Versus Versace reveals an urban, military inspired collection for autumn/winter 2016

March 16, 2016 By creative

Anthony Vaccarello, creative director of Versace's sister line, added a rebellious touch to the collection's urban vibe for autumn/winter 2016. While keeping the codes of the Versus line, this new collection brings a gritty, even rebellious edge to the label's autumn/winter looks, in a range of urban, sporty, sometimes boyish ensembles. It's this toughness that we capture in the new Versus Versace collection — the individual attitude of the new generation,” explains Donatella Versace.

1980s glam makes a Paris comeback as Chanel stays classy

March 8, 2016 By creative

It was back to the future on the Paris catwalks Tuesday as Chanel cleverly tweaked its back catalogue only for Saint Laurent to revive a look that some thought best forgotten. In what could be his last show for the label, designer Hedi Slimane — the man credited with the skinny black jeans look and making grunge glam — was judged to have given the brand “the finger” by parodying its founder Yves Saint Laurent's least glorious period. The hugely-influential Women's Wear Daily was scathing about his collection which went hell for shiny snakeskin leather for late 1980s vamp, claiming that it was drawing on a time when “Yves Saint Laurent was well past his creative prime”.

Armani applies a velvet touch to suit revival

February 29, 2016 By admin

Giorgio Armani showed his velvet touch on Monday as he brought down the curtain on a Milan fashion week heralded as marking a revival of the suit-based womenswear he pioneered in the 1980s. Velvet has always been one of the Milanese maestro's favourite materials and it is ubiquitous in his autumn-winter collection: black as the darkest night and, as he put it in his collection notes, dense, tactile and mysterious. The first two models to emerge from backstage set the tone: the first in a tightly-tailored three-quarter-length black velvet coat over predominately pink slacks, the second in a cropped, pink suit jacket worn atop black velvet trousers.

Prada goes handbag heavy in bid to revive flagging fortunes

February 26, 2016 By publisher

Prada's answer to stagnating sales was unveiled on Thursday with a handbag-heavy Fall-Winter collection that the company's executives hopes will mark a revival in the fortunes of the fashion heavyweight's flagging fortunes. Miuccia Prada's latest offering had a post-World War II feel about it with sailor and nurse-style caps abounding alongside cape-shaped coats and pencil skirts designed to emphasise the slender waists of more austere times. Prada could do with this collection being a major hit after two consecutive years of stagnating sales and no sign of an end to the slowdown in China that is hitting it particularly hard.

Burberry dazzles, Kane surprises at London Fashion Week

February 22, 2016 By admin

British fashion giant Burberry Prorsum put the sparkle into London Fashion Week Monday, before Scottish designer Christopher Kane took his star-studded audience on a journey into the bizarre. Burberry chief executive Christopher Bailey said the collection, which will be drip fed into stores from June, was inspired by a “patchwork” of influences. “The collection is all the things that I love, a patchwork of all different things from the Mitford sisters to the military and a little bit of glam-rock,” Bailey told reporters back stage after the show, referring to six sisters who fascinated and scandalised British society of the 1930s.
