I’m not going to lie, when it comes to hair products I don’t tend to experiment much. Although maybe this is because I once stumbled across gold with Tigi’s Bed Head, and didn’t need to venture elsewhere. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Bed Head, but I hadn’t […]

Read MoreCathy Horyn’s Synopsis of The Men’s Shows
“The way I see it is that all the men’s designers have to prove to the consumers that they need these clothes. There must be a compelling reason, if your standards are high and your budget—well, isn’t budging. Givenchy? Not a believable vision. Galliano? Been there, Jack Sparrow. Dior Homme? […]
