Anthony Vaccarello teases Saint Laurent SS17 on Instagram
We won’t get to see Anthony Vaccarello’s first outing for Saint Laurent until September 27 but for now he’s teased the new collection on Instagram with an image of Anja Rubik.
Marc Jacobs: Cool (but never calm) collection reaches new high
Usually, when designers axe their secondary collections and “merge” them into their main lines, the character of the cancelled label disappears into that of the big sister one. But it’s a funny thing that ever since Marc Jacobs canned his younger, cheaper Marc by Marc Jacobs offer, the big sister has behaved more like its…
NYFW SS17: Michael Kors gets happy with forties, frills and florals
Years ago fashion shows were sedate affairs. No music, very little movement apart from a haughty glide on the part of the models, and the announcement of each look’s number. But that was then and this is now and even a relatively conservative label like Michael Kors Collection can give us Rufus Wainwright belting out…
NYFW SS17:All power to the peplum hem skirt
The peplum hem skirt floats in and out of style quite regularly and for SS17 the wind has turned in its favour again – and caused it to crash head on with the frill skirt. Should you care? Well, yes. It means there’ll be lots of them in the stores come next spring/summer.
NYFW SS17 DKNY: New owner, new energy
Are Maxwell Osborne and Dao-Yi Chow feeling the heat? After LVMH finally caved in and sold DKNY when G-III Apparel came up with an offer they couldn’t refuse, there are new owners in place at the label. And when that happens, designers know they have to up their game. They seem to have done so…
NYFW SS17: Coach 1941 offers car crash cool for Vevers’ girl gangs
To call the Coach SS17 presentation yesterday a car crash of a show isn’t actually a criticism. In fact, the giant set that featured beaten up American classic cars piled on top of each other, car crash style, simply added to the collection’s overall theme. And that was? Well, 50s Americana of course. But this…
Proenza Schouler: Ticking trend boxes and more
Fashion weeks are all about trends, right? Well yes, for most of us. But for the labels concerned, they’re actually about offering up a new vision of what a very specific set of customers who might want to buy-into that label will want to wear. It’s why some labels happily tread their own path leaving…
SS17 key trend: Denim in the spotlight
Exactly two years ago, the biggest runway story was the fact that the collections we’re awash with denim for SS15. Fast forward 24 months and designers may have calmed down a bit when it comes to high-end denim but that doesn’t mean it’s any less important as a trend fabric. In fact, it’s so important…
NYFW SS17: Is Altuzarra about to hit the big time?
The silhouette may have looked grown up and unadventurous from a distance, but when you got in a little closer, Altuzarra felt surprisingly youthful, even joyful and definitely not one for those who prefer to keep their fashion discreet. Deceptively conservative pencil shaped skirts and slim blazers were revealed to be cut in snakeskin, decorated…
Victoria Beckham: Softness, slouch and the power of colour
What was the best clue to one of the key trends for SS17 at Victoria Beckham’s show on Sunday? Was it the models or was it the pop-star-turned-serious-designer herself as she took her bow? Actually, it was the latter. The woman whose career has been notable for ultra-minis, wiggle dresses and skinny pants appeared in…
