And the era’s looks are just as monumental as its source text. In the “Cellophane” video the singer pole dances through the epic highs and lows of love in a gilded bikini wrought by frequent collaborator Ed Marler. The video for “Sad Day” pays homage to a fantasical Chinese opera genre called wuxia, its two protagonists sword-fighting above London in an allegory for a relationship at its bitter end. In lieu of the traditional Chinese Hanfu, twigs wears a billowing Burberry trench coat that fits right into the video’s desolate backstreet setting, the proverbial end of the road.” Read more https://zoekendall.cargo.site/Meet-Lucky-Jewel-the-cult-New-York-art-collective-taking-on-fashion Wed, 27 Dec 2023 21:38:10 +0000 Zoë Kendall https://zoekendall.cargo.site/Meet-Lucky-Jewel-the-cult-New-York-art-collective-taking-on-fashion 2. “Meet Lucky Jewel, the cult New York art collective taking on fashion” <img width="1400" height="787" width_o="1400" height_o="787" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5aa4d3d9ec795f80f92d13ea9a8e6a8a45ecfbc9e3ed4aecf3df9886f7bcc956/lucky-jewel.png" data-mid="200218166" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5aa4d3d9ec795f80f92d13ea9a8e6a8a45ecfbc9e3ed4aecf3df9886f7bcc956/lucky-jewel.png" />“It’s three days before their debut runway show and the Lucky Jewel girls can’t stop giggling. Even as I beam into their Ridgewood studio, the giddiness is palpable. Designers Olive Woodward and Shay Gallagher are digging into racks of clothing, with Lola Dement Myers egging them on from an adjacent Zoom window. “Wait, show her the video of the masking tape pants,” one of them says. “Or the shoes that are covered in cement,” says another, voice indistinguishable amidst the chorus of increasingly absurd suggestions, which include foam miniskirts and cardboard briefcases. A moment later, when the mirth has subsided, Shay says, with a dawning realisation, “Lucky Jewel is… funny”. All three dissolve into laughter, once again. This is what Lucky Jewel has always been about: friendship, fun, and, yes, fashion.” Read more https://zoekendall.cargo.site/Di-Petsa-s-heat-reactive-clothing-encourages-you-to-touch-yourself Wed, 27 Dec 2023 21:40:18 +0000 Zoë Kendall https://zoekendall.cargo.site/Di-Petsa-s-heat-reactive-clothing-encourages-you-to-touch-yourself 3. “Di Petsa's heat-reactive clothing encourages you to touch yourself” <img width="1400" height="787" width_o="1400" height_o="787" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c8fc1562d7231e84b14fcfb8d387ce93c6114901135446941a0a9a4ce08a029c/di-petsa.png" data-mid="200218178" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c8fc1562d7231e84b14fcfb8d387ce93c6114901135446941a0a9a4ce08a029c/di-petsa.png" />“Last year, we emerged from our homes with excited trepidation and the wholesome gains of lockdown. We dabbled in post-quarantine sobriety, we dined al-fresco and we wore homely crochet. This summer, however, rather than hitting the parks, we’re going out, where the bars are teeming with martinis, the sidewalks are hazy with cigarette smoke, and the clubs are, once again, radiating with body heat… remember that? From our collective yearning — for closeness, for pleasure, for fun — the ‘touch-me’ dress has emerged as one of SS22’s sexiest trends. Last week, a heat-reactive dress from Greek label Di Petsa ignited an exothermic reaction across social media, a cathartic outpouring of spring’s horny energy. Crafted from a sleek leatherette engineered to “hold imprints of heat [...] from a hand, a hug, a kiss,” the viral garment — and others like it — conjure sweaty dancefloors, vodka-soaked kisses, and grinding with sexy strangers. It calls for skin contact.”&nbsp; Read more https://zoekendall.cargo.site/A-brief-history-of-horny-jewellery Thu, 27 Jan 2022 15:35:15 +0000 Zoë Kendall https://zoekendall.cargo.site/A-brief-history-of-horny-jewellery 5. “A brief history of horny jewellery” <img width="1440" height="810" width_o="1440" height_o="810" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2795ef6ab77ba5561c8c871e874b827f8e6c9c58af9a31bb18dc7151e80d46f7/jewellery.png" data-mid="131660139" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2795ef6ab77ba5561c8c871e874b827f8e6c9c58af9a31bb18dc7151e80d46f7/jewellery.png" />“It’s easy to see why the trappings of love have been, primarily, bound to the hands: they connect us to others and, through them, we convey our deepest affections. There’s the hand that caresses, reaches, entwines and strokes. The palm that cups the lover’s face; the thumb that brushes a stray tear, an eyelash. After all, the fourth finger is the only appendage named after its given accessory: the wedding ring.”Read more https://zoekendall.cargo.site/How-crochet-became-this-summer-s-sexiest-trend Wed, 23 Jun 2021 21:07:07 +0000 Zoë Kendall https://zoekendall.cargo.site/How-crochet-became-this-summer-s-sexiest-trend 6. “How crochet became this summer’s sexiest trend” <img width="2000" height="1123" width_o="2000" height_o="1123" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c8a4216475dbfa2b54935d3bfabf698193c53d43facbfb915dfa1621b9b8b7c9/crochet.png" data-mid="112176959" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c8a4216475dbfa2b54935d3bfabf698193c53d43facbfb915dfa1621b9b8b7c9/crochet.png" />“The last year-and-a-half’s lockdowns have seen us all get cozy inside our homes. We’ve perfected our infits and our Zoom looks. We’ve taken up hobbies like sourdough baking and crocheting. We’ve spent copious amounts of time cooking for ourselves, and perhaps sprucing up our at-home dining environs with doilies and tablecloths. But it’s now summer 2021: Covid vaccines are steadily rolling out; clubs and bars are slowly reopening; the outside world is calling us. Of course the “going out” dress is a stalwart choice for dressing up and re-entering the world post-lockdown. But from the confines and comforts of home comes the after dark staple’s summer 2021 counterpart: sexy crochet.” Read more https://zoekendall.cargo.site/How-corsets-took-over-the-world Mon, 25 May 2020 16:13:14 +0000 Zoë Kendall https://zoekendall.cargo.site/How-corsets-took-over-the-world 7. “How corsets took over the world” <img width="1250" height="702" width_o="1250" height_o="702" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/50ab7ebf1d63cefacdcd0c0e7d7ddbf698a30f58a907aef869adfc94d27477af/corset.png" data-mid="104176120" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/50ab7ebf1d63cefacdcd0c0e7d7ddbf698a30f58a907aef869adfc94d27477af/corset.png" /> “It’s 48 hours before the Met Gala and Kim Kardashian-West is being strapped into the final fitting of her Thierry Mugler wet-look dress. And I’m using “strapped in” quite literally, here. As she speaks to Vogue’s cameras about the inspiration behind the look (“[Mugler] is, like, the king of camp”), she’s being laced into a corset by three—count them, three— people. And she looks visibly uncomfortable—eyes glazing over a little bit, letting out vocalized sighs, you can see her mind buffering as she speaks, she’s leaving ellipses between words.” Read more https://zoekendall.cargo.site/How-cottagecore-became-this-season-s-most-idyllic-trend Wed, 23 Jun 2021 21:15:23 +0000 Zoë Kendall https://zoekendall.cargo.site/How-cottagecore-became-this-season-s-most-idyllic-trend 8. “How cottagecore became this summer’s most idyllic trend” <img width="2000" height="1123" width_o="2000" height_o="1123" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/315339730008d5739d93e77f813cc8fb5205eb25aa3cb2c05eff2c884cd3c804/cottagecore.png" data-mid="112178155" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/315339730008d5739d93e77f813cc8fb5205eb25aa3cb2c05eff2c884cd3c804/cottagecore.png" />“Sometime last Spring—perhaps May, but it’s hard to pinpoint, the way the zeitgeist sneaks up slowly, then all at once—my Instagram Explore page began cropping up with rolling green meadows, blooming with wildflowers and bustling with herds and herds of baby farm animals: loll-tongued kids, shaggy calves and curly-eared ewes. Soon, these images, and the idyllic lifestyle they conjured, were all I could think about. As another glaring metropolitan summer rolled around, I was daydreaming of quitting my corporate job, leaving the city and moving on to the greener pastures behind the iPhone screen. Turns out I was not alone. Just over a month later, during men’s fashion week, Parisian designer Jacquemus fled the French capital—trailed by crowds of editors and influencers—to a lavender farm in Valensole, where he would hold his spring/summer 20 runway show.” Read More https://zoekendall.cargo.site/How-the-infit-became-the-most-ubiquitous-and-unexpected-trend Thu, 07 May 2020 15:21:50 +0000 Zoë Kendall https://zoekendall.cargo.site/How-the-infit-became-the-most-ubiquitous-and-unexpected-trend 9. “How the infit became the most ubiquitous (and unexpected) trend” <img width="1250" height="702" width_o="1250" height_o="702" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2d4bbf33ec930683ed2867684ba40dacd2ca26acb32597b413f02a14018a856d/infit.png" data-mid="104176232" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2d4bbf33ec930683ed2867684ba40dacd2ca26acb32597b413f02a14018a856d/infit.png" /> “On May 23, 2012 prolific Twitter user and Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig published a tweet that would stay with me for the better part of a decade: “just learned the important distinction btwn an outfit (something u can legally wear outside) and an infit (something fresh but 4 home only).” What interested me -- and continues to do so -- was this new term, ‘infit’, which gave name to a category of clothing that had always existed, albeit somewhat nebulously and, well, namelessly.” Read more https://zoekendall.cargo.site/The-Balenciaga-Motorcycle-Bag-is-Forever Wed, 27 Dec 2023 21:42:03 +0000 Zoë Kendall https://zoekendall.cargo.site/The-Balenciaga-Motorcycle-Bag-is-Forever 1. “The Balenciaga Motorcycle Bag is Forever”<img width="1280" height="853" width_o="1280" height_o="853" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a40481331ef91214c3be4744dd4b9917301a143c2dc4ba800d573298b16d20a7/balenciaga.png" data-mid="200218271" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a40481331ef91214c3be4744dd4b9917301a143c2dc4ba800d573298b16d20a7/balenciaga.png" />“It’s been almost two decades since I first laid eyes on the Balenciaga Motorcycle bag. It was 2004, to be exact, and the bag was hooked in the crook of Mary-Kate Olsen’s arm. The paparazzi shot in question was taken during the zenith of the Olsens’ NYU years, when the twins were the epitome of downtown cool, and the Motorcycle, their emblem. I was 13, and from behind the screen of my family’s desktop computer, I coveted the bag feverishly. Nearly 20 years later, the Motorcycle, now called the City, still holds the same pull — not just for myself, but for a generation of fashion fans.” Read more https://zoekendall.cargo.site/The-Miu-Miu-Girl-Has-Always-Had-It Wed, 27 Dec 2023 21:45:31 +0000 Zoë Kendall https://zoekendall.cargo.site/The-Miu-Miu-Girl-Has-Always-Had-It 2. “The Miu Miu Girl Has Always Had ‘It’” <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b88d7e17b501256d0c77340434460c00e76b57e8c5f9e7e15dd7a139c8d1c2d9/miumiu.png" data-mid="200218343" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b88d7e17b501256d0c77340434460c00e76b57e8c5f9e7e15dd7a139c8d1c2d9/miumiu.png" />“By now, in the wake of a zeitgeist-defining Spring/Summer 2022 collection, the world is well-acquainted with the Miu Miu muse. In her cropped cable knit and chino miniskirt — the “Miu Miu set” that took over the fashion world — she’s girlish and garçonne, she’s devilish and demure, she’s effervescent and erudite. More than merely multitudinous, the Miu Miu muse is a tangle of contradictions, all wrapped up in a sweet satin bow.” Read more
