Naughty but nice is the best way to describe Bora Aksu’s show. With a Marilyn Manson soundtrack and Jodie Harsh perched in the front row, it seemed Aksu was determined to misbehave. The audience at the On|Off show at the Science Museum certainly seemed to enjoy it, giving Aksu one of the most enthusiastic applauses I have heard all Fashion Week. Although that could...

There was much to love about Ashley Isham’s collection. Models with quiff’s that Prince would be proud of strutted their way down the catwalk in a selection of gowns influenced by 40s and 80s glamour. Goddess gowns – Isham’s signature style – reigned supreme, with Grecian style frocks in wispy white. This was clearly a man having fun with texture, as gown...

In the UK Opening Ceremony is seen as one of those legendary stores. I guess in much the same way that Dover Street Market is for non-Londoners. With the launch of the e-commerce site, we thought it couldn’t get any more exciting. Now we could get a piece of the iconic store for ourselves without the pricey airfare. Well it just got better, Chloe Sevigny has just...

Fashion week is on so let the front row gossip begin. Now we heard from someone who knows someone who heard from someone that Grazia is saying that Gareth Pugh is definitely moving to Dior Homme. There have been numerous rumours surrounding this possible move. Ever since big fashion boss’ daughter Delphine Arnault, daughter of LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault sat front...

What: Qasimi after-party Where: The Cuckoo Club Why: Sadly I can’t tell you why you should have been at the Qasimi after-party because despite having an invitation, my friends and I were still denied entry. “The venue must have been packed” you’re thinking. No, it was hardly even full. The reason we were given for being denied entry was because it was one...

With a jazz inspired soundtrack and each model sporting a grey silk skull cap, there was more than a whiff of the 1940s at the Maria Grachvogel show. The collection was staggeringly elegant. Halter dresses, flared catsuits and trousers, pussy bow blouses, in tweeds, silks and organzas, adorned with feathers, pleats and frills, just seemed to drip off the models bodies....

Aptly named ‘Exotic’, Modernist’s new collection incorporates natural and man-made materials ranging from Crocodile to goat and silk to cashmere, contrasting in a way that produces sumptuous texture, whilst not detracting from the structured shapes and clean lines that point to one half of the design duo’s (Abdul Koroma) previous education in...

While the majority of London’s fashion elite battled for a seat in the main tent outside the natural history museum, a cutting-edge crowd was gathering at the Vauxhall fashion scout tent to watch shows from up and coming London designers. The day kicked off 45 minutes late with a lacklustre show from ethical designer Julia Smith. A confused collection that combined...

Victoria’s latest collection caused quite a stir once again at New York Fashion Week. Still journalists are shocked that she can actually design, that she is actually good at it, and that she knows what she’s talking about. Her last line sold out in only a matter of moments, and I am sure this collection will be no different. Net-a-Porter have just announced that...

This London Fashion Week has been a strange one, nothing happening quite as you expect. Usually mundane designers are creating kooky collections, whilst the ‘ones to watch’ are falling flat on their faces. Then there was the whole Lily Cole supermodel army at an off schedule show (Qasimi), it has been very strange indeed. But none weirder than my experience at Peter...
