From Lady Gaga to HoYeon Jung, Selena Gomez and more.

Awards season is finally in full swing. After one too many virtual acceptance speeches and axed affairs, the 28th SAG Awards was a refreshing reentry to the red carpet. You want Jeremy Strong in a pink velvet tux? You got it! The cast of Squid Game cheesing for the cameras? Check. This event has it all!

The Screen Actors Guild returned to in-person pomp and pageantry Sunday (February 27) at The Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California to celebrate the film and TV that defined 2021. A not-to-be-missed affair, the awards are a bellwether for the acting categories at the Oscars (to be held March 27) — and if Squid Game‘s loot is any indication of what’s to come, the South Korean drama may

Omi Woods’ contemporary heirlooms are rooted in heritage and culture.

Can any industry be truly sustainable? Ashley Alexis McFarlane, owner of Canadian jewellery brand Omi Woods, thinks not. Unlike a certain bejewelled House of Gucci character, McFarlane does, however, believe in being ethical.

“Living 100 per cent off the land is the only way to be sustainable, and even then humans will have some impact,” she says. “I do believe in being ethical. Both words are thrown around a lot.”

Omi Woods’ treasures are created with fair trade African gold sourced from small-scale artisanal mines that use traditional low-impact methods. Its silver is sourced from casting houses that use a blend of recycled and pure silver.

Designers at London Fashion Week Fall 2022 followed this archetype to a tee, trading in locker lined halls for glitzy catwalks.

However, the UK introduced some extremes. While seventies flair, sheer dresses and patterns galore added some pizzazz, the real wow factor came in the form of inflatable fashions, oversized hats and feline accessories. It

Chatting Sex and the City, sustainability and vintage fabric with designers Rianna + Nina.

In a televised sea of unattainable lifestyles and scripted drama, fashion is one element we can replicate in reality.

The transfixing glow of fashion forward television draws us into the lives and wardrobes of the best dressed characters on screen as we lose ourselves in their fictitious affairs. We may never live like them, but with stylists pulling from real life racks we can certainly dress like them.

The whimsicality of luxury label Rianna + Nina’s designs lend themselves fittingly to bubbly characters like Sex and the City’s Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) in its reboot And Just Like That… and effervescent American expat Emily Cooper (Lilly Collins) in season two of Emily

Alberta Ferretti collaborates with bodywear brand Wolford

Who says hosiery has to be basic? For Alberta Ferretti’s collaboration with Wolford, the Italian designer defied this very assumption and created a collection of elaborate tights, bodysuits, dresses and tops. The capsule combines Wolford’s mastery of second-skin pieces with Ferretti’s soft yet sultry femininity and can only be described as a best of both worlds.
