See the Best Looks of Roberto Cavalli, Spring – Summer 2016 here:
THE instalment of a new creative director can go one of two ways – it’s either about revolution (as at Gucci) or evolution: that’s what Peter Dundas did atRoberto Cavalli yesterday, as he finally made his debut after it was announced back in March this year. Continue Reading…
See the best looks from Prada Spring – Summer 2016 Collection here:
MIUCCIA PRADA gave us a very clever show this evening – it was a new way of dressing with all of your favourite clothes. It was her classic bad-taste-good-taste mash-up and with so much to wear, a magpie’s dream to dissect.
The models looked like sticks of rock in their striped skirt suits and coats with a bit of space-age thrown in. It all felt so modern: gold lips and bauble Christmas decoration earrings that later morphed into jangling sequins that descended as epaulettes on the shoulders of dropped-waist dresses.

See the best looks from Emilio Pucci Spring – Summer 2016 Collection here:
THERE’S something in the Milanese air at the moment and it’s called change. Alessandro Michele started it at Gucci with his all-shining overhaul and it’s something that’s spread on over to Emilio Pucci, which received an about-turn touch from MSGM creative director Massimo Giorgetti today. An Italian favourite, he’s been a rising star ever since he launched MSGM back in 2009. Known for its – and his – penchant for colour, he seemed the ideal match to take on the Emilio Pucci mantle when Peter Dundas stepped down from the label in March to take over at Roberto Cavalli, at which he’ll make his debut this weekend.

A rainbow palette and some historical details – see the best looks from Karl Lagerfeld’s Fendi show in Milan here:
BIG sleeves and high necks, there was an Edwardian feel to the Fendi collection this afternoon – even slouchy bombers getting a historical and voluminous revamp with billowing leg-of-mutton sleeve action. Continue Reading…
“Tender has something to do with Beauty,” Alessandro Michele on the Women’s Spring Summer 2016 Fashion Show. Here, only the best from Gucci Spring/Summer 2016 :
FOR his second ready-to-wear collection at Gucci, Alessandro Michele (who took over from Frida Giannini at the beginning of this year), presented a wealth of ideas that firmly and strongly built on what he started to show us his intentions were last season.
But where those had a slight softly-softly approach, this time the ideas came with gusto, staunchly setting out to follow up and consolidate what he started and take it somewhere even better. You know this is going to be one very desirable collection and one that will have significant impact on the season ahead. Continue Reading…
London Fashion Week…
ON the face of it, it was the usual fanfare at the Burberry Prorsum show in Hyde Park: there were stressed ushers in day-glo jackets directing traffic with military precision, headset-wearing security at every check point, and suited staff guiding show goers to velvet upholstered seats. Continue Reading…
If I were asked to vote for the Classiest Fashion Show of the recent New York Fashion Week, that would be certainly the one of Carolina Herrera. A collection that gave reason to why a woman should be proud of her feminity. Respect to the femine characteristics, perfect lines, tech fabric stitched onto transparent mesh of different densities and a lot of pink..,
“I’m in my rose period,” Herrera said.
Maybe this is one of the reasons why this collection is so Classy and Fabulous… Continue Reading…
One of the most multi -discussed Spring Collections so far, was the one of Oscar de la Renta, which was held on the 16th of September. The inspiration was the city of Madrid, where the Legendary fashion designer spent some period of his young era… Let me share with you this wonderful journey… which took place in New York Fashion Week 2015.

IT was a combination of the French Riviera and Paris in springtime that played out on the Ralph Lauren catwalk today – with Julianne Moore, Jessica Chastain and Alec Baldwin among those there to take it all in, Frank Sinatra chiming away in the background. Quite the holiday.
What to pack for it? Ralph suggests bold graphic maxidresses, here they curved in lines of red and blue; wide palazzo pants and fine-knit bodysuits complete with cutouts. Of course, you’ll need a ballgown – in stripes – and plenty of preppy shirting, for which the designer is so well-known. Continue Reading…
As more than a thousand people traversed the rush hour–choked West Side Highway and flooded onto Pier 26—all dressed to the nines (or maybe the threes or twos, given the skimpiness of a few notable looks)—it’s fair to say that one of the very last things they were expecting was to be immersed in a contemplative experience. Yet this is what they got from Riccardo Tisci on the night he brought his Givenchyshow to New York City, coinciding with the 14th anniversary of 9/11. Continue Reading…
