For me, this is where fashion becomes most compelling; when the process matters as much as the finished piece, and when clothing invites us to look beyond the surface. Docherty’s SS27 collection celebrates craftsmanship without spectacle and creativity without excess.
Read MoreSS27 felt like an invitation to celebrate those stories, imperfections and all. In a fashion landscape often preoccupied with what comes next, YAKU made a compelling case for looking closer to home. After all, the best worlds are sometimes the ones we already know.
Read MoreFor its tenth season, the London based label, founded by Masha Adonyeva, brought a fresh perspective to everyday dressing, turning the familiar into something altogether more interesting. Set against a farmer's market inspired backdrop, the presentation offered a playful contrast between the everyday and the unexpected.
Read MoreSustainability can begin with a shift in perspective: moving away from the constant pursuit of novelty and towards a deeper appreciation of creativity, craftsmanship and considered design. Yuhan Ao’s SS27 collection resonates with this ethos, encouraging us to recognize the value in how things are made, not simply in how they look.
Read MoreThis had to be the most fashion vibe-y show of the LFW season. As Sabrina and I arrived she was relentlessly paparazzi’d whilst I stood nearby catching the pre-show display. One attendee caught my eye as he arrived in a low sitting pair of pants and a shirt opened to the navel, having a full on conversation on his phone. As soon as he was aware of the photographers’ attention he posed effortlessly in multiple angles, continuing his conversation.
Read MoreAt London Fashion Week, Giuseppe Iaciofano turns memory into a language of resistance, where sculptural silhouettes, repurposed fabrics, and the beauty of imperfection remind us that identity is never static.
Read MoreThere’s something deliciously brilliant about a designer who understands that fashion can be whimsical, structured and provocative without taking itself too seriously. Ray Chu’s SS27 was a reminder that sensuality, humor and a healthy dose of mischief belong on the runway just as much as they belong in life. And those two men? Consider their contribution to London Fashion Week duly noted.
Read MoreThis season marks a new creative chapter for the Ukrainian label, with co-founder Anton Schnaider taking the lead as Creative Director. Drawing on his background in graphic design, Schnaider reworks the familiar visual language of football jerseys, racing uniforms and club merchandise into something far more personal and deliberately ambiguous.
Read MoreIn a season full of statements, Glass Body offered something worth lingering over, a reminder that fashion doesn't simply dress the body. It changes how we see it. And of course, we all need tutus... immediately.
Read MoreThere is refinement, but never restraint for restraint’s sake; drama, without sacrificing wearability; and humor that keeps the clothes from taking themselves too seriously. And of course in true KEBURIA fashion, there is always one political statement piece. This season it was aimed at Putin.
Read MoreI have always been particularly interested in fashion as a vehicle for creativity, cultural awareness, and a more considered relationship with what we consume. Doublet’s SS27 collection reminds us that innovation does not always require reinvention through excess.
Read MoreWhat makes SSSTEIN particularly interesting is its understanding that minimalism need not feel cold or clinical.
Read MoreMayner’s approach to proportion has always challenged conventional ideas of masculine dressing. Broad shoulders, generous trousers, and displaced seams create silhouettes that occupy space without appearing rigid.
Read MoreTAAKK SS27 is a reminder that innovation does not always require reinvention. Sometimes, it is simply a matter of learning to see the world differently. And in Paris, that felt like a rather lovely thing to be reminded of.
Read MoreRather than offering the polished perfection we so often associate with new season dressing, Chen looks to the things that happen after a garment leaves the atelier.
Read MoreThis presentation felt like I was intruding on the coolest fashion dinner there ever was. At Magliano’s SS27 presentation during Paris Men’s Fashion Week, held at the legendary Maxim’s, the usual distance between fashion and real life seemed to disappear.
Read MoreI had never in my life experienced so many people in a 360° crowd, both on the ground and above me on the balconies of surrounding buildings. It was chaotic, surreal and, honestly, a little intimidating. For a moment, I forgot I was there to see a fashion show. The spectacle outside had become an event in itself.
Read MoreSS27 also marks an important turning point for the label, with ERL stepping into a new chapter as an independent brand following its departure from Dover Street Market’s incubation program. The collection feels all the more assured for it, bringing together the label’s familiar West Coast energy with a more expansive exploration of American style and personal history.
Read MoreBe careful of charismatic gay men, because they will flirt with everybody, and it works. This is how it is at every single Ouest Paris presentation I have attended thus far.
Read MoreUltimately, Solid Homme SS27 offered more than a straightforward runway presentation. The botanical setting introduced a contemplative atmosphere to the show, while the format encouraged the audience to engage with the collection on its own terms.
