I’ve always liked Delpozo, but the label’s not one that’s figured high on my list of influencers. That’s due a) to its scarily high prices and b) to its demi-couture profile that means its silhouettes err on the side of extreme rather than commercial. But for the pre-fall collection, it doesn’t take too much of…
At last – some good news for Prada. The investment specialists at Morningstar.co.uk said today that the company still has a competitive advantage despite all of its recent woes. Morningstar’s conclusion is that it “shows high margins and returns on capital” and “possesses one of the most visible luxury brands in the world [with] long-term…
Mulberry has been cleared by Britain’s Advertising Standards Authority after 42 people complained about its #MulberryMiracle ad being blasphemous. Why blasphemous? The ad (ironically created by an agency called Adam&EveDDB) shows a woman who’s just moved into a remote house opening her Christmas present – a red Mulberry handbag. Then some shepherds turn up and…
It’s ad campaign season again and the SS16 creative campaigns are going to start coming thick and fast in the next few weeks. First up is Burberry with a line-up of relative newcomers, all shot by Mario Testino. And the campaign is big. No, wait – it’s HUGE. There are 40 shots in total featuring…
Animal print lovers like myself should be looking forward to pre-fall 2016 as there’s a strong big cat print and texture trend coming through that’s being seen on coats, skirts, bags and shoes.
Another day, another tech initiative from Burberry. The company has linked up with DreamWorks Animation for a product campaign making use of 3D tech and the world-famous Piccadilly Circus, London, curved screen. Passers-by will be able to design a personalised heritage scarf on their smartphones and the result will appear on the screen, according to…
The jury’s still out on whether the current deluge of pre-fall 16 collections is giving us fashion that’s a) wonderfully inspiring, b) deadly dull, c) compellingly commercial, or d) too much of the same old thing. But I’ve found more than a few pieces that’ll be pinned up on my Wishing Wall (if I can just get…
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)…
Fashion, handbags, accessories, wearable tech and the website were all standout performers at John Lewis in the latest week, which is good news. But has the week been generally positive given that seven days ago John Lewis reported week-on-week sales up an astonishing 60.1% thanks to Black Friday? Now that the dust has settled, have the…
“Please let Mulberry’s turnaround work,” I thought to myself as I opened the notification of its latest half-year report this morning. You see, despite the brand’s attempts to compete with the Pradas and Guccis and squeeze ever-higher amounts of money out of its customers in recent years, like many people in the UK, I do…
