Anok Yai In Creative, Protective Layers for T: The New York Times Style Magazine

Utilitarian, armorlike fashion is not new, but it’s existed primarily as camo-style athleisure or street fashion. In its traditional styling of military-fatigue colorations, AOC understands the 2019 question addressed by Marie Claire in Why My Relationship With Camo Print Is So Messy; and we’ve criticized camo prints in a world where the Kurdish women soldiers are being gunned down by ISIS.

Traditional camo fashion is elitist, and reflects both the industry ‘s and fashionistas’ self-absorbed selves.

The fashion delivered by T: The New York Times Style Magazine February 2021 fashion story ‘For Spring, Protective Layers That Are as Vivid as They Are Joyful’ is very different from past-tense camo or armorlike fashion.

Top model Anok Yai is styled by Jacob K in complex variations of protective layers from Balenciaga, Chanel, Craig Green, Jordan Dalah Studio, Loewe, Melitta Baumeister, Noir Kei Ninomiya. Rick Owens, and more. Rafael Pavarotti [IG] is behind the lens, capturing vivid, joyful distinctive headpieces, puffed-up evening gowns and more fashion abundance.
