For Fall 2023, Jacquemus transported guests to the manicured gardens of King Louis XIV’s Palace of Versailles just outside of Paris, France to present their ‘LE CHOUCHOU’ collection.⁠ ⁠ Models descended upon a strawberry-red carpet-lined runway while guests sat in rowboats in awe of yet another cinematic show by the brand. The collection toyed with figure-skimming lace bodices, tulle skirts, and voluminous proportions. For the most part it was sensual and feminine pairing lingerie and lace knee high socks with blunt block-toed ballet shoes. Supporting looks were reminiscent of vintage Riviera stripes leveraging a palette of black, red, and blue, or monochromatic polka dots and reflective chrome and crystal embellishments. ⁠ ⁠ For every detail, plus a rundown on the beauty, menswear, celebrity guests, models and location, continue reading at FQ.co.nz (link in bio). ⁠ ⁠ Photos: Isidore Montag / Gorunway.com

Just as our sartorial selections and beauty rituals influence how others perceive us, so too does our choice of fragrance. As one of our main senses, associated with memories and emotions, smell possesses the ability to transport us to far-flung destinations, make us think of certain friends or family members, or recall moments in time. ⁠ ⁠ At the link in bio, the FQ team reveals their signature scents.

When a bad hair day turns into a bad hair season... Unpredictability, irregular wash days, flatness, and textural changes are just a few of the signs your hair care regime commands a closer look. ⁠ ⁠ We get attached to our shampoo and conditioners, be it the scent, the lather, or the way they look on our bathroom shelf. But have you noticed the products you’ve relied on for months – or even years – have suddenly stopped being, well, reliable? Product build-up, changes in our water, and the shift in season can all play a role in the decline of our regime’s efficacy.⁠ ⁠ At the link in bio, we look at some of the telltale signs your product lineup could do with a few healthy upgrades.⁠ ⁠ Photo: Acne Studios SS23.

The countdown to Pharrell Williams’ debut Spring Summer 2024 Menswear collection for Louis Vuitton is finally over. The musician turned creative director doubled down on the brand’s signature Damier check and oversized bags as his collection impressed guests on Paris’ Pont Neuf bridge on Tuesday evening. New signature details include a pixelated pattern relayed across longline faux fur coats, leather bombers and collegiate jackets; vivid leather rugby polos; and hats in exaggerated forms including the beret, baker boy, and trapper. For the most part, the designer leaned into a palette of green, brown, black and navy, with citron motifs and pops of oxblood and strawberry red. It’s trans seasonal, it’s utilitarian, and it’s dapper. Williams has delivered looks destined to be worn by men, women, and non-binary people of all ages.
