Summer Dreams and Sequins from Bottega Veneta

Gabriela Hearst is a designer who loves artists—and showed her appreciation by tapping local New York City stars to model her most recent collection. Current and former Pioneer Works residents Genesis Belanger, Ari Melenciano, Caroline Garcia, and Kara Gut showcase the minimal-smart line on location at the community art building in Red Hook, Brooklyn, at sunset.

Global travel by green screen becomes a promising message for the future in the hands of Demna Gvasalia for his Balenciaga pre-winter look book. The images by Patrick Welde feature models in the collection superimposed on iconic tourist destinations—from the Great Wall on—and are accompanied by a “Feel Good” video made in collaboration with artists Kamilya Kuspanova, Anton Bialas, and Heejoon Kwak. The 58-look offering is 90.6 percent certified sustainable and unisex, with comfort wear like sweatpants paired with trench coats, baggy denim, “faux furs” created out of recycled cotton, printed dresses, and the brand’s rereleased moto bags in every size imaginable. Baseball caps are imprinted with a stencil stamp that reads “Balenciaga Apparel Rentals,” and sweatshirts are emblazoned with a “Gay Pride” logo in the iconic GAP font. There are track suits and padded coats, parkas and fleece jackets, and a voluminous dress that’s part archive Balenciaga, part Princess Di’s wedding gown. An entire wardrobe for the future as imagined by Demna.

Nicolas Ghesquière drew upon three stylistic pillars of LV under his leadership—Tech Romanticism, Energetic Sportswear, and Rediscovering Essentials—for pre-fall 21. The results are vibrant, truly sporty, and very LV. Stacy Martin serves as the ambassador of the collection, photographed by Ghesquière. The brand is calling the look, Nouvelle Vague.

"Stacy has innate elegance and an inspiring personality," the designer says. "I have a lot of respect for her career path, her bold choices, and the roles she takes on. I very much enjoyed photographing Stacy. So cool and laid-back, I love the way she wears my collections."
