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…
On the Grammys red carpet it wasn’t so much a case of lining up behind which celeb you wanted to win but which colour corner you felt drawn to. The red carpet channelled current colour trends with the clashing brights and degradé effects that we’re seeing on the current AW16 runways, as well as the intense…
It can sometimes seem that the awards ceremonies leading up to the Oscars are a bit like a dress rehearsal for the big one – at least on the red carpet. You just know that the assorted celebs, stylists and designers haven’t really unveiled their killer dresses yet. However important the Golden Globes and Screen…
Alberta Ferretti is one of those labels that always comes up with delicious fabric mixes and feminine takes on the trends of the day. Yet it’s not one that you expect to make you say “wow”. This couture season is rather different though. The Alberta Ferretti Limited Edition label has channelled many of the key trends we’ve…
There’s something about a collection that’s put together without a named creative director at the helm. It’s like being given a bottle of perfume in a generic bottle – the smell is the same but it doesn’t feel quite as good. So it was with the Christian Dior SS16 couture collection today.
You’ve got to hand it to Versace. The fashion house has had its ups and downs but it’s back on a roll doing… well, what it’s always done really. Versace knows that sex sells and that’s what it gives it well-heeled clients, specially when it comes to its haute couture Atelier Versace offer.
Cultural appropriation complaints don’t seem to have stopped Valentino’s designers from choosing Africa for their SS16 campaign shots. And they chose a photojournalist to capture the campaign.
The Golden Globes delivered a succession of great dresses with few howlers and plenty of inspiration for evening and bridalwear in 2016 and beyond. So what were the key trends?
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…
The pre-fall collections moved into a higher gear today as Gucci released Alessandro Michele’s latest collection… and it’s a real ‘collection’. 78 looks, rather than the 20 or so many labels send out for pre-season. It continues the exuberant retro-boho-luxe-dressing up looks that Michele obviously loves (you can never accuse him of being a minimalist)…
