Abel López Mexico Fall 2025 Collection
Singling out his mother as his inspiration, Abel Lopez said, 'this collection pays homage to the character that brought me to life.' Reprising his usual deconstruction, the designer presented an array of dresses in silhouettes that spanned various decades, as well as tailored suits with shirting cut in interesting ways. A satin blouse unleashed delicate movements with a cape attached at the neck; repeated in a sheer animal print gauze, it looked slightly less formal, especially when paired with jeans in a khaki-gray wash. What made this collection attractive was the intricacy in the construction of each piece: a strapless dress embraced the body as if a piece of fabric was simply wrapped around it, with a subtle dropped waist for emphasis; and a tight pencil skirt had an apron-like detail at the front. Other loose-fitting silhouettes in shades of yellow and green seemed to cater to more bohemian souls. Lopez certainly made his point about the woman he wants to dress: one that is dynamic in style but will choose elegance above all else.

Media: @muzisufi Instagram Introducing Life, Styled , GRAZIA's new series where fashion meets everyday elegance. It's long been known that the region's women are true epitomes of style. Whether it's power dressing at the office or just a casual day out for brunch in the city, women across the Middle East have consistently showcased their flair to finesse day-to-day fashion. For the first edition of this chic new series, Dubai-based influencer Muzi Sufi took GRAZIA inside her wardrobe rotation, revealing seven days of seven different outfits. From sleek tailoring with a twist to staple, timeless accessories, Muzi shows what exactly it takes to elevate the everyday. Photo: @muzisufi Instagram Always a fan of the barrel jeans, Muzi opted for the versatility of denim, paired with sharp colour-blocking with blacks. A natural selection for the woman always on the move, she styled her jeans with a pointed-shoulder blazer layered over with a black-and-white striped tube top. Complementing her 'fit are a slew of accessories, from pointed pumps, a Celine Claude chain bag, and a chunky gold necklace. Photo: @muzisufi Instagram Wearing a cropped top featuring a rounded neck, long sleeves, and gold statement buttons, Muzi paired it with high-rise straight-fit jeans. Keeping the fit simple yet evidently elevated, she accessorised with Saint Laurent Le Mallion loafers in black and a brown suede Y tote, a perfectly unstructured bag to carry essentials. Photo: @muzisufi Instagram Playing with colour and technique, the influencer stylistically shifted a vibrant scarf into a bandeau top, layered under a sharp padded shoulder blazer. She added texture to her ensemble with a pair of slitted leggings and a black lace skirt ( lace is back, and it's everywhere ) to match her pointed-toe heels. She rounded off the look with a Saint Laurent Le 5 à 7 crocodile-embossed shiny leather bag in a green colourway. Photo: @muzisufi Instagram An unapologetic intermix of sporty meets business casual, this time she paired a white dynamic silhouette which featured a hooded shirt with a plunging cowl neckline all tucked in a floor-length front-pleated trouser. To add colour, she expertly accessorised a golden cuff over the long sleeves as well as a dainty gold ring. Photo: @muzisufi Instagram Formal wear with some twists and turns, Muzi manoeuvred her high-waisted trousers and layered a brown matte skirt. While we've heard of unbuttoned trousers, now, there's an unzipped side skirt trend which is snyoymus with the same trend. She wore a classic deep-rounded shirt, adding a touch of finesse with a pair of Bottega Veneta Madame mules and accessorised with a Victoria Beck Chain Pouch in Nappa leather. Photo: @muzisufi Instagram Undoubtedly a fit for the summer, Muzi wore a Sweden-based brand Toteme's fluid jersey. A relaxing knitted fit which features raglan sleeves and a flowy hem, this dress in a muted brown hue is further fine-tuned with a texturised crafted tote by Bottega Veneta namely Hop large intrecciato leather tote and, of course, the versatile Madame mules. Photo: @muzisufi Instagram A true ultra-feminine flair, Muzi embraces texture in the form of a lightweight puffy blouse by Rokh Hwang. Introducing a fluid graceful structure with its gathered fabric from its torso to its sleeves with front ties and buttoned cuffs, which she seemingly balanced all together with a sheer four-tiered skirt all wrapped with a figure-hugging studded belt by Khaite. topics: Life Styled, Muzi Sufi, FASHION, Dubai, UAE, 2025 Fashion, STYLE, LIFESTYLE, INFLUENCER, DUBAI BASED INFLUENCERS, Dubai Influencer, Influencer Approved

The rise of the Royal monochromatic wardrobe - and the family member behind the trend as Beatrice and Sophie follow suit writes ELIZA SCARBOROUGH
In the world of royal fashion, trends may come and go, but one style principle has proven itself a steadfast favourite among the Firm's most fashion-savvy women: The monochromatic wardrobe. Opting for the same tried-and-tested silhouette in a variety of flattering shades, the royals are showing that when it comes to dressing for duty, consistency is key. It's the ultimate embodiment of the age-old adage, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. From the Princess of Wales to the Duchess of Edinburgh, a growing number of royal women are quietly embracing a fashion formula that combines elegance with efficiency. A longstanding fan of classic cuts and demure tailoring, the Duchess of Edinburgh stepped out for the Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day in an ice-blue version of the 'Yahvi' dress by one of her most trusted labels Beulah London. But this wasn't the first time she had worn the style. It was the fourth. The same design has appeared on her in yellow, cream and coral, and for good reason. It's flattering, appropriate, and photograph-friendly, three things no royal ensemble can afford to compromise on. This clever capsule approach to fashion is a style trick Sophie seems to have learned from none other than the Princess of Wales, arguably the reigning monarch of monochromatic dressing. Chief among her favourites is the timeless Emilia Wickstead 'Kate' dress which was named after her. The Princess of Wales is said to have loved the original design so much that she commissioned versions in navy, lavender and olive green. The result? A streamlined wardrobe that exudes sophistication while reinforcing a cohesive, recognisable royal image. Princess Beatrice, known for her fashion evolution in recent years, has also embraced this styling trick and has been spotted in various Beulah London dresses, following the formula of a similar cut repeated in a spectrum of colours. Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh A royal favourite? The Duchess of Edinburgh opted for her go-to dress when attending the Service of Thanksgiving on VE Day. Her ice blue version of Beulah London's 'Yahvi' design has become a winning formula for the stylish royal thanks to its long sleeves with fluted cuffs, A-line skirt and fitted bodice, making it a sophisticated, timeless piece that works in countless settings. For last year's Trooping the Colour she chose to wear the dress in sunshine yellow, which she matched with a coordinating Jane Taylor hat and previous to that she wore the design in coral for the Orbis Visionaries Reception at Abbey Road Studios in 2024. The style was first debuted at a pre-Coronation reception at Buckingham Palace in 2023 in cream and all of the colourways have since been recycled and worn countless times. Catherine, Princess of Wales Long-sleeved and belted at the waist, Emilia Wickstead's 'Kate' dress was first spotted in lavender in October 2018 when Catherine attended the Global Ministerial Mental Health Summit in London. Less than a year later an olive green version of the bespoke gown was worn to open the Anna Freud Centre in London, although the neckline had been slightly modified. Next was navy in November 2019 when the Princess of Wales attended the launch of the National Emergencies Trust. For Princess Charlotte's christening in 2015, Catherine looked pristine in an ivory Alexander McQueen coat dress. A few years later for Harry and Meghan's royal wedding celebrations it looked very similar but was actually in a pale shade of primrose yellow. Later, proving that a classic cut can stand the test of time, she donned the same piece but this time in pale blue to attend the Westminster Abbey service for the Centenary of the Royal Air Force in July 2018. The elegant longline coat dress has become one of Kate's most relied upon fashion styles, which was first adopted by Princess Diana in the 1980s. A cross over bodice design with neat lapels, nipped in waist and flared skirt by Emilia Wickstead has become a firm favourite of Catherine's. Looking radiant in a pale blue version, Kate attended the Easter Sunday Service in 2022 in the flattering silhouette. Next was a bold shade of deep coral pink with a coordinating Jane Taylor fascinator for the 2022 Buckingham Palace garden party and most recently it was seen again in burgundy for the VE Day Memorial with a slightly higher neckline and longer hemline but the same nipped in waist and full skirt. Since becoming Princess of Wales, Kate has perfected the art of power dressing, repeatedly turning to her trusty Alexander McQueen trouser suit in a rainbow of colours. Flatteringly cropped at the ankle, the tailored trousers and matching single-breasted jacket have become Kate's alternative to the fitted dresses of the past. She first chose a crisp white version in March 2022 during a Jamaica tour. A few months later it was pretty in pink for Catherine for a meeting she hosted with the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. In November 2022 when arriving in Boston the suit was repeated in navy for a formal take on the tailoring, and most recently teal was the colour of choice for Kate's wardrobe essential as she stepped out to open the Evelina London Children's Day Surgery Unit. Princess Beatrice This structured dress boasts puffy shoulders and a wide belt cinched at the waist, together with buttons along the front as well as on the cuffs. Princess Beatrice is clearly a fan of Beulah London's best-selling 'Ahana' style as she owns it in three colourways. First debuted during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in icy blue, it was later replaced by a teal version for the Variety Club Awards ceremony a few months later in November 2022. At the Princess of Wales' Together at Christmas carol concert in 2023 Beatrice chose the style with a festive twist in navy and emerald green tartan.
