Now women inhabiting a borderless, decentralized world are liberated to be themselves, and the options are limitless. Numerous factors have converged to produce this moment. Globalization, for sure. Kors acknowledges the influence of urbanism, McCartney that of feminism. Gigi Hadid makes a pretty good exemplar for the millennial point of view.
All types, all working together to make magic. A sense of community permeates both brands and extends to the inspiration each takes from their local milieus, in New York and Paris, respectively; their translation of those intimate references into the international language of style is aided by catwalk casting that mixes conventional models, compatriots, and people plucked from the neighborhood.
So what we do is, we make our own stars. One of those stars is Boychild. And in Paris, Vetements affirms the significance of community in word and in deed: The brand was conceived as a collective, and to underscore that point, the team, headed by Demna Gvasalia , insisted on speaking as one when commenting for this story. We are interested in exploring and evolving the reality around us.
Hood By Air and Vetements shows look very different. How could they not? Oliver is pulling from what he sees around him in Brooklyn, where club-kid glam rubs shoulders with hip-hop-inspired streetwear. Universes apart in sensibility as they may be, however, what links these brands is their hunger for reality.
That hunger has gone mainstream. Meanwhile, on the other end of the camera lens, a cottage industry catering to the demand for idiosyncratic faces has emerged. Prabal Gurung is a designer for whom the commitment to change is personal.
An immigrant, he came to America with little more than a dream; today, that dreamer dresses red-carpet celebrities and funds a foundation to educate girls in his native Nepal. But Gurung well remembers the feeling of being an outsider. Landing the cover of Vogue , for example. Women are demanding that brands give them what they want.
And what they want is to be visible. The message she incarnates is a simple one: Ample curves are sexy. Note the reaction of her cover costars when, prepping for the shoot, Graham saunters into the dressing room in nothing but her skivvies. Vittoria Ceretti wolf-whistles.
Sharp-witted Aboah is another channeler of the online throng. The founder of Gurls Talk, a Web- and Instagram-based platform for young women to share their hopes and fears, Aboah sees herself modeling less an image than a radically open mode of being. Gurls Talk grew out of that experience. Much has been written about the impact on fashion of social media—in particular the clout of models with millions of followers.
We look for big, singular characters who will astonish and amuse us with dispatches from deep inside their worlds. And every sweep of the thumb across the screen, skipping from world to world, reinforces the idea that life is made richer by a mix of vividly different aesthetics, viewpoints, personae.
The feed trains us, too, to respect the vitality of societies other than our own. Noting that it followed the pattern for Asian models to break through in New York or in Paris and return home as stars—with Liu herself leveraging her fashion fame into pop-culture celebrity as one of the leads on a Chinese reality show—Liu feels that the paradigm has flipped in recent years. Fashion casting increasingly resembles the feed. They compared Kendall's bookings from the year to her good friend Hailey Bieber.
They believe that since then, Kendall's " recent work is more influencer modeling and endorsements. With Kendall being the offspring of momager Kris Jenner, the Redditor thinks her mom recommended that she start venturing out ahead of her modeling career fizzling. Others noted the observation and agreed that Kendall's modeling has appeared to take a dip. Others explained why Kendall might be so defensive about her modeling career in comparison to her sisters who never really had to work real jobs after their reality TV fame.
Another added that Kendall comes off as though she doesn't think her sisters have real jobs. Considering her years in fashion and now K endall's transition into entrepreneurship , she might be showing her family and critics that she's a much harder worker than she gets credit for.
There are many models who continue their careers well into old age. At 25, Kendall has more than enough time before anything associated with her name becomes less marketable. Source: Reddit.
