📰 Dauphinette's Spring 2027 Show Finds Beauty in Returning to Itself {% if EntryImageUrl and EntryImageUrl != "" %} {% endif %} ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: On Saturday night, Dauphinette hosted its Spring 2027 show inside Genesis House, marking a return for the brand as an alum of the CFDA x Genesis House AAPI Design + Innovation Grant it won in 2025. For inspiration, Founder and Designer Olivia Cheng turned to the idea of the mondegreen — a phrase so often misheard that the mishearing takes on a life of its own. “A mondegreen is a lyric, a sentence or a phrase that is written as one thing but misheard or misinterpreted as something else,” Cheng told Fashionista post-show.

📰 At Tibi's Spring 2027 Show, Dolly Parton's Spirit Lives On {% if EntryImageUrl and EntryImageUrl != "" %} {% endif %} ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: For Spring 2027, Tibi Founder and Creative Director Amy Smilovic traveled south for inspiration — to Nashville, specifically. She didn’t go the predictable route (think: cowboy hats and chaps), though; rather, the designer wanted to observe “people who were really comfortable dressing like outsiders but not caring,” she told Fashionista backstage ahead of the show. “Then, we realized once we got to Nashville that we were the outsiders, which set up a really interesting way of thinking of who’s in and who’s out. We really just wanted to embrace the absolute ease and spirit of the place.” The collection’s opening look — a relaxed-fit blazer, paired with slouchy dark-wash jeans and snake-print cowboy boots — exemplifies this approach.
