I have been looking forward to seeing what Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell have been up to at DKNY this year. The creative directors really impressed me last year. Their collection was fresh, hip and very New York. I have been expecting something similar this time round! Honestly, it was a bit of an anti climax. The … Continue reading DKNY SS 2017

Also in the Paralympics ceremony a dress made using a 3D printer was brought to my attention. This is the first time I have heard of 3D printing in clothing. And I am still not sure how I feel about it. Does it defeat the craft of fashion? Is it cheating? Will this take off? … Continue reading FASHION IN 3D PRINT

As Beethoven play's in the background, and a surge of black black and more black and then a mix of dull earthy tones to end on, personally gave me the feel of a romantic war story. There was a strong balance of masculinity and femininity thought this show. Long maxi skirts with a long side … Continue reading Vera Wang – NY Fashion Week 2016 – AW
