5 Trends To Embrace In 2018

5 Trends To Embrace In 2018

Set your sights on the new season? Up your game with Vogue's edit of trends for 2018. We're talking ugly shoes (it's a thing!), the fresh model face to know, and the unlikely return of cycling shorts... all beautifully illustrated by fashion's favourite illustrator, Tanya Ling.

Short Order

Cycling shorts are back, requisitioned from the Eighties aerobics studio. Well, only if they’re beautifully rendered in lace, as seen at Saint Laurent, where they were worn underneath a voluminous ball gown, or Nina Ricci, where they underscored tassel-heavy shirts. Time to tone up those thighs.

Radical Transparency

The style cognoscenti don't waste time with handbag clutter. Streamline your daily haul and upgrade your wallet: with plastic as a key catwalk trend at Valentino (seen here, with a studded purse interior), Chanel and Céline, your entirely see-through handbag should only reveal a neatly curated interior.

The Cardigan Fling

Any summer wedding guest can throw a cardigan over their dress - it’s those who are fastening them at the throat with a bejewelled brooch, arms left trailing (à la Erdem) that are winning right now.

Pretty In Porcelain

You're never too old to play with porcelain: a raspberry chain of embroidered dolls on white cotton at Simone Rocha, inspired by her collection of childhood toys, is the new-season update on florals. If that feels a little girly, try chintzy feet: Mulberry's sleek ankle boots come with a bone china heel fit for a country house dresser.

Fresh Face: Fran Summers

We love the lissom Yorkshire teen Fran Summers, who stormed spring at Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton and Céline in her debut season. Her agent signed her up on the premise that she reminded him of a young Natalie Portman, playing child assassin Mathilda in Léon. True to form, she's killing it.

The 2018 GLAAD Media Awards Nominees Include Miley Cyrus and Kesha—See the Full List

The 29th annual GLAAD Media Awards nominees were announced live from the Sundance Film Festival on Friday, and your favorite celebrities are in the running for an award. Each year, the organization, which is the world’s largest for LGBTQ advocacy, honors those who use their platform to champion LGBTQ-include stories.

So who made the cut? Miley Cyrus, Kesha, Halsey, Sam Smith, and Kelela (to name a few) are in the running for Outstanding Music Artist, while the year’s top films like Call Me by Your Name, Lady Bird, and Battle of the Sexes received a nod. In addition, Jay-Z will receive a Special Recognition Award for his song and music video “Smile,” which features his mother, Gloria Carter, who came out as a lesbian in the song.

“At a time when anti-LGBTQ policies and harassment are on the rise, it is imperative that Hollywood and news media tell more LGBTQ stories that reflect the community’s rich diversity—and build understanding that brings all communities closer together,” GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement. “This year’s nominee showcase stories that span races, genres, ages, and geographies, challenge misconceptions, and broaden understanding and acceptance of LGBTQ people across the globe.”

The GLAAD Media Awards ceremonies are scheduled for April 12 in L.A. and May 5 in New York. See the nominees below—and visit glaad.org for the full list.
