The Pringle girl knows how to dress for British summer time. Well, Scottish. She knows never leave the house without layers. And today, there were layers a-plenty, as the brand’s Womenswear Design Director, Fran Stringer took us on a bracing hike through

Do you think that Erdem's been rewatching Titanic lately? Stand on the helm of a ship singing My Heart Will Go On? Longing to be painted like one of Jack’s French girls? I think it’s safe to assume, probably not. But

The starting point for any Antonio Berardi collection, and the first line of the press release is always a quote. This time it came from Leonardo da Vinci, "art is never finished, only abandoned". Think of this collection as a kind

Remember Baby's sister in Dirty Dancing, when she sang the Hula Hana song for that end of summer pageant? Well this had a hint of that about Peter Pilotto. It felt Hawaiian. Hawaiian crossed with Princess Leia, in that gold

David Koma's SS17 show was about eggs. Russian eggs. As in, Faberge eggs, rather than the food stuff. It was actually about Russia in general, Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. Think: Anastacia, he Imperial family, Tsarinas frolicking

Things have, politically speaking anyway, been a bit shit recently. So that's what Phoebe English's focussed on for her SS17 presentation. But this wasn't about wallowing - nope, the collection - a tight seven looks - was instead a way to

There was a photo of a pile of books on the back of the Preen press release, Potions & Spells, The Incidental Tarot, Skinhead, Creep Girls are the Cutest, which should give you a pretty good indication of what this

Did you know that Surrey Quays, where Mulberry their show was the birth place of Jade Goody? Us neither. Anyway, enough of the random trivia, how best to describe Johnny Coca's second outing for house? Allow us to quote directly from

This season, Mary Katrantzou asked the question Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters first asked themselves in 1960-something, have you passed the acid test? Which considering that that this was a Grecian odyssey via 1960-thing the answer would be yes. The Grecian influence

There's always some sort of crazy production at an Anya Hindmarch show. This time it came in the form of a rising circular roof that when raised revealed an underground spiral walkway, in bright, optic white, not dissimilar to the

There's always a sense of permanent vacation to a Margaret Howell collection, if that makes sense. The clothes are relaxed, the models move so languidly, it's just very peaceful and serene. This time she presented what we will describe as a

We would describe Palmer//Harding's SS17 show yesterday, if it were not the catchphrase of a major American cosmetics brand, as easy, breezy, beautiful. Palmer//Harding have always been good at a nice shirt, their speciality, if you will - and they

"It's time to enter the next phase of the Versus experience". Or so the voiceover boomed in what I would like to describe as sexy sounding Prince voice over fashion. You know that husky, ever so slightly breathless with excitement
