Top rated fashion trends recommendations today? Explaining why he chose to go ahead with the show, the designer explained: Cancelling this show would mean giving in, surrendering to the evil that has already hurt me so much for almost 30 years. I decided that I can no longer sacrifice parts of me to that senseless, heartless war of ego. This season’s Valentino show was a total pink-out with almost the entire collection being made in the same shade of pink, one chosen by Pierpaolo Piccioli in collaboration with the Pantone Color Institute. Pink as a manifestation of the unconscious and a liberation from the need for realism, explained the show notes. The accumulation of pink elements is such as to eliminate the visual shock to bring out, together, the unique character of the person, expressed by the face and the eyes, and the work on the pieces of clothing: the signs that shape them into a silhouette, the textures that give them consistency, the decorations that are part of the construction…The pink-out is an experimental yet deeply human gesture that enhances individuality, capturing values and feelings.

Low set textured ponytails: There’s something so feminine and chic about a ponytail and we will continue to see textured ponytails in 2022. The look is less cheerleader and more effortless chic, with volume at the crown and pulled back into a ponytail above the nape of the neck. Your wedding veil choice is really important if you love the look of a bridal ponytail. Choose a veil that’s attached to a smaller hair comb (1.5-2.5 inches) to create a smaller teardrop silhouette in the hair. A wide veil comb (anything wider than 2.5 inches) will overwhelm your look and will cover up the ponytail.

Valentino landed the number two spot, after not ranking last season. What that tells us: There must be power in pink. Pierpaolo Piccioli’s exclusive use of eye-popping hot pink and black divided reviewers, but not Vogue Runway’s readers. Also: There’s definitely power in celebrity. A Zendaya sighting never hurts and the superstar made her only appearance of the season at Piccioli’s show. His Paris venue had screaming fans by the thousands outside to greet her, a site and sound reproduced over and over again this season, with Kim Kardashian turning up at Prada and Balenciaga, Julia Fox at Versace, and the resplendently pregnant Rihanna at Gucci, Off-White, and Christian Dior. Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Dior collection was our number-one most-viewed show of the season. She also had Blackpink’s Jisoo in the front row.

In fact, some of the most raved-about spring 2022 shows (when I looked in real time on the handles of fashion insiders—particularly buyers) skewed towards this more minimalistic and understated approach. Peter Do’s debut runway during New York Fashion Week was one that many an expert got behind and really set the tone for a new wave of get-up-and-go outfits. “Versatility and ease are more important than ever, and this can be achieved with basics with a twist, modern classics and muted tones, all of which are the vital pieces every wardrobe needs to help elevate the simplest of looks,” says Page. “We’re seeing our customers invest more in quality basics and timeless pieces that can be worn for seasons and even years to come, so when those pieces have an additional quirky element—they’re sold! Our favourites for S/S 22 include Peter Do’s maxi shirt, Jil Sander’s yellow boxy blazer and Victoria Beckham’s oversized shirt in mellow blue.”

One of the most wearable trends to come out of this round of runways was the pleated skirt, and while there was a light scattering of mini incarnations reminiscent of this summer’s favourite tennis skirt, for SS22 it’s all about the pleated midi. Other than that, there really are no rules. Printed, plain, colourful, monochrome, paired with knits or paired with a bralette – as long as it’s pleated then you’re bang on the money. Strapped accents have been gaining popularity over recent seasons, but it’s set to really take hold from summer 2022 onwards. Whether it’s a top with multi-straps across the shoulders and décolletage, trousers with a strapped waistband criss-crossing across the stomach – or, indeed, both – you’ll have to forgo any worries of awkward tan lines next season and embrace the straps. Led by a team of highly dedicated and motivated group of individuals we are firmly focused on our customer’s needs. We hope that with continuous developments and innovation we will continue to expand and bring our unique experience to shoppers throughout the world.

Jen Atkin, hairstylist and founder of Ouai Haircare, is loving textured lobs this season. She says clients like Hailey Baldwin Bieber are asking for short, shaggy cuts. “Tell your stylist you want a lot of movement and texture, especially toward the ends and in the fringe,” she explains. To get the ’70s shaggy look, she uses Ouai Wave Spray and lets the hair “do its thing.” She tames flyaways and adds moisture with Ouai Finishing Creme.

For the spring/summer 2022 collection, I wanted to build on the tradition of Givenchy’s history while also really looking towards the future, creative director Matthew M Williams said of the new collection. To do this, I worked with people I admire across different disciplines who have truly unique perspectives including the artist Josh Smith, whose iconic work is incorporated throughout the collection, and the musician Young Thug, who created the entire score for the show. The collaboration and this collection offer people a remarkably immersive and special experience. See additional details at Weekly Broad Sheets.
