One thing that characterises BBNaija apart from the drama and fights is usually their fashion. This year, Whitemoney made some very impressive fashion statements that set tongues wagging.

Paris Fashion Museum Stages First Show of Its Fashion History Permanent Collection

The Palais Galliera, also known as Paris Fashion Museum, is staging the first exhibition of its permanent fashion collection with a show of 350 pieces of clothing, accessories and documents spanning from the 18th century to the present day. The exhibition titled, “Une Histoire de la Mode” will be on display till June 26 in the Gabrielle Chanel Galleries in the museum’s basement.

Paris Fashion Museum Exhibit

The inaugural exhibition was originally planned to mark the 100th anniversary of the museum’s founding act – the donation of more than 2,000 pieces of clothing to the City of Paris by the Society of Costume History in 1920. Many of the pieces exhibited haven’t been shown in a while and are said to be very fragile.

“We have to continue to replenish the collection, maybe more quickly now in order to be able to renew this exhibition, and also to finance the restoration of the pieces so they can go on display. That’s why there aren’t many permanent fashion galleries in the world,” said Alexandre Samson, director of contemporary collections at Palais Galliera. “We talk a lot [among fashion museums] because we’re all dealing with the same issues and challenges. Having said that, it’s a beautiful project that responds to a real demand from our audience and from the public in general,” she added.

The outfits are displayed in chronological order and include a dark men’s coat from between 1660 and 1675. A lot of the museum’s collections come from donations of collection prototypes by Balenciaga in 1970 and acquisitions made from the proceeds of the annual Vogue Paris Foundation gala.

The virtual IVLP project titled, “Promoting Economic Growth and Trade in the Fashion Industry” gave the 20 participants the unique opportunity to connect with their U.S. counterparts and enriched their knowledge of entrepreneurship, business development, and innovation in the U.S. fashion industry. The goal of the three-week program was to promote economic growth and trade in the fashion industry by empowering local fashion designers, to not only thrive in the Nigerian and global fashion marketplace.

“In the last few years, Nigeria and the United States have witnessed growing cultural ties. This fashion IVLP project is a fantastic example of our strategic economic outreach to Nigeria’s creative industries to further strengthen economic ties through culture and fashion,” Pierangelo said.

The reception hosted by U.S. Chargé d’affaires Kathleen FitzGibbon and Consul General Pierangelo was attended by an eclectic mix of guests including Nigeria’s pioneer fashion designer, Shade Thomas-Fahm; Senator Florence Ita-Giwa; Mrs Folorunsho Alakija; and former Chairman of Access Bank, Mr Gbenga Oyebode.

Closing out Milan Fashion Week, the two labels came together and presented a collection, featuring a mash-up of some of their most iconic styles. Kim Jones, Creative Director of Fendi Womenswear described it as “the beauty of togetherness”. Some notable pieces included a modern take on Versace’s safety-pin dress and Fendi’s Baguette and Peekaboo bags.

“It’s a first in the history of fashion: two designers having a true creative dialogue that stems from respect and friendship,” said Donatella Versace. “It led to us swapping roles to create these two collections.”

Other pieces included a denim suit with Fendi and Versace logo prints, silk headscarves, baroque prints, and gold metal dresses. The runway also featured some of the top supermodels, including Naomi Campbell, Gigi Hadid, Vittoria Ceretti, and Adut Akech.

Pixelated Fashion Showcased at Milan Design Week

Clothing took on a whole new level at the Milan Design Week with pixelated outfits. At the event, Latvian native Santa Kupča presented her “Decrypted Garments” on three large screens. She used them to highlight “how the virtual world is forever morphing fleeting images around us.” Her presentation was part of “Missed Your Call,” Design Academy Eindhoven’s graduate exhibition at the annual Italian showcase.

The inspiration for this showcase came when Kupča realised that even the digital world is not without restrictions. From her experience with digital designing, she often encountered errors, bugs, and “server not found” messages. With this, she “created a digital runway for a fashion show that embraces these glitches and exists as a monument for lockdown fashion.” With clothes, shoes, and bags from her collection, she generated 8 3D scans of garments that “seem to live their own lives in this virtual realm.”

“The garments are inspired by renaissance silhouettes, setting an interpretation of modern gothic with robust and rough structures,” Kupča says. “Each piece in the collection is fragmented and asymmetric to emphasize how errors and distortion can often lead to unexpected beauty.”

The outfits sway and move in hundreds of accentuated pixels, as though being worn by an invisible model.
