Watch Valentino’s SS17 Show Live At 2pm GMT Today
AKA Pierpaolo's first show without Maria. Which yes, is a fashion moment, ya-di-ya. But really, who wants to schlep across the channel when you could, in fact, watch it front the comfort of your own home. By which I mean
Acne Studios: Ready-to-wear SS17
The next line is one we’ve probably busted out more than once, but it’s been a while since we last used it, and never has it been more apt that when applied to Acne Studios’ SS17 collection. This was like
Comme des Garçons: Ready-to-wear SS17
This was clothing suitable for those of you with personal space issues. Mainly because it was all fucking huge. Noone's coming close to you in that. Wide load fashion. Or, in more eloquent terms: sculptural. Comme offered us the word
Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood: Ready-to-wear SS17
Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood was epic, in the extravagant, bombastic, grand sense. It was big, larger than life. Rescue 112, the collection was titled. Why? Francois Boucher’s Rape of Europa reads 112, the European emergency number. But much more than
Elie Saab: Ready-to-wear SS17
To get to this disco, you must follow the path of the gold stardust. It was infused into each piece of the collection and covered the floor that led the way, like a yellow brick road clouded with a little
Junya Watanabe: Ready-to-wear SS17
Does anyone else remember Electric Ballroom in Camden? The goth night in the mid nineties, where all the goths gathered for a night of loosing themselves to the sound of something industrial and heavy metal sounding? Or to bastardise the
Haider Ackermann: Ready-to-wear SS17
"It was paradise birds on acid," Haider Ackermann told us backstage after the peculiarly beautifully show. "Chaos. But a controlled chaos." Yes, it was a calm, ordered chaos. A droning sound, pulsed through the room as the show began. The
Watch Andreas Kronthaler For Vivienne Westwood SS17 Live
Because what better to do on a Saturday afternoon than enjoy the latest fashions from Andreas Kronthaler For Vivienne Westwood? We can't think of one. Enjoy with a large alcoholic beverage, because, well, the sun's way past the yard arm.
Yohji Yamamoto: Ready-to-wear SS17
Yohji Yamamoto was strappy. Could we call it strapping, even? By which we mean, simply, that there were lots of straps on it. Straps are nice aren’t they? It’s reassuring to be strapped in. And could be, in some circumstances, considered
Lutz Huelle: Ready-to-wear SS17
There’s a bit of a shoulder situation going on in Lutz Huelle’s SS17 collection. A bit might actually be an understatement. There’s some shoulder going on and it’s a statement making shoulder. Which makes sense given the press notes, and
Christian Dior: Ready-to-wear SS17
We should all be feminists. That was the message of Maria Chiuri Grazia’s debut outing for the house of Christian Dior. A message that was, handily, also printed upon a t-shirt, just in case you forgot. It was a fitting
Issey Miyake: Ready-to-wear SS17
Graphic silhouettes, angular lines and geometric prints were beautifully softened with use of slouchy pleated pieces and clever use of colour - tones of powdery pinks, pale beige and minty greens and blues meant the sharp shapes were never severe.
Loewe: Ready-to-wear SS17
"Luke, I am you father". Okay, so maybe not. But that first look at Loewe's SS17 show today - that cream coloured smock thing with big puffy sleeves for some reason brings to mind Star Wars. Blame it on the early
Undercover: Ready-to-wear SS17
Jun Takahashi is feeling the jazzy vibes at Undercover SS17. Quite literally. So apparent, it was more a tribute to jazz. We sat in Hotel Salomon de Rothschild, under chandeliers as Gershwin's composed tunes, Miles Davis and Art Farmer played.
Chalayan: Ready-to-wear SS17
Hussein Chalayan is like a mad scientist. And he's been in his lab, creating the future. An army of Chalayans, genetically engineered humans. Their clothing emblematic of their station in life, each with their own program. The Chalayan machine includes
