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.
There’s a lot of data emerging to help us answer the question “who won the NYFW social media war?” Some of it’s a bit contradictory at the moment but it’s also fascinating. So what’s the answer? Well it wasn’t Tommy and Gigi (I used this picture because I liked it), although they were in the…
Topshop Unique has spent several years proving it really does deserve a place on the designer runway schedule and its AW16 show at London Fashion Week this afternoon added some weight to that. The high street retail brand gave us a selection of the key trends that are driving the runways, and also that are key…

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. And ‘bow out’ is perhaps the right phrase given that the announcements about close-to-season, insta-fashion and more we’ve had this week mean next NYFW could be really rather…
I’m turning into something of a Delpozo groupie. The pre-fall 16 collection designed by Josep Font for the label won me over and now AW16 has blown me away. OK, it’s crazily expensive (but also understandably so given the level of detail), and it’s not exactly practical. These are uncompromising clothes for women who don’t…
If you’re not yet convinced about the impact women are having on sales for sports brands, then Puma’s latest results and other big news should convince you. Puma already has Rihanna as a creative director and today confirmed that Kylie Jenner has signed up to front a campaign too (despite her brother-in-law Kanye West insisting…
