The week that was in style: June 12-18
The past week was about the diverse potential the fashion industry can generate, both in the mainstream and the indie scenes.

The LVMH Prize started in 2013 and has been an annual award given to a fresh breed of designers from cities all over the world. For its 2017 edition, 3,000 applications were shortlisted to 21 before getting whittled down to eight finalists, all of whom were announced during Paris Fashion Week in March. Some of the members of the jury were Karl Lagerfeld of Fendi, Maria Grazia Chiuri of Christian Dior, J.W Anderson of Loewe, and Nicolas Ghesquière of Louis Vuitton.
DOLCE & GABBANA’S SECRET SHOW
June 17 | Milan, Italy
Less than 24 hours ago, on the eve of its spring/summer 2018 menswear show, Dolce & Gabbana held a secret show where they brandished the classics that the label has always been good at: tuxedos, suits, and Italian tailoring. The sartorial parade was refreshing, given the rest of their millennial-centric spring/summer line (which was equally good, TBH), with well-groomed men sipping alcohol and walking down the runway in silk robes. The only tips that a secret show was even happening were the pictures that popped up on the brand’s Instagram account minutes before the event. The presentation was about the signature Dolce & Gabbana glamour: expertly tailored suits in jewel tones and classic pieces reinterpreted for modern times.
