Walking into Yaku Stapleton’s London Fashion Week presentation space was like entering into an alternate universe. In one section, models in dino-printed trousers and Stegosaurus shoes hung out in a makeshift living room, its walls lined with cave drawings and ancient looking scrolls. Elsewhere, models trained in combat inside a sort of prehistoric gym, lifting […]
We’ve finally made it to the end of Paris Fashion Week, and with that the end of SS25’s bumper fashion month. Things in the French capital started off strong, with Bella Hadid ditching the rodeo and returning to the Saint Laurent catwalk after two long years in the wilderness. The week continued to pick up […]
For last season’s Miu Miu catwalk, Miuccia Prada hand-picked actor Luther Ford to walk her AW24 show for a display of youthful twinkishness at Paris Fashion Week. This season, however, the designer has taken the opposite tack and gone for an elder statesman of the daddy persuasion (Mrs P is an equal opportunities employer, after […]
It’s likely you’ve spotted the meme on your timeline that suggests you have just two ways of dressing, oscillating between swamping basketball shorts, ratty, oversized tees, and massive hoodies à la Adam Sandleror mega-slaggy micro shorts, bra tops, and bum cheek-skimming mini dresses. Well, it seems like Demna spends as much time doom scrolling as […]
At Gucci, Alessandro Michele created his own spectacular world: one that careened through eras and transcended genres, and would be just as likely to have its inhabitants kitted out in vinyl bondage gear and clasping whips and cat-o-nine-tails as it would trussing them up in flouncy Elizabethan gowns and adidas tracksuits. Across his almost eight-year […]
Though we’re not sure how it was even possible, but Seán McGirr’s second McQueen show seemed to have even more buzz around it than the first. It’s probably due to the fact that a second show is a designer’s chance to consolidate their vision, reestablish codes they laid out in the first show, and let […]
It’s a familiar fact by now, but a Schiaparelli show is always a starry affair. In past seasons we’ve seen Doja Cat in both Breakfast at Tiffany’s cosplay and covered in 30,000 Swarovski crystals. We’ve witnessed Kylie Jenner wearing a gigantic lion’s head, Julia Fox making her Paris Fashion Week debut, Cardi B dressing up […]
Saint Laurent Womenswear SS2530 Images It’s been two long years since Bella Hadid last slinked down the runway, but tonight, in Paris, she was back. The supermodel took a couple of days off from her recently adopted role as queen of the rodeo to join Anthony Vaccarello’s stellar SS25 Saint Laurent line-up, emerging out into […]
Bottega Veneta SS2521 Images Though Milan is the city of Italian heritage fashion, that doesn’t mean it likes to play it safe. Earlier in the week, we saw Prada offer up one of its most insane collections yet, one that included a deep dive into the archive and a preparation for life by algorithm. Next […]
Unlike Londonwhich only has a couple of blockbuster shows, Milan is full to the brim with billion-dollar houses which pull the biggest stars and put on the most extravagant shows. After Prada’s spectacular offering yesterday – which saw Raf and Mrs P wax lyrical about our internet algorithm obsession – today is the turn of […]
