Chinese New Year, which starts on February 17, ushers in the Year of the Fire Horse. Celebrations are under way, having begun with the Little Year on February 10 and continuing through to the Lantern Festival on March 3.In the Chinese zodiac, the horse symbolises high energy, progress and rapid change, with the fire horse in particular associated with ambition, bold decision-making and good fortune. Linked to constant movement, the sign is also synonymous with freedom and flair – qualities that fashion brands are keen to tap into. From designs in hues of red, long-regarded as the colour of luck, to carefully crafted collectables and heirloom pieces, festive launches are already in full stride for the occasion also known as Lunar New Year. PradaPrada has repurposed its triangular motif into...

As a fashion editor with a longstanding love for ’90s minimalism, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy is rarely far from my mind, and never missing from my moodboard.With a background in publicity at Calvin Klein, Carolyn’s personal aesthetic closely mirrored the brand’s sleek, polished silhouettes that defined an era. Clean lines, muted palettes and impeccable tailoring ran through her wardrobe, but I find the most compelling thing about Carolyn's style is that she understood restraint in a way that still feels instructive today.As FX releases its highly anticipated Love Story, chronicling Carolyn and JFK Jr.’s relationship, I’ve found myself revisiting her archive once again. Below, I’ve pulled five enduringly chic looks that feel just as relevant now as they did in the mid-’90s. You may like Di...

In the span of a decade, the global fashion landscape has undergone a seismic shift. The rigid silhouettes, stiletto heels, and restrictive "power suits" that once defined professional and social success have been largely relegated to the back of the closet. In their place, a new aesthetic has emerged, one defined by oversized proportions, breathable fabrics, and an unapologetic commitment to comfort. This rise of relaxed fashion is not merely a passing trend; it is a visual manifestation of profound changes in our daily lives, our work cultures, and our collective mental health priorities.The Death of the Formal FrontierThe primary catalyst for this sartorial revolution was the collapse of the traditional office boundary. For decades, the "work wardrobe" served as a costume that signaled ...

Michael Kors marked its 45th anniversary at New York Fashion Week with a glamourous collection that channelled old New York with fluid tailoring and feather trims.Staged at the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center, beneath glittering chandeliers and gold-leaf ceilings, the autumn/winter 2026 show reflected the Long Island-born designer’s longevity and his continued reinvention.Only Ralph Lauren and Norma Kamali on the current New York schedule have been designing longer than the 66-year-old founder.The collection was an ode to Kors’ founding style (Evan Agostini/Invision/AP)(Evan Agostini)Speaking ahead of the show, Kors attributed his four-and-a-half decades in fashion to being “consistent and inconsistent at the same time” – maintaining recognisable signatures while continually evo...

Rihanna is a known fashion maximalist: a confectionary-colored Issey Miyake set and extreme below-the-bump Alaïa as maternity wear, double denim layered with diamonds, statement headgear, animal print everything. Her style repertoire revels in vintage gems and her favorite big name brands, and even a run to Fatburger has called for a look in the past. But out and about in Los Angeles yesterday, Rihanna gave the clean girl uniform a go.In the most Rihanna way possible, that is. Out for the school run with her son and errands at CVS in West Hollywood, the pop star and beauty mogul wore a pinstripe blazer that she paired with straight leg blue jeans, a white t-shirt, tricolor leather Miu Miu penny loafers, and oversized Saint Laurent sunglasses. She accessorized with a singular gold pendant n...

'Practical Hands-Free Fashion' - These 12 Black Crossbody Bags Prove Why They Are A Wardrobe StapleThe hands-free appeal is so strong, even celebrities have been seen sporting the classic style. Who could forget when Timotheé Chalamet stepped out in a bright orange Hermès Kelly while promoting Marty Supreme last year and then again in a black version earlier this month worn casually over a hoodie and bomber jacket? Kylie Jenner’s beau is living proof that this evergreen style can still pack a punch in 2026. Of course, some of us might have a few more personal belongings to store that can’t quite fit in a mini Kelly. Thankfully, this handy handbag comes in a myriad of shapes, sizes and strap lengths, from a cushy, quilted East-West style by Miu Miu to a chic, cargo number by Mulberry. Most ...

Every week, I scroll through celebrity looks with a mix of curiosity and skepticism—because let’s be honest, not every outfit deserves to be called “good.” But this week? I stopped scrolling. Multiple times. Regardless of the cold weather we’ve been experiencing lately, there was something about the styling choices that overcame this frigid winter and really stood out to me. After, I found myself saving photos, zooming in on details, and mentally bookmarking ideas for my own outfits—I knew it was time to document it all.What made these celebrity outfits feel especially strong is that they weren’t trying too hard. They felt rooted in personal style rather than trend-chasing, which is a movement I’m predicting to be big in 2026. From quiet luxury moments to unexpectedly bold combinations, th...

Fashion's love affair with looking in the rearview mirror is a tale as old as time. The biggest runway designers frequently return to the stripped-back minimalism of the 90s, the chintzy glitz of the 1920s, the glam rock of the 70s, the doll-like dress sense of the 1960s and the indie sleaze sensibilities of the 2000s. But for 2026, a particular period is coming back with a serious bang, ushering in a new wave of clashing brights, unabashed prints and patterns, decadent silhouettes, and high-camp accessorising. It is, of course, the 1980s, and the most headline-grabbing designers went all-out on this retro mood across the runways for the spring/ summer season.From the blingy debutantes premiering at Richard Quinn to the Molly Ringwald doppelgängers at Caro Editions, the leather-clad club r...
