Turns Out Spring/Summer 2019 is Josep Font’s Last Collection for Delpozo

Last week, Josep Font showcased his SS ’19 line for Delpozo in London and now, it turns out, that is to be his very last collection for the Spanish brand. Brought on in 2012 after the passing of its namesake founder, Jesus del Pozo, Font quickly established the brand as Hollywood’s go-to choice for whimsical eveningwear.

His singular design vision gave critics and consumers something to look forward to season after season, carving a distinct and instantly identifiable niche in the overrun fashion space. The brand’s confident display of sculptural innovation, powered by a playful sense of romance, earned it fans around the globe, ranging from emerging starlet Kiernan Shipka to Bollywood superstar Sonam Kapoor to veteran risk-taker Cate Blanchett.

“I am very proud of what we have achieved together in the short space of six years,” said Font in a statement, as reported by WWD. “I want to thank my talented team who has been committed since the beginning of this journey.”

No word yet on where Font will go from here, but I hope his couture-like precision and penchant for whimsy will find another home soon enough, perhaps back at his own eponymous label, which he launched in 1991. My love for Font’s Delpozo is a trifle odd, considering my own reluctance to don anything that can’t be described as a neutral and a long-established aversion to sculptural flourishes of any kind. But over the past six years, his became one of the collections I most looked forward to seeing: for his deft use of colour, from macaron pastels to blazing neons; for his unabashed romanticism; and for his remarkable, almost-too-pretty-to-wear construction. The fashion calendar is an overcrowded one, to be sure, but in an increasingly gloomy world, I believe it’s worth making room for artistic work that never fails to lift the spirit.

Click through for a quick look at my top five favourite looks from Font’s swan song at Delpozo.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
