THE VALENTINO SPRING 2018 COLLECTION BROUGHT GLAMOUR TO FUNCTIONAL FASHION

THE VALENTINO SPRING 2018 COLLECTION BROUGHT GLAMOUR TO FUNCTIONAL FASHION

If you're a fashion lover who's had it up to here with the industry's current fixation on athleisure, streetwear, logomania, merch and all things millennial-inspired, you are certainly not alone. While there's nothing wrong with investing in well-made, practical, seasonless clothing — or the occasional trendy piece emblazoned with a super-hyped brand name — many everyday staples can start to feel monotonous, especially when one label after another continues to turn out collections of hoodies, denim and sneakers. Where's the fantasy gone? Isn't fashion supposed to be fun, even if you're just heading out to run a quick errand or have a quiet dinner with friends?

Valentino's Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli surely had this question in mind while designing his fantastic Spring 2018 collection. According to the show notes, he believes that fashion's main function is to "make the ordinary extraordinary," and he did just that with his lovely showing in Paris on Sunday evening. Utilitarian pieces you might not expect from the Italian house — anoraks, rain slickers, army jackets, coveralls — were given a glamorous makeover, thanks to a feminine color palette, loads of sparkling paillettes and embroideries, artful layering and oversize bows or ruffles.

Daymond John Brings FUBU Back

This year marks the 25th anniversary of FUBU pioneering the integration of fashion with hip-hop culture, multimedia and entertainment. The urban apparel line founded by CEO Daymond John was synonymous with T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, hats, footwear and denim with the conjoined "FB" in bold, all caps font stitched on the fabric.

Entertainers like LL Cool J, Mary J. Blige, TLC, P. Diddy and Beyonce all wore FUBU to award shows, in music videos and in numerous print and television ads. At its pinnacle, FUBU had netted $350 million in sales through 5,000 retail stores: eventually grossing more than $6 billion globally.

An acronym that stands for "For Us By Us," FUBU was created to specifically target young African-American consumers. John, who started the operation with his childhood friends Keith Perrin, J. Alexander Martin and Carl Brown, created the clothing as a response to high-profile fashion brands expressing they didn't want to market their collections to ethnic audiences.

Is This "Over" Fall Boot Trend Officially Back

No matter how far in the past you thought a trend was, when the likes of Balenciaga, Chanel, The Row, J.W.Anderson, and—let’s be real—Zara all simultaneously begin to endorse it, it makes you rethink your stance.

If you ask us, all signs point to yes. Unsurprisingly, Chanel already has the bloggers on board, and we think it’s only a matter of time until the rest of the fashion world follows.
