Despite the fact The Bear is a television show about the inner workings of a Chicago sandwich shop, for many it is actually a show about fashion. This became abundantly clear after the first season’s premiere, when a worldwide manhunt began to find the exact white t-shirt Jeremy Allen White’s Carmy was wearing (turns out it cost £100). Or in the season two finale, when Carmy gifts Sydney – played by Ayo Edebiri – a custom Thom Browne chef’s jacket. Or the numerous times places like GQ and Esquire have salivated over a cast wardrobe filled with Ralph Lauren, Supreme and Aimé Leon Dore.

Now with season three landing on Disney+, The Bear’s fashion fans have yet another moment to sink their teeth into. In the seventh episode, Sydney enters the back office of the sandwich shop in a navy smock and wide leg shorts, the look paired with white socks and black loafers. Though the outfit is quite lowkey and doesn’t appear on screen for that long, the eagled-eyed admins at Twitter account @ayoedebiristyle, spotted that the fit is none other than Comme des Garçons, from the label’s Girl SS24 collection. If her clothes are anything to go by, it seems that Sydney is doing a lot better for herself this season, and (no spoilers) ready to leave a few people behind – and what better way for the wardrobe team to signal that than a head-to-toe designer look.

CHANEL RETREATS TO CHINA

Chanel has just announced the location of its Métiers d’Art show, the label’s annual collection celebrating the craftsmanship of its artisanal workshops. Returning to China for the first time since 2009, the show will be held in Hangzhou, a city often nicknamed “paradise on earth.” After staging an opera-themed couture show in an opera house, maybe the house will take inspiration from its surroundings again and deliver us an out-of-this world fashion paradise? Either way, we’ll have to wait until December 5 to find out.
