Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. The last time I heard Alber Elbaz speak, he sounded optimistic. He was addressing editors via Zoom for the launch of his line AZ Factory on Net-a-Porter. It was shortly after the inauguration, and he explained that President Biden (or, as he pronounced it, Bee-DEN) had given him hope that you didn’t need to be a spring chicken to succeed.

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. If your life feels like a never-ending parade of concentric Zoom windows, FaceTime squares, and a thousand open tabs, the fall 2021 collections suggest you’re not alone. Perhaps inspired by our ragtag lockdown uniforms of corporate casual on top, sweatpants party on the bottom, designers in London and Milan went for unusual combinations that transcended the typical styling tricks to reflect our fractured, fragmented reality.
