Balmain's Olivier Rousteing Collaborating with Nike this Time

 

Balmain’s young and eminently promising designer Olivier Rousteing recently announced that he is collaborating with Nike. The announcement, which took place on social media platform Instagram, was posted by Rousteing himself, with hashtags included.

To name a few, they were “dreamteam” and “epic.” Remember his collaboration with H&M and how well-received that was? Even well-received is hugely an understatement. From personal experience, I remember going online to shop the collection the day it released and almost everything was sold out. Then I also remember the instances of ample people and crowds of people anxiously rushing in to shop as well.

Capitalizing off of the people’s love for that collection, he is catering to his fan base by putting his luxurious collection in a light of leisure and athletics. Rousteing is excellent at considering the people and that is an awesome quality, especially for his type of career. Nike is enormously known for sportswear, which is also a huge understatement. Nike and its logo and slogan are among the icons of the world today.

Rousteing’s vibrant outlook on both women’s wear and menswear blends with sportswear in this collection. The Nike “swoosh” is golden on the conspicuously embellished pieces that constitute the collection and ultimately also constitute the image the young designer is giving to this collection. Mostly golds and blacks, as can be seen in the ornate take on athletic wear, compose this collection in terms of color.

Whether you plan to spend your money on this very collection or not, it is still exciting and intriguing. It is always simply fun and also quite riveting to see a collaboration, especially in the field of fashion.

Chanel Parks Never Expected to Fit into the Fashion World

Fashion features ample things and ideals. It challenges and incites ontological and philosophical questions. It encourages insightful thinking and inquisitive pondering. It is easily a very cyclical phenomenon and so enigmatic, as it is composed of binary elements, such as inclusive versus exclusive, skinny or slender versus plus-sized, subtle or simple versus extravagant and showy, minimal versus baroque, and mainstreams versus hipster.

Fashion is not only an expansive, multidimensional field of aesthetics and artistic beauty blended with social and cultural and philosophical elements, but it serves social, psychological, and cultural functions, like iconisation through models, photography, and themes and consumerism through branding and commodification. It establishes and reinforces codes and stylistic conventions.

According to Mauss and Bordieu, “how we clothe the body” is an active process or a technical means to create or represent a bodily self. The body is naturally trained to inhibit and internalize postures, movement, and gestures. Bodies are worn through technologies of movement, gesture, projection, and restraint.

You can have personified fashion. You can find yourself through it, no matter what you image is. Chanel Park, who never expected to fit into her fashion world’s realms, reflects she did not fit the image. She, however, is in the fashion world and she finds depth and diversity in it.

Models like Marquita Ping, Sabina Karlsson, and Georgia Pratt, walked on the runway that featured a notable amount of plus-size models, according to Parks. She reflected that gender identity has been played with but that racial and cultural identity and diversity was more prominent and dealt with this year at New York Fashion Week.

Seeing fashion is everywhere; it is unavoidable. Relating to it is made easier by diversity, depth, and breadth and meaning becomes more evident.

The Editorials this Season and How they are Presented!

Epitomizing an enigmatic vibe, the genuineness of using actual models and the idea of representing fashion features through undisclosed imagery and photography resonates an imaginative approach to editorial trends this season.

That is why journalism is so intriguing and unrestrained a field, it is where you can be infinitely playful and innovative. Irony is embedded as faceless and lifeless accentuates life and authenticity!

The impossible is envisioned as possible in these editorials, whether it is with make up or anything else you might wear. Accessible and communicative, the editorials showcase whimsical, ingenious, and envision the impractical as real and doable, thus contributing a characteristic newness to journalism, fashion, and art.

The editorials feature gothic streetwear and retro streetwear along with obscured, blurry portraits. The editorials additionally play with age, showcasing grandparents as models. This use of regular people and actual models adds a validating feel.

With dramatic beauty editorials to be complemented by intangible, unfeasible make up schemes, the editorials this month shine through with engaging fan photography included. They are notably expressive, with rocker style showcased along with retro and candid sportswear. Collages and active suburban wear showcased in the editorials, is added to by the abstract concepts complemented by body paint.

Some models are personified in a chameleon-like adaptability, where they encase a range of looks. Metamorphic, forthright, and open-ended, these concepts are open to interpretation, and not only that, but are also susceptible to insight and discussion. Paradigmatic shifts in fashioning of fashion, itself, art, and journalism, or other ways of communicating, can be subtle and go unnoticed, but they can bring excitement, novelty, and newness.
