Quilted jackets set to become outerwear of choice this season22/10/2022

Forget the puffer jacket, which has dominated the coat market for the last few years. This season, quilted jackets are set to become the outerwear of choice. It is a multigenerational trend, seen from the school gates to social media. Gen-Z influencers can’t get enough of them on TikTok, while the 70-something model Maye Musk (yes, Elon’s mother) wore a black one to a recent Christian Dior fashion show.

Among the street style set, the cult New York fashion brand the Frankie Shop’s moss green “Teddy” jacket is proving to be the most popular. Net-a-Porter is reporting a 30% increase in search for it over the past month. Retailing for more than £200, on eBay it sells for double. On the high street you can find a plethora of similar iterations at M&S, Arket and Cos. Mango’s £59.99 version even has a waiting list.

Demand for quilting has not been this high since the 1970s when the former US air force colonel Steve Gulyas launched his outerwear brand Husky. Pictured been worn by Queen Elizabeth II while out riding, it quickly became the jacket of choice among the country set.

Georgia Dant, the designer of label Marfa Stance, says it is the antithesis of tradition that is appealing. “We have reimagined it in a luxurious, user-friendly and timeless way,” she said. With a background in menswear at Burberry, she focuses on functional womenswear (deep pockets are de rigueur) and sustainability (nylon is sourced from Japan, which has stricter environmental regulations than the UK and Europe). Customers start with a quilted base that they can add to when the weather changes – think aviator collars and waterproof layers. Dant says they are clothes that are “designed to be enhanced rather than replaced”.

In 2022, the high street versions are definitely more fashion than function. Cooler than a puffer, they work for this strange in-between seasonal weather. Nevertheless, come December, they may not feel quite as toasty.

They may also be ditched because of their negative environmental impact. Most quilted jackets are made from polyester and polyamides – . “While some brands are using a certain degree of recycled synthetic materials, we need to move away from our reliance on fabrics that are derived from fossil fuels,” says the sustainable fashion writer Hannah Rochell. “They shed microplastic fibres every time they are washed and will hang around in landfill for thousands of years, unless the brand takes responsibility for the end of the garment’s life and recycles it in a closed loop system – which, more often than not, they don’t.”

There can be no more hiding, and no more denying. Global heating is supercharging extreme weather at an astonishing speed, and it’s visible in Japan and beyond. Guardian analysis recently revealed how human-caused climate breakdown is accelerating the toll of extreme weather across the planet. People across the world are losing their lives and livelihoods due to more deadly and more frequent heatwaves, floods, wildfires and droughts triggered by the climate crisis.

At the Guardian, we will not stop giving this life-altering issue the urgency and attention it demands. We have a huge global team of climate writers around the world and have recently appointed an extreme weather correspondent.

That Star-Studded Ralph Lauren Fashion Show Took Place at a Famous Beaux Arts Mansion18/10/2022

Hollywood stars have been coming to Ralph Lauren for their red carpet looks for decades, but for the latest Ralph Lauren fashion show featuring his Spring 2023 collection, the legendary designer came to them. On October 13, the brand debuted their latest collections with a special World of Ralph Lauren experience at the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California.

The company felt the elegant property, the former home of railroad and real estate magnate Henry Huntington, was the ideal setting for its first-ever West Coast show. Designed by architects Myron Hunt and Elmer Grey and completed in 1911, the gorgeous Beaux Arts mansion is considered one of the finest Gilded Age residences in the country and is accented by 130 acres of botanical gardens. “The Huntington with its rich history and natural beauty is the perfect backdrop to share my vision of living inspired by the West Coast of America,” says Ralph Lauren. “My Spring 2023 collections are about the spirit of enjoying life in the outdoors, about celebrating California’s natural beauty, its relaxed elegance and energy, and that sense of optimism and joy that has always inspired me.”

Celebs such as newlyweds Jennifer Lopez—who recently wore three Ralph Lauren gowns for her wedding—and Ben Affleck, Jessica Chastain, Diane Keaton, John Legend, Sylvester Stalone, Mindy Kaling, and Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis were greeted on the loggia by a wood bar topped with grand arrangements of calla lilies. After guests enjoyed a selection of signature cocktails, including the Polo Bar’s Ridgway Margarita and RL Royale, the evening then moved to the museum’s gracious terrace, where the audience took in the runway show, which included the Collection, Purple Label, Double RL, Polo Ralph Lauren, and childrenswear lines.

An alfresco candlelit dinner overlooking the three-acre Rose Garden was perfectly set in the brand’s signature sophisticated style, featuring blue-and-white ticking stripe fabrics, brass hurricanes, leather napkin rings, and porcelain dinnerware and crystal, all by Ralph Lauren Home. Romantic arrangements of garden flowers added a grace note to the tables. Guests dined on a menu of Mr. Lauren’s favorite fare from the Polo Bar in New York City including Ralph’s salad, the Polo Bar burger, and grilled branzino.

Guests experienced an inviting atmosphere that was curated down to the smallest details, from the comfortable cushions and throw pillows on the dining chairs, which were made of Ralph Lauren Home floral and batik fabrics, to the laid-back, California cool music that served as the soundtrack to the soirée. The brand channeled the natural beauty and relaxed lifestyles of Southern California in both the collections and the vibe of the evening, evoking the designer’s beloved blend of elegance and ease.Read more at:short prom dress uk | black prom dress
