In their first solo exhibition, Orange, photographers Tanya and Zhenya Posternak scrutinise the act of seeing. Celebrated in fashion and editorial circles for their close-up, soft-focus images, the twin sisters—known for their work with Alaïa, Loewe, and Pop Magazine—often position themselves above or below their subjects, capturing the full scope of the scene.

A Menu to Die For: Devour These Dishes at Your Own Risk “The preparation of this dish conjures images of Dante’s Inferno; the perfect recipe for ultimate sin: a long and adulterous soak in a pool of Sangiovese wine, bubbling away at blistering temperatures.” Nobody I know of has ever died from eating Italian food.

0 $0.00 0 items photography Before Christopher Hyrsanidis shared the details for his debut collection, he wasn’t a familiar name. His bare Instagram profile confirmed he was skilled, though. The Melbourne-based designer has a knack for tailoring and construction with an incredible awareness of fabric, structure and layering. Hrysanidis dropped out of fashion school after a year, trading institutional education for a professional intervention at a decades-old pattern maker.

0 $0.00 0 items Whoosh went the Marc Jacobs girls! With bright Hollywood skirts, princess gowns and doll-like tunics, the American designer continued his exploration of colour, scale and shape for Fall 2024. It was hard not to see Marilyn Monroe as ‘The Girl’ (read, The Girl) in Billy Wilder’s 1955 film The Seven Year Itch. Jacobs’ halter dress with conical busts, much like the sunray pleated version worn in the film, has a full skirt raised from the right-hand side.

Greek American soprano Maria Callas once said, “An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down.” Her idea affirms that the baroque Palais Garnier was an apt venue for CHANEL’s first runway show following the unexpected announcement of Virginie Viard’s departure. Viard, who had been with the French luxury house for 37 years, leaves behind a significant legacy.

0 $0.00 0 items Dries Van Noten, born in 1958 into a family of tailors in Antwerp stretching back three generations, has a traditionalist design background. He founded his namesake brand in 1986, coinciding with the Belgian government’s initiation of the Gouden Spoel (Golden Bobbin) Award. This award helped Van Noten and fellow graduates from the Royal Academy of Art build closer connections with manufacturers and producers in the beleaguered garment industry.

0 $0.00 0 items Jonathan Anderson titled his summer collection for LOEWE ‘A Radical Act of Restraint’. It was a curious use of the word ‘restraint’. The show space was elemental, with ecru wooden slabs casing the floor and benches—a minimalistic installation compared to the zealous art by Richard Hawkins for Fall 2024.

0 $0.00 0 items When Frank Lloyd Wright was designing the Guggenheim Museum in the 1950s, he claimed that “form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.” Wright borrowed this idea from Louis Sullivan’s axiom, “form follows function”, which has become the touchstone and point of contention for many architects since. While Sullivan proposes that aesthetics is subsidiary to utility, Wright suggests that the two actually go hand in hand.
