Junya Watanabe: Ready-to-wear AW17
This is making us very happy. Not that Junya Watanabe doesn’t always make us happy, in this way that is always surprising for such an early hour on a Saturday morning, but today, even more so. As Sophia declared, post
Yohji Yamamoto: Ready-to-wear AW17
Yohji Yamamoto was, as usual, generously proportioned. Had this whole scrunched up thing going on. Not quite a ruche, not quite a ruffle, more like a giant piece of fabric had been grabbed and pulled about the body, to create
Undercover: Ready-to-wear AW17
Struggling to find words to describe Undercover's AW17 show other than: breathtaking. But we will at least attempt to elaborate. You know those Christmas decorations that expand outwards into a kind of honeycomb shape? Could alternatively be used in the
Christian Dior: Ready-to-wear AW17
Had Maria Grazia Chiuri been listening to Eiffel 65? Fantasising, perhaps, about living in a blue house with a blue window and a little blue corvette? Well, not that we know of, but this, Dior's AW17 collection, was resolutely about a fascination
Balmain: Ready-to-wear AW17
Could we say that there was something of the hunter-gatherer to the Balmain woman this season? Which might seem a bit of a stretch as we all know that the Balmain lady has a gentleman, possibly several, in order to
Issey Miyake: Ready-to-wear AW17
This season, the ladies of the House of Miyake are going stargazing. That is, if you count the Aurora Borealis as a formation of stars, which you definitely shouldn’t - it’s actually electrons colliding with the upper reaches of the
Loewe: Ready-to-wear AW17
This morning began in the way that all good mornings should: in pitch black darkness. You know us, we refuse to be fully lit until at least 12pm. Thankfully though, in this case at least, the lights did come on
Ann Demeulemeester: Ready-to-wear AW17
Can’t quite decide whether this, Ann Demeulemeester's latest offering, was a wedding or a wake. Veils do tend to suggest matrimony, but the strong prevalence of black in this collection perhaps led us more down the path of lady mourner.
Chloé: Ready-to-wear AW17
I was going to badly appropriate the Spice Girls’ Goodbye here, being as this was Clare Waight Keller’s final collection for the house of Chloé, but, having Googled, realised that the lyrics are actually probably a little intense for the
Kenzo Present La Collection Memento N°1 At PFW
Last night and another fabulous dinner, this time thanks to Kenzo, who threw open the doors to their HQ and put on a spread by Syrian-born chef Mohammad El Khaldy. God, it's exhausting being us. And what was our dinnertime entertainment?
Wanda Nylon: Ready-to-wear AW17
Well, we’ve gabbed on about accessories all day, so why stop now? Let’s talk berets. Berets at Wanda Nylon, to be specific. She had all the varieties. White, badge-covered, leather, jumbo houndstooth, cow print, fluffy. Call it a pick ’n’ mix
Lanvin: Ready-to-wear AW17
We begin, once again, with accessories. This time, we’re at Lanvin and we’re talking shoes. Obviously. We’re self-proclaimed shoe pigs. Here, they were flat. Which, being of the school of Sophia Neophitou, the higher the heels, the closer to God,
Dries Van Noten: Ready-to-wear AW17
Sophia says this was amazing. We say this was amazing. Not that we don’t always say that Dries Van Noten is amazing, because it is, but today was especially amazing. Because this was Dries’ 100th show. So how better to
Maison Margiela: Ready-to-wear AW17
You might think that there is only one way of carrying a handbag, that being, as the name would suggest, in your hand. You would be wrong. Because, as of this morning, John Galliano, via Look 5 of his Maison
Watch Balmain’s AW17 Show At 2pm GMT
You could, like the rest of the fashion masses, board the Eurostar to Paris, or you could, instead, turn on your computer and watch Balmain's AW17 show from the comfort of your own home. And, since your reading this, you
