Madewell And Reluxe Fashion Collaboration
Madewell, the denim giant, collaborated with the luxury platform Reluxe Fashion. The collection contains preowned luxury fashion garments and accessories. For this collection, the founder of Reluxe Fashion, Clare Richardson, chose high quality designer pieces. From Dior to Saint Laurent, this luxurious spread has it all. Besides the two pairs of Chloé jeans, this collaboration proved that Madewell can create more than just create exquisite denim.
Wisdom In Style
Clare Richardson has a long history of style and fashion expertise. She was a fashion editor at Italian and British Vogue. Additionally, she held the same title when she worked for the Wall Street Journal. She has styled outfits for countless shoots. Vogue Paris and the Last Magazine are just two of the many publications her work has appeared in.
The items selected for this collection represent her refined taste in fashion. Regarding shape, design, and more, Clare Richardson chose unique pieces that mirror both current and past style trends.
Now and Then
A number of grand luxury labels appeared in the collection. Maison Margiela, Isabel Marant, and Celine are a few of the fashion giants whose preloved pieces were hand picked. Madewell and Reluxe Fashion grouped these pieces together for both the experienced and novice style consumers. With the recent fashion scene, vintage and slightly used items have skyrocketed in value. Instead of buying new pieces, consumers are turning to sites like Reluxe Fashion to find their dream luxury item. Madewell designs quality garments that can be worn hundreds of times over, and in doing so, the brand lessens its impact on the environment. Simply put, this collaboration spoke to the values of each brand and their passion for style and the planet.
The collection focused on late fall and early winter styles. A multitude of the pieces were outerwear, bottoms, or blouses. The Saint Laurent Preowned Wool Waistcoat and the Celine Ombre Oversized Preowned Shirt exemplify current style trends. The waistcoat shape is trending and mirrors that of the recent global interest in vests. The oversized shirt speaks to popular opinion of both shape and flow. Also, new generations are leaning towards baggy and oversized forms of clothing. Looking at these two items, it can be argued that trends were a factor in Clare Richardson’s decision process for the collection.
A New World
As pieces from the collaboration continue to sell out, it appears that Madewell and Reluxe Fashion are a perfect match. The pieces by themselves are exquisite, but the hard work and passion that went into this collection is even better. Clearly, this collaboration worked so well because of the love each brand has for fashion. The casting alone, including names like Andrea Diaconu and Paloma Elsesser, brought these preloved pieces to newer generations. Undoubtedly, this collaboration will be remembered for years to come simply based on the styling and execution of the two brands.
