The Fashion Loft - Tailored Statement Fashion Show - Tailored Summer

 


Tailored Summer

A tailored look means that the clothing is structured to fit the body well, with clean lines and sharp shapes. It usually includes pieces
  • Blazers or jackets
  • Dress shirts or blouses with shape
  • Trousers or skirts with seams and fitted waistbands
  • Vests, suits, coats, or fitted jumpsuits
Tailored clothes follow the shape of the body, instead of being loose or baggy. Think linen suits on the beach, vibrant blazers with swim briefs, sheer button-ups with coastal accents. The focus is on warm-weather tailoring with a twist of glamour or resort wear.
  • Colors: sun-kissed tones (terracotta, golden sand, turquoise, coral) or summer vibrant colors.
  • Accessories: sunglasses, woven hats, espadrilles, tailored swimwear.Cuts: short suits, belted jackets, open shirts, vest layers
  • Where would you wear this look: Beach boardwalk, rooftop bar, etc.

The Fashion Loft - Tailored Statement Fashion Show - Dandyism

 



DANDYISM
Dandyism is a fashion style where a person dresses in a way that is elegant, stylish, and full of personality. A dandy look is detailed, and can be a bit artistic. But it is always a polished, fashionable look. Dandyism started with men wearing fancy suits in history, but today anyone can create a dandy look by combining tailoring with color and personality.

Black dandyism came about in the 18th century as a movement where Black people used tailored clothing as a form of self-expression. This allowed those who styled in this way to define themselves beyond stereotypes and to challenge racial segregation.

MET Gala 2025 aimed to showcase the contributions of Black designers and individuals to the evolution of dandyism and its impact globally.

A Dandy Look Might Include:
  • A blazer or fitted jacket with colorful pants or skirt
  • A vest with a silk scarf or ruffled shirt
  • A hat, cane, gloves, or stylish sunglasses
  • Fun shoes — like loafers, oxfords, boots, or heels
  • Jewelry or bold makeup to add flair
It’s not just about what you wear — it’s about style and attitude.

LUXE Paris LOTY 2025 - Finale

 



My look is inspired by Françoise Hardy—singer, accidental fashion legend, and the ultimate French "It Girl". 

Rising to fame in the 1960s through the yé-yé music scene, Hardy captivated audiences with her voice and unconventional charm. 

Mick Jagger called her his ideal woman. 

Her transformation from shy singer to international fashion star was guided by her photographer Jean-Marie Périer, who helped shape her sleek, trend-setting image. 

Hardy became the muse of designers like Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, André Courrèges and Rei Kawakubo; defining her look, which is as pervasive today as it was back in the 60s, with her signature bangs, white ankle boots, and vinyl trench coats. 

She rocked mini dresses, oversized sunglasses, and shaggy fur coats like no one else. 

Channeling her was my way of honoring timeless elegance with a rebellious edge.
