T’s Feb. 17 Women’s Fashion Issue

Highlights

  1. Spring Fashion: A Return to Form

    Voluminous in some places and cinched in others, the season’s most dramatic silhouettes don’t obscure the female shape so much as celebrate it.

     By Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and Styled by Marie Chaix

    <strong>The Row</strong> dress, $5,550, and shoes, price on request, (212) 755-2017. <strong>Wolford</strong> bodysuit, $250, <a href="https://www.wolfordshop.com/">wolford.com</a>. Hair stylist’s own headpieces (worn throughout).

  2. Long Live Eccentric English Design

    Uninterested in disciplined minimalism, a group of defining interior designers is championing England’s long-held preference for color, wit and wackiness.

  4. The New British Classics

    Whether a trench coat or a jumpsuit, this season’s tailoring pays homage to both the precision and eccentricity of Savile Row. The bold looks hit the soggy streets of London for T’s first digital cover story.

  1. How Swizz Beatz Bridged the Worlds of Hip-Hop and Contemporary Art

    While amassing his own collection, the music producer became a crucial connector, and an important advocate for artists of color.

  2. It Took Chanel 9 Days and a Team of 150 to Build an Indoor Beach

    The brand’s elaborately staged ready-to-wear shows are a much-anticipated staple of the fashion calendar — and the latest one was especially transporting.

    On the last afternoon before the show, workers administer finishing touches, raking the sand and checking the lights and drone camera.

  3. Hermès’s Refusal to Change Is Its Most Radical Gesture Yet

    The fashion house remains loyal to a way of life more common to Europe’s medieval guilds, dedicating itself to the idea of craftsmanship above all else.

     By Nancy Hass

    <strong>Bali Barret, Silks |</strong> Barret, who previously had her own fashion line, came to Hermès in 2003 after being asked by the artistic director Pierre-Alexis Dumas to design a small series of trial scarves. (“I made one with perforations,” she says. “People nearly fainted.”) She was soon running the atelier. In 2009, she was asked to oversee all women’s products, which include ready-to-wear, accessories, shoes, jewelry and fragrance. She splits her time between a building in the Eighth Arrondissement, not far from the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré headquarters, and the company’s silk atelier in Lyon, two hours southeast of Paris. “Working on the silks is sometimes a science, sometimes an art,” she says. “You are trying to figure out these elaborate puzzles, with hundreds of aspects, so many of them at once.” At right: swatches in Barret’s studio.

  4. How Bauhaus Redefined What Design Could Do for Society

    A century after its founding, the German school of art and architecture remains one of the most transcendent — and frustrating — movements of the Modernist age.

  9. The Bonkers Aesthetic

    By exuberantly layering old and new — and as much color and pattern as a room can handle — these English designers are taking eccentricity to riotous new heights.
