ALEXANDER MCQUEEN DROPS LOOKBOOK FOR PATTERN HEAVY FW19 COLLECTION

Alexander McQueen has released its full lookbook for the Fall/Winter 2019 season. As one of the industry’s premier fashion houses, the brand looks to stay consistent this year by creating clothes that strike a fine balance between on-trend and traditional luxury. The cooler season brings forth a bevy of pieces that are built for those with a flair for the dramatic but also those who have an astute taste in impeccable cuts. Suiting is a prime example of the label’s expertise as we see blazers in slimmer proportions as well as trousers. Patterns define the whole collection this time around with large plaids, playful floral prints and abstract designs. Embellishments are another wow factor in the range as we see jeweled blazers, embroidered jackets and rose-embellished knits. The elegantly rebellious collective echoes Alexander McQueen’s powerful point of view in high-fashion, which continues to be respected by insiders as well as well-informed fashion fans. Take a look at the full pictorial above.

PAUL POGBA & ADIDAS REUNITE FOR BASKETBALL-INSPIRED COLLABORATION

adidas has continued its ongoing collaboration with France and Manchester United footballer Paul Pogba.

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER IS ARGUABLY SUPREME’S EDGIEST COLLABORATOR YET

Supreme has revealed its latest high-fashion collaboration, this time with famed Parisian designer Jean Paul Gaultier. Gaultier is best known for his ready-to-wear label and couture collections of the ’80s, ’90s, and mid-’00s, as well as his seven-year tenure as creative director of Hermès. The new Supreme drop is, according to a quick survey of the Highsnobiety office, “strong,” one that has translated elements of Gaultier’s legendary design philosophy into a palatable range of core streetwear and a bogo-fied edition of his iconic Le Male fragrance. After learning his trade under the tutelage of Pierre Cardin, Gaultier showed his first collection in 1976. A young Martin Margiela was watching and later gushed to Vogue, “I was seized by an excitement I had never felt before.” Nine years later, Gaultier hired Margiela as an assistant. The Belgian designer would eventually make fashion history of his own, and two years under Gaultier helped to foster that. Getty Images / PIERRE VERDY / AFP Gaultier earned his moniker as fashion’s enfant terrible with a procession of irreverent collections, often reacting to the world around him with devious alacrity. For Spring 2005, against the backdrop of France’s national debate on gay marriage, editors were invited not to a fashion show but to a “wedding,” with same-sex models walking down the “aisle” in a collection of kilts, loose satin tailoring, neon sportswear, and rusty orange denim.

YSL Beauty announces a one-of-a-kind pop-up experience for this year’s Coachellafestival. Located in the heart of Palm Springs, the YSL Beauty Station mimics a gas station, offering much more than fuel and your typical road snacks.

Furthermore, decorative heart-shaped balloons reference YLS Beauty’s Volupte Plump-In-Colour. The pop-up store sits behind the YSL Beauty Station, as it houses the label’s newest and best-selling makeup essentials, in addition to a new campaign starring Kaia Gerber. The space includes four areas: one dedicated to the Touche Eclat Radiant Touch pen and the Touche Eclat High Cover Radiant Concealer, one to the Rogue Volupte Shine moisturizing lipstick and Volupte Plump-In-Colour lipstick, one to Tom Pecheux’s Palm Springs makeup looks, and finally one to the Make It Yours station where you can customize your favorite YSL lipstick.

Ahead of a commemorative FW19 collection, the American manufacturer presents its new SS19 assortment.
