Most fashion is cyclical. Ebbing and flowing from our trend driven consciousness as we either lament or celebrate its return. This sartorial revival culture, however, begs the question of the existence of true originality.

The Dutch designer has become something of a cult hero for her distinct type of science fashion. Her designs are futuristic which is mesmerizing. She combined the metaverse with haute couture and 8th Century literature to mark the label’s 15th anniversary. Her designs are mostly appreciated and known as a transformative force in fashion. She again showcased her innovative talent for combining technology and craftsmanship with a future fashion outlook to present an haute couture collection. She is a career born from a technical arts degree and celebrated another breathtaking presentation. Iris Van Herpen’s collections for autumn/winter 2022 couture, inspired by Ovid's ‘Metamorphoses’ poem. Her designs highlight intricate craftsmanship, fusing 3D printing to create her signature shredded kirigami form with sustainability using a biodegradable fabric originating from a species of banana called ‘Abaca’. It’s a process where fibres are extracted from the banana plant’s stem and combined with raw silk, as well as upcycled organza. watching the living, breathing craftsmanship of Van Herpen’s three-dimensional masterpieces is all the spoils we need. The wrapped organza Aphrodite gowns billowed in dramatic proportions, the extreme bronze flaming bodysuit with the beautiful soft sheer silk and sculptural claw fasteners embroidered with the feminine form.

DURING PARIS COUTURE WEEK

HP MAGAZINE 4 FASHION She has become a spotlight name for the annual Met Gala fantastical. Solange Knowles, Grimes, Winnie Harlow and Lady Gaga have all worn her gravity defying looks, some so spectacularly theatrical they’ve become instantly iconic. Van Herpen’s boundary pushing is challenging the industry, responsible ways to produce truly unique, avant garde fashion. She showcased 16 designed outfits which looked organic and alive, some seemed to be so real that they looked like they were growing and moving around the models. And others had insects or some kind of creature's wings and tendrils. She explains that as we attend more and more digital events our acceptance of the neo world, and our own inevitable augmented personas, will extend to eventually desiring to be digitally well dressed, too. The truth is the next generation of fashion lovers will most likely purchase as much physical fashion as they will NFT alternate reality design. She also showcased the first vegan haute couture dress in collaboration with ice cream brand Magnum, which was made from cocoa bean husks that have been processed to create a fully organic biopolymer material. The dress features intricate details including plant like body embellishments, which are copper-coated, draped and entwined with upcycled organza, while other 3D elements were printed using innovative SLS technology. Van Herpen said in a statement: “As a designer, I have always worked to push the boundaries of design and this collaboration has really allowed us to take this one step further by linking the ingredients of an iconic Magnum Vegan to create an Haute Couture design. The opportunity to work with the brand on such innovation in sustainable fashion has been a very special experience.”

For Daniel Gayle of London based label Denzil Patrick, creativity takes form through culturally relevant and responsible design. In his case, the brand serves as a homage to his Jamaican and Irish ancestry, which is heightened by his experiences in London. For the brand’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection, Gayle turns 16 again by focusing on his childhood in ’90s London.

A time marked by youthful vigour, the pursuit of freedom, confusion and unparalleled ambition, Gayle’s latest collection channels the feeling of fun-filled fearlessness. “It felt like anything was possible, and it only lasted that summer, that feeling,” Gayle told Vogue Runway. Mirroring energetic adolescent emotions, the offering is complete with an array of styles and visceral colours. There simply are no rules. Geometrical colour-blocked knits are paired with short shorts, knee-length coats and button down shirts met with multicoloured graphic prints and pleated skirts revealing that there is a coolness to reimaging school inspired garments. Other highlights of the collection include a blue and purple toned coordinating set with all-over hearts, sage and grey-scale tailoring with numerical print detailing and diamond-pattern pants. Whether it be the school, club or street, the collection exhibits the harmony between fused dress notes. “With this third collection, that’s what we’ve come to,” Gayle told Vogue Runway. “It’s why I feel emancipation both for me as 16-year-old Daniel, but also the emancipation of my job today. We made the collection we wanted to make. I’ve thrown the rule book away because I don’t want to feel confined to anything because I’m just exploring, and what makes it legitimate is that I’m doing it.”

We all know how important social media is in each and every aspect of our lives. Influencers, celebrities, and models have been portraying a lifestyle which creates an illusion in our minds that what we need to achieve is their lifestyle but we don’t want to see the deeper side of it. We just get excited just by what they show and do not even think about the reality which is hidden in every story. We just blindfold ourselves with what we see on social media and follow them without even trying to look or think about the real side of it. Whatever we see is absolutely perfect but do we even have the time to think about how everything can be so perfect? If we are not perfect then how come the people around us are living and looking so perfect? All these are vague. Is it possible for each one of us to look perfect? I don’t think that is even possible. We are human beings and imperfection is what we are born with. Then why society expects that women have to be fair and perfect body shape and men to be more muscular. Why are there certain beauty standards that have to be fulfilled by every individual in our society or else we are not accepted the way we are? In order to live peacefully and happily, we have to follow whatever society has made rules. These rules and the unrealistic beauty standards that society has constructed are not possible to achieve that. These are the standards we people have created in social media in the name of society and also encourage people one way or the other to achieve this unrealistic goal. And this is on us to change this mentality of people around us that how to defeat this kind of thinking for once and for all. This can be achieved just by accepting the way we are with our flaws. We shouldn’t forget that we are born with this imperfection which makes us different and beautiful.

UNFOLLOWING THE BEAUTY STANDARDS OF SOCIAL MEDIA

HP MAGAZINE 46 BEAUTY

You can help yourself and no one else can do it. So instead of following social media beauty standards, focus on yourself. Look at yourself and try to see what features in yourself that you like the most, try to cherish those every day and celebrate, feel good about it that you have such beautiful features. If you start to love and accept yourself then everybody else will do so. It's always you who has to have the courage to accept yourself first then you can accept that from others. Look at the mirror and praise yourself regularly, this will help to grow your self-esteem and confidence. If you can face yourself and accept yourself then there is nothing which can stop you from loving yourself. Self care is very important. If you can accept yourself then you have to take care of yourself which indirectly makes you feel good. Whenever you get time just try something like - meditating, trying new haircuts and hairstyles, trying new styles, taking care of your skin, listening to music to boost your mood, doing something which you love, going for a walk and spending time in nature. Do whatever makes you feel good and look good. The aim is to focus on yourself rather than focusing on social media's unrealistic beauty standards. There will be a lot of content that will manipulate you but you have to believe in yourself and try to focus on what is better for your growth and happiness. If you see yourself without thinking and focusing on social media beauty standards then you could feel a whole new level of self-confidence and beauty in yourself which is definitely best for you.

HP MAGAZINE 57 BEAUTY ARE YOU BEAUTIFUL? YES I AM

Each one of us doesn’t accept ourselves as we are in spite we keep on seeking more flaws in ourselves. There is no perfect definition of beauty as beauty is always perceived differently by each individual - as it says “beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”. The term beauty is always shaped by the people of our society which is absolutely vague. But this standard which is framed by people actually has affected the true standard of beauty. Every one of us just blindly follows the standard beauty without realizing the actual meaning of beauty. Social media has also played a vital role in shaping beauty standards. It has always been shown that to be beautiful one has to be fair complexioned without any spots and have a perfect body shape. The media has always portrayed the ideal body type in magazines and television programs. And people who have freckles, cellulite, stretch marks, are overweight, thin, tall, short or any other flaws are regarded as ugly or unattractive. These unrealistic beauty standards are taught to girls to achieve from a very young age. They grew up following these standards and it gets so into their mind that they can do any possible way to achieve that unrealistic ideal type. In order to achieve that they may suffer from various physical and mental problems like eating disorders, and dysmorphia. After attaining a certain age girls go for various kinds of cosmetic surgery like - botox, chin surgery, cheek lift, chemical peel, cosmetic dentistry and many more in order to look perfect. While going through these dangerous and painful processes it may sometimes go wrong which in turn makes them suffer more. They also go through mental issues like - anxiety, and depression. They mentally break down so much that it hampers their other important things in lifeeducation, relationships with family members and friends. They can’t perform well in any way, lose interest in everything and also become unsocial.

HP MAGAZINE 58 BEAUTY

While growing up everyone faces their share of criticism and so do I.

Each and every person I came across has reminded me of how improper I was which deeply affected my self esteem and also hampered my self-confidence. I was always referred to as “skinny” and “dark” which makes me feel like I don’t fall under this so called perfect beauty standard. It keeps on hitting my mind that I was different and ugly. But I was unaware of the fact that being different is what makes one beautiful. Each person is different and beautiful in their way in this world. It takes a while to accept the way I am. I started to love my underweight skinny body, the colour of my body and each and every imperfection which makes me perfect. There are different ways for each one of us to help ourselves to encourage that we are not less than anyone else. We are beautiful the way we are. We have to define the definition of beauty in our way because there is no such strict definition of women’s beauty. It always varies from person to person. The media and society will always play their role to convey messages of unrealistic beauty but we have to help ourselves by defining beauty in our own way. Being yourself and different from others are what make us beautiful enough. Though recently beauty standards have changed. The media is portraying individuals with flaws in magazines, and television programs. It's a relief for the coming generation as they don’t have to deal with the unrealistic beauty standards of society. It is so encouraging to watch famous personalities and influencers promote beauty standards by not following the ideal beauty type.
