Vogue’s Menswear Editor Picks the Best Looks of the Ongoing Spring 2021 Shows

Michael Philouze, Vogue’s menswear editor, reports on the most eye-catching looks from the ongoing spring 2021 runway season, with highlights from Raf Simons, Marni, Fendi, and more….

Although the ongoing men’s spring 2021 season was short on resources that would allow designers to reach their full creative potential and dreams, credit is due to those that buckled down during a time of great timult. Designers worked tirelessly to rise to the challenges of the day and showed us new ways to connect with fashion, whether that was through animations, virtual reality, or elevated films. They did so with both with an awareness of the times and with the tireless support of fashion organizations like the Council of Fashion Designers of America, the British Fashion Council, France’s Fédération de la Mode, and Italy’s Camera Della Moda. 

Collectively, the clothes shown during this menswear season were ones of visual experimentation with a hint of sweet darkness. My highlights are: the artistic expression of Hugo Boss’ florals with William Farr, Marni’s painted strokes, electric theatrics at both Maison Margiela and Thom Browne, the dancers at Isabel Marant, the visually transcending videos by Raf Simons and Anthony Vaccarello, and the one-of-the-kind collectibles brought to us by Loewe’s show in a box. 

Lastly, as this fashion month moved to find new ways to connect with audiences, we solemnly turn the page with the death of one of the original visionaries, Kenzo Takada, a master of vibrant design and lover of optimism. A true leader in our community who knew, better than anyone, what optimism for the future is all about.

Honk Magazine

In a moment of relatable frustration, Cardi B took to Instagram to share a funny yet surprising story about her expensive $60,000 Birkin bag, one of her favorite items from her luxury collection. Known for her bold personality and honest social media posts, Cardi revealed that one of her daughters had turned the fancy purse into a makeshift canvas, drawing a heart on it without permission. “Look what my daughter did to my purse,” Cardi said dramatically in her Instagram Story, showing off the iconic bag to her followers. “I literally spent $60,000 on this purse,” she exclaimed, still amazed by the unexpected ‘artwork’ from her little girl.

Although she was frustrated, the mom of three tried to take it all in stride, at least for the moment. Cardi values her hard-earned luxury items, especially her growing collection of high end bags. However, as any parent knows, kids have a skill for creating chaos even in the most cherished parts of life. For Cardi, that chaos includes her high-priced accessories. The post quickly gained attention online, with fans sympathizing with Cardi’s situation. Many found humor in the irony of the event, while others offered support, pointing out that such moments are just part of the unpredictable journey of parenthood. Cardi has previously emphasized that family is her top priority, even if it means dealing with some messiness.

But Cardi’s frustration didn’t stop there. She later took to Twitter to respond to comments made by Kanye West regarding her staying power in the spotlight. While she didn’t mention him directly, her tweet, “7 years 1 album… STILL being a topic and STILL being asked about my music!!!” sent a clear message. She confidently asserted her spot in the entertainment world, clarifying that her fans, known as “The Brim,” are not going anywhere. In the end, whether it’s a damaged Birkin bag or dealing with critics, Cardi B repeatedly shows that she remains unfazed by the ups and downs of fame, always staying true to herself and her family.
