PFW SS16: Dries Van Noten
Dries Van Noten transformed the Parisian runway into an old Hollywood dream for SS16. Every fabric dripped with luxury, the models had their hair spun up and away from their faces in a classic style – it was li...
PFW SS16: Alexis Mabille
Alexis Mabille was feeling fruity in Paris this season and an unexpected burst of watermelon motifs was the way in which the designer chose to express this. This singular design inflection meant sweet typically...
PFW SS16: Rochas

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...
LFW SS16 recap: Fashion Scout ones to watch
The future of fashion, despite being always under debate, somehow manages to fly under the radar most Fashion Weeks. Yet, for 19 seasons, Fashion Scout has been showcasing the latest creations of emerging desig...

Bloomers. Thanks, Karl. According to Milan’s most formidable trend-maker, those peculiarly gathered shorts are what we’ll all be wearing come Spring.
That said, if anyone can make sure a long-forgotten piece...
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...
LFW SS16 Recap: Burberry Prorsum

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

MFW SS16: Versace
Credit it, perhaps, to the roaring success of Anthony Vaccarello’s rock n roll new Versus, but this season saw Donatella Versace drive her mainline in a decidedly more mature direction. SS16 is for the grown-up...
MFW SS16: Roberto Cavalli
Peter Dundas, Roberto Cavalli’s newly appointed creative director, has slipped into his new position seamlessly and in some ways going full circle in fact, after beginning his career at the attitude emblazoned ...

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
This week at the Emilio Pucci SS16 ready to wear show, there was a moderate explosion of colour, coral and everything cut-out. It was a feast for the eyes with everything it had to offer. All with an exotic twi...
MFW SS16: Tod’s
Tod’s Creative Director Alessandra Facchinetti was inspired by 15 women from the creative fields for her SS16 collection, including illustrator and model Langley Fox Hemingway who closed the show, model and art...
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 -...
