Mary Katrantzou: Ready-to-Wear SS18
Few women (or men, for that matter) could convince us to raise ourselves from a state best described as “recently deceased” and haul ourselves to central London of a Sunday morning, but luckily, Mary Katrantzou happens to be one of them. I’m
Richard Malone: Ready-to-wear SS18
Supermarket shades. That's the way Irish designer Richard Malone described the colour palette for his SS18 show this morning, our first of London Fashion Week. Which meant lots of blue. Tesco blue, and something a little paler, the two coming together in
Michael Kors: Ready-to-Wear SS18
Easy glamour. Glamour is fabulous. Tie-dyed sweater dresses, wide-leg pants printed with palm fronds, floaty bits of chiffon, slouchy jumpers, lua-girl leis. All that stuff. "Manhattan to Malibu
Marc Jacobs: Ready-to-Wear SS18
This was beyond. Which is kind of stating the obvious, we suppose, because it's Marc Jacobs and isn't he always bloody brilliant? Spesh when it comes to serving up a cracker of an NY closer that's totally worth the mad rush
Coach: Ready-to-Wear SS18
A homage to the high prince of American art, Keith Haring, at Coach this afternoon. Him of the squiggles. His was, and is for that matter, art that makes people happy - you can’t not be when you’re looking at his
Vaquera: Ready-to-Wear SS18
This felt very London. As in, not entirely about clothes, although there were clothes, obviously, as there tend to have to be at these things, but more about the show itself. The experience. It was in your face. So in
Helmut Lang Seen By Shayne Oliver: Ready-to-Wear SS18
Personally I’ve never been to a Helmut Lang show, so it was rather exciting to watch one, although this wasn’t a Helmut Lang show per se, not in the typical sense, rather it was a Helmut Lang as seen by Shayne
Anna Sui: Ready-to-Wear SS18
There’s something quite reassuring about an Anna Sui show. It’s not to say you know what you’re getting - Sui’s imagination always abounds - but rather when you see these clothes, you know they’re hers. It’s quite a knack actually,
Oscar de la Renta: Ready-to-Wear SS18
It was the airy upper level of New York’s Sotheby’s this afternoon for Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia's sophomore outing at Oscar de la Renta, a less rarefied space than the elegant salon of Oscar old, talking of the pair's
3.1 Phillip Lim: Ready-to-Wear SS18
This had something of the flamenco dancer to it. And for once we’re not just picking an obscure reference from the dark recesses of our mind, Lim actually told us so after the show. 90s minimalism was the other he
Fenty x Puma: Ready-to-Wear SS18
Splash! Watersports in space. A feast of scuba. Wetsuits, cycle shorts, knickers. Clothing for the lady who may need to straddle a jet-ski at a moments notice. Some with WET written on them. Clothes to stop you getting wet too.
Opening Ceremony: Ready-to-Wear SS18
A sort of fashion show-cum-interpretative dance piece, directed by Spike Jonze and held in the renowned La Mama Experimental Theatre Club on the Lower East Side, revealed Opening Ceremony’s SS18 collection this evening. Ooh la la. All very Carol Lim
Victoria Beckham: Ready-to-Wear SS18
It's no secret that for the last few seasons la Beckham has shifted herself away from the structured, body-clinging gowns that defined her early collections. "Light. Refreshing. Bold. Confident," she said of this morning's show via the brief notes left
Diane Von Furstenberg: Ready-to-Wear SS18
Lovely Scotsman Jonathan Saunders is fitting in very well indeed at DVF. He’s got this way of taking everything Diane’s built her business on - incredible colours, prints, dresses - and rejigging them, without losing anything that makes Diane, well,
Sies Marjan: Ready-to-Wear SS18
There’s been lots of colour in New York already this season, but Sander Lak of Sies Marjan’s the king of it. That’s where his collections start - tiny swatches of colour from which everything else grows. Today, he said backstage
