The hottest style events ahead of festival season 

When it comes to style, we are all inspired by what we see; whether it be a well-dressed celebrity, a blow-your-mind catwalk presentation or even a fashionable passerby.

As fashion editors, we’re moved by all of the above, and then some. We’re exposed to under-the-radar labels; we get a first-hand look at collections months before they hit stores; we attend VIP events; we’re tapped into brands with chic-yet-cheap offerings and we shop — a lot.

To share our knowledge, FEMAIL brings you Style Swoon, a weekly series of the latest, greatest and on the verge. We hope this Friday series will serve as a buying guide and point of inspiration for all.

This week’s edition focuses on the hottest events to take place in fashion just ahead of festival season.

The stunning pieces are rendered in matte crepe, sequins and doubleface satin with signature LAPOINTE feather detailing, in a color palette of lime , aqua and mint

Fashionable dinner 

Fiorucci celebrated their spring 2023 collection and festival season at Ardor Terrace at the West Hollywood Edition in Los Angeles this week.

For the special evening, Artistic Director Daniel W. Fletcher hosted an intimate dinner with fashion and music notables. 

The iconic label was established in 1967 by Elio Fiorucci as a collaborative brand where fashion, art, and music mixed. 

Attendees perfectly embodied the brand’s vision and beliefs with Influencers like Chriselle Lim and Kelsey Merritt, and Australian singer-songwriter, Troye Sivan, in attendance.

Chriselle looked chic in a black dress topped by Fiorucci’s ‘Graphic Poster Wall’  denim jacket. 

While Kelsey Merritt, actress Georgie Flores, and Tiktoker Zack Lugo, beautifully styled pieces from the new collection to reflect their personalities.

Troye donned a full Fiorucci look with a jacket and jeans boasting the brand’s logo with laser monogramming. 

The newest collection plays with bold graphics and prints inspired by the brand’s archive, including their iconic angels in a new liquid chrome graphic emblazoned across washed out sweats, crop tops and silky shirts.

‘I start each season looking through the Fiorucci archive and one of the things that I uncovered this season was a pile of photos of an event in the Beverly Hills store in the 70s for Blondie’s Parallel Lines album launch,’ said Daniel W. Fletcher.

‘LA is such an important part of Fiorucci’s history and I love hearing stories of the store which occupied the Beverly Theatre with the music pumping and Andy Warhol and Joan Jett hanging out at the store; it sounds like a wild time so I always love bringing the brand back here and celebrating where we are today with the new generation of creatives who are now part of the Fiorucci family.’
