The best from Met Gala 2024
The best from RAHUL MISHRA FALL WINTER 2024/25
In his FW 2024/2025 collection, Rahul Mishra presents a vision that is rooted in sculpture and definition, both in beauty and fashion, looking at his constant muse – nature as the best ultimate artist.
Appreciating the otherwise simple natural forms, the silhouettes are envisioned in bright solid hues and graphic textures and play with geometric representations that bring to the fore the relation of stone and sculpture.
The inspiration reveals itself in rigid but organic installations of natural forms that consist of vegetal and animal motifs.

Ukrainian collection Ghost FW 1999
Tanya Sarne, who founded the Ghost label with Kathryn Hamnett in 1984. Although they parted ways, the brand continued to grow, reaching its peak during the grunge era. In 1992, Ghost was invited to show at New York Fashion Week and continued to present collections in the city for many years, even though the brand was based in London.
Ghost FW 1999 collection under the title “Vyshyvanka-Meets-Victoriana” is clearly inspired by Ukrainian culture: the main symbol of national clothing – an embroidered shirt (vyshyvanka) and yellow-blue colors of the Ukrainian flag. Of course, it should be taken into account that in the 1990s the main trend was minimalism, and designers conveyed this Ukrainian style very succinctly and elegantly.
It was one of the first collections of an international fashion brand dedicated to Ukraine. The brand Ghost works successfully to this day. but we have not been able to find what caused the appeal to the Ukrainian theme. We pray for the victory of Ukraine in the cruel and bloody war waged by Russia and are grateful for any support for Ukraine, the Ukrainian army, the Ukrainian economy, and Ukrainian culture.

The Mask Series: Inge Morath & Saul Steinberg
“One of the most quizzical and fascinating artistic collaborations between a photographer (Inge Morath) and a cartoonist (Saul Steinberg) in history. The result – a curious collection of images often referred to as the “Mask Series”, made between their initial meeting and 1962 – portrays a range of figures wearing various cardboard box and paper bag masks created by Steinberg, photographed in a rather straightforward and unpretentious manner by Morath.”

HATS FROM DIOR SPRING/SUMMER 2024 MENSWEAR
When you imagine a men’s collection from an old brand – you want to yawn. But in recent seasons, the men’s lines of Dior and Louis Vuitton have cheered up fashionistas with a fresh, bright approach to the fashionable man. Of course, a Dior man is unlikely to suit a Dior woman – he is too young and feminine for her.
Extravagant hats by Stephen Jones are my favorite accessory in the Dior ss 2024 men’s collection – it’s the hats that make the look complete and bright. At first glance, it seems that these hats are made of some scraps and food nets. But the work of the hat designer is so harmonious that everything looks like Haute Couture.
