Early last year, a new designer emerged under the Instagram handle @ebonytylah. With no website and a bio simply reading “dreaming of the past,” the mysterious account’s feed consisted of artfully shot, unisex jeans available to buy via DM, printed with some of history’s most treasured documents and artworks: illuminated manuscripts from the Dark Ages; etchings of medieval mappa mundi; reproductions of maximalist scenes of violence and passion as painted by some of the greatest Renaissance and Baroque artists.

art and culture

The expression ‘making fashion for real women’ has been so exploited it’s almost lost its meaning. But Spanish designer Moisés Nieto is determined to rescue the term’s essence with every new collection. “For this one,” Nieto said, “I have focused on the aesthetics of the daily grind, something that Ramón Masats did a lot through his photography, especially during the postwar era, when clothing didn’t really evolve much and orbited around utility and functionality.” Those are two words that have become familiar terms for the fashion industry this year; in this designer’s case, they have proven themselves not just appealing but also highly profitable. “I have been really lucky despite the horrendous circumstances. During the pandemic, we managed to increase our online sales by 300%,” he said.

While the situation in South Korea is currently stable, the week’s organizers were keen to ensure that this season’s events went ahead as responsibly as possible, with all of the shows live-streamed without an audience. Yet what emerged from these limitations was a surprising amount of creativity, with many of the week’s standout collections coming by way of younger and emerging voices.

“The Conscience of the Global Fashion Industry Lies Here”—Prabal Gurung on Being a Designer Who Stands for Something

art and culture

Prabal Gurung is one of New York fashion’s most outspoken designers, advocating for the rights of women, immigrants (he’s Nepalese-American, himself), and LGBTQ people on his runways and on his social media. Lately, Gurung has been especially vocal about the rise of anti-Asian violence. On Sunday he helped to organize a Black and Asian solidarity run in lower Manhattan with friends and fellow designers Phillip Lim and Dao-Yi Chow. Before that he sat down with Vogue for a Twitter interview about mixing politics and fashion. “For me,” he clarified, “they are human issues.” This interview has been edited and condensed.
