Giorgio Armani: Ready-to-wear SS17
Mr Armani's ladies are women with a purpose. And so they moved with ease. "Charmani" was the title of the Giorgio Armani SS17 collection. Like a great power couple, Charm and Armani. And so we sat in the Armani theatre
Diesel Black Gold: Ready-to-wear SS17
"We are the DBG army. Focus on feeling each step. Cool confident strong." Those were the rules for the Diesel Black Gold girls backstage. And so the troops came out, swaggering down the runway. Andreas Melbostad's pre show lowdown went like
Moschino: Ready-to-wear SS17
Admission. When I was younger I was mildly obsessed with a paper doll website. If you know, you know. If you don't, it's probably best not to get into this matter much further and say only that this, Moschino's SS17 show,
Byblos: Ready-to-wear SS17
Yellow. Are we sniffing a Milanese theme? Because there was lots of the colour here, the latest offering from Manuel Facchini's Byblos. A symphony of the stuff. There was lemon yellow, a darker, almost mustard shade, flashes of something brighter.
Emilio Pucci: Ready-to-wear SS17
A grey space for Emilio Pucci SS17. Lit with harsh industrial lights. And then appearing around the corner a flash of colour. Yellow to be specific. The kind of yellow you’d expect to find under your chin if you held a
Ports 1961: Ready-to-wear SS17
An explosion of stripes, a celebration of colour. Well there really is no other way to sum up today’s Port’s 1961 show. A rainbow of stripes? Works too I suppose. At least three quarters of the collection was riddled with
Wunderkind: Ready-to-wear SS17
Is there anything better than a debut? Like a fresh, unspoilt white sheet. Or something. I know, I know, this isn't a debut in the usual sense. But, it was Wunderkind's debut show in the fair city on Milano. And, in talk
Prada: Ready-to-wear SS17
"Women. I decided that they want to take care of now and the present and do something much more simple. Trying to find a new elegance. elegance sounds like an old fashioned word
Fendi: Ready-to-wear SS17
Karl Lagerfeld knows what we want and when we want it. Period. Today we want to go back to the late super baroque 18th century, time travel now, yes because it's Karl and Karl does Baroque. And so the Fendi fairytale
Max Mara: Ready-to-wear SS17
We like a quote. It sets the scene. Lina Bo Bardi, Brazilian-born architect and inspiration behind Max Mara's SS17 show, said: "Architecture is created 'invented anew' by each man who attempts her, who roams her space and makes intimate contact
Brunello Cucinelli: Ready-to-wear SS17
Sometimes we find ourselves waking up unexpectedly overcome with the urge to make an effort. A little extra. We’re sure you can relate - when you feel the need to present yourself in a way that portrays your uplifting random
Philipp Plein: Ready-to-wear SS17
This is Planet Plein. A place where men with airbrushed abs wash cars, kids run around in sunglasses (disturbingly cute) and models walk on by in seriously embellished leather jackets. This was the kind of place where people would bake
Francesco Scognamiglio: Ready-to-wear SS17
Urban infant terribles. That was the theme for Francesco Scognamiglio’s SS17 show last night. Or, to put it another way, think “21st century neo-renaissance in a blend of magic spells and embroidery”, but don’t expect this to turn into some
Roberto Cavalli: Ready-to-wear SS17
Do you know the song La Vie Boheme from the musical Rent? No? Not a gay man born in the mid-eighties? Well this, Peter Dundas's SS17 collection for Roberto Cavalli, was like that. Well, except it wasn't about New York, or
Fausto Puglisi: Ready-to-wear SS17
It was a little Madonna. Like A Prayer, Madonna. Mixed with Lady Gaga's Judas. Two things people might say should never be mixed, but if anyone can do it, Fausto Puglisi can. For SS17 he decided to take you to
