Fendi: Ready-to-wear AW17
This might be crass, and you know how we hate to appear so in front of Fendi, but would it be appropriate to evoke the lyrics of Ludacris, and his song Nasty Girl, in reference to the Italian house's AW17
NO 21: Ready-to-wear AW17
Would it be so wrong to say that Alessandro Dell'Acqua was inspired by Chaka Khan this season for NO 21? Not in the sense that it was 80s, or even disco, but more in the sense of she was every
Gucci Show Their AW17 Men’s and Women’s Collections at MFW
It began in what looked a bit like a theatre, erected in Gucci's brand new office just outside of the city. A large purple curtain usually suggests so. Were we to be treated to some sort of performance? Not as
Victoria, Victoria Beckham: Ready-to-wear AW17
It's no secret that Victoria Beckham has been slowly moving away from the polite, figure-hugging feminine skirts and dresses that dominated her early collections. A fact I can attest to, having attended her AW17 Victoria, Victoria Beckham presentation at the Ritz yesterday.
Peter Pilotto: Ready-to-wear AW17
Palm Court at the fabulous Waldorf Hotel was the location for Peter Pilotto AW17, setting the scene for a luxurious collection. As the ladies waltzed around us, we could imagine them being ladies of leisure gliding out to some sort of hobby
Preen by Thornton Bregazzi: Ready-to-wear AW17
Time for more peeking at the press notes. Illustrated on the back of the Preen by Thornton Bregazzi was a stack of books. Books of feminist artists the likes of Sarah Lucas, Tracey Emin and Carol Ann Duffy. Although she's
Anya Hindmarch: Ready-to-wear AW17
An icy landscape set the scene for Anya Hindmarch's AW17 collection. Think: the iceberg that sank the Titanic. And, like both the iceberg and Titanic itself, the show was of gargantuan size. This season our lady was on a journey - a literal
Mary Katrantzou: Ready-to-wear AW17
Mary Katrantzou was Disney. Not in any sickly sweet sense - no pouffy dresses or sleeping ladies here - rather, the film Fantasia. You remember, the one with hippos doing twirls, pipe-playing horned cherubs and little mushrooms dancing. A bit like
Mulberry: Ready-to-wear AW17
What, exactly, does it look like to wear a duvet cover? Or, more specifically, the duvet itself? Maybe it's more like one of those things they put over then beds in hotels. That was the question proposed, and also answered, at
Topshop Unique: Ready-to-wear AW17
"She's never been here before. She's intrigued, searching for more," so begins the press release for this afternoon's AW17 Topshop Unique show. Think of her as a bit of a traveller. Experiencing feelings of "euphoric freedom," apparently. But what about the
Roland Mouret: Ready-to-wear AW17
A national theatre for a national treasure. Okay, yes, we know that Roland Mouret isn't technically ours, being that he is a Frenchman (making him, in fact, our most favourite Frenchman) but he has long called London home. And London
Margaret Howell Show Their AW17 Men’s And Womenswear At LFW
Dominic liked the look with the corduroy at Margaret Howell's AW17 show this morning. It was a two-set - jacket, slightly wide and boxy on the shoulders, the trousers cropped at the ankle. And, talking of the ankle, could we say it
Emilia Wickstead: Ready-to-wear AW17
"Flats are having a bit of a moment this season" said Jack after Emilia Wickstead's AW17 show. And he's not wrong there. Flats here, there, everywhere. Which may lead you to the conclusion that Emilia Wickstead was not sexy. But flats
Ports 1961: Ready-to-wear AW17
A homecoming for Nataša Čagalj and her design team (who all studied at Central Saint Martins) for Ports 1961's AW17 collection. Literally and metaphorically. Not homecoming as in American high school with cheerleaders and such. More like coming home. Perhaps after
Versus Versace Show Their AW17 Men’s And Women’s Collections In London
Call this a Hadid sandwich. One super sister opened (Gigi), the other closed (Bella). And in between? Well that would be a collection of other young supers bedecked in the AW17 Versus Versace collection. I mean who else but Donatella herself could
