How the ‘naked’ look took over fashion

Over the years, “naked dress” has been somewhat of a catch-all term for an outfit that associates itself with nudity – whether through clever illusion, by using sheer fabric, or by a lack of material altogether, such as Jennifer Lopez’s slashed- to-the-navel Versace gown at the 2000 Grammys, which caused such a frenzy it inadvertently led to the creation of Google Images. Today, Chrisman-Campbell says the term is most commonly used to describe something with “sheer, skin-colored fabrics, maybe some lace or sequins, anything where you really have to look twice to see if the person is showing any body parts.” Despite it being nothing we haven’t seen before, flashing some – or rather, a lot of – flesh on the red carpet remains a powerful way to command attention. Rihanna isn’t short on dramatic fashion...

Fashion and brand experts react to Prince Harry wearing a Dior suit to Coronation

Prince Harry’s Dior suit he wore for the Coronation could have been a rebellious move as he and Meghan Markle made a deal with the brand, experts claim today. The Duke of Sussex looked smart in the bespoke three-piece suit designed by Dior’s artistic director Kim Jones especially for his appearance at Westminster Abbey. But royal fashion expert and celebrity stylist Miranda Holder said Harry’s choice of a French brand showed he ‘did not get the fashion memo or was in a petulant mood’ as most other guests wore British labels, adding that his decision ‘spoke volumes’. Harry and his wife Meghan have previously worn various outfits by Dior which have prompted claims that they could work on a partnership with the brand. Brand and culture expert Nick Ede added that now the Sussexes are no...

Push for Faster Fashion Squeezes European Manufacturers

Big brands have stepped up sourcing in Europe over the last few years in a race to get the trendiest clothes to the continent’s consumers as quickly as possible. But the push for faster fashion has come at the expense of European manufacturers and their workers, according to a new report by the labor advocacy group Clean Clothes Campaign and Fair Trade Advocacy Office. Major brands in both the luxury and mass market segments often pressure suppliers to lower prices, despite the effects of inflation, according to the report, which was based on interviews with suppliers, experts and union representatives in Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, the Czech Republic and Germany. Manufacturers are regularly asked to make changes midway through production, but are also liable for any delays. Lead times are often unrealistic and payment timelines have...

Marian Rivera steals the show in OOTD worth almost PHP2 million

Marian Rivera entering a room is always a head-turning event. Just recently at the 17th-anniversary celebration of Nice Print Photography, the Kapuso Prime Time Queen stunned in a black two-piece Jean Paul Gaultier dress, which looked more like a bra-revealing long camisole. The jaw-dropping dress did highlight Marian’s hourglass figure, making her look sensual and elegant at the same time.

Pippa Middleton’s Wimbledon wrap dress is a summery dream

The Princess’ sister has undoubtedly incredible style, and this wrap dress look that she sported at Wimbledon in 2019 really steals the show. Kate Middleton is known for many things – her infectious personality, her athletic abilities, and her philanthropic efforts among them – but most people regard the Princess chiefly for her inspiring and classy style. What folks don’t always remember, though, is that Kate’s sister, Pippa, has an equally captivating and enviable style, and we recently unearthed a photo from a few years back of the royal’s sister that only further proves that point. Wimbledon, of course, always produces some style moments that we think about for years to come (we still have this white lace Wimbledon look from Kate Middleton in our minds), and Pippa certainly dressed to impress when attending the tennis...
