Roksanda: Ready-to-wear AW17
A beautiful opening to Roksanda’s AW17 collection - a long blue dress with matching belt and boots. And not just any blue, but the blue that Pantone created, alongside his friends and collaborators, to celebrate the life of the late, great Richard
Antonio Berardi: Ready-to-wear AW17
Antonio Berardi's AW17 show this morning began with, as is tradition, a quote. This time, by John. F. Kennedy. “The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities.
Peter Pilotto: Ready-to-wear AW17
Palm Court at the fabulous Waldorf Hotel was the location for Peter Pilotto AW17, setting the scene for a luxurious collection. As the ladies waltzed around us, we could imagine them being ladies of leisure gliding out to some sort of hobby
Preen by Thornton Bregazzi: Ready-to-wear AW17
Time for more peeking at the press notes. Illustrated on the back of the Preen by Thornton Bregazzi was a stack of books. Books of feminist artists the likes of Sarah Lucas, Tracey Emin and Carol Ann Duffy. Although she's
Anya Hindmarch: Ready-to-wear AW17
An icy landscape set the scene for Anya Hindmarch's AW17 collection. Think: the iceberg that sank the Titanic. And, like both the iceberg and Titanic itself, the show was of gargantuan size. This season our lady was on a journey - a literal
Mary Katrantzou: Ready-to-wear AW17
Mary Katrantzou was Disney. Not in any sickly sweet sense - no pouffy dresses or sleeping ladies here - rather, the film Fantasia. You remember, the one with hippos doing twirls, pipe-playing horned cherubs and little mushrooms dancing. A bit like
Mulberry: Ready-to-wear AW17
What, exactly, does it look like to wear a duvet cover? Or, more specifically, the duvet itself? Maybe it's more like one of those things they put over then beds in hotels. That was the question proposed, and also answered, at
Topshop Unique: Ready-to-wear AW17
"She's never been here before. She's intrigued, searching for more," so begins the press release for this afternoon's AW17 Topshop Unique show. Think of her as a bit of a traveller. Experiencing feelings of "euphoric freedom," apparently. But what about the
Roland Mouret: Ready-to-wear AW17
A national theatre for a national treasure. Okay, yes, we know that Roland Mouret isn't technically ours, being that he is a Frenchman (making him, in fact, our most favourite Frenchman) but he has long called London home. And London
Margaret Howell Show Their AW17 Men’s And Womenswear At LFW
Dominic liked the look with the corduroy at Margaret Howell's AW17 show this morning. It was a two-set - jacket, slightly wide and boxy on the shoulders, the trousers cropped at the ankle. And, talking of the ankle, could we say it
Emilia Wickstead: Ready-to-wear AW17
"Flats are having a bit of a moment this season" said Jack after Emilia Wickstead's AW17 show. And he's not wrong there. Flats here, there, everywhere. Which may lead you to the conclusion that Emilia Wickstead was not sexy. But flats
Ports 1961: Ready-to-wear AW17
A homecoming for Nataša Čagalj and her design team (who all studied at Central Saint Martins) for Ports 1961's AW17 collection. Literally and metaphorically. Not homecoming as in American high school with cheerleaders and such. More like coming home. Perhaps after
Ryan Lo: Ready-to-wear AW17
Valentine's Day has been and gone, but we were reliving it all over again at Ryan Lo. His message for AW17? "Yes, all we're looking for is LOVE from someone else!" He's not wrong there. He showed that love in
Versus Versace Show Their AW17 Men’s And Women’s Collections In London
Call this a Hadid sandwich. One super sister opened (Gigi), the other closed (Bella). And in between? Well that would be a collection of other young supers bedecked in the AW17 Versus Versace collection. I mean who else but Donatella herself could
House of Holland: Ready-to-wear AW17
The sweet Southern sounds of Miley Cyrus moseyed into our ears as we entered the set for House of Holland. Which made sense. As the press notes said, this seasons girl has a "hip hop attitude with a country heart"
