It was a big afternoon for knitwear on the London runways on Monday as Joseph, Pringle and Christopher Kane gave use some of the coolest solutions for chilly weather we’ve seen this season.
If a tepid holiday season had made any of us think that January sales would be weak, then the latest figures for e-tail in the UK have proved us wrong. IMRG Capgemini’s e-Retail Sales Index showed sales surging 15% online last month, so much better than the 7% they’d risen by in January 2015. The…
For anyone who’s a regular user of the ShopStyle fashion search platform (and I’m one), there’s an interesting development due in Q2 as it transforms into a fashion marketplace with the launch of new shopping cart service ShopStyle Checkout. Parent company Popsugar said the aim is to enable consumers to purchase products from multiple retail…
There’s a myth surrounding Burberry that it’s a company built on innovation and pushing the boundaries. It’s really not. It’s actually about tradition and ultra-commerciality all wrapped up in an often-innovative package.

I’m a big fan of Jerome Dreyfuss bags and now I’m a big fan of the brand’s advertising too. For SS16 it celebrates dance and stars prima ballerina Aurélie Dupont.
What’s the big question we want the bosses over at Kering to answer? Yes, that’s right: Just what kind of impact is the Alessandro Michele factor having on Gucci sales? The company has just reported its Q4 and full-year results and given that there was real Michele-driven product in the stores for Q4 (rather than…
New York Fashion Week bowed out with a bang as three of its biggest names (Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein) gave us their autumn/winter 2016 visions.
