ICYMI: Saint Laurent in Berlin, Loewe x Luca Guadagnino and Ann Demeulemeester chairs
Time flies, so to keep you in the loop, we’ve rounded up all the important snippets of fashion news from the past seven days into one neat feature. This week includes selfies, amps and Mick Jagger.
KNWLS unveiled a sequel to their PROXY lockdown project
We were several months into lockdown when KNWLS dropped PROXY, their photography project in celebration of community, individuality and togetherness during the early stages of the pandemic.
In a series of purposefully low-key and amateur shots taken by the models themselves, PROXY was both a fashion show and an art project, and something that the minds behind KNWLS, Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault, knew was too good to leave as a one-off.
Enter PROXY 2.0. Styled by Georgia Pendlebury and featuring familiar faces such as Alva Claire, Mia Regan and Xen Hur, this sequel project expands on the limits of the first.
Saint Laurent got the band together
Yes, if you so wish (and we do), you can now own a Saint Laurent guitar. Teaming up with Fender for a limited edition Stratocaster, ’65 Deluxe Reverb amp, and celluloid guitar picks, it’s a collaboration that amps up Saint Laurent’s sonic heritage.
Axel Arigato on tour

Anthony Vaccarello took Saint Laurent to Berlin
Inside the German capital’s incredible Neue Nationalgalerie, the Saint Laurent became a futuristic maestro: exaggerated shoulders, narrow waist and bowtie. Set to a brooding electro-classical soundtrack, delicate, sculpted fabrics wrapped around bodies and heels elevated silhouettes literally and figuratively. Marks out of ten for sensual beauty: 10!
Av Vattev had moves like Jagger
Paying tribute to ol’ snake hips himself, London designer Av Vattev took Jagger’s androgynous style and sliced it up: tailoring swung across the body while pointed collars and tons of check were pure 21st-century dandyism.
