When in Doubt, Wear Your Clothes Backwards or Inside Out
For as long as I can remember, I've loved wearing things the 'wrong' way and repurposing non-traditional objects as outfits. Skirts as sleeveless dresses, necklaces as belts and vice versa, button-down tops backwards, wide belts as skirts, skirts over pants. I also have a penchant for Christmas ornaments as earrings, and antique miniature portraits meant for walls on chains as charms. There is nothing better to me than wearing vintage skinny belts (preferably by Whiting & Davis) as necklaces. But most of all: jackets, coats, shirts and dresses, inside out. So, I was overjoyed when on the fall 2025 runways, more than one designer engaged in flipping the script on how we conventionally wear our clothes. Upside down, inside out, reversed and contorted. For the final of Yohji Yamamoto's fall 2025 collection, a group of models emerged wearing long back jackets with brilliant royal purple accents. They paused for the audience to look on, as they swapped the garments and turned them literally inside out, helping each other along the way to reveal outfits that were entirely different from what they first wore. Yohji-San famously doesn't do interviews unless they're in-person, but via an email, he tells Vogue that the concept was about 'perfection... imperfection... I think they are the same. They can switch. So I want to show both sides.' He continues: 'When you wear clothes in a different way, maybe you find something new. When you turn them inside out, you can see the construction. You see the truth. Sometimes this part is more beautiful.' Yohji Yamamoto fall 2025 collection. Yohji Yamamoto fall 2025 collection. Likewise, the rising brand Zomer, run by Danial Aitouganov and Imruh Asha, kicked off its fall 2025 show backwards, with models taking their final walk first. They all wore pieces that were upside down, turned around, or purposely inverted. 'It all began with a conversation between us, a shared desire to go back in time and redo things,' says Aitouganov. 'That idea sparked our styling process, which then evolved into the design phase. Some pieces are intentionally designed to be worn back to front. They might look 'wrong' at first, but the fit is just right. And some items were styled specifically for the show.' For Sarah Burton's fall 2025 Givenchy debut, structured dresses looked like they had been intentionally designed to look backwards, revealing the flip side of a collar that may have been on the back. Similarly, sustainable designer Maria McManus had models wear outerwear inside out for the spring 2025 show, to show the otherwise hidden details like organic cotton lining, buttons made from biodegradable potato starch and corozo nuts, and expertly bound seams.

American Express Platinum Card Gets Major Refresh To Attract Younger Cardholders
American Express announced plans to overhaul its Platinum Card, targeting millennial and Gen Z consumers with expanded lounge access and enhanced dining benefits. The refresh will roll out in fall 2025. It represents Amex's largest-ever investment in updating a card product and comes at a critical time when younger generations already account for 35% of the company's total U.S. consumer spending. According to Howard Grosfield, Amex Group President of U.S. Consumer Services, the company aims to take the Platinum Card 'to a new level, not only in what they offer in travel, dining and lifestyle benefits but also in how they look and feel, to meet the evolving needs of our customers.' The move comes more than four years after Amex's last major Platinum Card update in 2021. This previous update added numerous benefits and raised the annual fee to $695. Airport lounge access remains a cornerstone of the Platinum Card value proposition, with Amex poised to open three new Centurion Lounge locations within the next year. This expansion will bring its premium lounge network to 32 locations worldwide, reinforcing Amex's first-mover advantage in the airport lounge space that began over four decades ago. Amex specifically highlighted dining programs as a key focus area for the refresh, likely aiming to appeal to younger cardholders who prioritize culinary experiences. While specific details remain under wraps until fall, industry observers expect enhanced restaurant reservation services, expanded dining credits, and potential new partnership with popular food delivery platforms that resonate with Gen Z spending habits. The timing of Amex's announcement appears deliberately calculated to counter Chase's heavily promoted upcoming Sapphire Reserve refresh. With Capital One's Venture X card also recently updated, 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for premium credit card competition. Beyond digital benefits, Amex specifically mentioned changing how the Platinum Card 'looks and feels,' suggesting a physical redesign is coming. This aesthetic update could appeal particularly to image-conscious Gen Z members who view their payment methods as status symbols and extensions of personal brand identity. The exact details of the refreshed benefits package remain confidential until the official fall announcement. Still, the company's emphasis on capturing younger premium cardholders signals a strategic pivot as American Express works to ensure its flagship product remains relevant to evolving consumer post American Express Platinum Card Gets Major Refresh To Attract Younger Cardholders appeared first on Travel Noire.
