"They're everyday professionals who simply don't have the time to shop the traditional way," said Kneen about J. Hilburn customers. Instead, stylists manage fit, fabrics and wardrobe planning, effectively outsourcing the entire process for busy professionals.
Naked mermaids and prancing horses, silk carrots and unshelled peanuts, gilded elephant trunks, drums and masks are just a few of the buttons. The V&A's lavish spring show is a weird and wonderful tumble down the rabbit hole that is Schiaparelli, fashion's house of surrealism.
I designed this bag in the same way I designed everything else, so largely based on right angles, but perhaps a little more emotionally, more personally. Designing a handbag is undoubtedly different to designing a Braun stereo system, but I applied the same principles. It had to be functional, visually durable, and very aesthetic. Less, but better.
We've asked Queerty readers about their preferences when it comes to speedos, jockstraps, thongs and all sorts of scantily clad attire. So this week, in honor of Valentine's Day, we thought we would put it all together. It's time to dress to impress! For some, that means donning a sleek suit or formal wear (we love a man in a tie).

In the show, "dirty" extends to anything that breaks fashion's pact with propriety. Here are clothes caked in grime, blotted with makeup, stiffened by salt, pieced from trash, frayed, and faded. The garments span decades, from the 1980s through the mid-2000s, when the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier built their fame on defying convention, to today, when corporatization has made such daring increasingly rare. But forgoing practicality frees certain designers from the demands that the body be polite-and thereby policed.
It captures seven different femininities during an all-day pool party, enjoying themselves while revealing their distinctive styles. Creative Direction, Production & Styling by Maria Gkin. Photography by Eliza Poultidou. The models are Vanessa Otilia, Cyka, Alvina Chamberland and Angelica Komninak.
