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…
When Fashion Month started it almost looked as if our fascination with print and pattern was on its way out. But a few shows don’t really make a trend and it was soon pretty clear that print was staying put. Let’s face it, in a world that contains Alessandro Michele, quirky patterns are always going…
Small-scale checks are proving to be print and pattern favourites on at least three of the Big Four runways (and who knows what paris will bring?) Surprisingly versatile, these checks SS17-style, run through the full range of looks starting with Bardot-influenced ginghams for a sexy ingenue edge or a look that underlines the extremely simplicity…
Do you long for the uniformity of 1980s-style black? Tough luck. It’s been a world dominated by print and pattern in recent seasons so you must be longing for a change. Well, this just in…. pre-summer 2017 isn’t going to give you any relief. So why not go with the flow and tap into some…
It’s so boring when brands send out collections season after season that are so darned perfect you just want to scoop everything up and take it home. But that’s what Gucci has done since early last year when Alessandro Michele stepped into the spotlight and became a fashion star. We critics like something to criticise but…
Success in fashion isn’t necessarily dependent on talent and some of the most talented designers fail, especially when they’re UK-based. But now Jonathan Saunders is off to better financed climes with the news that he’s the new creative director at Diane von Furstenberg.
The spring deliveries are coming thick and fast with floral print and lace taking a starring role at Topshop. It sounds quite pretty, but it’s not. Well, it is actually, but that’s not its main raison d’être.
I’m a big fan of Marni. It’s one of those labels that goes its own way and is all the better for it. Not that this always makes it the most popular of the Milan Fashion Week labels. Just compare the reaction to its H&M collaboration a few years ago. Strong seller though it was,…
OK, Milan has started so now the serious trend spotting begins as fashion’s big guns are wheeled out. And where better to start than Gucci? Today’s show was… well, predictable really. Not that this is a criticism. Since being appointed just over a year ago, Alessandro Michele has imprinted his vision on Gucci so completely…
In case you didn’t get the celebration of nature in Marni’s print story for SS16, the label’s new ad campaign really rams the point home. Tom Hunter has shot model Suvi Koponen against a woodland backdrop with one shot resembling nothing less than a leopard sleeping after a big meal.
