emotion with a stroke of ink or a splash of watercolor. From the magazine’s earliest issues in the early 1900s through the 1930s, Vogue was graced with illustrated covers that felt like windows into a dream. Fashion illustration wasn’t just decoration — it was fine art, blending elegance with imagination.

Miss Dior: The Secret Resistance Heroine Who Inspired an Iconic Fragrance

Before she became a muse, she was a fighter. In the shadows of Nazi-occupied France, a young woman named Catherine Dior chose danger over silence. She was not just the sister of legendary couturier Christian Dior—she was a fierce and fearless agent of the French Resistance, enduring unspeakable torture and surviving the horrors of concentration camps. Her strength, courage, and grace would later become the invisible heart of one of the world’s most beloved perfumes: Miss Dior. Miss Dior amphora, Baccarat crystal, 1951. Photo: Philippe Schlienger “It’s a perfume that smells like love,” Christian Dior once said of Miss Dior. But behind its blooming floral bouquet lies a darker origin story—one of war, resistance, and resilience. The Woman Behind the Name Catherine Dior was born in 1917, the youngest daughter of a once-wealthy family whose fortunes had crumbled. In 1941, in Cannes, a simple act of buying a radio changed her life—and may have helped change the course of history. Radio...

MUST HAVE FW'17: TOP the Sweaters you’re Buying Now

Fall is here—finally! After months of high-degree temperatures and stifling humidity, we’re actually looking forward to a chill breeze, and we don’t even mind that everything is suddenly pumpkin-flavored. Great sweaters are the foundation of every fall wardrobe. Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini captures the joyful vibe of the '60s for the Pre-Fall '17 collection. Part of the feminine lineup, this cable-knit sweater is spun from a wool-blend that's flecked with colorful yarns for a mélange effect. Army-green ruffles cascade along the bodice, cuffs and hem. We love how Lemaire has transformed the classic black turtleneck sweater into something fresh using subtle detailing. This wool style is ribbed to highlight the smallest part of your waist before gently flaring into a peplum hem. The sleeves are slightly puffed for volume at the shoulders. Chloé's '70s-inspired Pre-Fall '17 collection is made up of earthy palettes like the rich brick hue of this sweater. Defined ...
