Designers are taking an adventurous path for AW18 shoes and bots, sticking with some established favourites and also going in new directions. And role-play is big news as our shoes carry us into cowboy country, help us live an urban sports lifestyle, or make us act like a style star in can’t-miss-them power prints that…
Who says Nicolas Ghesquière isn’t up to the job of creation control as LVMH’s biggest moneyspinner? As a not-always-brilliant Fashion Month ended on Tuesday, he turned out to be spot on, silencing the whispers about his future at the brand, for now at least.
Dior is making the most of its appointment of a female designer of its womenswear for the first time in its history with its latest campaign starring Jennifer Lawrence in pieces from the pre-fall collection and discussing Maria Grazia Chiuri in a behind-the-scenes video.
So Jimmy Choo is up for sale. Well, that was a surprise as there doesn’t seem to be an obvious catalyst. Sales like this usually happen if the owners are throwing in the towel or if business is powering ahead and they see the potential for chasing in with massive profits. Actually, it seems that…
Has the ankle boot had its day? No, of course not. But designers don’t seem to be as fond of its as they once were and the recent catwalks were a powerful example of that. It was as if they’d all got together to wage some kind of anti-ankle boot campaign. As if C.R.A.B. (the…
Prada has been going through some tough times lately.

Fashion insiders still love it but bloggers are less obsessed and its resale appeal…

Not perfect but enough good news to continue to suggest make me think it’s a shame that this quirky, individual company feels the need to sell itself. But that’s life. Some shareholders want to get more value from…
What did Jimmy Choo do right last year? Just about everything it seems. The luxury firm said this morning that it had a record year and was on a roll as far as shoes, men’s product, accessories (especially its Lockett bag) and licensed products like perfumes and eyewear went. OK, it wasn’t a perfect year…
Burberry had a lot to shout about this morning and while it wasn’t all good, most of it was after Q3 showed that it’s on track for a recovery from the battering that has dented much of the luxury sector in recent periods. First the facts: It sold a lot of product (much of it…
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…
