Victoria Beckham Shares Her Love for the Canadian Tuxedo With New Autumn 2021 Collection
Victoria Beckham presented its autumn/winter 2021 fashion show at London’s Hayward Gallery, located in the Southbank Centre on Saturday, 13 Feb. Continuing the brand’s theme of strong tailoring paired with delicate dresses, VB’s new collection is about dressing for comfort and protection in uncertain times. There’s a militant approach to Victoria Beckham autumn 2021, with the theme explored in a palette of navy, red, black, and white with oversize suiting and gold-embossed military-style buttons. The utilitarian theme is meant to complement our need for protection, while also channeling our longing for comfort — as seen in loose-fitting paper bag trousers and more fluid pieces that connect to the delicate side of the VB woman. The bold red and bright pinks of the co...

7 Spring 2021 Fashion Trends That We Can’t Wait to Wear Outside
The best fashion trends for spring and summer 2021 show us that how we find style inspiration has become much more diverse. The London Fashion Week catwalk will always give trends their official validation, but we can’t leave out the sartorial impact of pivotal political moments of the past year and the stylish television and film characters that are giving us our fashion fix through lockdown. For spring 2021, we picked seven standout fashion trends that we are buzzing to wear for the warmer months ahead and why they’re worth adding to your wardrobe. “Fashion flossing” is becoming a popular term in editorial and refers to brands like Charlotte Knowles, Victoria Beckham, and Roksanda that are using delicate spaghetti straps and drawstrings details to give a subtle, &...
9 Fashion Designers That Everyone Will Be Talking About at London Fashion Week 2021
London Fashion Week is officially starting its new chapter this February. Instead of forecasting what we will be wearing in autumn and winter 2021, the British Fashion Council will use LFW February to give us some style inspiration for the spring and summer months that we’re all chuffed about. Taking place from Friday, 19 Feb. to Tuesday, 23 Feb., London Fashion Week February 2021 will feature both womenswear and menswear collections for a genderless (and soon to be seasonless) appreciation of innovative clothing design. Fashion shows, short films, and some exclusive chats with industry leaders will be accessible to everyone with an internet connection through the London Fashion Week digital platform — with a few physical activations being hosted in and around London.

London Fashion Week Was Equal Parts Inspiring and Disappointing
Rixo SS21 London Fashion Week looked very different this season, and in a way it also looked the same. As we move deeper into the digital era, and wrestle with the social ills of our times, some fashion brands stepped up to the plate, while others were expectedly tone-deaf. The trends that we’ll be seeing in spring and summer 2021 are always at the centre of the conversation, but this season we’re also exploring how digital limitations and social expectations are creating a greater demand for narrative and vision. “Digital Fashion Week has shifted our focus from how the clothes look and who will be wearing them, to what the clothes mean and who will be making them” London Fashion Week being forced to go fully digital was a new challenge for designers. The virtual ex...
Butterfly Tops Will Replace Puff Sleeves Next Summer, According to Charlotte Knowles’s New Collection
Charlotte Knowles counts Hunter Schafer, Kylie Jenner, Solange Knowles, and Bella Hadid as fans of its intricately layered, lingerie-inspired designs. For Spring/Summer 2021, Creative Directors Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault want to offer “optimism and hope” in uncertain times. Their new collection, Petals, features the brand’s signature lingerie and dancewear-inspired designs with a brutalist take on florals, seen through a Western lens. Petals was showcased digitally for London Fashion Week via a fashion film created by acclaimed London-based photographer Harley Weir. The meaning of the collection is reflected in the film, which shows models spinning continuously on a revolving platform that is interrupted intermittently by time-lapse footage of the life cycl...
Victoria Beckham’s Spring 2021 Collection Has Us Dreaming of Drawstring Dresses
Victoria Beckham‘s Spring/Summer 2021 digital fashion show was hosted at North London’s Victoria Miro art gallery, where she had initially planned for an in-person showcase, but rescheduled days before the event as it seemed inappropriate. Moments before the show streamed, Beckham explained that the new VB woman is modern, forward looking, and always dreaming. The new collection is “a dream inspired by reality,” as she puts it, and introduces a relaxed fluidity to the strong tailoring and sharp colour that defines the brand. Ahead, we break down the standout looks and design trends that we will be wearing in 2021. Victoria Beckham SS21 is one of the brand’s most relatable collections to date. Beckham took current fashion trends like drawstring dresses and patc...
Burberry’s Spring 2021 Show Is About “Regrowth, Renewal, and the Circle of Life”
There was an understandable eeriness to Burberry’s Spring/Summer 2021 fashion show. The heritage brand opened London Fashion Week with a chat between Erykah Badu, Bella Hadid, Rosalía, and Steve Lacy that was surprisingly spiritual. Moderated by Badu, the pre-show got guests in a meditative, calming mood before the live stream presented a mix of performance art, and clothes that referenced the healing powers of water, the natural world, and society’s current confinement, excess, and emotional release. “The circle is hugely symbolic – regrowth, renewal, the circle of life,” says Burberry chief creative officer, Riccardo Tisci, in a press statement. “The collection is called In Bloom because I was thinking about regeneration, about dynamic youth, about nature co...

Burberry’s Next Fashion Show Is an Immersive Experience Set in the Great Outdoors
When Burberry didn’t feature in the British Fashion Council’s first London Fashion Week Digital, a few eagle-eyed fashion fans were left perplexed. But Britain’s premiere heritage house wasn’t going quiet; instead, it was planning something far more grand — an immersive fashion show set in the great (British) outdoors, accessible to all this September. Like many of us, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has inspired Burberry to muse about nature in all its purity and power. The brand’s Spring/Summer 2021 collection titled “Burberry in Nature” seeks to “redefine our fashion landscape with new forms of expression.” The brand’s creative director, Riccardo Tisci, explained in a press statement that “as humans, we have always had a...
