Best fashion and entertainment advices? In May, Hedi Slimane has presented his latest collection for Celine, for autumn/winter 2022, which he chose to stage in two historical monuments in Paris, the Hôtel de la Marine and the the Hôtel National des Invalide. Entitled ‘Dans Paris’, the show was filmed by Slimane, off the usual Paris Fashion Week schedule and starred Kaia Gerber. Ralph Lauren opted to show away from the traditional fashion week schedule for autumn/winter 2022, instead holding an elegant evening at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. When I decided months ago to share my new collection in this intimate experience, there was no war in Ukraine, said the designer in a message to show guests. The tragedy and devastation we are witnessing now was unthinkable. Back then all I could think about was coming back together with my teams and all of you to share the hopefulness that collaboration and creativity can inspire. So, in the midst of this sadness, we go forward united in our hope for peace, and our hope for the end of this pandemic and a return to being together. I am so proud to be with you again sharing not only a collection, but an optimism for living that respects the dignity of all.” That optimism was reflected in a completely timeless collection of monochromatic pieces – punctuated with occasional bursts of red – in the sleek lines and tailored silhouettes that the label does so well.

The new decade is well and truly here and while 2022 has shown us a new world we are still adjusting to, 2022 wedding hair feels a little different to previous years. Why? Well, nothing is off-limits with much smaller weddings, elopements and impromptu ceremonies. It’s an interesting time where anything goes and while there may be less of a focus on trends this year, there are defining looks that we are likely to continue to see.
In a typical season, our most-viewed shows list is fairly steady, but fall 2022 was no typical season. Early on in Milan, almost two years to the day after Covid broke out in Italy, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine disrupted any sense of post-pandemic return to normalcy the industry was hoping for. The rest of the season was an open question, whether or not designers chose to confront it: What is fashion’s place in a moment of incipient war? After a very strange few years, a relatively normal schedule of fashion shows wrapped in March. For autumn/winter 2022, plenty of designers were back on the physical schedule after taking a few seasons off due to the Covid-19 pandemic, while more international editors and influencers also flew around the globe to sit front row at the major shows as restrictions eased.
Tom Ford alluded to a theory behind the more outré collections when he told Vogue Runway how Instagram has changed the game and made many people focus on how clothes translate into imagery, saying, “Photogenic clothes today by their very nature mean that they are not at all timid,” and he was one of many designers to dive head first into loud colours, revealing cuts and high-shine finishes, all of which live very comfortably on screens and in a digital world of dress-up. In fact, one could draft the following as the blueprint for S/S 22’s more showy half: Loud! Bright! Daring! Revealing! If it’s not turning heads or garnering likes, it’s clearly not extra enough.
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. Lovers of tonal beiges, look away now. Not one for the wardrobe wallflowers among us, neon yellow looks set to be one of the hottest hues next summer. The even more intense news? It’s particularly epic when worn head-to-toe. Our women dresses online store is your go-to source for styles influenced by the latest fashions with an added flair.

Selena Gomez loves to go back and forth between long and short hair, and often adds these wispy bangs to either look. These bangs reach further past her eyes, grazing the bridge of her nose. If you want to try curtain bangs to see how they’ll look on you, clip-in bangs are a temporary way for you to play with the look. French Chic, A French cut is basically the chicest bob-and-bangs-combo you can imagine, all in one look. Ho says the Parisian-inspired style often features a naturally straight or slightly wavy hair texture and romantic fringe. Of course, if your hair is more textured, you can get the look with the help of hot tools or a wig. Kat Graham hit up Paris Fashion Week rocking the look with another major hair trend — bold barrettes.
When it came to thinking outside the box for a catwalk show, Balenciaga certainly was ahead of the rest this season. The house surprised guests with a special 10-minute episode of The Simpsons which saw Marge, Homer and the rest travel to Paris Fashion Week to walk in the Balenciaga show. The spectacle saw Balenciaga and Demna Gvasalia poke fun at itself and the fashion industry as a whole – and was an undisputed success on social media. According to the brand’s show notes, the SS22 collection expresses all of Christopher Kane’s nuances: conservative yet playful, subversive but sensual, hard against soft, sinister versus innocent; and always a balance between masculine and feminine. The slogans (which appeared across the collection) meanwhile, were inspired by a documentary on La Vey, where Kane observed that the words ‘live’ and ‘evil’ are the same backwards. This felt like an appropriate analogy for the world today, he said. I loved working with a more minimalist approach for spring/summer 2022, Kane added. I felt the need for clean structures and volume. It felt right for now. My intention is always to make women to feel confident, safe and sensual when they wear Christopher Kane.
