Valentino does athleisure? No, surely not. But it’s true. There it was on Pierpaolo Piccioli’s runway for the resort/cruise/pre-summer collection as the label varied its usual gorgeous-gowns-with-a-cultural-homage/appropriation-touch and offered up a bit more variety. This really was a something-for-everyone collection.. well everyone with a fat wallet, at least… Red carpet? Tick. Cocktails on the yacht?…
Do you long for the uniformity of 1980s-style black? Tough luck. It’s been a world dominated by print and pattern in recent seasons so you must be longing for a change. Well, this just in…. pre-summer 2017 isn’t going to give you any relief. So why not go with the flow and tap into some…
Sssnakeskin.. sorry snakeskin… is a key material across categories for the pre-summer collections, helping to ring the changes for belts, boots and, of course, that key category – bags.
Theresa May, Angela Eagle, Hillary Clinton, Nicola Sturgeon, Angela Merkel, Andrea Leadsom.

Runway denim and high street denim are two different animals but sometimes they come together with ideas from the runway filtering through to a store shelf near you. And this pre-season? Well there’s plenty to pick from including intense colour, zany pattern effects, shrunken or oversized versions of timeless classics and a jamboree of embroidered…
The Marc Jacobs resort/pre-summer collection hit town yesterday and was certainly an interesting one. While there was an element of the unappealing in there, it was also stuffed full of ultra-commercial pieces that should spark a few trends.
It’s so boring when brands send out collections season after season that are so darned perfect you just want to scoop everything up and take it home. But that’s what Gucci has done since early last year when Alessandro Michele stepped into the spotlight and became a fashion star. We critics like something to criticise but…
I really like the Dior brand. Always have done. I’ve got a Dior coat (bought in a sale), some Dior Fusion trainers (bought on eBay) and a Dior shirt (bought in a vintage store). The first grown-up skincare I bought 38 years ago was Dior. I loved what John Galliano did there and I loved…
