Do we need to dress like a man to be respected at work? This big #tailoring trend, showcased by iconic brands like Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, and Stella McCartney, embraces the boldness of women's fashion through tailoring and menswear-inspired silhouettes. Picture this: empowered women stepping onto the runway, styled in oversized two-pieces that exude confidence. With sharp shoulders and wide-leg, low-rise pants, these designs command attention and redefine what it means to be both fierce and sophisticated. These outfits are not just clothing; they represent a mindset. They reflect an independent woman who is business-oriented and ready to dominate any space she enters. The max-sized silhouettes symbolize strength, making a statement that she is here to be seen and heard. Let’s remember that fashion is a powerful form of expression. It’s about more than aesthetics. It’s about empowerment. In today’s society, where women’s skills are often overshadowed by their appearance, adopting an androgynous style offers a powerful counter-narrative. At Livetrend.co we called this trend for #SS25 FORMAL POWER.

I like it when people start to speak poetic about their field of work https://lnkd.in/dsNMe8kS. I also have some poetic feelings about fashion, but with a bit different perspective. For me, as an ex-biologist, that deeply inside is never 'ex', fashion is attractive because it is a miniature of biological evolution. I was always inspired by the fact that the world is logical, but in the our-size universe, there are two main types of logic: 1) mathematical - what is commonly taken as 'logic', and 2) evolutionary - that is built on chaos, the second law of the thermodynamics, and irreversibility of the past. Being created by the human mind, clothing follows the laws of nature. Evolutionary but not mathematical logic. It behaves like the part of the body, like our second skin that develops according to climate, social, historical, and other complicated environmental conditions. Being the way to protect our bodies, express hierarchical status, live, and communicate it's shaped in a way that tells us the story about the past and the whole way from 'then' to 'now'. Evolutionary logic has a huge explanatory but very little predictive power. All the predictions are always very blurry and rarely proven to be right. And maybe it's not bad because we, humans, like the sense of novelty. We like to find new ways in the landscape of possible decisions. Being future-blind gives us the chance to see the light again and again. And it is so inspiring to see how the human mind solves new riddles and finds new solutions for something that has been with us for ages. Another interesting and evolution-connected point of fashion is the excess. And that is also so biological! The common perception of Darwinian models of evolution is always concentrated on selection. But for me, the core that we always need to look at is the excess of the substrate. Natural selection is just the way how the overwhelming power of life squeezes through the deadly landscape of the unwelcoming world. Losing the mass and energy but acquiring the new shape. For me, it's not the tool to find the best solution rather than a traumatic trace of the past. But these traumas become a structure, individuality, strength, and uniqueness. The excess of fashion productions is what we are talking about a lot today while developing the concepts of sustainable fashion, secondary fashion, and digital fashion. For us today this kind of excess is an ecological problem, and that is absolutely true. But for the future shape of the closing, it can be something that will melt into new aesthetics, new shapes, new social relationships, and who-knows-what-else. I like fashion because it's so understandable when we look at the past and so unclear when we try to guess what is coming. Because it's the continuation of our biological body. Because it's something that everyone can create and experiment with.

Manhood is being reinvented with the New Masculinity, styles are played with even more and fashion is becoming increasingly genderless. But one trademark remains unchanged in men's fashion: the suit – whether bright, edgy, fancy or classic. For me, a well-fitted suit is an expression of personal and professional identity. 🤵🏼 Especially in times of recession, uncertainty and losses, this item of clothing provides security. With a suit you know what you have. It is a no-brainer: a good suit will always complement your charisma and individuality, your professionality and seriosity. For many people a suit can function as a shield, like a second skin or a layer of armour. This feeling of being safe or protected can boost confidence and provide a sense of empowerment. To put in a nutshell: a well-crafted suit is not merely a garment; it is a timeless statement. And this is what our brand Dressler Bekleidungswerke Brinkmann GmbH & Co. KG stands for. ✨ Which piece of fashion is your no-brainer? ✔️ #bebugatti #wearebugatti #dressler

It's NYC Fashion Week! Bring some of the runway fashion trends to your wardrobe or think outside the "closet" with your existing garments. ICYMI - I shared some Fall fashion trends last week on Augusta WRDW/WAGT News 12 26 The Morning Mix. Below are a few trends to try this fall. 1. Lightweight trench coat instead of blazer 2. Mix denim with business attire. Help the sustainability movement by upcycling garments. In my example, I styled a denim skirt as a "corset" with a belt layered over a short-sleeved black dress. 3. Show off those legs in the Fall! Wear textured shorts under a long, comfy coat, or add tights to your shorts with boots. 4. Vintage Leopard is making a roaring statement this season. If you are conservative, add a leopard print scarf to your basic black, tan, or winter white garment. If you like bold colors, then add a leopard scarf to a solid red garment. What trend will you try this Fall? Watch the full segment using the link below. https://lnkd.in/eSabB_Q8

Did you know at Editorialist it's not only about dressing an audience of female shoppers- we inspire the world's most affluent and fashionable men. A bit more about our POV on mens fashion: His style is refined and understated. He doesn't chase trends; instead, he embraces classic pieces that will never go out of style, embodying a sense of refined sophistication in everything he wears. In terms of clothing, he prefers impeccably tailored pieces crafted from the finest materials. His wardrobe is filled with cashmere sweaters, perfectly fitted blazers, tailored trousers, and sumptuous outerwear. Each garment is carefully selected for its quality, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal. His color palette tends to lean towards neutral tones such as navy, charcoal, camel, and ivory, which further accentuates the timeless nature of his wardrobe. He appreciates subtle patterns like herringbone or subtle checks, but he never veers into anything overly bold or flashy. Accessories are understated yet refined. He opts for high-quality leather goods such as a classic leather belt, a well-crafted briefcase, and perhaps a pair of polished leather shoes from renowned shoemakers. He understands that accessories are the finishing touches that complete an ensemble, and he chooses them with care. Brands He Turns To:  Brunello Cuccinelli Loro Piana Tom Ford The Row Ralph Lauren Zegna If you're a male fashion brand- reach out to me or Kimberly Hurd. We'd love to work together!
