After 50 years of fashion, Dame Zandra Rhodes has revealed the secret to her success.⁣ ⁣ Everything begins — and ends — with the prints. They are the alpha and the omega of Rhodes’ collections, and that will never change, said the designer who turned 79 last week, and whose magenta bob is glowing as brightly as ever.⁣ ⁣ During a preview of “Zandra Rhodes: 50 Years of Fabulous,” which opens Friday and runs through Jan. 26, the designer admitted she still walks around with big sheets of drawing paper pinned to her clothing so she can see how her sketches will move on the body once they’re printed on a garment.⁣ ⁣ She is just as resilient today as she ever was: “In fashion, you go up and you go down, and my hope is that I can keep swimming along. You have to find a way to keep going — that’s the main thing.”⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: Samantha Conti⁣ 📸: Adam Duke .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #wwdfashion ⁣ #ZandraRhodes⁣ ⁣

Royal ring designer Shaun Leane has revealed everything you need to know about Princess Beatrice’s engagement ring.⁣ ⁣ Leane said he worked closely with Mapelli Mozzi, multimillionaire Italian property developer and Princess Beatrice’s now fiancé, on the ring, and added that its design was a fusion of the couple’s artistic tastes. ⁣ ⁣ The ring consists of a round-cut diamond at the center with tapered baguettes on each side. The diamond-studded band is made of platinum, and has been designed in Leane’s signature style.⁣ ⁣ Leane, who earlier in his career made dramatic runway jewelry for Lee Alexander McQueen, said about one-third of his business is bespoke. He also creates jewelry collections — two new ones are coming out next week — and has begun to create large-scale designs in the public realm.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: Samantha ⁣Conti ⁣ 📸: @shutterstocknow .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #wwdfashion⁣ #princessBeatrice⁣ #royalengagement⁣ #engagementring⁣ #royalwedding⁣

Dries Van Noten’s collaboration with Christian Lacroix for spring was pure magic. ⁣ ⁣ Van Noten let loose under the influence of Lacroix’s exuberant joie du fantasy. In turn, Lacroix’s lavish signatures took on real-world resonance in the context of Van Noten’s chic sportswear sensibility.⁣ ⁣ As a design experiment, it was fascinating, a rare example of two major (nonpartner) designers working together at this level. To that end, for those who remember Lacroix on the runway, his presence made for the best kind of renaissance — one devoid of nostalgia because everything looked so right for right now. A tour de force of collaborative magnificence.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: Bridget Foley⁣ 📸: @zefashioninsider .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #wwdreviews⁣ #wwdfashion⁣ #driesvannoten⁣ #christianlacroix

Stella McCartney made her first outing as the new public face of LVMH's green initiatives. ⁣ ⁣ McCartney unveiled a series of environmental measures, exhorting the French luxury conglomerate’s key executives on Wednesday to become part of the global conversation about climate crisis.⁣ ⁣ “I’m not going to pretend that what I do is easy. If it was easy, I think more people would be doing it. But I personally don’t see it as a constraint. I see it as a huge inspiration. You know, we’re having this conversation in a week of climate crisis and the entire world is talking about this, and people are practicing this in their lives, so why shouldn’t they be able to practice it in their place of work?” McCartney asked.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: @jdiderich . . . . . #wwdfashion #stellamccartney #lvmh #climatechange
