Sydney is for lovers shirt

Product Description

At my first appointment Sydney is for lovers shirt I worked with a bridal assistant who was similar in size to me. I knew this person understood what it was like to exist in a bigger body and wouldn’t suggest things that wouldn’t fit or suit my shape. The salon, NYC’s Sarah Seven, had even called me the day before to ask me about my wants, expectations, fears and budget. I felt amazing after the call, and went into the appointment really believing they wanted me to have a good experience. I didn’t get my dress there – though I fell in love with a $5,000 option that was far outside my budget – but I left feeling supported and prepared for future appointments. Instead, things got decidedly less fun. At a different salon, a bridal assistant – who could not have been bigger than a US street size 2 – brought me a gown I asked to see in a street size 8. When I told her that it would never go over my hips, she gently suggested we try. I obliged, knowing full well that I was setting myself up for a meltdown. As I shimmied and wiggled, the assistant tried to help, pushing softly on my upper thigh to get it into the unforgiving satin sheath. When the fabric looked as though it might rip, I started sweating. I said it wasn’t working and that I’d need to take it off.

Sydney is for lovers shirt senior fashion features editor, says part of the trend’s appeal is that it adds a unique element to the wearer’s look. Lischke, who describes himself as “a souvenir superfan”, likes to wear chunky beaded necklaces he picked up for €10 on the Greek island of Hydra, and a feathered brooch he found in the gift shop of the Fife Arms, in Scotland. “I love pieces that are specific to the area you find them in. They help add personality to a simple outfit. I’d much rather go to a souvenir shop than a luxury shopping mall.” I-D’s global editorial director, Olivia Singer, has made an all-black wardrobe featuring sharp silhouettes from Marc Jacobs and Alaïa her signature, but it’s a pair of cheap Eiffel Tower-shaped earrings bought from a merch stand in Paris that she wears the most. Other favourites include a shell necklace from a beach holiday and a silver pyramid charm necklace from a trip to Egypt. “It’s a fine line between wearing souvenirs and dressing like Edina Monsoon, but it’s nice to wear nice memories of things,” says Singer. Pikol’s founder, Dan Branston, says he sourced the glass cloths from car boots, explaining that nostalgia is an important part of the trend. He favours a faded cloth. “It has more of a back story. It makes you think about the person that brought it back in their suitcase from a holiday.” Lischke believes the trend is a wider backlash to the quiet luxury mood that has dominated fashion discourse. “Souvenirs aren’t minimalist but they do have forever appeal. People want to wear things that evoke joy. We are heading towards a loud fashion moment. Souvenirs are the first wave.”
