When Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour finally returns to Wembley Stadium this weekend, it’s not just the music we’re buzzing about—it’s the outfits. If you’re a Swiftie, you know attending a Taylor concert is basically a rite of passage, and let’s be honest, half the fun is planning what to wear. Each of Taylor’s albums isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a fully realized aesthetic, with its own signature style. From the sparkly, retro vibe of 1989 to the dark, moody allure of Reputation, Taylor has always been a fashion chameleon, and her fans are more than happy to play along. The Eras Tour is an event like no other—a chance to dive into every phase of Taylor’s career, and what better way to do that than by dressing in a look inspired by your favourite era? Whether you’re feeling the country-pop nostalgia of Fearless or the wistful, woodsy vibe of Folklore, there’s a perfect outfit just waiting for you to wear to Wembley. And let’s be real, with all the hype around this tour, your look is going to need to be on point. In this guide, we’ll break down the essential pieces for each Taylor Swift era—because, yes, the clothes you wear to this concert matter that much. Think fringe and rhinestones for Fearless, pastel and sparkles for Lover, and plenty of black for Reputation (duh). Whether you’re going full glam or keeping it low-key, these Taylor-inspired looks will have you ready to strut into Wembley like you’re on Taylor’s stage. So, grab your favourite lipstick, lace up those boots, and get ready to channel your inner Taylor—because at the Eras Tour, your outfit is practically part of the show. Fearless Era Let's talk Fearless. This was the era where Taylor cemented herself as the queen of country-pop crossover, and her style was all about those golden, all-American vibes. To nail this look, go for gold—literally. A gold dress with fringe details will make you feel like you’re stepping right out of the "Love Story" music video. Pair it with some rhinestone-studded cowgirl boots (because Fearless without boots? We think not), and top it off with Taylor’s signature curls. Don’t forget to draw a ‘13’ on your hand—it’s practically a requirement. Speak Now Era Even if Speak Now only has one song on the setlist, that doesn’t mean we’re not giving it the love it deserves. For this era, purple is your power colour. Think voluminous, fairytale dresses that scream “enchanted evening,” or if you’re not into dresses, a blouse with ruffles or puff sleeves will give you that princessy vibe. Finish with a bold red lip, a high ponytail, and maybe even write a lyric down your arm—just like Taylor did during her original Speak Now Tour. Red Era Red is all about making a statement—and that statement is, well, red. This is the era of high-waisted shorts, striped tops, and Taylor’s iconic heart-shaped sunglasses. The look is effortlessly cool, with a touch of that 2012 hipster vibe. If you really want to go all out, throw in a red scarf (yes, that one) and top it off with a bold red lip and winged eyeliner. You’ll be the most fashionable Swiftie in the crowd, guaranteed. 1989 Era Now we’re talking 1989, the era of Taylor’s full-blown pop transformation. This look is sleek, stylish, and a little bit retro. Think crop tops, high-waisted skirts, and a classic red lip. If you’re feeling extra, add a sequin bomber jacket for that extra pop of sparkle. And don’t forget the sunglasses—because what’s 1989 without a pair of cool shades? Reputation Era Ah, Reputation. This is Taylor’s dark, edgy phase, and it’s all about making a statement in black. You’ll want something that feels powerful and a little dangerous, like a hooded bodysuit or anything that’s dripping in attitude. Snake accessories are non-negotiable, and a dark, vampy lip will have you channelling Taylor’s no-nonsense energy. Trust us, you’ll be Ready For It. Lover Era Lover is Taylor at her most romantic, and the fashion reflects that. Think pastel everything, with plenty of sparkles and pinks. A glittery blazer or a soft, ombré dress will have you looking like you stepped right out of the “Lover” music video. The key here is sweetness—so go for soft waves, light makeup, and a pop of colour on your nails. Folklore & Evermore Eras For Folklore and Evermore, it’s all about that cosy, cabin-in-the-woods vibe. Flowing dresses in earth tones, florals, and plenty of layers will have you channelling Taylor’s most introspective eras. If you’re leaning more Evermore, go for a plaid pattern or a bohemian maxi dress, and don’t forget to braid your hair—it’s all about that effortless, natural look. Midnights Era Midnights is the era of glitz, glam, and late-night vibes. Think sequins, tinsel, and anything that catches the light. A multi-chrome tinsel coat or a navy blue sequin dress will have you sparkling like the midnight sky. Finish the look with shimmery makeup and you’re all set to dance the night away. The Tortured Poets Department Era Finally, we have The Tortured Poets Department, the latest chapter in Taylor’s ever-evolving story. This era is all about muted tones, vintage-inspired pieces, and a touch of old-world drama. Think black and white with ruffles, lace, and Victorian details. A ruffled blouse or a dress with a high neckline will give you that TTPD vibe—add a bow for a nod to Taylor’s iconic style, and you’re good to go. There you have it—your ultimate guide to dressing like a Taylor Swift era at Wembley. Whether you’re all about the country chic of Fearless or the brooding darkness of Reputation, there’s a Taylor-inspired look that’s perfect for you. And remember, the most important thing is to have fun with it—because at the end of the day, the Eras Tour is all about celebrating the music, the memories, and yes, the fashion.

Copenhagen Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 just wrapped up, and let me tell you, it was the breath of fresh air the fashion industry desperately needed. As the big four—New York, London, Milan, Paris—sometimes feel like they’re caught in a never-ending cycle of recycling ideas and reshuffling the same designers from one house to another, Copenhagen is emerging as the place where real innovation is happening. And if this season was any indication, the Danish capital is well on its way to solidifying its reputation as a fashion week that truly matters.

Back in 1930 Salvatore Ferragamo purchased the Palazzo Spini Feroni which was quickly claimed as the home of the fashion label. Almost 100 years later Maximilian Davis returns, staging a Fall 2024 campaign showcasing the merge of the past and present, inviting the viewer to sit down and observe the growth of the brand. Aside from the history lesson of the campaign, we are presented with a small selection of modern tailoring and eveningwear, which was shown earlier this year during the brand’s FW 2024 runway show. It explores the spirit of the 1920s with utilitarian looks, such as striking long coats in black or green contrasting an evening dress or a skirt revealing as the model walked, portraying the liberation after the First World War. One of the looks shown was a red maroon organza dress paired with a signature high heels covered in ruffled feathers in purple, an odd pairing, but an interesting one nonetheless, especially from a more traditional tailoring-focused brand. We are also presented with a twist on a traditionally more masculine silhouette - a pea jacket in a grey pistachio colour, with a wider stitching for a refined look, paired with a skirt in the same colour and a shirt, the layering of texture against a more simplistic colour palette brings our focus on the tailoring. The campaign is rounded off with a similar proposition in the men’s wardrobe - the same cut and style jacket in a light brown tone worn by a model paired with a wine colour vest, a white shirt and tailored barrel trousers in the same colour. Is this Ferragamo’s statement at perhaps tailoring aimed at everyone, rather than gender-specific?

Palace’s third seasonal offering of 2024 is here, and it’s nothing short of spectacular. Known for its expansive collections, the London-based brand delivers hundreds of styles that blend practicality with whimsy, all tied together by Palace’s signature graphic branding and a nod to skate and throwback sportswear influences. This season, the brand continues to push the envelope with city-exclusive Champion collaborations, a “Palace Guard” capsule, and an abundance of GORE-TEX and Polartec materials. Sweatshirts: Sweatshirts are aplenty, available in both zip and non-zip varieties. Standouts include a wordmark hoodie adorned with Celtic crosses on its sleeves, a vibrant “Peace and Love” graphic hoodie featuring an array of national flags, and a text logo hoodie with Earth graphics. Palace’s familiar embellishments are ever-present, from the tri-text logo to various iterations of the brand’s iconic “P” logo. Striped crewnecks and several notable quarter-zip fleece items, including a unique asymmetrical zipper design, round out this cosy collection. Champion Collaboration: This season’s Champion collaboration dives deep into varsity style, offering exclusive hoodies and tees crafted from Champion’s renowned Reverse Weave cotton. Each piece is exclusive to its respective store locations in London, New York, Tokyo, Seoul, and Los Angeles. These pieces feature collegiate-style wordmark graphics nodding to their respective cities, and the hoodies add an extra pop with cream-colored strings and gold hardware. Jackets: Palace’s expertise in technical outerwear shines this season. Highlights include a fully waterproof GORE-TEX jacket with a stowable hood and lightweight wind jackets perfect for autumn breezes. Traditional varsity-style garments also make a statement, including a varsity jacket with a quilted hood and a tartan-lined car coat from the “Palace Guard” capsule, inspired by London’s iconic Kings Guard. The collection also boasts work-style jackets with quilted hoods, denim jackets, fuzzy animal-fur-like truckers, and a range of track jackets and sleeveless Polartec fleece vests. Bottoms: The selection of shorts and pants is one of the strongest segments of the Palace Fall 2024 collection.

Full-zip knits nod to Porsche with logo-flipped crests and wordmarks, while heart-and-star adorned sweaters offer a playful touch. The “Palace Guard” theme continues with tartan and brightly hued sweaters. Long-sleeve button-ups include camo shooter shirts with recoil-reducing pads, colourful flannels, and elegant oxfords. Short-sleeve button-ups range from whimsical prints to solid colour schemes, providing versatile options for layering. Hats: The hats and caps in this collection span a wide range of styles. From all-over print Realtree dad hats to furry trucker caps, there’s something for everyone. Technical options include running caps, GORE-TEX hats with face shrouds, and more from the “Palace Guard” capsule. Beanies and buckets arrive in force, with various GORE-TEX, Polartec, and traditional cotton options. Longsleeves and T-Shirts: Long sleeves and tees provide one of the most extensive ranges in the collection. Graphic tee highlights include a colourful watermelon vase, a reimagined “Peace and Love” graphic, and a homage to house music. A football-helmet adorned “Pallas” tee humorously flips the Dallas Cowboys logo. Long-sleeves offer straightforward styles, including two-tone options and staple “Basically a Longsleeve” designs, ensuring ample variety for layering and individual expression. Tops Tops this season are strongly influenced by sport, celebrating the Olympic year with a diverse range of athletic-inspired styles. The collection features football jerseys, both global and American, alongside baseball jerseys, paying homage to various athletic achievements. Complementing these are more traditional sportswear pieces such as color-blocked rugby shirts and classic polos. The line-up is completed with a variety of striped tees, adding a timeless touch to the sporty theme. Footwear: The footwear offering is succinct yet stylish, featuring a single pair of navy blue house slippers with gold embroidery. These slippers exude a classic elegance, showcasing a classical fountain design surrounded by text, making them a perfect addition to the collection for those who appreciate subtlety and sophistication. Accessories: This season’s accessories lean towards practicality, with items like mugs, key rings, belts, and stickers. However, Palace retains its playful spirit with a foam finger featuring a triumphantly extended middle digit, sure to delight fans with its cheeky charm. Hardware: Lastly, the collection includes a selection of skate decks, most featuring vibrant all-over collage prints. Notably, some decks incorporate egg imagery, multi-faced aliens, spray-painted collages, and macabre skull assemblages. For those preferring a more subdued look, geometric logo decks are also available, catering to diverse aesthetic preferences. Palace’s Fall 2024 collection is a vibrant tapestry of urban flair, technical precision, and playful creativity, offering something for everyone. Whether you’re seeking practical outerwear, cosy sweatshirts, or stylish accessories, this collection promises to deliver.

In the ever-evolving world of streetwear, few brands have maintained their cultural relevance and innovative edge quite like Criminal Damage. Established in 1991, this iconic London-based label has continually captured the spirit of the city’s youth. Now, as it marks over three decades in the industry, Criminal Damage is set to make a striking statement with their relaunch Fall/Winter 2024 collection, titled “Track & Field”. Perfectly timed with the Paris Olympics 2024, the “Track & Field” collection celebrates the dynamic synergy of sports, athletics, and streetwear. This season, Criminal Damage elevates its game, offering a range of pitch-ready, training, and post-game apparel that redefines streetwear with an athletic twist. Iconic silhouettes, bold graphics, and innovative fabrications come together to pay homage to the enduring influence of sport on fashion. The collection features an array of varsity jackets, training tops, football shirts and baseball jerseys, each piece a nostalgic nod to team sports, infused with a contemporary flair. The designs prominently display ticket stub repeat prints and re-worked varsity-style logos, with the number “91” serving as a proud reminder of the brand’s founding year and its enduring legacy. Monty Aytan, the force behind Criminal Damage, shares insights into the brand’s journey and the creative process behind the new collection, in our interview: Criminal Damage has been a staple in streetwear for over 30 years. As you reflect on its journey, what aspects of the brand’s original essence have remained intact, and what has transformed along the way? I would say the mission has always been the same - We have always been about the people and a product of our environment, the idea of creating a high quality product which is attainable has been the goal since day one. When looking back over the years, you can see the transformations of the collections and the way in which they are shared with the public. The biggest development has been social media, it’s changed the way in which business and marketing are done. We’ve always viewed Criminal Damage as a brand we’re here to steer forward on behalf of the community we serve. Engaging with our community through social media has allowed us to be more aligned to them and keep the Criminal Damage community at the core of everything that we do. In a landscape where streetwear trends can shift overnight and digital noise is at an all-time high, how do you navigate these challenges to keep Criminal Damage fresh and innovative? We have never been afraid of change. The saying 'the future is the youth’ has been something we have instilled in the brand. You have to adapt and evolve otherwise you will get left behind in this game. You have to be on the pulse and push your own boundaries. Graphics are at the heart of everything we do at Criminal Damage and working with the best artists and graphic designers who really understand where things are going keeps our collections fresh and forward-looking. It’s about finding that moment where one foot is ahead of trends, and the other is helping to forge trends of your own. Walk us through the creative journey of your latest collection. What sparked the move towards a more elevated and contemporary look, and how did that vision come to life? We wanted to challenge ourselves, to be able to create a collection we could showcase globally. The market, especially the UK seems to be the same old brands all doing the similar things. We want to show that London can be a player in the global streetwear world. With all collections we start off with ideas we’re inspired by and these feed down in to the final collection. For the aw24 collection, we’ve been able to add new elevated categories, fabrication and silhouettes. There’s an abundance of choice in the market today but much of this choice has been created by players in the market who are prepared to compromise on quality in the rush to bring newness to market. We’re always on a mission to re-educate customers on the value of quality apparel that’s designed to last and become a part of their wardrobe now and through the years to come. Every collection has its standout pieces. Do you have a personal favourite from this new line, and what makes it resonate with you? It’s very tough to pick out just one. But if I had to choose it would probably be the leather workwear overshirt. It’s the perfect layering piece which can be dressed up or down. Criminal Damage has reached impressive milestones. Looking ahead, where do you see the brand going next, and what exciting directions or projects are on the horizon? We want to take the brand international. We’re constantly thinking of what to do next and coming up with dope collections and collaborations. We have something very exciting on the way but we cannot reveal just yet so watch this space! We are based in London, when and where will our audience at Goldfoil Magazine be able to purchase the new collection? The collection launches end of August, keep an eye on Criminal Damage’s socials at @criminaldamage and https://www.criminaldamage.co.uk/ to be the first to know.
