This week’s fashion roundup: shopping ideas, fashion inspiration, new collections 31.08.2023, 17:01

We continue our fashion research – this week among them…

Have you ever wanted to give it all up, jump into a convertible (yes, one exists in our parallel universe), put the pedal to the floor – and drive off into the sunset on the ideal road? Just the horizon and you are all so beautiful – in a sophisticated jacket, soft cashmere turtleneck, suit trousers and black glasses. Not a girl, but a ready-made main character for French cinema!

This mood is conveyed by the new Lusio collection, which includes plain coats made of natural wool, dresses made of angora and merino wool, cozy knitwear – in general, everything you need for a cold autumn.

We can’t get enough of the 2000s aesthetic, and neither can designers Mango, who have offered a new collection for early autumn inspired by the nostalgia of big city fashion in the 2000s. All those ruffled dresses, thin sandals, midi skirts combined with sweaters and buckles – when to go with this beauty, if not now?

The Russian brand M.REASON has been promoting the idea of ​​a smart wardrobe since 2007. How does it work? New items from each new collection easily fit into the capsule you’ve already collected – and you don’t have to rush to find, say, a jacket with trousers or a new shirt with jeans every time.

So you can hang out for a long time in the brand’s store (just recently a separate corner was opened in the Trend Code department store): the new items themselves are puzzles. And one more nice thing: inside, for example, the summer collection has several capsules in different styles and all of them are limited edition. So you can forget about the typical boring look: every combo will have its own flair.

Jewelry like the Flaming Ice collection by MIUZ Diamonds is said to have “goosebumps.” Jewelers took this into account when they collected round and graphic baguettes cut with diamonds in one composition. The slim line of stones shines no matter how you turn the product, so their shine is literally blinding.

Let’s take a little detour from shopping collections – catch great news from the world of digital fashion. In the summer, we watched the educational program about digital fashion on the open creative platform Prostor from VK. Participants from all over the country – from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok – did not rest, but worked hard during the holidays.

Strong portfolios and completed tasks using neural networks were sent by 210 applicants. 73 participants passed the selection and were divided into three workshops of curators of modern brands: RigRaiser, TRYYT and Chernim Cherno. For more than a month, the artists worked in teams on their projects and received feedback from the ALKALI design office (by the way, you should follow these guys!). In the final, their digital appearance was evaluated by a jury. And we watch the final video with the results of the work of up to 47 winners – and it’s as if we’re moving into a parallel technoversion. Cold!
