Roksanda: Ready-To-Wear SS20
There always an artist at the heart of Roksanda Ilincic's collections. This season she referenced several, from the yellow “Christo” catwalk that snaked through the Serpentine pavilion to paint splattered, neon-splashed prints which referenced one of her favourite artists Mary
Supriya Lele: Ready-To-Wear SS20
Most of us have had an edgy phase at some point in our lives. It usually lands slap bang in the middle of your teens. The music you listen to gets darker, the eyeliner you plaster on gets heavier and
JW Anderson: Ready-To-Wear SS20
The JW Anderson world is full of unlikely collisions. How about a front row featuring Christina Aguilera in full diva mode next to pocket-sized action heroine Maisie Williams. Jonathan Anderson clearly curates his guest list like he curates his collections. Things
Richard Quinn: Ready-To-Wear SS20
Good things are worth waiting for. With a slight delay from his slot on the LFW schedule, Richard Quinn created one of those moments that will go down in fashion history. One of East End’s many leisure centres was turned
Christopher Kane: Ready-To-Wear SS20
Into a vast concrete basement we went, where a hyper-real meadow backdrop (surely too green to be true) was projected onto soaring cathedral-like walls. This synthetic nature was writ large and also miniaturised and used for all-over prints on the
Erdem: Ready-To-Wear SS20
Why decide on a single muse when you can find a new one each season? People that inspire Erdem Moralioglu’s exuberant shows are extraordinary. This time round, it was Tina Modotti, an important figure of early 20th century communist activism
Simone Rocha: Ready-To-Wear SS20
Sometimes, very rarely, does a fashion show create a mood so strong you get to forget where you came from and where you’re going next. Simone Rocha’s SS20 show did exactly that. Whether it’s the fact the fashion crowds were
Phoebe English: Ready-To-Wear SS20
Guests at the Phoebe English presentation yesterday weren't greeted with a complimentary bottle of water, nor a glass of something bubbly. Instead, they were given the opportunity to donate a tree to work towards growing the new largest native forest.
Victoria Beckham: Ready-To-Wear SS20
What a weekend for Victoria Beckham. On Saturday she launched her direct to consumer beauty brand (it sold out in minutes) and on Sunday she showed a stellar SS20 fashion show in a marbled inner cloister of the Foreign and
Roland Mouret: Ready-To-Wear SS20
With Extinction Rebellion protestors picketing fashion week and Greta Thunberg lobbying in Washington, Roland Mouret was in a contemplative mood. He mulled the question of what is fashion’s place in a world under threat? “There’s a responsibility that comes with
Chalayan: Ready-To-Wear SS20
Clothes that move. They were the goal of Hussein Chalayan’s latest outing, celebrating the active part of the human body. Maybe dancing in the studio? Or feel like camping in the great outdoors? His SS20 collection was made for action.
Ashish: Ready-To-Wear SS20
It’s always a party at Ashish. Sometimes political, others a full-on rave. But there was something a bit different about his yesterday’s show. For SS20, the tone seemed slightly more serious and less radical, resulting in a collection full of
Preen by Thornton Bregazzi: Ready-To-Wear SS20
Each season, in place of show notes, Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi provide a curated selection of books that represent both their reading list for the past six months and the influences on the collection we're about to see. For
Dilara Findikoglu: Ready-To-Wear SS20
Onto a runway, shaped like a cross, lit by candles and watched over by wicker totems, marched a witchy woman. She brought with her an incantation for global cooling and earthly healing. For her first full catwalk show, Dilara Findikoglu revelled
