The pandemic has, to varying degrees, transformed us into undercover agents. On Zoom we exist blurrily from the shoulders up; on the street our smiles and faces are hidden by masks. All of this has diminished the social aspect of fashion and hampered its expressiveness. Or has it? The figures in the Swedish painter Markus Ã
kessonâs series âNow You See Me,â currently on view at Berg Gallery in Stockholm, are shrouded by exquisite textiles, and yet they are in a way portraits of presence. Though hidden, the subject animates the canvas, and seems to inhabit a middle realm between person and object.

Another season of shows has come and gone, with Fall 2021 Men s Fashion Week wrapping up over the weekend. The fashion calendar is undergoing a reorganization of sorts, as brands and fashion councils struggle with what s necessary and what s not. London forewent the men s schedule, rolling its shows into next month s women s shows. New York, too, called things off. In Milan and Paris though, the shows must go on. Most brands opted for lookbooks or pre-shot videos; others, elaborate live-streamed runways; and still others, actual in-person shows, albeit with very few attendees.
