Gone are the days of uber casual dressing prompted by the pursuit of comfortable work-from-wear clothing. The return of glamorous dressing and the interior gives form to desire and substance to hope. Glamor offers the illusory promise of an extraordinary life and elevates us from the everyday, while making our desires come true.
But glamor is not exclusively feminine beauty and luxurious aesthetics, but quiet eloquence that persuades people through certain images, concepts and status. However, frivolity is necessary for glamour, although some critics think.
The trends of the March fashion week show that youth, beauty, athleticism, self-possession, wealth and leisure are vehicles for glamour. There is something about a well dressed person and a well laid out place that makes them stand out and you also know that effort goes hand in hand with good deeds.
For Venetian revenge
While most fashion houses are based on nostalgia and Y2K-era aesthetics, Bottega Veneta is leading the way for cerebral chic fashionistas who want to craft. The Tosca bag is a beautifully woven two-hand bag that’s quiet glamorous with zero logos, and the perfect size for someone who’s always prepared. Available through Bottega Veneta.
The best kept secret
Glamorous spaces can be as ostentatious as a Versace mansion. Pieces from the world of Gianni Versace capture the essence of his unabashed life. Silk pillows, soft robes, with gold and marble trimmings bound the space above. Available through Versace.
A kaleidoscope of candor
In the kaleidoscopic world of glamorous jewelry, Harry Winston jewelry takes center stage. Why not take it a step further with a kaleidoscope of 18k yellow gold and diamonds? Baguette diamonds, 83 brilliant-cut diamonds, and two blue sapphires combine to form the inner and outer hypnotic world of this piece. Available through Harry Winston.
License to frill
Many people talk about Loro Piana, but what about these people who actually play Loro Piana? When it comes to glamor is more understated, it is not something you have but something you perceive; not something you have but something you feel. It is a subjective response to a stimulus. Loro Piana’s top cashmere is crisp, calm and modern, which screams that “old money aesthetic” everyone is chasing on TikTok. Why not decorate your room with the comfort of cashmere? Available through Loro Piana.
