Zac Posen: Ready-to-wear AW16
Zac Posen is a designer in the old-fashioned sense. Meaning he genuinely designs his clothes - they’re the product of painstaking cutting and fitting, elaborate workmanship and embellishment, a link to the tradition of Seventh Avenue couture. For winter, Posen
3.1 Phillip Lim: Ready-to-wear AW16
Beefy tweeds, quilted nylons, a acid-yellow and khaki palette, and touch of panne velvet. Those were the unexpected components of today’s 3.1 Phillip Lim show for autumn/winter 2016 - they wound their way around the models’ bodies in myriad convoluted
Thom Browne: Ready-to-wear AW16
A tornado of tailoring was the rough feel at Thom Browne: every look contained a coat, of some description - even the bride, who wore an organza jacket around her legs and on her head as a veil, a bit
Jeremy Scott: Ready-to-wear AW16
The acrid smell of hairspray stung your nostrils at Jeremy Scott - how else could you get those B-52 beehives to defy gravity so consistently than with an entire can of Elnett on each and every bounce? Jeremy Scott was
Tommy Hilfiger: Ready-to-wear AW16
Ever seen HMS Pinafore? We reckon Tommy Hilfiger has - although his versions, otherwise known as his autumn/winter 2016 show, was soundtracked by the Jackson five and dresses up in forties sequined tea-dresses, sweeping navy pea coats and officer’s capes,
Prabal Gurung: Ready-to-wear AW16
Prabal Gurung loves a polished girl. A girl in lace and ball gowns and fur and silk and chiffon. All that kind of stuff. He's not really a fan of the down and dirty, denim or leathers or anything like
Opening Ceremony: Ready-to-Wear AW16
Tron meets Blade Runner. Yes and yes. Those were the cited inspos for Carol Lim and Humberto Leon's Opening Ceremony collection, devoted to a future fantastic vision but actually rooted firmly in the not-too-distant past. Retro futurism was the mood, slick silhouettes
Diane von Furstenberg: Ready-to-wear AW16
Have you ever seen The Eyes of Laura Mars, a brilliant movie with Faye Dunaway as a smashing seventies fashion photographer and all her pictures actually done by Newton? All the best bits of DVF are a bit like that
Hood by Air: Ready-to-wear AW16
Shayne Oliver is a disrupter on the New York fashion week schedule. He called his autumn/winter Hood By Air show “Pilgrimage” and showed models wrapped in slit duffle bags sewn together as coats, or wrapped in that airport plastic they
Derek Lam: Ready-to-wear AW16
Derek Lam loves the seventies. Who doesn’t? Especially we at 10, gorged on gorgeous glamour, Jerry Hall with her hair caked in Elnett and conducting static electricity in a lovely lurex bit of Yves Saint Laurent and fairly reeking of
Public School: Ready-to-wear AW16
Maxwell Osborne and Dao-Yi Chow of Public School are a couple of the hardest-working men in fashion: they’ve got a DKNY show coming up, they showed their Public School menswear last week and - oh, yeah, the autumn/winter 2016 womenswear
Victoria Beckham: Ready-to-wear AW16
We love a corset. So does Victoria Beckham. She based her whole autumn/winter 2016 show around them, harking back to the dresses that she started her career with but injecting them with a bit of ease. Maybe that reflects the
Altuzarra: Ready-to-wear AW16
The chic vampires of “Only Lovers Left Alive” were Joseph Altuzarra’s unexpected inspiration. Wait, actually, vampires have always been chic. Think of Catherine Deneuve in The Hunger, sucking the life out of her prey in Alain Mikli sunglasses and Azzedine
Alexander Wang: Ready-to-wear AW16
Alexander Wang is always down with the kids - there are a few kids here at 10 Towers, and we know they’d love to wear Wang’s wares. This season his collection was shown in a church, but if the models
Lacoste: Ready-to-wear AW16
James Bond meets Sixties Olympians meets Belle De Jour dressed up in crocodile - except, not the skin. That was the mad mix behind Felipe Oliveira Baptista’s latest Lacoste show - which, oddly enough, all wound up making perfect sense.
