VERSACE AW2022 Women Runway Collection - mylifestylenews Top 10's Pick

Versace AW2023  Women runway collection is never shy or retiring and has a powerful and seductive sense of mystery, shifting in and out of sight. With unapologetic certainty she fully owns her allure and knows exactly when to unleash her power.

It is a regal rebel and the Energy seems to erupt throughout the collection, as signature Versace tweeds fray, unravel and drip in crystal and metal chains, while raw female force is seemingly caught and enhanced through tightly cinched waists.

Latex gloves and knee height boots flirt with the subversive. Typically regal pearl jewelry is disrupted by sharp punk spikes, and pin sharp pumps are finished in a latex like brushed leather with metal heels.

The unmistakable Atelier Versace bustier is at the collection’s core. Its flourishes are pared back and modernized as it is incorporated into sculptural outerwear and sportswear shapes. Silhouettes are seductive and fully empowered as the bustier is revealed under open suiting, or momentarily glimpsed beneath exaggerated overcoats.

The bustier can be seen both as forceful protective armor and overtly provocative, giving a sense of agency to the wearer. The collection smoulders in deep red, plum, charcoal, and black, with flashes of avocado, pink and DV blue setting looks ablaze. Textures continue the collection’s play on contrast.

Outerwear featuring the La Greca motif in close shaved sheepskin is teamed with tantalizing latex tops and leggings, and a new knit bomber jack et shape cocoons the wearer.

The new Greca Goddess line of bags and accessories harnesses Versace’s culture of myth and luxury, with the brand’s Greca motif sitting harmoniously as central golden hardware and chain shoulder straps.

The central symbol features across a h and slip, allowing the bag to be tightly snatched in the hand and carried for more impulsive styling.

“Our cast of Versace Women for AW2022 is exciting. Girls like Avanti, Anyier and Tilly perfectly represent a Versace with new generation attitude and they champion diversity. They embody the energy running through the collection and the looks built on contrast and tension like an elastic band pulled tight and about to snap back with a build up of energy. That feeling is just irresistible to me. It opens new possibilities and makes things happen.” - DONATELLA VERSACE

Loro Piana AW2022/23 Advertising Campaign

Loro Piana AW2022/23 Advertising Campaign features the powerful portraits by Mario Sorrenti. Set in Bretagne and starring Mona Tougaard, Edie Campbell and Leon Dame, the shots portray images and emotions of a journey that will forever endure in the heart of the explorer and of the viewer. That is because the cold wind of northern France whips the thoughts, reveals the tactile marvels of the maison's craftsmanship and creates a unique bond between the clothes and the surroundings.

Crafted from the best that nature has to offer - wool, cashmere, alpaca, shearling - the garments themselves seem to emerge from the landscape with grace and power, inviting one to look at the world with respect, curiosity and a spirit of adventure, without compromising on a wardrobe that is essential and versatile but equally sensorial and tailored, with whispered elegance.

Loro Piana proposes iconic clothes and accessories in a modern key, through attitude and volumes, and explores new frontiers of style with innovative fabrics and sensorial and dynamic silhouettes, in perfect balance of masculine and feminine, refinement and functionality, superlative quality and absolute comfort.

This is the dichotomy with which Sorrenti observes the two souls of Bretagne, the Armorica and the Argot, the ocean and the land, the sea and the forests, the blizzards and the tranquillity. On one side the shadow on the other the light, on one side the majestic sky on the other the endless horizon, inhabited by waves that come and go to leave an indelible mark on the coast.

In this spontaneous and continuous dialogue between these two universes, Loro Piana's explorers enter on tiptoes. The images capture their most intimate and reflective moments, and those more free, in total reconciliation with nature. Similarly, the clothes marry the spirit, volumes and colours of the place - the green of the seaweed and valleys, the blue of the ocean, the white and beige of the cliffs - enveloping the body with delicacy, strength and refinement. Personality prevails over appearance, with that sense of lightness that belongs to the maison.

DIOR AW2022 Advertising Campaign

DIOR AW2022 Advertising Campaign celebrates The Next Era, the mesmerizing Mariella Bettineschi work that served as the backdrop for the défilé.

A gallery of female portraits borrowed from the history of painting from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century becomes the starting point for a reflection on the views that have conditioned women from yesterday to today.

Through the lens of photographer Brigitte Niedermair, the models echo these iconic figures, embodying the experimental audacity of the collection amid a hushed decor subtly evoking that of a cabinet of curiosities.

From clothing to accessories, the creations transform the Dior legacy by blending aesthetics and technology.

The emblematic Bar jacket is adorned with technical inserts created in collaboration with Italian start-up D-Air lab - an innovative Italian start-up founded in 2015 by Lino Dainese. Architect Silvia Dainese Gris is leading this special project for Dior, while reinterpretations of the Dior Bobby, Lady Dior and Lady D-Joy bags through the prism of modernity exalt the ateliers’ virtuoso savoir-faire.

These images that symbolize power, strength and passion stand as an ode to Dior’s inventiveness, linking past, present and future.

別人說我太瘋癲

颠覆传统、持续革新、前瞻理念、刻意地性感、叛逆玩味的实验主义等浓浓的潮味效应，统统皆是DIESEL新上任的创意总监Glenn Martens为品牌（同名自家品牌亦是如此独特颠丧）打造的首个实体时装展。设计师赋予品牌无穷新力量，不再死守于刻板Denim牛仔造型，将之演变成更Avant Garde的设计，充分诠释解读DIESEL世界的独特魅力，创造时尚新浪潮。

DIESEL 2022秋冬系列分为四个篇章：牛仔服饰、功能性设计、流行元素与工艺。牛仔裤多采用颠覆性的腰部设计，看似仅一绳牵引，实则内附隐藏式腰带，集结巧妙的视觉感官，钩扣的性感魅惑、错视图案的玩味乐趣和不对称的设计及实用元素结合，与多样材质互相融合，于碰撞和反差间营造出不同质感与趣味，令每套造型皆随性和出众，引领潮流新指标。系列设计更不乏缀以多功能腰带的不规则蓝色短款背心和仿如短裙的超大码牛仔腰带，大部分牛仔单品皆源自DIESEL Library系列，彰显品牌坚持使用环保牛仔布的核心理念与决心。

 

系列当中采用了做旧牛仔效果的提花针织长裤及缀满做旧牛仔错视图案的植绒牛仔单品，虚幻地造就出更立体的效果。而部分外套及风衣更加入了独特涂层处理，令衣服保持坚挺，同时散发光泽，增添玩味。舒适平坦街坊LOOK的连帽卫衣亦被演变成充满狂野动感的连身裙，采用了雪纺镶条与抽绳拼接分割设计，令整体曲线更显夺目。其他连帽卫衣及运动裤则于颈部与脚踝采用镂空设计，露出颇具层次感的内搭衣服。钩扣锁紧的金属质感迷你裙与针织外套，点缀了DIESEL典藏印花的柔软植绒系带上衣和迷你裙，饰以品牌标志的运动风连帽卫衣与长裤，而羊毛棒球外套为双面穿设计，具更多功能，轻易配搭，无论是运动与出席派对皆宜，可穿性甚高。

 

设计师为演绎流行元素，在裙装上大胆运用金属粉红色，以涂层针织面料制成并于胸前点缀「D」字logo，让设计顿时变得夺目耀眼，成为焦点。套衫加入了牛仔元素，刻意营造出一种「剥落」般质感，所呈现的视觉效果就如从墙面揭下层层海报贴纸；Organza单品以缩褶工艺升级再造，创造出质感轻盈的超短款连身裙，同时配以长袖、低胸、露肩的大胆设计；牛仔布经人手剪碎并拼接成环状，制成带有人造毛皮效果的外套。

 

本季首次采用经循环再用的牛仔布、棉花及弹力棉制作服饰，同时运用无水靛蓝染色技术。品牌以「修复」理念为核心，将生产过程所产生的剩余物料制造成全新纱线，并携手可持续织物生产商Tejidos Royo推出既创新、又积极正面的全新产品线：DIESEL Rehab Denim。另外，新推出升级版运动鞋Prototype CR采用交叉鞋带设计，与女装高跟靴鞋跟的带状图案相映成趣，营造包裹式的视觉效果。高跟凉鞋的足尖上方与金属光泽手袋上皆印有同款「D」字logo，同时延申到腰包、背囊与斜背袋等配件。这种Extremely Fanatic的时尚思维和态度，瞬间焕新，也是品牌长久以来的坚持的纯粹理念 - For Successful Living 地纵享人生。别人或许说他太疯癫，他只笑说你们看不穿。你要如何去深究解读，适随尊便！

MICHAEL KORS AW2022 Advertising Campaign

 

MICHAEL KORS AW2022 Advertising Campaign photographed in New York City by renowned Dutch duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

The campaign captures supermodels Adut Akech and Rianne Van Rompaey as they hit the town in this season’s most glamorous styles. Bold, confident and chic, the imagery celebrates the allure of New York City with luxe extravagance.

"For fall, I wanted the collection to echo the energy and big city glamour of New York, when you’re out on the town,” says Michael Kors. “The clothes and accessories are really everything you need for stepping up, stepping out and making an entrance.”

Playing with the art of revealing and concealing of being both provocative and covered up the collection includes short and long hemlines, sharp tailoring, dramatic hoods and skin-baring cutouts.

The palette ranges from camel, chocolate, black and white to electric fuchsia and taxicab yellow, while menswear tweeds and lush faux furs play against gleaming paillettes and glittering crystal embroidery for a wardrobe that defines timeless urban polish.

Also making its debut with this collection is the Campbell travel satchel, crafted from luxe Italian leather and designed to be the ultimate carryall. The season’s other must-have handbag: the Christie envelope, a statement fold-over Italian leather clutch for day-to-night glamour.

ANYA TAYLOR-JOY @ Newest Ambassador of Jaeger-LeCoultre

Jaeger-LeCoultre announced Anya Taylor-Joy as their new Ambassador for the Maison recently, marking her debut with a short video A Call of the Heart, based on a symbolic phone call welcoming her into La Grande Maison. The video was inspired by an historic phone call that was to have a profound impact on the Manufacture LeCoultre. In 1903, Jacques-David LeCoultre made a call to the Parisian watchmaker Edmond Jaeger to accept the latter’s challenge of creating an ultra-thin watch movement – and so began a long and fruitful collaboration that led to the formation of the Jaeger-LeCoultre company.

Recognised as one of the most exciting talents of her generation, Anya Taylor-Joy is the living embodiment of modern femininity. Her on-screen presence has a mercurial quality – otherworldly yet intensely present, fearless but vulnerable, innocent yet dangerous.

“The encounter with Anya was meant to be. Her long family history with polo and interest in watchmaking led us to a natural partnership”, says Catherine Rénier, the CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre. “With her ethereal beauty, her sensitivity, her talent and hardworking ethics, she embodies the values and style of our Maison.”

Born in Miami to British-Argentine parents, and raised in Buenos Aires and London, the 26-year-old actress won rave reviews for her breakout performance in Robert Egger’s The Witch in 2016. A series of critically-acclaimed roles followed and, in 2020, the Netflix hit The Queen’s Gambit shot her star into the stratosphere; her mesmerising portrayal of Beth Harmon won her a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors’ Guild award and a Critics’ Choice award. This was followed by major roles in Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho and Robert Eggers’ The Northman, and she will next be seen in David O. Russell’s Amsterdam with Christian Bale and Margot Robbie, as well as Mark Mylod’s comedy-horror The Menu with Ralph Fiennes and Nicholas Hoult. Anya is currently filming Furiosa, the Mad Max prequel.
