Emoji fashion
“It’s all about Instagram” is this decade’s fashion cliche. Thing is, it’s still true. At New York, the Insta-influence is in the emoji-style prints, and in the rise of theDancing Lady emoji as the ultimate party girl silhouette. Altuzarra, designed by 33-year-old Joseph Altuzarra, was an out-of-the-box hit, with more lemons and cherries than a millennial WhatsApp group and a gorgeously sultry silhouette. J Crew’s long, ruffled skirts in fine blue cotton gave a chic, toned-down take on the scarlet Dancing Lady.
WHAT DOES VOGUE HAS TO SAY WITH THIS TREND?
Scribes among us might have been surprised, shocked even, when the Oxford Dictionaries chose the “Face With Tears of Joy” emoji as its word of the year. Well, if recent pop-cultural and fashion trends are any indication, the emojification of our once text-based society is set to become the norm. The announcement that Apple would add more than 100 new and redesigned emoji to its next iOS update was headline news yesterday; meanwhile celebrities from Kim Kardashian West to Justin Bieber to Blac Chyna have their own emoji ranges and fashion brands are joining in on the action, with the illustrated faces appearing on several runways this year. The latest label to get in the emoji game is Acne Studios, which released a collection of emoji hats, tees, and sweaters yesterday. Its icons of choice? The banana, pig nose, doughnut, microphone, hamburger, and, according to a press release, “a brown swirl of mousse.”
At Chanel, Lagerfeld has featured the symbols in two of his recent runway shows. Consider how often he changes inspirations and this is a big get for emoji.
