Here are the 10 things we'll all be wearing in 2019

Just as you were all getting comfortable with your winter wardrobes and rediscovering the art of layering, the close of 2018 has got some of us thinking about our 2019 wardrobe.

And - despite a growing number of designers experimenting with the calendar by producing 'see-now-buy-now' collections (to keep up with the impatient demand to own things IMMEDIATELY) - thankfully the majority of the fashion industry still shows its pieces a season in advance, giving the impatient amongst us a sneak peek at upcoming sartorial highlights.

And next year looks set to be a scorcher...

We may have another few months to wait before we can *truly* indulge, but before these pieces land and the trends inevitably take hold of the high street (hey, did we or did we not predict the animal print renaissance back in Feb...?) we can have a lot of fun conjuring up visions of our next season aesthetic.

Why Twinning With Your Coworker Is No Coincidence—It’s Science

“One time I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip-flops, so I bought army pants and flip-flops.” Remember that iconic Mean Girls quote? Half of it came to fruition on a recent Friday, when three Vogue editors—Fashion News Director Chioma Nnadi, Emerging Platforms & Fashion News Editor Steff Yotka, and Living Editor Ella Riley-Adams—happened to wear three variations of camouflage cargo pants to the office. Each had a different reason for wearing the combat-ready trousers (the search for a “subversive uniform,” or an “office-to-Netflix” transitional piece).

This trifecta of camo had a strange effect on me, too. When the next Friday rolled around, I found myself gravitating toward a pair of camo Wranglers—not quite as casual as jeans, not quite dress pants. They had just the right amount of printed funk to add some kick to my standard lazy look, and suddenly, I was ready to match with my colleagues, too.

Jin Goo Reveals Why He Changed His Fashion Style After (Descendants Of The Sun)

On November 25, “Untouchable” actors Jin Goo and Go Jun Hee made a rare variety show appearance on the JTBC show “Ask Us Anything.”

On the show, Jin Goo bonded with Seo Jang Hoon over his love of basketball and revealed how his life changed after the popularity of “Descendants of the Sun.” He shared that a fan had once told him he needed to wear uniforms in dramas from now for those shows to do well and said, “In ‘Untouchable,’ I play a detective and I don’t really wear a particular uniform so some of my fans were concerned.”

He added later, “I really liked wearing military-style clothes in my personal style, but after filming “Descendants of the Sun,” I got a little embarrassed [to wear that]. In case people thought I was trying too hard [to get recognized].”

These Are the Accessories Brands Net-a-Porter Is Getting Behind in 2018

We love Net-a-Porter for its up-to-the-second trends and interest in new brands. The e-commerce giant is never one to shy away from up-and-coming designers (they were one of the first to pick up brands, like Staud), and are always first to showcase fresh talent. This season, we got some insider info on the new accessories brands Net-a-Porter is eyeing up for next year. Scroll below for seven new companies that are sure to sell out once they hit the website.

LEIGH MILLER

Leigh Miller is the eponymous Los Angeles-based jewelry line by Leigh Miller Newman, a former designer for J.Crew and Calvin Klein. Miller’s handcrafted collections are all inspired by nature and art. Better yet? Nearly every piece is under $500.

Grecian Goddesses

Part of the infamous Victoria Secret Fashion was inspired by Greek and Roman Goddesses.

Looking more like a Las Vegas Review, the Angels came out in a glamorous costume display of golden wings and sheer togas.

Kendall Jenner Just Beat This Brazilian Bombshell to Become the World’s Highest Paid Model

As much as being a supermodel is about working with the right designers and building an impressive portfolio, it’s also about turning a profit. When it comes to the biggest stars, the business of being beautiful can be incredibly lucrative, especially for household names like Gisele Bündchen and Kendall Jenner, who lead the pack on Forbes’s newly announced ranking of 2017’s top-earning models. Though the list itself yielded few surprises—Victoria’s Secret Angels, Insta girls, and other headline-making stars all feature—Jenner unseating Bündchen for the top spot was unexpected. Bündchen has held the title every year since the list began in 2002, but Jenner’s reported $22 million figure from the last 12 months—thanks to the combined earnings from her reality show, cosmetics contracts, and endorsements—helped to push her over the edge.

As jaw-dropping as the numbers seem, Jenner and Bündchen’s actual salaries may not match the estimates. While there is no doubt that all the superstars featured on Forbes’s list make millions, the accuracy of the math involved has been the subject of debate. In the past, Bündchen has criticized the publication for inflating her income and subsequently drawing the attention of the IRS. Getting audited shortly after being named highest-earning model in the world, Bündchen told Brazilian blog MdeMulher at the time that her reported income was inaccurate and the attention she received as a result was largely negative. “It’s sad because the people who write these things don’t have my bank account details,” shared Bündchen. “I do okay, I earn plenty, but not as much as they say. I’ve already been audited by the IRS because of this list, and, truthfully, whether I’m on this list or not doesn’t interest me.”

As amusing as it is to chart the upward progression of celebrity incomes, the speculation has its downside. Getting audited isn’t exactly glamorous and according to Bündchen, the focus on the financials doesn’t take into consideration all she is beyond her bank account. “I’ve got the same interests, the same day-to-day life, as any woman. I want to raise my children well, be a good wife, and work. This is what I value: Are my children educated, is my husband happy, are people feeling positive energy from me?” said Bündchen, who wishes the media would talk about less tangible qualities like relevance, intelligence, and personality. “There should be a magazine to quantify knowledge, understanding, and love for people: That is power.” Whether or not Jenner went home with $22 million in the bank or not, it’s clear she’s done well for herself. Being the highest-paid model is nice, but the real accomplishment comes from what you do with all the attention.

Gucci Launches Eccentric Resort 2018 Collection

This collection of artistic and historical value is able to steal the attention of the top fashion lovers.

As a fashion house with high artistic value, Gucci collection design always comes with detail, embroidery, ornaments, and rich in texture. Alessandro Michele, Creative Director Gucci always succeeded in presenting the values in tune with the collection and runway place.

Call it a collection of Gucci Resort 2018, Alessandro deliberately chose the Pitti Palace, Florence, Italy that represents the beauty of the Renaissance. Of course this is in line with the theme that carried the fashion brand. In addition, Alessandro deliberately designed benches decorated with poems by Bacchus 'Song by Lorenzo de' Medici to increase his artistic value.

Reported by Vogue, this fashion show is also backed by a harp music game that is in seven different rooms. This installation is in harmony with the nuanced collection of flora and fauna that characterize the Renaissance era. Print roses that look natural not only found in dress and female tops, but also for men.

The touch of the Renaissance was increasingly felt with a headdress in the form of gold leaf with a very thick with the history of that period. Even some models use accessories on the hands and faces to make it look artistic.

Meanwhile WWD released, singer Fransesco Bianconi also walked on the runway using a tapestry suit combined with red roses. In addition to flowers, long-haired man is also decorated Gucci collection with a dragon motif on the front of the clothing.

Fransesco also appeared eccentric with jogging pants, ruffle tops and bright burgundy matelassé mantles. He also did not hesitate mengumbar Gucci logo on midi skirt, men's trousers, bomber jacket, and fur.

Despite spending 200,000 euros in renting Pitti Palace, Gucci successfully brings his brand back to his hometown as well as cultural roots in Florence. Gucci also plans to donate 2 million euros within three years in order to restore the Boboli park as part of the 'Primavera di Boboli' cultural project. This fashion show was also attended by Sir Elton John, Beth Ditto, Kirsten Dunst, Dev Hynes, Dakota Johnson, and Soko. (Aulia DH)

Art & Breast Awareness - KUDOS & M2 Galleries.

In the interest of avoiding upsetting anyone too much - one hopes, with our first post for 2017 - I will point out very early on that the awareness at the joint show at KUDOS was of a very different nature to the underground comix art type of breast awareness at the group show at M2 gallery. Space 1, KUDOS was (on NOW) Bec Litvan's BEAUTY AND THE BREAST; Painting, Photography, beautiful decorative Mastectomy Bras and a table of pearls as part of the installation. Bec told me the work was born out of the change she saw in her mothers personality after the breast cancer operation, the works are intended to bring back the beauty and a sense of the joys of life, and her mum modelled for the photographs in the show. Beautiful work. Scroll down to continue reading.

Was it a strange coincidence to be at M2 the very next night? GORO a group show of five artists who, as mentioned above are very much in the style of the underground Comix of the 70's & 80's; think Charles Burns, Robert Crumb & H R Giger but with an Aussie-Goth/Surf Culture tie in.. And the breasts? Well of course, Dominatrix style and plenty of them. I must admit I rather enjoyed this show and it was a great and friendly crowd for the lens of Street Fashion Sydney too. GORO on now with, CAL SINO // ZIGENDEMONIC //QUARTZVII // NERDGORE // SAMSON at M2 Gallery, Click Here for more details - on until the 17th of January.
