OK, back to blog posting after a too-busy week (doing paid work). So what shall I talk about? The US presidential election? The Labour shadow cabinet? Samsung’s PR nightmare over the Galaxy Note 7? Nah, let’s be really shallow. Ugg has announced its first ever creative brand partnership with Alexa Chung as part of its…
You never know what to expect with Miu Miu collections. Will it be a classic? Will it be a bit, well, odd? Will it be full of light and airy clothes for autumn or cosy coats for spring? Well one thing was clear yesterday, this was definitely a spring/summer show as Miuccia Prada sent out…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… Ok apologies if that means you’ve got that tune stuck in your head now (I have just by writing it), but you can always tell the time of year.
One plus one usually equals two. In the case of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli at Valentino one plus one added up to 11. But if anyone was worried that the breaking up of that phenomenally successful partnership now one half of it has gone to Dior would mean that one minus one now…
Women prefer to wear trainers rather than high heels. It’s official. Mintel has just released a report telling us what we actually already knew. Apparently in the last year, 37% of women who bought shoes went for trainers while 33% bought heels, which must mean that there’s another 30% buying flats of some kind.
Isabel Marant must be one of the most copied designers around today. Not quite a household name in the way some other designers are, you must surely remember those high-heeled trainers, conical heel ankle boots and chain-wrapped longer boots? And the draped mini skirts that are all over the high street right now? Pure Marant.
The Paris shows are proving once again just why the season’s final week is so important with a number of big names offering up their own unique takes on spring/summer 2017. This morning it was Chloé, with Clare Waight Keller at the Richemont-owned label continuing along a path that has seen it mixing utility with…
Let’s get a few things clear. This is what Dries Van Noten ISN’T. It’s not a label for selfie fans, social media stars, Gen Z, or “look at me I’m so sexy” celebs. So what is it? Well, great actually. And after a few collections this Fashion Month that have been more than a little…
Social media is the great hope for brand marketers, potentially representing a way of directly reaching customers while also being extremely cost effective. But the picture isn’t all rosy as a new study of 70,000 consumers globally shows. Kantar TNS’s Connected Life study shows more than a quarter (26%) of consumers saying they ignore posts or…
It’s a funny thing about Yves Saint Laurent. Whenever a new designer takes over at the label, he (and it’s always ‘he’) has an ‘Yves moment’ and sends out a collection that tries very hard to reinterpret the house’s signature looks.
