Gucci Resort ’17- The State of Things To Come
Fashion. Its in a particular state right now, and several designers are trying to unpick their way out of the particularity of the situation whilst others have remained stumped. Season to season there is a raging debate on the nature of collections and the impact on the consumer and designer. For us, its a spectator sport…

GAP- It’s Not Us, It’s You
If GAP were a boyfriend, he would be the really needy, cloying type always wanting affection and reassurance; like me, need me, want me… Like Oy Vey grow a pair. Everyday, every other day, in my inbox is an email from GAP, 40% off, 35% off, 30% off code, 40% off duo deal and extra 10%…

Ivy Park- Body by Bey
On my bucket list is a body like Beyonce. No joke, no word of a lie, I love Bey’s body and I love the way she loves her body. Nothing about her body is wrong. Hips, an ass that won’t quit, that waist, damnit that waist and the sensuous curve of her back as it…

Revolving Doors- Hedi Slimane Leaves YSL.
This lasted much longer than I anticipated it would, but when his return was announced and his first collection was shown, I thought it was only a matter of time before Slimane would leave YSL.

Brunch- Spring In Our Step
We landed in London Gatwick a mere 24 hours ago, into a bitingly cold, typically grey London day, a shock to the system from sunny Cuba. Spring, how I long for thee. My mind is already fast forward into the season of new beginnings, pastel colours, flowers and freshness and this is my ideal uniform…

#NYFW AW’16 An Atmosphere- Tommy Hilfiger
I like a good atmosphere in a fashion show sometimes. I know, I am guilty of belabouring the fact that sometimes too much can be too much when it comes to fashion, and we lose the actual point to be made and taken- the clothes, but sometimes the atmosphere contributes to the feel of the…

#NYFW Fall ’16- The Celebrity Designer
Fashion Week is here again, and the spectacle has begun, from Burberry’s announcement to skip the seasonal calendar, more or less, to Tom Ford over the thing all together and Kanye’s tomfoolery, it is gearing up to be another one of those seasons that will have us all exhausted by the end of it. If we…
