FashionRound-up KNWLS feels the need for speed in this supercharged new filmPlus more fashion news you missed, including Paul Mescal’s Gucci moment and Kate Moss’s big wardrobe clearoutShareLink copied ✔️October 20, 2023FashionRound-up TextEmma Elizabeth Davidson KNWLS latest collection, shown at the SS24 edition of London Fashion Week, went out to the petrolheads of the world, with gnarly moto leather, busted denim, and trashed, sinewy slips that looked like they’d been sucked under the wheels of a bike all on the agenda for the new season. With the label invited rising fashion star Mia Khalifa to stalk the runway on the night, the show ended up being one of the most buzzy, standout moments from the season – but then, designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault should be pretty used to that by now. Now, fans who didn’t get to be at the show in person – and actually also those lucky enough to snag a seat – can relive the chaos in a supercharged new film which takes viewers behind the scenes in the hours leading up to the moment the first model stepped out onto the catwalk. Filmed by Dazed’s Chester McKee and edited by Alice Wade, the grainy, lo-fi short captures the frenetic last minute adjustments, the fabulous guests filtering in and finding their spot, and the countless indispensable people who bring each fashion show to life running around the space and making sure things go to plan. Watch it below, and keep scrolling for more fashion news you missed this week, including Kate Moss’s big wardrobe clearout, Paul Mescal for Gucci, and Duke’s Cupboard’s efforts to collect clothes for displaced Palestinians. 1/7 You may like next 1/7 1/7 Courtesy of Bottega VenetaBOTTEGA GOES BACK 2 SCHOOLBottega announced it was going back to the classroom, as it launched the new Accademia Labor El Ingenium.

Heading out of Italy and in the direction of Manchester, the images capture the moody sleet skies and industrial landscape of the city where acid house took seed in the UK. With that in mind, for an accompanying video, they put techno legend Jeff Mills in the hotseat to discuss his approach to creating music and how that intersects with fashion – plus how much he loves the kind of simple, stripped-back clothes Jil Sander turns out each season. view more + 5/7 5/7 KATE MOSS IS HAVING A CLEAROUTKate Moss is the latest style icon to join forces with The Real Real for a big wardrobe purge.
