Margaret Howell: Ready-to-Wear SS18
More riffs on Britishness at Margaret Howell. It's the fashion equivalent of a warm bath - you always sort of know what you're getting, but it doesn’t make it any less pleasurable. Plenty to like here. A nice silhouette. There
Emporio Armani: Ready-to-Wear SS18
Stream these films immediately: Mystic Pizza, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink. Tragi-excellent American high school films celebrating simpler times, where girls dressed up in shiny hi-tops and bombers to flirt with boys in sporty cars. More of this later. Mr Giorgio Armani is
Topshop: Ready-to-wear SS18
In no particular order: Soho, nightclub, marabou, bustier, supermodel. So far, so us. Now, we could delve deeper into the inspiration - Corinne Day, Madame Jojo's, Revuebar, the days before Instagram - but, quite frankly, all you really need to
Versus Versace: Ready-to-Wear SS18
A distinct whiff of cowboy at Versus Versace today. Cowboys at the beach? How else to explain the appearance of a speedo with “VERSUS” spelt out in diamante on the behind? If anyone can get away with it, it’s Donatella. The lady
Mary Katrantzou: Ready-to-Wear SS18
Few women (or men, for that matter) could convince us to raise ourselves from a state best described as “recently deceased” and haul ourselves to central London of a Sunday morning, but luckily, Mary Katrantzou happens to be one of them. I’m

House of Holland: Ready-to-wear SS18
Don't tell us off for starting with a quote from the release again, they really can say it better than we - case in point, Henry's latest House of Holland notes, which began by calling the girls: "seductive swashbuckling sirens." Very
Richard Quinn Shows A Special Collection At Liberty
La Neophitou loved. *Lurrrved* "Get it up everywhere, gorge," she phoned into HQ this AM. And it was very good. Richard Quinn's a fine young talent, you see - the CSM-grad taking maximal, couture like shapes and warping them to
Molly Goddard: Ready-to-wear SS18
The Molly Goddard girl is just like us this season - namely, she may or may not have a drinking problem. The doctor’s told her that she's drinking too much, or so the story, direct from la release, goes. Now
Ports 1961: Ready-to-wear SS18
Find a full-length mirror immediately: look into it, look at your clothes. Think: am I happy with what I'm wearing? Am I happy with my wardrobe in general: does it work? Moreover does it work *hard enough*. To ascend to those
Fashion East: Ready-to-wear SS18
Mama Lulu's latest crop of fashion hot shots showed their wares on Charing Cross road this morning. First up, Supriya Lele. I want to call this trash to treasure. Not that there was any actual trash, per se, rather the
Burberry’s September 2017 Collection Celebrates Britain’s Tribes
Question: is there anything more British than Burberry? Apart from maybe a crumpet. It’s very British. Burberry is also posh. And definitely still is posh. But this time, a little less posh. Not in the quality, don’t get us wrong
Simone Rocha: Ready-to-wear SS18
Simone Rocha's shows are always accompanied by a crib sheet of notes that break down the show into easily digestible pieces. Which is nice. Red dolls. Suspended weight. Hand-painted flowers. Silk tulle. Collapsing frills. Comfort. Fragility. Made by hands. They spoke
J.W.Anderson: Ready-to-wear SS18
The problem, the really big problem and worry and the thing that keeps a designer up at night is what's next? And the pressure is certainly on for somebody like J.W.Anderson. He is expected - every season - to rethink
