The word shoe rhymes quite well with the word “faboo,” an abbreviation of “fabulous” to be uttered when something is quite so fabulous the breath is literally extracted from your body like a dehumidifier sucking moisture out of the damp

Sequins and spots, checks and pleats, ruffles, bows, Antonio Lopez and the crazy, multi-patterned ceramics of the artist Betty Woodman. All were joyously, chaotically meshed together in Massimo Giorgetti’s MSGM collection. He called it “Interlude,” which made us think of

Fashion is kind of a fairytale - you put on a beautiful dress, and become transformed. Then you kiss a prince and live happily ever after. Oh wait, that’s Kate Middleton’s wedding. But anyway. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were

Sleeves are huge at Marni. Literally and ideologically. They tended to balloon below the elbow, like a reversed leg-of-mutton, which sounds a bit like a dog yoga move but is actually a sleeve that poufs about the forearm and makes

Mr Philipp Plein doesn’t believe in doing things by halves. You remember those spectacular nineties shows packed with pyrotechnics and supermodels? Well, add in some monster trucks and a live musical performance each season, and you’ll get the backdrop Philipp

Ports 1961 creative director Natasa Cagalj made her catwalk debut after a couple of seasons presenting quietly in the company’s showroom. A London trained Central Saint Martins graduate, she made a splash with a sleek sense of the minimal, keyed

Energetic, active, in control - that was Donatella Versace’s summary of her winter 2016 show, where models marched around a circular, circuitous catwalk for three minutes each (we timed them) showing off The Don’s latest wares. What wares did they

Arthur Arbesser’s hitting his stride at Iceberg. After an assured debut that underlined the themes of the label, Arbesser decided to stretch his wings, focussing on the knits that formed the basis of the label’s success in the seventies, but

We love tiles at Ten. We all have bathrooms, after all, and kitchens, unlike one fashion writer who, Carrie Bradshaw style, spends the kitchen cash on clothes rather than new, much-needed work surfaces. But anyway. There were tiles at Sportmax

“New pop” was Mr Armani’s title for his latest Emporio Armani collection. I’m sure he wasn’t thinking about Kylie Minogue, nor about coca-cola, nor about Pringles (once they pop, you can’t stop). But maybe he was thinking a bit about

The fantastically talented musical maestro Michel Gaubert - whom you probably already follow on Instagram, like anyone else even remotely interested in fashion - soundtracked the latest Diesel Black Gold autumn/winter show with the Gattaca theme-tune. It perfectly underscored (no
