CHURCH’S: THE OLIVIA
London Fashion Week is upon us, and we felt it only right to point out that it’s a hard time for us fashion folk… Between being transported from show to show in the Team 10 BFC Mercedes there is a
Live Stream: Calvin Klein AW16
Oh baby it’s cold outside. So cold outside in that why would you brave the elements to watch the latest fashions from the fair hand of Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein Collection, when instead you snuggle up under an electric
Proenza Schouler: Ready-to-wear AW16
Proenza Schouler showed at the Whitney Museum for the second time this season – last winter, they closed down the old Whitney uptown; for autumn/winter 2016, they sort of inaugurated the new downtown one. If you were hoping for Whitney
DKNY: Ready-to-wear AW16
Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne are streetwise and street-smart. They’re also just plain smart, as evinced by their second collection for DKNY, where the designers ditched the office overtones of their debut and went in for the streetwear kill. The collection was focused
BOSS: Ready-to-wear AW16
Jason Wu, Boss’ artistic director and the man responsible for the brand’s upward trajectory (and red carpet visibility) of late was obsessed with two things this season: swerving lines, and surfaces. There was lots of other ideas in his Boss
Nicopanda: Ready-to-wear AW16
Lolita meets NoLita meets Health Goth meets crystal-crusted, bomber-jacketed flatform-trainered clubkid at Nicopanda. And the rest. That mix is quintessentially Nicola Formichetti – high with low with left-of-field, as smooshed up with glitter thrown on top. He’s constantly inspired by
Michael Kors: Ready-to-wear AW16
“Instaglam”. What a great summary for the Michael Kors Collection collection (that’s not a typo, it’s called that but it’s a collection too). We guess what Mr Kors was getting at was the fact that everyone would want to take
Fendi: Jungle Eyewear Collection
Heavy night? Paying for it today? If, like me, you felt like you'd been dug up this morning. Then maybe, like me, you needed to wear sunglasses to work today. "But where is the sun?!" you ask. Well it's not out,
Narciso Rodriguez: Ready-to-wear AW16
It’s tough to make the simple look intriguing. But that’s Narciso Rodriguez’s whole shtick, and he makes a compelling argument for less is more season after season. Next time around, his women will be falling over themselves to pin down
Oscar de La Renta: Ready-to-wear AW16
Peter Copping moved Oscar de la Renta, for the second season running, out of the rarefied penthouse studio of Mr de la Renta and into a ball room on 28th street. Metaphorically - and physically - he’s bringing the label
Coach: Ready-to-wear AW16
Rob Lowe in “Young Blood” - clad in his ice hockey finest - was pinned up as inspiration for Stuart Vevers’ autumn/winter 2016 Coach collection. He opened his show with a riff on Rob, patched varsity jackets slung per brief
Rodarte: Ready-to-wear AW16
Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte are, quietly, some of the coolest designers in New York. Kirsten Dunst was in the audience for their winter show - she pretty much always is, and is apparently starring in a movie the
Vera Wang: Ready-to-wear AW16
“Mad for Modigliani” said Vera Wang - via her autumn/winter 2016 show notes, not in person. “Glorious Giacometti. Long. Lean. Lithe.” Those were all words that sprang to mind when watching her show. Well, not Modigliani or Giacometti, to be
Tory Burch: Ready-to-wear AW16
Tory Burch had horses when she was a young girl. Of course she did. There’s something thoroughbred and sleek and speedy about her clothes, just like the aforementioned cross between animal and transportation. And she closed her winter 2016 shows
Rag & Bone: Ready-to-wear AW16
A live band pumped out music for Rag & Bone’s autumn/winter 2016 show - but if there’s any band you want to be with, it’s David Neville and Marcus Wainwright’s R&B. How come? because the Bone brand merch is better
