Safari Aesthetics

The safari theme was front and center in Kenzo’s nature-driven collection—mosquito net and utility pockets galore—but there were nods to destination in other shows. Among Patou’s dreamy, French creations were long, khaki coats, and an airy, pocket-clad shirtdress made an appearance at Chloé today.

Updated Neons

Halloween is around the corner, and ‘80s neon disco attire is calling our name. But the Spring/Summer 2021 collections have shown a range of ways to wear these hues day-to-day, from head-to-toe monochrome to artsy graphics.
