Chanel Went ‘Legally Blonde’ Pink For Spring 2021 At Paris Fashion Week

Image
It was clear that Chanel’s spring ’21 show would have something to do with Hollywood and the movies. The day before the show, the brand released a teaser, filmed by photographer duo Inez & Vinoodh, showing a replica of the famous Hollywood sign done in “CHANEL,” along with a series of dramatic vignettes in which models-as-actresses performed recurring cinematic situations. Fast forward a day, and the Grand Palais was filled with those giant iconic letters done in white. Models walked out from them wearing a series of black, white and bubblegum pink looks, Chanel style. While it may not have been the explicit intent of Chanel creative director Virginie Viard, the collection looks primed for a “Legally Blonde” comeback.

Rick Owens Spring 2021 Had Cotton Candy Thigh-High Platforms — and Matching Face Masks

Rick Owens loves a platform. His signature boots, with a formidable square toe metal grill and oversized grommets, have walked his dystopian runways since the the fall ’19 season, and he’s made them part of every collection since then. They’ve also developed a fashion-cult following , and the designer often wears the towering footwear himself. For spring ’21, the usually dark Owens went a little lighter on the footwear — at least in color. The platforms were once again there in all their post-apocalyptic glory , but this time they came mostly in cotton candy or bubblegum pink hue, along with a bright candy-apple red (and a very-Rick slick black). The designer also took the boot up a few notches by extending them up over the thigh, with rectangular tabs reaching the hips of the models who wore them.

Kenzo Introduced the Bee as Its Spring Emblem and Created Buzz Worthy New Shoes

There was a real buzz about the Kenzo show today in Paris and it wasn’t just the bees flitting amongst the wild flowers that populated the bucolic Paris setting. Like many designers in this time of pandemic creative director Felipe Oliveira Baptista was thinking protection — of people and planet alike. He took these bees as his emblem for spring 2021, dubbing them “the regulators of the planet.” Kenzo spring 2021 CREDIT: Kenzo “Now, more than ever we are overwhelmed by a sense of urgency to take care and protect our world,” he said in his show notes. “Bees and beekeepers with their clothing and hats that echo so strongly the fragility and distance imposed and needed today.” Baptista riffed off the idea with exaggerated beekeeper veils and archival Kenzo poppies and hortensia prints given a “digital crying effect.” “I wanted to express anxiety and sadness but also something very optimistic and uplifting,” he said.

With most of the spring ’21 season shown virtually this fashion month, it’s been difficult to keep everyones attention. Which is why Coach tapped not just one but more than 10 bold-faced names for its own virtual presentation, which it showed Tuesday, outside of its usual New York Fashion Week slot. The “show” began with a singular Instagram post of music artist Megan Thee Stallion, standing in a desert-like location outside of Los Angeles, wearing an organic cotton and recycled-material trench coat, a brown leather tote and kitten heels. “Welcome to Forever,” read the caption, introducing its “Coach Forever” collection for spring ’21.
