Then, shortly after Jordyn Woods was pictured at a basketball game to support boyfriend Karl-Anthony Towns, user @01likenoother wrote to Fashion Bomb Daily asking, “Hi can I please get the deets on her pants?” Another reader, @lenniilee, added, “Where can i get these pants from??“

Top 5 Innovative Fashion Designers You Should Be Following on Instagram

Fashion is evolving. The empire is far more than the cinched waists and corsets it was built on. Since the likes of Hussein Chalayan and Alexander McQueen, designers have found safe spaces to be as creative as they feel without limits.

While the industry has made room for unconventional creatives to bloom on runways and in campaigns, there’s still a pool of designers you may not know of who shake up the scene with every stitch, cut, and sew. Today, fashion is more visible than ever, thanks to social media. So you don’t need to sit front row to catch head-turning designs.

Below we’ve gathered the top 5 cutting-edge (no pun intended) designers who continue to push the borders of fashion as we know it.

Jordy Arthur

Belgium-born Jordy Arthur is a designer with texture, fun, and functionality at the top of all his designs. He’s a wiz with pocket placement, often disguising his cash and card carriers as contemporary design elements. Cone-shaped bust pockets are an operative take on the iconic Jean Paul Gaultier design, but his expertise does not stop there. Look to Arthur for transformative fashion like an upcycled jacket that also serves as a vest and backpack.

Shay Rose

Recent UCLA graduate Shay Rose approaches design with a fearless spirit and out-of-the-box thinking. Her Instagram bio details that she “likes to make things” a modest description of her art. She’s as committed as any praised designer, whether she’s spending 150+ hours churning out a cocktail dress made entirely of pennies or recreating iconic Met Gala looks

F6X2

F6X2 is known to upcycle vintage blankets and old denim into plush hoodies or zip-up coats. Even the wildest of throwback throws have been upgraded into one of their bold designs. Though outerwear and pullovers are their specialty, expect to see variety on their profile with the inclusion of upcycled bags and bottoms.

Praise

Inspired by unconventional fashion houses like Margiela, Praise breaks down common clothing and reworks the pieces into unequaled art. He’s known to slash waistbands, pockets, sleeves, and more to create unique patchwork apparel.

Cory Infinite

Cory Infinite is a distinctive designer who specializes in headwear though they can make a mean jumpsuit too. Infinite’s nearly exclusive designs feature various materials from crochet to household items like books and boom boxes.

5 Common Mistakes When Choosing a Prom Dress

Prom season is coming, and you must be excited about this memorable event. You imagine wearing the perfect prom dress, looking elegant and unique. You also want to impress your date and friends with your prom look.

Not only that—you want everything to go smoothly and look fabulous in photos. Thus, it’s essential to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions.

When choosing or buying a prom dress, there are some things you should consider, including dress size, fabrics, accessories, and shoes. Also, don’t forget your make-up and hairstyle.

These things are crucial to ensure you have a splendid and memorable prom night. And to help you achieve that perfect night, here are some mistakes to avoid when choosing a prom dress.

Excessive Sparkle

Sparkles can be striking and make you stand out. However, a dress loaded with glitter looks tacky and will attract people’s attention for the wrong reason.

If you want to look unique and shine on your prom night, choose a dress with the right amount of sparkle. Try to balance everything and avoid dresses with too many sequins or sparkles.

Purchasing a Dress Online Without Much Thought

Buying a prom dress online can help you save money as they often cost much less. However, that good deal may lead you to spend more.

Sometimes, it takes months for these online retailers to ship and deliver their dresses. Also, their dresses can be deceiving as they can look great in the online catalog but look different in actuality.

You’ve heard countless stories of people complaining about it, as many items of clothing can end up looking cheap, ill-fitting, or made of poor materials when the buyer receives them. 

Purchasing dresses online is like a gamble. There is no assurance that you will get a great product. Nonetheless, there are many online places where you can shop for clothes without worrying about quality and reliability.

If you’re buying online, shop on a reputable site or company, read reviews and check their rating. Also, know your accurate measurements to ensure you order the correct size.

Click here if you’re looking for affordable and quality prom dresses online.

Picking the Wrong Size

Your dress size is crucial, especially in a special event like prom night. You don’t want to feel like you can’t breathe or move because of your dress. Also, you don’t want your straps to keep falling while dancing.

If you found your dream dress and it’s not in your size, you may have it altered to fit you perfectly. If not, you can always choose another dress that fits right to a tee to be comfortable while having fun.

Wearing the Wrong Underwear

Underwear may not be noticeably visible, but it can affect your looks without knowing it. For one, choosing the appropriate bra for your dress’s neckline is important. Ensure it can’t be seen but also offers the support you need. Also, check that the rest of your underwear is seamless and allows you to display your natural curve.

Buying Dress Outside The Budget

Before you begin shopping for your prom dress, set a reasonable budget. Then, visit dress shops that fit your budget. Checking out thrift stores where you can buy affordable dresses can be a practical option. Avoid picking dresses that are out of your budget.

Pick The Perfect Dress For Your Prom Night

Prom night is a special and memorable occasion. Therefore, it’s essential to wear the best dress and avoid these common mistakes in buying a dress. This guide can help you have a smooth sailing and exciting prom night.
