Coach Forever Season Two
Coach Forever Season Two is the next chapter of Creative Director Stuart Vevers’ vision of mixing past, present and future together in one moment to speak to real-life dressing and a more responsible approach.
Building on last September’s story of community, responsibility and mixed-season wardrobing, Coach Forever Season Two is the next chapter of Creative Director Stuart Vevers’ vision of mixing past, present and future together in one moment to speak to real-life dressing and a more responsible approach. Telling a new story about “creature comforts,” it is inspired by our indoor and outdoor worlds mixing and features layered and loose silhouettes, plush oversized shearling coats and leather jackets created in collaboration with the American outerwear brand Schott, a charming menagerie of creatures embroidered on ready-to-wear and accessories, and a reimagination of the house’s Rogue carryall.
Mirroring the mood of our times, and exploring the juxtapositions of fashion and pop culture, the presentation will reach audiences via “Coach TV” beamed across the house’s social channels. The experience will be escapist, nostalgic and tongue-in-cheek and will bring together the Fall lookbook, captured on the Coach Family around the world by Juergen Teller, as well as pre show vignettes that pay homage to American television, written and directed by Frances Frances.
Del Core Collection Zero
Fashion House Del Core debuted its first collection in Milan on Wednesday, 24th February. Founded by Daniel Del Core, former special projects and VIP Designer at Gucci, the brand unveiled a collection that explores such an evolutionary space of body and mind.

Evolution and adaptability are survival strategies that lead to constant reinvention, both in the human and the natural realms. Dresses, our chosen skin, are part of this process — instruments of change, in fact.
The endless movement of the natural world inspires an idea of mutant glamour — an ever-evolving fantasy of change, developed in the painstaking work of the ateliers. Covered in nets, barely touched by straight lines or sculpted by curves, the body mutates, redesigned in ways that ceaselessly morph.
Long, short, masculine, feminine, solid, embellished, bright, dark collide in one seamless, glamorous flow. The state of matter changes from firm to airy, from matte to shiny as colors glide from bright to poisonous to black, and shapes evolve from sculptural to liquid. Tailoring is sharp and monochromatic. Dresses fall straight, drape, curve.
Moschino Fall Winter 2021
This season starts with the concept of a show within a show within a show within a show, fueled by a dash of time-travel to the sophistication and grandeur of early Hollywood. It’s a mashup of Moschino-isms, stage-lit by a golden spotlight and dappled in escapist nostalgia.
This season starts with the concept of a show within a show within a show within a show, fueled by a dash of time-travel to the sophistication and grandeur of early Hollywood. It’s a mashup of Moschino-isms, stage-lit by a golden spotlight and dappled in escapist nostalgia.
The revered, ahead-of-its time 1939 George Cukor film The Women—in which no male character is seen or heard—influenced Scott. In particular, there is a Technicolor fashion show scene that struck a chord (here, too, this links to the meta observation of one vignette within another). The Women’s plot kicks off at an expensive Manhattan salon, where society ladies go to get the newest nail color: Jungle Red!
Presented through a short film named for that same varnish hue, Fall hosts a panoply of items and ideas, ranging from reworked pinstripe suiting to an iconic-ironic prairie dress all-over printed with physical cows on the prairie. Scott also takes such mundanities as potato sacks and cuts them into bell-sleeves, poufs and bows, imbuing irreverence and confidence into something otherwise deemed largely ignorable.
The agricultural then gives way to a full-on fauna moment, with a high-shine power-suit made of faux gold croc, complete with a tail. There are strapless sequined giraffe dresses and beaded leopard frocks, and a show-stopping mini with an embellished flamingo, its neck itself becoming the garment’s neckline.
From there, the trip continues: an outdoor series features full skirts, puff sleeves and a belted trench, along with an on-the-go kit holding everything you’d find on a lady’s vanity table. Brushes for blush, hair combs, tweezers and even a compact shaped in Moschino’s signature teddy bear, all included!
As we progress, the collection begins to boast ball gowns in voluminous silhouettes, appearing to be hand painted in post-Impressionist brushstrokes. At the conclusion, Scott enters the realm of 1940’s evening, with pale pink, fuchsia, black and gold-charmed dresses that seem as if they’re reincarnated off of a midcentury red carpet at Los Angeles’s Biltmore Hotel.
