The culture of fashion: Tilda Swinton x HADES

Tilda Swinton x HADES

HADES just teased this killer collab on Instagram. A teeny tiny capsule collection of four knits, three skirts and two scarves co-designed with Tilda Swinton and “inspired by Tilda herself, as well as four films from her filmography: Female Perversions, Last of England, Orlando and Suspiria”, it’s a great example of the niche HADES has carved celebrating cult artists and musicians in the medium of clothes.

The shapes are simple but contemporary and all pieces are made in England and Scotland. I’m all over this boxy ‘TILDA’ cardigan (above) for starters. Tilda Swinton x HADES is available online here, or in September from the HADES Mayfair pop-up.

Joe McKenna x Zara AW23

Joe McKenna Zara menswear aw23

LOL. Joe McKenna is so simultaneously legendary and low key that his Zara menswear limited edition collab went completely under my radar. I just discovered it by chance (it launched a month ago) and it seems there’s plenty left online. (OK looks like he styled it, rather than ‘designed’ it, but still.)

Joe McKenna is the super-stylist who has worked extensively with Bruce Weber and Steven Meisel (another publicity-shy-yet-AAA-list image-maker who Zara persuaded to create a collection) and in his dim, distant past, also acted in Corrie (as you do). (more…)

(UPDATED) Shop the post: Peter Do x Banana Republic

UPDATE: THE COLLECTION JUST DROPPED. SHOP THE BEST PIECES BELOW.

Update on Peter Do x Banana Republic.

The collab got a soft launch on the Peter Do Paris runway (above and below) last week and it’s looking pretty good.

There are 28 pieces, of which this trench looks like a best-seller, along with the patch pocket silk shirt and camel trouser suit. The pleated coat dress-y number looks like the showstopper, while the pleated skirt-and-trouser layered ensemble has its own post-punk appeal. (more…)

Gentlewoman style: Peter Do x Banana Republic

Peter Do x Banana Republic AW23

“I feel like the industry is going through sort of a collaboration exhaustion, and I didn’t want to add any more to that conversation if I didn’t have anything new to say. If we do this, I said, we have to do it in a way where we don’t sacrifice any design integrity…After visiting the stores, I realized the quality is really amazing.”
Peter Do, Vogue.

The Peter Do x Banana Republic collab sounds promising doesn’t it? While we await his debut collection for Helmut Lang at NYFW next month, we’re being teased with this capsule Banana Republic semi-reveal, which lands in October. (more…)
