📰 The Museum at FIT Gets All Dolled Up With New Exhibit Exploring Fashion’s Favorite Plaything {% if EntryImageUrl and EntryImageUrl != "" %} {% endif %} ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: It’s no secret that dolls have had a major influence on the fashion world, with Loewe’s cartoonish foam pumps and Marc Jacobs’ dramatically proportioned dresses being just a couple of recent examples. Meanwhile, fashionable figurines like Barbie, Bratz and Polly Pocket are among the industry’s busiest collaborators. It all stems from the longstanding phenomenon of “doll dressing.” Coined by the Museum at FIT’s Senior Curator Dr. Colleen Hill, the phrase describes clothing, accessories, hair and makeup that draw inspiration from dolls, a concept that dates back centuries. Now, with the institution’s latest exhibit — also titled “Doll Dressing” — this subject is explored in depth for the very first time. ...

📰 Street Style Goes Back to School at London Fashion Week {% if EntryImageUrl and EntryImageUrl != "" %} {% endif %} ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: The fashion crowd may have migrated from New York to London for the next chapter of the Spring 2027 shows, but fall was clearly the season at the top of showgoers’ minds.

📰 Meet Onalaja, a Demi-Couture Label Catering to the 'Women That Luxury Forgot' {% if EntryImageUrl and EntryImageUrl != "" %} {% endif %} ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: Over the summer, as Kanyinsola Onalaja was preparing for her namesake womenswear brand’s London Fashion Week debut on the official calendar, a fire ripped through her office and warehouse. Nearly all of the demi-couture label’s previous collections, samples, fabrics, archives and sketchbooks were destroyed. Thankfully, Onalaja and her entire team were safe. Rather than throwing in the towel, the British Fashion Council/ Vogue Designer Fashion Fund 2026 finalist revisited an unrealized collection she designed in 2020 entitled “Rising From the Ashes.” Perhaps in a stroke of serendipity, Onalaja reworked her original sketches through the lens of a phoenix, drawing upon her experience with the devastating fire and her courage to start from scratch. The particularly poignant colle...
