Renowned Italian actress Ornella Muti and her multi-talented daughter, Naike Rivelli, were among the celebrities evaluating the fashion on display, along with Turkish actress Gizem Karaca (Safir) and Chinese Lily Ji (Pacific Rim: Uprising), bringing star power from their respective corners of the globe. Lily Ji A hallmark of this year's event was the unprecedented participation of designers from 47 Russian regions, a showcase reflecting unparalleled diversity in the country's fashion scene. This unique blend of regional creativity not only attracted foreign fashion designers but also perennially drew famous celebrities to Moscow. Under the spotlight: standout talents at Fashion Week Gapanovich pasha raw x mscfw2024 Alexandra Gapanovich, hailing from the cold climates of Murmansk in northern Russia, presented a collection rich in motifs from the northern region. The inspiration for this season—secret childhood compositions—was evident in the nostalgia-filled offerings. Puffy sleeve dresses, ruffled mini skirts, beanies, and floral prints transported attendees back in time. Gerda Irene Krutova Kseniya Moscow-based designer Irina Gerda unveiled a new collection embracing floral designs in colors and prints. The runway bloomed with body-conscious dresses and vintage-style jumpsuits, while transparency and mesh teased modern fabric. Accented with beads, embroidery, and upcycled silk bags, Gerda's ensembles championed craftsmanship heritage. Maison ESVE pasha raw x mscfw2024 Aspiring to inaugurate a new icon in grand style, Maison ESVE presented Naike Rivelli, backed by her mother, Ornella Muti, in a show that resonated with 80s glamour. Metals, catsuits, and daring silhouettes culminated in sophisticated black suits and embroidered dresses adorned with hibiscus. Collection accessories—a narrative of fringed beads and flower chokers—complemented the boldness on the runway. Yana Besfamilnaya From the Russian industrial city of Perm, Yana Besfamilnaya's designs mirrored the ever-changing urban landscape through eclectic layers and dynamic silhouettes. Her assembly of transparent ensembles, metallic skirts, and variegated miniskirts, juxtaposed with leather, knits, and anoraks, impressed with modernity, finished with a utilitarian touch of ropes and safety pins. ZA_ZA pasha raw x mscfw2024 Alexandra Koryakina-Nikolaeva, from St. Petersburg, through ZA_ZA, narrated the evolution of individuality amidst social influences. Her collection skillfully balanced romantic florals with smooth patent leather. Soft-toned loose dresses were enlivened by voluminous floral accessories, signaling the return of spring. Textured outerwear with accentuated sleeves announced a new definition of shape and texture. This edition of Moscow Fashion Week, more than ever, positioned itself not only as a fashion exhibition but as a dynamic platform where the multiplicity of Russian regional designs and international trends met celebrity, forging a fusion of trends and talents on the global stage.

For Winter 2024 menswear, Saint Laurent builds on elements introduced in prior seasons, while changing their tone
 and content. Photos Courtesy Saint Laurent The classic, double-breasted suit associated with 1980s power dressing informs the opening looks. As the show continues, the formal silhouette dissolves, the couture jackets are made of crepe georgette lined with satin, without
 any reinforcement, reminiscent of the house's latest women's collection. Similarly, a predominantly somber palette lightens toward the finale's dusty range of hues: pale nudes, greens and violets, among other tones. Indirectly, the shift mirrors the personal sartorial evolution of the house founder, from earnest to brazenly stylish with a rare sensibility
 for color. Throughout, the tailoring is fluid, with an intentional slouch – an illusion of fabric turning liquid – running through
 the collection. In one instance, a black leather hat connects to a structured rubber peacoat in a reinterpretation
 of an 1960s archival reference, now paired to striking new effect over loose trousers. The season marks a return to the Bourse de Commerce, its stark concrete rotunda carpeted in black and adorned with
 a monumental arch of dark blooms – including calla lilies, anemones and orchids – in a nod to the historic shows
 of Yves Saint Laurent.

On the day of the show, he left a letter for those present in his studio, a thank you for the 10 years he has been creating for the brand. "This is a particular night. A meaningful night.

PHOTOS COURTESY LOEWE ‘I think we live in a paradise. This is a Garden of Eden. Really. It is. It might be the only paradise we’ll ever know. And it’s just so beautiful. And you feel you want to paint it.’ Albert York A study on provenance and whether it is relevant today. An outsider’s view, looking in, set against the backdrop of Albert York’s small yet intense paintings. The tropes of class and wealth turned on their head, through LOEWE’s distinctive lens: at once with bluntness and abstraction. The aplomb of an Etonian morning suit; the beloved dog in mosaic on a ring, or on an entire dress; wooden carvings that turn into coat collars; a floral tapestry from the drawing room beaded onto dresses or printed onto trousers; a profusion of caviar beading not only on clothing, but also on biker boots and Squeeze bags. In exploring ideas of tailoring and couture —both languages of bespoke and prerogative, one masculine and the other feminine— get mixed. Faultless jackets and flowing slacks; neckties and sculptural short dresses; straight cuts and draping. To heighten the juxtaposition of hard and soft lines, the ordre de passage opens with flou. As a zero degree of dressing, it is interspersed with little pieces made from boxer shorts. A quintessentially LOEWE mindscape in which leather and the world around it matter: draped nappa blousons, leather aviator jackets, the Flamenco Purse in a new large size, and further drapes. Ostrich as a trompe l’oeil hyper real print. Buckles as decoration. Prints have a material quality: they create illusions of other materials, or represent checks that melt. Tartans are also rendered in mille feuille sliced chiffon, gaining further 3D materiality. Clothing with presence, that celebrates being in the moment and Albert York’s sentiment that the real paradise is the one we inhabit - and the privilege that being alive represents.

"ROMANIA" COVER EDITION - GLOBAL ISSUE “Wear your hat with confidence or leave it at home”  Photographer: Oana Oachesu - @oanaoachesu / Styling: @irishaofficial / Make-up: @yasminnawad / Hair: @hair_by_costin_stefan - @bassamconceptsalon / Producer: @ruxandrra -@rueffectagency / Outfit: @zenonbrand / Design Director: @mathlopes Meet Maria Dumitrache , the brilliant mind behind the illustrious 'Maria Palaria' brand. From Bucharest, Romania, Maria is not just a hatmaker; she is a visionary artist, seamlessly blending tradition with innovation to create headpieces as exquisite as they are iconic. For Maria, hatmaking is not just an art; it is a passion deeply rooted in her life. Since 2016, she has been creating masterpieces that transcend trends, adorning the heads of discerning individuals and celebrities with her creations. Each hat tells a story, reflecting Maria's dedication to her craft and her relentless pursuit of perfection. Driven by her curiosity and creativity, Maria embarked on a journey of self-discovery that led her to the doorstep of an experienced hatmaker, who became her mentor and guide. Under his tutelage, Maria honed her skills, mastering ancient techniques while infusing her designs with a modern touch that sets her apart in the world of haute couture. From humble beginnings to global recognition, Maria's journey is a testament to her resilience, creativity, and commitment to excellence. Today, Maria Palaria stands out as a rising artist and graces the international cover of Hooks Magazine's "ROMANIA" edition. Check out below an exclusive interview with the artist: 1. What inspired you to pursue hat making as a career? Since I was a child, what I liked the most was to have creative activities. Singing and painting were my favourites. I was always praised at school for my creativity, which made me feel very special. Hats, on the other hand, were not my passion as a child, on the contrary, I did not like to wear anything on my head. The connection between me and hats happened out of the blue, without any clear explanation. It was like a dream that I had one night and from the next morning my mind was set only on that. I knew for sure that this craftsmanship was my meaning in life. 2. Can you tell us about your journey from studying physiotherapy to becoming a renowned hat maker? My family always guided me to choose a safe path for my career, but mathematics and numbers were never my strong points. I always felt that my hands had a strong and special energy, so I thought that if I choose physiotherapy, I can help people with my gift. That was something that brought me joy and enthusiasm, but it didn’t last long. I still felt like I wasn't using my hands as I was supposed to. Later I realised that my hands were actually meant to create art. Grey demin outfit: @croitoruofficial 3. How did you meet your mentor, the 90-year-old hat maker, and what was the most valuable lesson you learned from him? I already feel like I am going to get emotional answering this question. My mentor is the last and the oldest hatter in Romania. Coincidentally, he is the grandfather of a high school colleague that introduced me to him. From that moment, for a year I went to his hat studio almost every day. For 6 months, all that he allowed me to do was sew hats, saying that this craftsmanship is not for women. Over time, observing my determination and attention to details, he taught me how to make a hat from scratch. When I first started working on a hat, it felt like it was something I was already familiar with. For 6 months I observed how he worked on hats while I was sewing, so visually I knew exactly how to do it. Although it wasn’t easy, I felt like I’ve done that before and every day it just became easier. My mentor taught me one of the most important things I could learn in life: to fight for what I want, to be patient and never give up. At the same time, he taught me to trust myself. He told me that if you don't wear the hat with confidence, then you should leave it at home. I am grateful to my mentor and I pray for him every day. 4. What was the greatest challenge you faced when starting your brand, "Maria Palaria" and how did you overcome it? The biggest challenge was to educate people to wear hats. I remember how they would be amused to see me wearing hats on the street. This didn’t discourage me because I wanted to get a reaction, and I did. It just meant that I had started to do something noticeable. I used to go to fairs and do live demonstrations to attract their attention, this made me stand out and in short time, all the romanian celebrities wanted to wear my creations. It didn't take long untilI I became a popular hat maker throughout the country. The era of hats was long over In Romania, but I was going to bring it back to life. And that's exactly what I did. 5. How would you describe the style and aesthetic of your hat designs? My hats are not just an accessory, they represent a piece of each person's soul. That's why I created #hatswithastory. Each hat carries the story of the wearer and this way the hat becomes very personal. I make the hats according to everyone's physiognomy and style, no hat is the same as the other. We live in a world where people would rather follow trends than embracing their authentic self. It’s been 8 years since I started making hats, and this concept has been and still is very important to me. I want to highlight each person’s authenticity. 6. What role do traditional techniques play in your hatmaking process, and how do you incorporate innovation into your designs? The traditional techniques are what I find really special in this craftsmanship. In order to create a hat that will last for generations, you must execute the traditional techniques impeccably and pay attention to the smallest details. After achieving that, what is left is infinite creativity, but that is also the most challenging part. Inspiration can come instantly or it can be absent for a longer period of time. It's hard to come up with something new these days. But despite all that, I can say that over the years I have come up with new touches in the design of my hats, something that made me very proud and also inspired other hat makers. 7. How did the "Country" style become part of your life, and how do you think it has influenced your work as a hat maker? With this style being very popular nowadays, do you notice an increased demand for your hats that fit into this aesthetic? Although I was more focused on making customised hats, I also created several collections over time. The collections didn’t follow a specific trend, they represented chapters of my life. Three years ago I made a collection called "Western Love”, which included cowboy hats. The only hat that I actually have been wearing for some time now is a black cowboy hat, which I adapt very easily to any kind of outfit. That may even be my personal styles’ trademark. I’ve always been attracted to country music and western style, but I’m not sure most people could relate at that time. The collection was highly appreciated, but not many were courageous enough to wear that style. Now, because they are highly trending, most of the orders I receive are for cowboy hats. Beyoncé, I thank you for that! :) Black dress: @firatkaplanoofficiall

Francis Ford Coppola rarely comments on TikTok trends, so it was notable when he recently addressed the aesthetic known as Mob Wife. In a recent Instagram post, the renowned director of "The Godfather" made a connection between this style and the character Connie Corleone, portrayed by his sister, Talia Shire, in the movie. Photos disclosure Internet TikTok often inspires new aesthetic trends that gain popularity at an unprecedented speed, and its impact on everyday fashion choices is remarkable. But what is driving this recent valorization of women associated with the world of crime? How can we describe the "Mob Wife aesthetic"? The simplified version involves wearing a fur coat – whether real or synthetic – over an all-black outfit. However, its proponents argue that this aesthetic goes beyond clothes and requires a specific attitude to be genuine. Those closely analyzing the Mob Wife style incorporate red nails, bold lipstick, voluminous hairdos, and sunglasses flashy enough to rival a windshield. But where did this trend come from? Many users of the app suspect that the influence came from HBO, especially to coincide with promotional efforts for the 25th anniversary of "The Sopranos." In a statement, Jason Mulderig, a spokesperson for HBO, praised the trend as "a testament to 'The Sopranos' and its lasting impact on culture," but did not claim that the company created it. Wow, is this serious? I know I've talked a lot about Aesthetic here myself, especially since the emergence of cottagecore. But things have taken such a big proportion where people end up investing in pieces that make no sense with their personality, and that generates a huge problem! However, it's not the time to talk about this. And usually, TikTok's "aesthetic trends" follow a simple formula: they take an already established style (like older wealthy women wearing cardigans) and rebrand it with a flashy new name (Coastal Grandmothers). In this case, many people already dress in the style that was portrayed. And in "The Sopranos" 25 years ago - some of them now talk about this look being repackaged as a "trend." The big question is how many people outside this demographic group will adopt this style just because they saw it on TikTok. Is there something more behind it? Like the clean girl aesthetic and stealth wealth aesthetic, the Mob Wife appearance focuses on visible symbols of wealth, but this time it's those typically associated with the newly rich. Specifically, those whose wealth was acquired on the wrong side of the law. In the most popular portrayals, from "The Sopranos" to Lil' Kim, even when the woman is powerful in her own right, the Mob Wife is an accessory to an even more powerful man - her sexuality, beauty, and style reflect his power back to him. The mystery surrounding what she knows or doesn't know about her situation creates a dramatic aura: is she naive, unaware of her true power in her husband's criminal empire? Or is she cunning, looking the other way while enjoying his money? Still, in exchange for her discretion, she goes shopping. And for every influencer ordering a fur coat, there are other TikTok users who find these trends increasingly artificial and meaningless. "There's a certain aesthetic fatigue on social media." "Every little micro-trend is labeled. Each of these labels serves as an opportunity for influencers, brands, and even the media to capitalize on a trend and steer it toward their own interests." But what about you, is it your time to shine? Will you join in? Or is this already your style? Comment below!!! kisses.
