Lil Nas X Closed Vogue World: New York with a Stunning Performance

Lil Nas X Closed Vogue World: New York with a Stunning Performance

In the countdown to Vogue World: New York, we saw Lil Nas X hop on the subway, take a dip in the Central Park Reservoir, and play a cheeky game of telephone with Hailey Bieber, all to help spread the word ahead of tonight’s big event—and to the delight of all who tuned in, the Grammy-winning rapper was on hand, live and in person, to give a show-stopping performance.

After a night of flag-draped marathon runners, dancer, bikers popping wheelies, and guest appearances from the likes of Serena Williams, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, Jaquel Spivey, Marcus Samuelsson and Maya Haile, Jeremy O. Harris, Erykah Badu, and a whole raft of supermodels (Shalom Harlow, Joan Smalls, Paloma Elsesser, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Precious Lee, et cetera, et cetera), Lil Nas X shut the whole thing down with a rousing performance of “Industry Baby,” clad in a silvery crop top and silver lamé trousers. Under the street lamps (and spotlights) of West 13th Street, Nas and his backup dancers put on a proper show, ultimately strutting down the cobblestone catwalk flanked by Williams, Gigi, and Bella. Dare we call him a certified fashion industry baby?

Vogue Philippines’s Stunning First Issue Is A Celebration Of Filipino Talent

Photo: Instagram.com/voguephilippines
This year’s slate of September issues includes a welcome newcomer: Vogue Philippines, which makes its debut on newsstands this month. Helmed by the accessories designer (and Manila native) Bea Valdes, the publication’s first cover story features Filipino-American model Chloe Magno exploring the wonders of the Philippines in spectacular fashion. Among the destinations highlighted in the 36-page editorial captured by photographer Sharif Hamza? The blue lagoons of Bucas Grande, the marble boulders of the Tinipak River, and the rock formations of Biri Island.
“Through the content in Vogue Philippines and its platforms, we hope to showcase the Philippine fashion identity, by connecting us to the global community,” Valdes noted in a statement ahead of publication.
In the September 2022 issue, that mission translates as a dedicated shoot based around contemporary reinterpretations of the terno, or traditional Filipino dress; coverage of the next wave of Philippines-based designers who are shaking up the fashion world; and a feature on accessories inspired by Filipino heritage and artisanship. As for the lifestyle content? Valdes and her team spotlight an esteemed furniture brand based in France that’s been working closely with Cebuano artisans for decades, as well as getting a preview of a sustainable Philippines resort made wholly from local island materials.

Get a sneak peek inside Vogue Philippines’s historic first issue, below.

Venus Williams’ First Lacoste Campaign Proves Fashion and Sport are the Perfect Match

Venus Williams’ First Lacoste Campaign Proves Fashion and Sport are the Perfect Match

Photo: Stas Komarovski
Signing up to become Lacoste’s global ambassador was a no-brainer for Venus Williams, a self-professed “tennis nerd”, who really knows her racket-sport history, as well as how to ace a killer drop shot on the court. Speaking on the set of her Vogue shoot, Williams shares that she has always felt inspired by brand founder René Lacoste’s game-changing approach to fashion. When current creative director Louise Trotter, a woman known for her effortlessly luxe approach to style, came along, it was a match made in heaven.

“Her clothes really transform you once you put them on,” says Williams. “I’m into what makes you happy, and fashion and clothes make me so happy. It’s where I belong.” For a powerhouse woman at the top of her industry, it’s refreshing to hear that Williams still gets giddy at the sight of a great top – and not just the sweat-wicking kind. She loves the way Louise’s Lacoste encourages her to level up and do her best in her field and in life. “It was like role modeling for me,” she shares of working with Trotter. “Working with Louise makes me feel like I want to be better; I want to work harder; I want to dig deeper inside of myself.”

Trotter, a tennis fan who can scarcely believe she can call Venus a colleague, is thrilled that the stars have aligned for this moment. “I can get a little bit emotional, because I’m a big tennis fan and having the opportunity to work with someone that you have so much respect for… she’s a true trailblazer,” explains Louise, who is the first woman at the creative helm of the French brand known for its crocodile logo. “I have so much respect for Venus, not just for her amazing game, but her values and the way she sees life. What she’s achieved not only as an athlete, but as a human in really pushing for women and equality and empowerment… for me, that’s such an incredible message.”
For Williams’s part, being a role model is first and foremost about how you view yourself. “You can’t really be a role model for someone else if you’re not happy with how you feel about the way you’re living your own life,” says Venus. “I just wanted to play tennis and then this whole role model thing came after, but thankfully my parents were good parents and gave us values.”

It’s lucky for Lacoste her journey led her to the brand (Williams does not often sign brand endorsement deals). Her daily approach to getting dressed for herself is something we can all learn from. “I just wake up and I get dressed to the nines, like every day,” says the woman who transforms her wardrobe every two years. “I felt like I was waiting for my life to happen. Now, my life is so much better!” If you take one thing away from Venus Williams’s Lacoste campaign, it’s that dressing for yourself is the ultimate form of empowerment. And there’s plenty more to come.

How to Buy a Sustainable Wedding Dress in 2021

How to Buy a Sustainable Wedding Dress in 2021

From the eco-conscious brands you need on your radar to purchasing a vintage or pre-owned wedding dress — here’s what you should know.

While large-scale weddings are not currently possible due to Covid-19 restrictions, many couples have opted for smaller, more intimate affairs instead. And with in-person fittings mostly off the cards, many brides have been rethinking their wedding dresses, including opting for more low-key — and sustainable — choices for their big day. 
Despite not having a specific bridal line, eco-conscious brand Maggie Marilyn has certainly seen more interest from brides in her ready-to-wear pieces since the pandemic began. “With everything going on in the world right now, there is an element of brides toning it down a little bit, which feels fresh and modern,” the brand’s founder Maggie Hewitt tells Vogue. “Brides are choosing to wear pieces that align with their values when they get married, too, which is exciting.”

For those looking for a more traditional wedding gown, vintage has also become an increasingly popular choice for eco-minded brides. Lyst reported that searches for vintage wedding dresses were up by a staggering 297% in the 48 hours after Princess Beatrice opted to borrow a 1960s Norman Hartnell dress from her grandmother, the Queen, for her wedding in July 2020.
Rental and upcycling are also on the rise, as brides become increasingly conscious of the environmental impact of a dress that you only wear once. Here is Vogue’s ultimate guide to sustainable wedding dresses in 2021. 
Sustainable wedding dress brands to know 
Designers such as Stella McCartney and Gabriela Hearst — both known for their sustainable practices — are obvious places to start your wedding dress hunt, but it’s also worth trying Maggie Marilyn, Mother of Pearl, and Reformation if you’re looking for a more relaxed option.

In fact, going for a style that “you can wear again and again” will only boost the dress’s sustainability credentials, Hewitt adds. That’s why Cecilie Bahnsen’s Encore range — made from leftover materials — is another fantastic option, featuring intricately crafted pieces that can be worn on your big day and beyond (especially when parties are finally allowed again). 
Vintage and pre-owned wedding dresses
By wearing vintage on your wedding day, you’re not only extending the life of a pre-existing dress — it’s also likely to be a one-of-a-kind piece, making it an extra special choice. “It’s about customers wanting to make more meaningful purchases and wearing something unique; something with a story on their special day,” explains Marie Blanchet, founder and CEO of Mon Vintage. 
With so much choice out there, it helps to narrow down what you’re looking for. Styles from the 1960s are trending at the moment, according to Blanchet, while other brides are opting for old-school Hollywood glamour from the 1930s and 1940s. The white pantsuit, too, is having somewhat of a resurgence thanks to the rise of the micro-wedding. Look for a vintage specialist who will tailor the pieces to your measurements, advises the expert, adding that it’s better to buy a piece that’s too big than too small. 
If you’re looking for a modern pre-owned option, try bridal-specific marketplaces such as Still White and Brides Do Good, as well as resale sites like The RealReal and Vestiaire Collective. There you’ll find gowns by the likes of Carolina Herrera and Emilia Wickstead, all for a fraction of the price of a brand new wedding dress.

Renting a wedding dress 
With rental fashion on the rise in recent years, it’s no surprise that more brides are considering renting a dress as their ‘something borrowed’. “It makes so much sense to rent if it’s just for that one day,” says Eshita Kabra-Davies, founder and CEO of rental app By Rotation, which now sees past brides loaning out their own wedding dresses (Cecilie Bahnsen, Jacquemus and Ganni are all popular options). 
If you can’t find your dream dress to rent, it’s definitely worth considering borrowing your wedding day accessories instead — whether that’s a Simone Rocha handbag or a Shrimps faux-pearl headband to finish off your look.

How to upcycle your wedding dress 
While wedding dresses typically end up in a box at the back of people’s wardrobes, many brides are now contemplating how they can give their gowns a second life. Bridal designer Alice Temperley has shown how to dye her dresses using natural materials while rising brands such as Wed Studio and Tess van Zalinge are turning old pieces into modern separates that can be worn day to day.
Ultimately, it’s about reducing waste as much as possible. As Van Zalinge explains, “You could buy a dress that you’re going to wear for just one day, but you have to think about what you could do with it afterwards.”

Iris Van Herpen on How Space and Skydiving Became Her Unlikely Inspirations

Iris Van Herpen on How Space and Skydiving Became Her Unlikely Inspirations

Photography by Siermond & Nicholas Fols II
“She’s connected to nature, art and innovation,” says fashion designer and couturier Iris van Herpen of the woman she designs for. “But she also sees the value of material and construction.” And all of those trademarks are clearer than ever this season as she delivers a gravity-defying collection entitled Earthrise and accompanying film that is, quite frankly, mind-blowing. 
Photography by Siermond & Nicholas Fols II
Founded in 2007, the 37-year-old Dutch designer’s maison has since become renowned for boundary-pushing innovations in couture (her mesmerising FW19 collection where sculptural dresses moved in conjunction with the wind springs to mind) and have been worn by the likes of Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Naomi Campbell. By uniting the artisanal with multidisciplinary technologies, van Herpen explores elaborate techniques such as 3D printing, laser-cutting and digital fabrications in ways that had never before been seen. “I have a passion for craftsmanship,” she says. “There’s been a beautiful evolution of it throughout the centuries and it has an important place in our future.” 
Photography by Siermond & Nicholas Fols II
Working in collaboration with Domitille Kiger, a world champion skydiver, van Herpen places the art of the extreme sport at the forefront of the collection with meticulous construction and innovative fabrics. And the film? A luminous spectacle that climaxes with Kiger performing a choreographed skydiving routine in a van Herpen creation. “No one would see the parallels between haute couture and skydiving, but the connection is strong,” says the designer, describing how fabric and its movement is vital to the sport. “I wanted to dedicate this partly to Domitille and the incredible way she lives.”
Photography by Siermond & Nicholas Fols II
Ahead of the film’s premiere on July 5, Vogue caught up with the designer via Zoom from her Amsterdam atelier to discuss the new collection film, the crossovers with skydiving and haute couture, as well as her hopes for fashion in a post-pandemic world. 
What’s your earliest memory of fashion and what is it about the craft of couture that led you to practice it yourself?
“My grandma was a collector of garments, both modern and historic, stored in her attic. As a kid, I would go there a lot and transform myself into different worlds and feel the power of clothing. I also started working with my hands from an early age because my mum was making clothes.
“I’m drawn to both art and fashion. There’s a beautiful connection between the history and the future of fashion, which is what I try to bring with my work.”
Photography by Siermond & Nicholas Fols II
How did the collaboration with Domitille Kiger come about? What is it about skydiving that interests you?                                                                                                                            
 “I did my first skydive when I was 17 and it was an experience that never left me, so I followed the work of the world champion skydivers, such as Domitille. I’ve dedicated my life to shaping and draping fabric, and with Domitille, her life depends on the fabric unfolding in the right shape. I approached her and when she came to my atelier, we talked about the similarities of pushing our limits in our respective work. It was a beautiful match. Some people call skydiving a sport, I also see it as artistic expression.”  
Photography by Siermond & Nicholas Fols II
Where did the reference to space and Earth come from?
“It started from a 1968 photo taken [by Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders] from the perspective of an astronaut looking back at Earth from the moon. Like Earth, there’s a lot of greens and blues in the collection. The NASA archives have inspired a lot of it, as well.”

You’ve got a knack for combining handwork, technology and sustainability — where does this come from?                              
“There’s no specific process, but my way of thinking is very interdisciplinary, so I like to work with people from different backgrounds such as architects, scientists and biologists. Craftsmanship can evolve to help us look at fashion in new ways and a big part of that, of course, is sustainability. It’s a slow, long route, but I believe in investing in it to take little steps forward.
“Last season, we started collaborating with [sea-protection campaign] Parley for the Oceans, which involved weaving plastic recovered from the ocean into an extraordinary super-fine, delicate fabric. This season, we integrated the fabric into multiple pieces, some full looks, too.”   
Photographed by Jenny Norin
What were some of the painstakingly difficult details to create this season?
“The main technique is delicately made from thousands of spheres in different size and colour gradients, which creates an optical illusion of movement and depth, and each circle is hand cut and has a tiny outline of one millimetre that is also cut and placed separately. Another was in collaboration with artist Rogan Brown, whose paper sculptures involve layers of fine knife-cutting, often based on scientific illustrations from nature. We translated his delicate technique into soft, wearable garments. These were the most challenging and time-consuming of everything we did.”
Photographed by Jenny Norin
What will the film look like and which collaborators were instrumental in bringing it to life? 
“We wanted to create this feeling of levitation. It was shot partly in France with Domitille skydiving, as well on top of the Dolomites in Italy. The film was directed by Masha Vasyukova, whose work I admire and have been following for a while, and she’s been part of the whole process since the development of the collection. Also, [Nepali model and musician] Tsunaina has a big part in the film, singing for us.” 
Photographed by Jenny Norin
What do you hope for the future of fashion in a post-pandemic world?
“The physical moment of sharing new creations is essential in fashion and that will not go away. But now there’s more space in the ways that designers can express a collection, both digitally and physically. It’s freeing and I hope we continue this freedom of expression.”

Gigi Hadid Just Played a New Fashion Video Game as Herself

Gigi Hadid Just Played a New Fashion Video Game as Herself

Gigi Hadid. Instagram/@gigihadid

Alongside the many special things that come with having a solo Vogue cover, Gigi Hadid has also received her very own fashion video game.
The Palestinian-American model was filmed playing the game as herself for Vogue. Navigating a fiction fantasyland as a three-dimensional animation of herself in the game, Hadid’s challenges include going grocery shopping to make her internet-famous spicy pasta or floating in the sky and collecting coins. Like any other game, to advance, you have to pass levels to gain new items. Likewise, Hadid had to unlock new levels to earn some stellar new outfits.
Vogue’s creative team assigned director and Hadid’s friend and stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson to bring the project to life. For two months, O’Herlihy worked with a group of 3D artists across the globe, including Carol Civre, who worked on three dimensioning Hadid. Timo Rusall worked to render the designer clothes from labels including Celine, Chanel and JW Anderson, and Wan worked on the accessories we see throughout the video game.
For level one of the game, we see Hadid waltzing around a grocery store to collect ingredients for her renowned pasta recipe and earns “Gigi Cache” for each object she passes by. To get to level three, the supermodel had to make the pasta. Hadid achieves a new superpower at level three: superstrength, where she turns into a Godzilla-like creature. Her challenge is to navigate through New York City and get to work on time. Level four transports Hadid back in time to her stables, where we see her jumping over obstacles while sipping tea. The final level concluded with Hadid possessing an extreme superpower: flight. The game finished with the supermodel claiming her prize, which is none other than her Vogue cover.
Watch the full video below.
