There are not too many Fashion Industry companies seemingly interested in using Fashion illustrators these days. When one looks through a current magazine, it is all about the photo. And what that photo captures, which goes way beyond the clothes. I have seen Nordstom’s adverts in Vogue magazines where Ruben Toledo, the husband of Fashion Designer Isabel Toledo is featured in multi-page spreads. I have also seen only his talent being used as backdrops with models featured in the foreground.

MEET FASHION ILLUSTRATOR LUCY TRUMAN

Before Andy Warhol was a “pop art” painter, he drew shoes. Lots and lots of shoes. He also famously said, “we will all be world famous for 15 minutes” (or at least, he’s purported to): a prediction that has eerily enough become almost true. Fashion illustrator Lucy Truman(@lucytruman_illustration) shares how she got her start, and about the people who have inspired her along the way.

A SOFTER SIDE

There was a time when a Celine red carpet dress was almost guaranteed to be covered in sequins, but Michael Rider has shifted the focus towards understated tailoring, as we’ve seen on Charlize Theron and now Maggie Gyllenhaal.

What saves this for me is the draping across the neckline and the fact that it feels right for her role as jury president. It has enough interest for a premiere without trying to compete with the evening’s more dramatic gowns.

WHITE IS HER OTHER NEUTRAL

Rooney Mara has long leaned towards sustainable labels, so seeing her in Stella McCartney Spring 2026 feels like a natural choice.

And if you’re surprised to see Rooney in white, don’t be. When she opts out of black, white is usually her next move. The clean lines and asymmetric draping are firmly within her minimalist wheelhouse, while the cut-out detail gives the look enough interest for a Venice photocall.

I’m expecting a return to black for this evening’s premiere, most likely Givenchy, but for daytime duties, this feels exactly right.

‘Proust is the godfather of fashion’: what writers’ clothes reveal about them

The title reads like a provocation: Legendary Authors and the Clothes They Wore. What? Shouldn’t authors, especially “legendary” ones, be exempt from fashion scrutiny? Surely we should look at their words, not their outfits. If they produced great works of art, who cares how they dressed?

The art of being ornamental

 

The Ladies Waldegrave is a group portrait painted by Joshua Reynolds between 1780 and 1781, now housed in the Scottish National Gallery, which acquired the painting in 1952. The work depicts the three daughters of James Waldegrave, 2nd Earl Waldegrave, and Maria Walpole. From left to right, they are Charlotte, holding a skein of silk; Elizabeth, winding Charlotte’s silk onto a card; and Anna, producing tambour lace

Rococo fashion, hyper-femininity, and the politics of spectacle in 18th-century aristocratic culture

Mariana Carrera Díaz de Ita
30 de July 2026

The Rococo period of the early to mid-18th century represents one of the most visually extravagant moments in Western fashion history. Emerging in France during the reign of Louis XV, Rococo aesthetics celebrated lightness, sensuality, artifice, and ornamental excess. Pastel silks, cascading ribbons, lace flounces, and architectural silhouettes transformed women into living embodiments of refinement and spectacle. Yet beneath this softness lay a complex system of power, performance, and social hierarchy. Rococo fashion was not merely about beauty—it was about visibility.

Dressing the woman within

Reclaiming sensuality and sexiness in style and self

22 October 2025

Having worked with many women over the years in fashion styling, I’ve noticed something striking. Most shy away from the word “sexy.” They say they prefer to be seen as “feminine,” “elegant,” or sometimes “sensual,” but almost never sexy. And yet, aren’t these just different expressions of the same experience? Different tones of the same music? It’s like a volume dial turning up from feminine to sensual to sexy. In truth, the word “sexy” doesn’t really exist on its own. It’s not something separate from us, a label we choose to wear or reject. It’s part of the much broader, richer experience of being a woman. When we resist the word, we’re often not rejecting our own sensuality; we’re rejecting what society has made the word mean. Because the problem isn’t the feeling, it’s the social consequences of embracing it.

A reflection on men, style, and identity crisis

More than ever, men seem to have lost their connection with style. That quiet but powerful language that once said everything before a man ever spoke.

Using style as a grounding and intentional practice for 2026

What does Chinese New Year have to do with style or fashion, apart from selling endless tons of decorative merchandising products in retail? What if there were a more meaningful correlation between the two? What if the way you dress in 2026 could influence how you move through your year, your decisions, your presence, your being, and even your state of mind?

Twenty-four-year-old Thien To, who makes clothes under the name Thien Venus Milo, is a designer to watch. This June, for her senior collection at Philadelphia’s Drexel University, To presented seven edgy and opulent couture looks in silk, satin, leather, and tulle, inspired by the story of Alice in Wonderland. Molding laser-cut plexiglass forms into leather and incorporating patterns used in welded iron railings into her red, white, and black designs, To created an imaginative eveningwear collection with ornate details.

In 2024, Hello Kitty celebrated its 50th anniversary, solidifying its presence as a global icon of fashion, beauty, and culture. Created by Sanrio in 1974, Hello Kitty started as a simple character, but its message of friendship, positivity, and inclusion transformed it into a cultural phenomenon. Over the decades, the mouthless kitten with a red bow has transcended the status of a children's mascot to become a figure present in more than 130 countries, with over 50,000 different products, ranging from toys and accessories to luxury items and beauty collaborations.

Sabrina Carpenter is someone who quickly transcended her Disney roots, establishing herself as one of today’s most influential young celebrities. Initially recognised for her role in Girl Meets World, she went beyond the stereotype of a teenager associated with a family-friendly brand and built a multifaceted career marked by music and fashion. But how did this transformation happen? And what role did fashion play in her journey?

Social media's impact on fashion trends

The redefining of consumption and culture through digital platforms

23 FEBRUARY 2025, 

LUCAS FRADE

With the fast expansion of social media, fashion has transformed into an agile, dynamic world where trends emerge and dissipate within days. The popularisation of platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest has not only changed how fashion is consumed but also accelerated its cycle, creating a growing demand for innovation and adaptability among brands. Today, social media is essential for companies of all sizes, which need to stay aware of changes to remain competitive in an extremely visual and ephemeral market. This new landscape reveals a fresh era in fashion, where the cycle of trends is constantly renewed, and immediacy sets the pace for consumption, challenging the traditional seasonal collection model.

Brazilian fashion has always been a reflection of our rich culture, full of colours, textures, and rhythms. When we think about 2025, what lies ahead? Will Brazilian fashion follow global trends or reinvent itself in a unique way? The truth is that the fashion scene in Brazil will continue to transform, bringing new opportunities and, of course, some challenges. So, what can we expect? Sustainability, new technologies, and an increasingly inclusive fashion are just a few of the paths that may gain strength in the future.

It's back: Gigi Hadid, a Victoria's Secret veteran, opened the 2024 show on its return after six years

The return of Victoria’s Secret 

Between nostalgia and the need for reinvention 

23 APRIL 2025, 

LUCAS FRADE

In 2024, Victoria’s Secret took a bold step in attempting to reclaim its prominence in fashion by relaunching its iconic lingerie show, which had been suspended since 2018. The hiatus was a response to intense criticism of the brand, accused of perpetuating an exclusionary and outdated beauty standard while the market and audience demanded diversity, inclusion, and authenticity. The return was surrounded by expectations and controversies but also raised questions about how much the company had truly evolved.
