I often say that the two qualifications for enjoying Phoebe Philo's work at the house of Céline are 1) being a woman and 2) having a pulse. However, I would like to add that, certainly amongst Ten Towers at least, there are a

Nothing says girl power like a fair medieval maiden. Which is what Alexander McQueen's latest offering is giving us. And not one of those whingy ones that need a prince to rescue them from some sort of tall tower - no, we're talking

Excuse the cliché, but Roland Mouret gets what woman want. Know that people in fashion say that often and truth is, designers rarely do - but Mr Mouret has built his whole brand on it, on this intimate understanding of women

Joel, our fashion assistant, is mad on those headscarves. They are "giving him babushka," apparently. Something about political climates and Russian women cradling children, which I don't entirely catch, but is, apparently, "very now". He's particularly taken with those frilly floral

Forgive these models for having a not-quite-there look in their eyes. Because they aren't. It's this thing that happens where you wear Proenza Schouler. Your eyes sort of glaze over and you drift off into a world where you wonder

If I were to wear a thigh-high patent boot and hang around in car park there is a high likelihood that I might, in fact, be arrested. Then again, I am not a Louis Vuitton woman, blessed of cheekbone, hair and bank account

Oh, how I worship at the temple of glamour that is Balmain, praying for the day that they find a large oil well under my parent's house and I can finally become a moneyed gentlewoman who douses herself solely in

Seen that Diana film? The one with Naomi Watts? Where she speaks like she has a large citrus fruit in her mouth, cops off with a sexy surgeon (facts dubious) and has premonitions of her own car-tunnel-based death? Well don't. It's

Unless you've been living under a rock, you may have realised at the end of last year there was a craze sweeping the nation. First there was planking, then the ice bucket challenge, but what I'm referring to is the

Frame it, hang on wall, admire. That is what we would advise doing with the above collection, Christopher Kane's Pre-Fall 2017. Because this is not just clothing, but art. Or, rather, has art upon it. Outsider art. Artists that don't

It can never be denied that Antonio Berardi is nothing if not a master of tailoring. What this man can’t do with a pair of scissors and a needle and thread doesn’t bare repeating. Think of this collection as a

There was a hippie equestrian vibe to Maria Grazia Chiuri's second outing at Dior. Think bohemian jockey, a Brothers Grimm fairytale princess form some snowy clime on a horse if you will. Theres tulle here, and velvet, embroidered with zodiac symbols

“For me, America is still the land of hope, of equal opportunities for everybody, the place where dreams can come true,” said Mr Pierpaolo Piccioli of his decision to show his Valentino Pre-Fall 2017 collection in New York, as he

There are three categories in the Givenchy pre fall collection. Classic, fashion, and urban. Three generations if you will. Think of it in terms of Dynasty. You have your Alexis, she's the classic, Fallon is the fashion which makes urban

Mr Armani has spoken and he's said colour. For Pre-Fall 2017 anyway. Because here there is but the merest hint of that signature Giorgio greige, the reigning monarch of Italian fashion instead stumping for bright hues of red, green and
