Jean Paul Gaultier: Couture SS17
This afternoon, Monsieur Gaultier proposed a novel new mode of transport. That being carted (quite literally) in a wheelbarrow by a hunky dungaree-clad hick, whilst dressed in top-to-couture. As Coco Rocha ably demonstrated on the runway of Jean Paul Gaultier's
Valentino: Couture SS17
At this point in the proceedings, we start to lose the ability to formulate sentences and instead just gawp silently in delight. So excuse us if this is a little disjointed. We’ll start by calling this a Valentino flight of
Elie Saab: Couture SS17
We’re easily pleased, us. Throw a bucketload of sparkling things in our general direction and we’ll probably end up having some sort of pleasure-based seizure in which our eyes roll into the back of our head and passersby check that
Maison Margiela: Couture SS17
Would it be wrong to say that this season's Maison Margiela Artisanal collection was a little Great Gatsby? Not because this was 1920s glamour, per se, but rather, because of the faces that stared back at us. Faces on jackets,
Armani Privé: Couture SS17

Schiaparelli: Couture SS17
If the Village People, or, for that matter, the Pet Shop Boys, had not gone west, but east, then they probably would have ended up somewhere around here. Because Schiaparelli’s SS17 Haute Couture offering, their first since becoming an official
Giambattista Valli: Couture SS17
It wouldn’t be a Giambattista Valli couture show without a large explosion of tulle. And there was plenty of that here, mostly in the form of a breathtaking yellow gown which was, we reckon, about the size of the average London
Dior: Couture SS17
It might only be her second runway sashay but in the four short months since she made her SS17 ready-to-wear debut, Maria Grazia Chiuri has made the house of Dior very much her own. Do you remember what came before?
Iris Van Herpen: Couture SS17
Made from processes we can’t quite understand (3D hand-casted PU fabrics and hand painted injection moulding? Huh?) so, with no time for a quick Wiki-tutorial, we shall instead enjoy Iris Van Herpen's latest offering in a purely aesthetic way. Because
