Met Shows off Fashion Masterworks A new exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute is a stunning testament to the cyclical nature of fashion. In “Masterworks: Unpacking Fashion,” the museum shows off 60 of its most impressive pieces from the last three centuries, often juxtaposing newer outfits with the iconic silhouettes they echo. For instance, a sweeping scarlet coat with oversized lapels and exaggerated coattails from John Galliano’s spring/summer 2015 collection for Maison Margiela is paired with a circa 1780 red wool broadcloth French style that inspired Galliano. A 1994 Azzedine Alaia dress shares space with a 1950s-era Charles James evening dress. “The pairs show the way fashion is inspired and influenced by the past,” Assistant Curator Jessica Regan said at a press preview of the exhibit, which runs until Feb. 5. “The artistry of the past can be enlivened by the fashion of today.” The exhibit also serves as a stylish history lesson. “Our miss...

Beauty is only skin deep Caster Semenya's cover picture has broken with the traditional glamour magazine look, causing a stir on social media and prompting Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula to tweet: "Big ups Elle for capturing our Caster in her true form. Confident - Inspirational." ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads Editor Emilie Gambade said the cover was a return to the magazine's core values. "Fashion and beauty are a big part of what we do but Elle is also about women in society. When it started, in France in 1945, it was created to be the voice of women after the war. "In those difficult times it was about giving women a safe space in which to express themselves. It was the place where I learned about feminism, reproductive rights and all the things that women have fought for, for many years." Gambade said the picture, shot by renowned photographer Jodi Bieber and styled by Elle fashion director Tarryn Opel, was inten...

Furry Trolls Are Taking Over the World of Fashion A crowd of fashion industry insiders whipped out their phones as a pair of bizarre attendees popped onto the runway just before Fendi's Milan fashion show earlier this year. One was dressed as a chipper pink bug with giant crystal eyes; the other, a surly blue fuzzball with a resentful stare. Both looked as if they’d wandered out of a child’s fantasy land. Waving as they twirled down the runway, the Fendirumi, as they’re called, took their seats and waited for Kendall Jenner to lead the models onto the catwalk. It was a silly stunt from a serious fashion label, but one based on some serious money. Those monsters aren’t mere curios–they have corresponding products, namely keychains meant to dangle from the handle of a really expensive handbag. The tiny versions of those mascots cost $1,500 each and are just two in a full line of freaky beasts and trolls that have sparked an interna...
