If you can ignore all the bad things that are happening in the world (and there have been too many times in the past year that I’ve just wanted to bury my head in the sand), then it’s a great time to be alive… For those of us who love animal print, at least. Animal print…
Small-scale checks are proving to be print and pattern favourites on at least three of the Big Four runways (and who knows what paris will bring?) Surprisingly versatile, these checks SS17-style, run through the full range of looks starting with Bardot-influenced ginghams for a sexy ingenue edge or a look that underlines the extremely simplicity…
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…
Some collections are just unforgettable. Prada SS08, Alaïa and Gaultier AW86, Dolce & Gabbana AW13… I spend a lot of time trying to track down pieces from collections like that on eBay, Vestiaire Collective and anywhere else bargains can be had.

I’m a big fan of Marni. It’s one of those labels that goes its own way and is all the better for it. Not that this always makes it the most popular of the Milan Fashion Week labels. Just compare the reaction to its H&M collaboration a few years ago. Strong seller though it was,…
Print and pattern specialists have gone head over heels for flora and fauna this pre-season which means there’s a surefire way to update key pieces. Choose your motifs from among our feathered friends or get the butterfly effect.
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)…
Furla has inked a licensing deal with silk maker Ratti for a range of branded Furla textile accessories. Not necessarily the most exciting news. But think about it.
