The history of film is full of tragic love stories. From “Casablanca”, “Ghost”, “Titanic”, to “Amour”—the list goes on. Films by Wong Kar-Wai capture the yearning and anguish of complex human emotions on a great scale through sumptuous, painterly cinematography, and “In the Mood for Love” is a great example of his skills. Starring #TonyLeung and #MaggieCheung, the film tells the story of a doomed love affair set in 1960s Hong Kong. This year, the 73rd #CannesFilmFestival will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic film. Fans are expecting to revisit Wong's great cinema as the festival will be screenning a 4K restored version of the film in its Classics section before re-releasing the version in cinemas internationally. ⁣⁣⁣⁣

Beginning with the decadently designed cake-adorned invites, followed by corset dresses completed with structured petticoats, @ItsJeremyScott brought panache and magic to Milan, by way of reimagining the frivolity of 18th-century France. The collection was awash with French country scenes in classic pastel prints, juxtaposed with modern silhouettes including fitted trousers and streamlined vests. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣
⁣
Interpreting Scott’s intention to mix the 18th-century inspiration with a rock vibe, hair stylist @PaulHanlonHair played the modern Léonard-Alexis Autié—the hairdresser behind the eccentric looks of Marie Antoinette. Models wore the French Queen's famed pouf, updated in pastel shades of pink and lilac, as well as the traditional blonde and brunette options.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Scott styled @GigiHadid in a 3D rose adorned number and accentuated her leggy frame with satin pink corset boots and toted a candy-striped handbag. Others appeared in a series of pannier skirts wrapped in everything from his signature leather, gilded denim, rich velvet jacquard, and chinoiserie prints to long evening gloves, which added to the costume's decadence. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
‘Let them eat cake’—what a way to end the show with the famous tongue-in-cheek quote attributed to Antoinette. The finale look was a cake-topper: a hooped white confection enticing enough to grace any wedding cake. Swipe through to see more. ⁣⁣⁣⁣

For @fendi Autumn/Winter ‘20, creative director Silvia Venturini Fendi explored the dual personalities of the Fendi woman, mapping the idiosyncrasies of her alluring femininity. Indeed, the collection exuded a sense of ‘soft power’ that struck the perfect balance between tough and femme, soft and hard, and futurism and nostalgia.⁣

The show opened with a slew of ‘80s-inspired ensembles, think Alexis Carrington making an entrance at The Bellagio. Feminine tailorings were nipped at the waist and played against a remix of luxurious cashmere, and fur. Soft and ladylike ensembles then made way for neo-dominatrix looks that highlights the “dark side” of la donna Fendi in powerleathers. Elsewhere, one of the noteworthy accessory items was the backward headband that was seen throughout the show. From the boudoir to the boardroom, Fendi’s latest collection celebrates everything about the modern day woman.
