All London Fashion Week is, for me now, is a reason to see what Yaku will do next. I cut my schedule this season, choosing only a handful of shows. Sometimes life insists you can’t be everywhere. But Yaku isn’t a show you fit into life. Yaku is the disruption, the gravitational pull. Rain, illness,…

The success of any fashion show lies in the details. The clothes may be what we come to see, but staging a great runway presentation is as much about atmosphere and timing as it is about silhouette and cut. It can often be more of a science than an art. When I stepped into the…

Spend five minutes with VC Pines and you’ll quickly realise he doesn’t approach music the way most people do. For one, he sees it – mostly in shades of violet.  It’s not a gimmick. It is how his brain works: a combination of his experiences with epilepsy and synesthesia, and a need to pin emotion…

Paris Fashion Week is usually an exercise in polish and restraint. But on Wednesday night, as day two wrapped and a biblical storm cracked open the sky, all bets were off. Fashion’s finest sprinted through the city like sailors hunting for safe harbour.  There was an apocalyptic energy hanging over the Palais de Tokyo by…

END marks twenty years on the streetwear map by returning to the brand that helped build its credibility. By all accounts, it has been a stylish twenty years for END.

A lot goes into making sure the 15 to 20 minutes of runway magic live up to expectations.  The pressure of a debut is crushing. No matter the arena, no matter the field, no…

In the heart of London, as snowflakes gently descended upon a meticulously crafted Georgian streetscape, Richard Quinn unveiled his Autumn/Winter 2025 collection—a love letter to the art of dressing up and the cherished moments that define our lives. The scene, reminiscent of a post-midnight departure from an intimate soirée, set the stage for a collection…

The main thing that stood out to me as I entered 180 Strand today was the unbelievable amount of work, love and care that had clearly been painstakingly poured into this collection. It feels like yesterday I was in the same space to view and review another collection from YAKU – a collection that didn’t…

KENT&CURWEN’s AW25 showcase was something truly magical. Before the models even graced the runway the audience was transported to a place of childlike awe – a place where fashion’s ability to ignite one’s curiosity was made fantastically apparent.  The key theme of the collection, and the show, was transition. It was a glorious embodiment of…
