Skechers and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor, who have teamed up for a new marketing campaign to launch the Skechers Originals retro collection, have unveiled teaser images for Trainor’s first TV commercial for the campaign.
It’s over. Fashion Month has finally drawn to a close and we can all pause for breath, although the fashion industry isn’t pausing as it furiously pores over every key look, key item and key colour to see how it can pep up its open-to-buy offer for AW16.
At first glance I wasn’t overwhelmed by the latest Louis Vuitton collection from Nicolas Ghesquière. Yes, it tapped into a number of the season’s key trends. And yes, it also had that unique edge that’s a feature of many of the leading Paris labels.
Isabel Marant has an uncanny knack of summing up the look of any season. She may not always offer up the key items everyone is raving over but when those so-called key items are on the clearance rack come the end of the season you realise that the pieces she gave us sold-through as well as…
I was given a Kate Spade handbag once. It was linked to the brand’s first fragrance launch and the press kit came wrapped up in a beautiful tote bag package. Having at first assumed it was one of those not-quite-so-good promotional specials, my realisation that it was a real high-end bag practically had me hyper-ventilating.…

There’s a myth surrounding Burberry that it’s a company built on innovation and pushing the boundaries. It’s really not. It’s actually about tradition and ultra-commerciality all wrapped up in an often-innovative package.
I’m a big fan of Jerome Dreyfuss bags and now I’m a big fan of the brand’s advertising too. For SS16 it celebrates dance and stars prima ballerina Aurélie Dupont.
I’m beginning to feel like a broken record. For those of you too old to remember broken records, when an old-style vinyl disc got scratched, the needle would get stuck and repeat the same bits again, and again, and agin….
