Moving on from the WFH-ready sweats and slides of 2020 and 2021, the world looked to more colors, patterns and silhouettes in 2022, using fashion as a way to feel somewhat normal in a turbulent world.

We’re back with the latest edition of our year-end series Hypebae Best, where we round up some of the biggest moments in fashion this year, according to our editors. Miu Miu was undeniably one of the hottest brands of the year thanks to the surge in balletcore and ultra-mini trends, as was Jacquemus with its buzzy Nike collaboration. Surrealism was a key theme in Jonathan Anderson‘s collections for Loewe, while Glenn Martens continued to break fashion norms at Diesel and Telfar rolled out successful collaborations with Eastpak and Moose Knuckles.

We’re also spotlighting five exciting up-and-coming names in the fashion space, including Miaou, Beate Karlsson and A. Roege Hove, which saw buzzy moments on social media, the streets and on the runway. As for It fashion items, our outfits throughout the year wouldn’t have been complete without accessories like the viral 1DR handbag, Apple‘s AirPods Max headphones or the Miu Miu set.

Continue scrolling to see the top fashion brands, designers and It items of the year, and stay tuned for more from our Hypebae Best 2022 roundups in footwear, sex and dating, music and film.
