MFW SS16: Cristiano Burani
What do you get when you take a chunk of ‘60s, a dash of the ‘70s, a slight sprinkle of ‘90s streetwear and a whole lot of colour? Cristiano Burani’s SS16 collection. It was an eye opening blend of the 20th cen...

MFW SS16: Marni
A lot of Marni’s collection for SS16 in many ways didn’t exactly resemble the usual and expected attire for the spring/summer season. Models with lashes like blinking eye dolls and tied up glossy hair with a 19...

Waxing lyrical – a waning Crescent City? Glass meets British singer Jon Cleary about the beating heart of New Orleans
His speaking voice – dry, distinctly English, vessel for a voluminous vocabulary – isn’t what you’d expect. Singing live and on record, Jon Cleary’s relatively rough baritone sounds happy just to be there, it...

MFW SS16: Moschino
The success story of Moschino by Jeremy Scott rags and instant riches continued this season in which the references were as heavily applied as ever, with Scott flicking through the fashion history books and rew...
MFW SS16: Dolce & Gabbana

In a mood that moves more towards the antithesis of the relentless fashion cycle that we face each season, Bottega Veneta’s Tomas Maier has let loose this SS16 and yearned for freedom. Basing his latest collect...
MFW SS16: Emilio Pucci

MFW SS16: Prada
The process of pondering a Prada show is always a little bemusing. Each season throws up a procession of artsy, eccentric, potentially ugly pieces – yet instantly, we need them. Therein lies Ms Prada's talent -...
LFW SS16: Belstaff
The Belstaff SS16 presentation was a celebration of the sea, its beauty and power. The models with seemingly wet hair were leisurely sitting and standing by sand dunes and talking amongst themselves and the gue...
