TEN MINUTES: Of Pre-Fashion Month Anxiety

Sonia Rykiel’s Paris Inspired AW16 Campaign

Upon entering the grand Stazione Leopolda for Raf Simons SS17 show in Florence, it felt as if we’d just fallen into a warehouse party. Among the low lighting, loud music and very excitable fashion folk were a scattering of previous
Gosha Rubchinskiy: Menswear SS17
Gosha Rubchinskiy chose to show his SS17 collection at Manifattura Tabacchi in Florence, the first time as part of Pitti Uomo. A bleak, brutalist outdoor space that was a tobacco factory in a past life. Lots of concrete. Basically, a

The Look: Christian Dior AW16

The Beauty Scan: Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Ginestra
There is not a human on earth who does not enjoy the scent of fresh flowers. A human that does not enjoy the scent of flowers would have to be deranged with a heart of coal, in fact. As Natalie
The Look: Antonio Berardi AW16
As the age-old saying goes, 'A man has no better tools than his own hands'. Apparently, this is not an age-old saying. Nor is it a modern day saying. In fact, it is not a saying at all, I’m told.
