We like a quote. It sets the scene. Lina Bo Bardi, Brazilian-born architect and inspiration behind Max Mara's SS17 show, said: "Architecture is created 'invented anew' by each man who attempts her, who roams her space and makes intimate contact

Sometimes we find ourselves waking up unexpectedly overcome with the urge to make an effort. A little extra. We’re sure you can relate - when you feel the need to present yourself in a way that portrays your uplifting random

This is Planet Plein. A place where men with airbrushed abs wash cars, kids run around in sunglasses (disturbingly cute) and models walk on by in seriously embellished leather jackets. This was the kind of place where people would bake

Urban infant terribles. That was the theme for Francesco Scognamiglio’s SS17 show last night. Or, to put it another way, think “21st century neo-renaissance in a blend of magic spells and embroidery”, but don’t expect this to turn into some

Do you know the song La Vie Boheme from the musical Rent? No? Not a gay man born in the mid-eighties? Well this, Peter Dundas's SS17 collection for Roberto Cavalli, was like that. Well, except it wasn't about New York, or

Alessandro Dell'Acqua's No 21 girls came down that runway charged up with a new found power, almost as if they were plugged into Dell'Acqua's own personal energy circuit. Apparently it's this "new-woman" thinking. They're in charge. This is the kind of

Relax, take a deep breath in and let it all out. Welcome to Alessandro Michele's phantasmagoric freak show. Here we sit in a state suspended somewhere in between reality and fantasy, teleported full throttle into the Gucci dimension. A new

There was something rather whimsical about the Isa Arfen presentation. Set against a backdrop of a dilapidated attic models acted out little scenes while dressed in the SS17 collection. Think of it almost like a a play, with the girls at

There’s a motorcycle theme to Belstaff’s latest collection. Isn’t there always? Well they are a brand known for their riding leathers so it really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. This season, to quote from the press release, because

She’s a nomad this season, the Joseph woman. Trekking down that long runway, everything she owns on her back. To quote from the press release this is a “personal uniform for the Joseph tribe as it travels across the urban

"It's weird how we start with these random ideas of collages of vintage negliges with vintage basketball t-shirts and tulle sleeves hanging on our wall and then punkish references and then Baroque and then skaters but its only really when

See these as a selection of Dame Viv's favourite things. Because that's what they are, as well being her brand new SS17 collection. This, apparently, started with tailoring. So far, so Viv. And there was something unisex about the cut

We will begin this by quoting a poem. A poem, that also, in this case, doubled as a press release. "If anyone asks you, how the perfect satisfaction, of all of our sexual wanting, will look, lift your face, and say, like

The theme of MM6 Maison Margiela's London presentation was "hugs and kisses," apparently. Unfortunately, however (though not actually demonstrated in this particular set of images), the collection was displayed upon mannequins. So no hugging and kissing. Getting intimate with inanimate objects, as
