Case in point: Her voluminous Jean Paul Gaultier gown on the 2022 VMAs red carpet.

Photography by Gotham/GC Images Potato sack, but make it fashion. By Natalie Michie Date August 26, 2022 Facebook Twitter For me, larger-than-life slouchy boots are kind of like horror movies. When I see them, I can’t look away. And out of fear, I respect them. But that doesn’t mean I have to like them. Naturally, seeing these bodacious boots back in vogue leaves me with mixed emotions. Rihanna was the first to mark their return. On a recent outing with partner A$AP Rocky, the beauty mogul donned a pair of...

While eco-conscious Europeans from Amsterdam to Antwerp have long favoured two wheels, trendsetters flocking to Copenhagen Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2023 proved that good taste and the ever-practical bicycle don’t have to be mutually exclusive. So, how do you look cute when you’re pedalling away? Shorts and pants still rule Copenhagen’s streets, but almost anything goes including skirts and dresses that...
