(AND SOME OF THE ASIAN MODELS WHO COMMANDED THE SEASON’S RUNWAYS)

Graphic lines and geometric shapes take on new life.

Designers are returning to the core foundation of fashion – the original art form of dressmaking, while stripping off the pomp of decorative elements.

Though the pre-fall collections were designed well before the current crisis, the messages behind them are more resonant than ever. Many conveyed a sense of joyfulness through candy colours, megawatt metallics and frothy fabrics. Others championed good old staples: Hard-working denim, chic camel suits and sparkly glad rags for night.

Blizzard’s vision for the future of esports Blizzard’s Overwatch League is ending its inaugural season this month with the playoffs scheduled to kickoff next month. The grueling seven-month long competition started in January this year and sees 12 professional teams battling it out to win a share of its US$3.5 million prize pool. But while league viewership figures have been promising, the whole thing remains a massive gamble. Initially announced way back at Blizzcon 2016, the League is the most ambitious attempt at turning esports into a legitimate sports league to date. If it succeeds, Blizzard will set a new standard in esports that other games will look to follow, but if it fails, over three hundred million dollars will have been sunk into a venture that many said was doomed to fail right from the start.
