Say what you like about Apple (and I’ve never held back from some harsh words about the brand) but the team in Cupertino certainly knows how to get us coming back for more. However ridiculously expensive the products are, however easy it is to smash those screens and however crazy it is that the phones,…
Remember Sport Luxe? It was a big trend a few seasons ago when luxury designers added some sporty touches to their collections (while also loading them with embellishment and other unsporty details). It was quite popular I seem to remember.
It was something of a jumpsuit jamboree on the runways this season with many labels sending out at least one and DKNY dedicating a multi-model finale to the item. But that’s not big news in itself, although it would have been not so many seasons ago before one-piece dressing hit the mainstream.
We’re all obsessed with the luxury market, sometimes unfairly so, as there’s frequently much more of interest happening further along the fashion chain at high street level. But it means that luxury is studied and analysed to the umpteenth degree and one area in which that analysis can get more than a little uncomfortable for…
Parachute styling. Big in the 80s and making comeback every few years ever since. Well it’s back again for SS17 and in a season when the 80s are very much on our minds (with all those big shoulders and almost-ra-ra skirts, how could they not be?) it’s clear the ‘new’ parachute styling owes more to…
OK, back to blog posting after a too-busy week (doing paid work). So what shall I talk about? The US presidential election? The Labour shadow cabinet? Samsung’s PR nightmare over the Galaxy Note 7? Nah, let’s be really shallow. Ugg has announced its first ever creative brand partnership with Alexa Chung as part of its…
You never know what to expect with Miu Miu collections. Will it be a classic? Will it be a bit, well, odd? Will it be full of light and airy clothes for autumn or cosy coats for spring? Well one thing was clear yesterday, this was definitely a spring/summer show as Miuccia Prada sent out…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… Ok apologies if that means you’ve got that tune stuck in your head now (I have just by writing it), but you can always tell the time of year.
One plus one usually equals two. In the case of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli at Valentino one plus one added up to 11. But if anyone was worried that the breaking up of that phenomenally successful partnership now one half of it has gone to Dior would mean that one minus one now…
Women prefer to wear trainers rather than high heels. It’s official. Mintel has just released a report telling us what we actually already knew. Apparently in the last year, 37% of women who bought shoes went for trainers while 33% bought heels, which must mean that there’s another 30% buying flats of some kind.
