Balloon Pants Are Paris Fashion Week's Biggest Street Style Trend — Literally

Yes, the Spring 2027 shows are still underway in Paris, and showgoers are continuing to turn out ‘fits in the French fashion capital. While Milan street style was full of sexy workwear and London was punctuated with back-to-school vibes , the defining trend of PFW street style has been more specific and voluminous: balloon pants. Also seen on several recent runways , this roomy, tapered-at-the-bottom silhouette has quickly become the fashion crowd’s trouser of choice across a wide variety of aesthetics. Take, for example, Tracee Ellis Ross and Gabriella Karefa-Johnson’s understated monochrome styling choices: Each style star put her own twist on a sporty version of the garment, with the former pairing the pants with a cozy knit and the latter adding a vintage Britney Spears tee for good measure.

This Italian Jewelry House's Milan Atelier Is Hidden in Plain Sight

Just off one of Milan’s bustling streets lies an unmarked, gemstone-shaped door etched into an otherwise unassuming wall. To passersby, it’s merely another work of art steps from the Castello Sforzesco, but to a select few, it’s the entrance to Garatti ‘s high jewelry atelier. Its hidden-in-plain-sight doorway feels closer to a plot point in a thrilling mystery novel rather than a real-life showroom, especially once visitors bypass a second layer of security and enter a sparkling display of diamonds. (And don’t bother trying to look Garatti up on Google Maps — it’s intentionally off-the-grid.) (Left to Right) Luca Garatti, Milena Bernocco and Nicolas Garatti Photo: Courtesy of Garatti Founded in 2018 by Milena Bernocco and her son Nicolas Garatti, the Italian high jewelry house specializes in green diamonds. You’ve likely heard of their yellow or blue counterparts (see: the Tiffany Diamond or the Hope Diamond ), but what, ...

How To Make It as a Fashion Photographer

Fashion photography — a space defined by glossy magazine covers, dreamy advertising campaigns and designer-filled editorials — has never required a formal degree. (Just look to Steven Meisel’s storied photography career, achieved with only a background in fashion illustration from Parsons.) In an age when a camera sits in everyone’s pocket, and an Instagram post can get more traction than a magazine spread, the field is more saturated than ever. Now, getting into the industry is no longer the hard part — standing out is. Ahead, Fashionista asked four fashion photographers what it really takes to make it in this competitive field. You Don’t Need Credentials or the ‘Right’ Gear “Every Worry Melts Away.” San Francisco, 2019 Photo: Thalía Gochez Lyrie Wang , whose work has appeared in Harper’s Bazaar and Esquire , had a camera and a dream when she quit her job as a product manager in tech to purs...
