Two things have always struck me as odd about the way fashion stores add new product. One is that they load up on sarongs and bikinis while the March rain is still soaking us, or load up on knits while Indian summer temperates make us wilt at the very sight of that newly installed autumnal…
You have to feel sorry for knit buyers. Their season is on a make-or-break knife edge with he rather frequently not playing ball. After all, nothing makes consumers want to buy this autumn and winter essential more than plunging temperatures. Drop knits in-store too early and they sit unloved on the shelves until the temperature…
OK, Milan has started so now the serious trend spotting begins as fashion’s big guns are wheeled out. And where better to start than Gucci? Today’s show was… well, predictable really. Not that this is a criticism. Since being appointed just over a year ago, Alessandro Michele has imprinted his vision on Gucci so completely…
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.
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 beginning to feel like a broken record. For those of you too old to remember broken records, when an old-style vinyl disc got scratched, the needle would get stuck and repeat the same bits again, and again, and agin….

Au Jour Le Jour is a label that’s been making an impact in recent seasons and based on the pre-fall 16 offer, it looks set to continue that grand tradition. Here’s why…
The new (pre-)season has one big print story that’s a five-star gift for knitwear designers, T-shirt maker, plus anyone who fell in love with Kidult and who likes the cute and the quirky. Cat prints are having a moment and are an easy way to update tops, skirts, coats, dresses – in fact, just about anything.…
I love knitwear. It doesn’t love me of course – my record at keeping a seater looking vaguely respectable is two washes tops. But that doesn’t stop me adding sweater after sweater to my spending wishlist. These are my tops picks from the pre-fall 16 collections.
I’ve always liked Delpozo, but the label’s not one that’s figured high on my list of influencers. That’s due a) to its scarily high prices and b) to its demi-couture profile that means its silhouettes err on the side of extreme rather than commercial. But for the pre-fall collection, it doesn’t take too much of…
