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.
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…
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…
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…
Welcome to the year 2000. That’s what it felt like watching Tom Ford’s latest runway collection yesterday. Is that a criticism? Not at all, because the collection was really rather good.
There’s a lot of data emerging to help us answer the question “who won the NYFW social media war?” Some of it’s a bit contradictory at the moment but it’s also fascinating. So what’s the answer? Well it wasn’t Tommy and Gigi (I used this picture because I liked it), although they were in the…
New York Fashion Week bowed out with a bang as three of its biggest names (Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein) gave us their autumn/winter 2016 visions. And ‘bow out’ is perhaps the right phrase given that the announcements about close-to-season, insta-fashion and more we’ve had this week mean next NYFW could be really rather…
I’m turning into something of a Delpozo groupie. The pre-fall 16 collection designed by Josep Font for the label won me over and now AW16 has blown me away. OK, it’s crazily expensive (but also understandably so given the level of detail), and it’s not exactly practical. These are uncompromising clothes for women who don’t…
Bergdorf Goodman may not be able to offer runway label fashion instantly like the labels can for themselves but it’s doing everything it can to get in on the insta-fashion act. Moving into the get-there-quickly space previously occupied mainly by Moda Operandi, the US retail giant will be offering early access to the AW16 collections of…
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…. Well that’s me this NYFW. The words I’m stuck on are “shearling coats,” “oversized parkas,”…
