RIP Carla Fendi
Sad news comes from Rome this morning - Carla Fendi, honourary president of the Fendi company, has passed away aged 79. Pictured centre in 1987, Carla was one of the five Fendi sisters who, beginning in the 1950s, built Fendi from
Palm Angels Show A Surf-Inspired SS18 Collection In Milan
There’s something of the watersports to this. Wetsuits and the like. Body-clinging scuba tops that zipped all the way down the front, a couple of gold lame bodysuits, foamy velcro sandals. Which, admittedly, all sounds quite beach party. But it
No 21: Menswear SS18
This was fresh. Like mint. Or sucking on a lime. It began with a big, optic white shirt and slinky little shorts, also white. Shorts that were short by name, and very short by nature - compounding the necessity to
Christopher Shannon Launches His Very First Perfume
Christopher Shannon's gone and made his very first bottle of Eau de Parf and it's based on the smells of his childhood. Which got us to thinking: which of our pre-pubescent scents would make it into our very own debut fragrances? The
Fendi: Menswear SS18
True fact - those pesky powers that be at Ten Towers have recently implemented a “shorts ban”. Our legs must be fully trousered at all times. Entirely sure that this flouts some sort of labour law. Considering legal action. That
Giorgio Armani: Menswear SS18
The backdrop to Giorgio Armani's SS18 show, held this morning in the house’s stadium-style Teatro, was a screen, a screen of three simple words: Made In Armani. A statement that, apart from the obvious (that this was an Armani show,
Ralph Lauren Purple Label: Menswear SS18
Let's call this a collection of compromise. Of hybrid forms. Yes, the formalwear is classic, but it's reinvented here in a way that, to quote the press release because they put it better than us, exudes a "relaxed elegance" and is
DSquared2: Menswear SS18
Sometimes, after a long day, you just need a DSquared2 show. I want to say it’s because you know what you are getting, but I don’t quite mean that, because that sounds like I’m trying to say that the clothes are the
Prada: Menswear SS18
Always get the minor sweats about writing about a Prada show. I mean, how can my words sufficiently convey Mama Miuccia’s vision? So let’s start with: it was a really very good show. Which I know - stating the bleeding
MSGM: Menswear SS18
MSGM. It’s a wake-up call. It always feels very young, clothes for boys that don’t take themselves too seriously. And always on the brighter side of the spectrum. Plenty of prints too. This morning, MSGM-flavoured logo-mania and a t-shirt that
We’re Live Streaming Giorgio Armani’s SS18 Show At 11am GMT
Giorgio Armani's menswear in Milan - it's a must. As Italian as a pizza with pasta on top. So, if you are feeling slightly delicate after a weekend of sun-soaked debauchery, replenish those electrolytes with a dose of Giorgio - streaming here at
Marcelo Burlon County Of Milan: Menswear SS18
Let’s begin with the press release. We always find that’s a good place to start. “Travellers: explorers of antithetic iconographies, building their own appearance as they collect bits, assembling fragments into new wholes as they go along, editing cultures is
Neil Barrett Shows His SS18 Men’s And Womenswear In Milan
Fashion loves mining the 90s for those grunge-y, Kurt Cobain references, less so for the minimalism that also came up in the era. But it was the latter that Neil Barrett said was behind his SS18 collection, the third part
Versace: Menswear SS18
Always look forward to a Versace show. They are deliciously OTT, of course, but full of clothes for boys to actually wear, which sounds quite obvious but sometimes designers miss that part out. There’s always something of a theme with
Marni: Menswear SS18
Nice seats at Marni. Coloured leather, v chic. Nice collection, too. Mr Risso’s pared it back a bit from his debut, which is no bad thing. And that paring back, the not throwing every single idea into a collection at
