The Best of LFW on Moda Operandi
As fashion month has finally ended, London Fashion Week seems like eons ago. But thankfully, Moda Operandi has reminded us just how much we loved what London’s bright young things had in store for us – or at least, will have in store next season. But Moda Operandi, being the wonderful and unique fashion hungry [...]
Todd Lynn Fall 2013
Todd Lynn describes his signatures as “Razor-sharp, androgynous tailoring.” Probably the understatement of the year, we feel, because his autumn collection wasn’t just razor sharp, it was precise, it was impeccable, and it was constructed so accurately we’re keen to place heavy focus on the fact that this is the future of suiting. But in [...]
Antipodium Fall 2013
Subversion was the key for Geoffrey J. Finch at Antipodium, no doubt about it. After all, citing that there was a focus on public and private surveillance, you couldn’t deny the subversion of a collection, which, in reality, was a new take on modern classics. Bright blue cardigans, lime green skirts, velvet dresses, velvet shoes, [...]
Julien Macdonald Fall 2013
Julien Macdonald hasn’t shown at London Fashion Week for the past two seasons, in order to focus on his client-based design service, Julien Macdonald Bespoke. But that’s the secret to his success, then, for his fall show. Why? Because once you get a taste of perfection, you don’t get rid of it, and you want [...]
John Rocha Fall 2013
There aren’t that many designers that would truly warrant couture status in London. No matter how much you do, it may be good, but it’s never couture status. But that’s if you don’t include John Rocha. If you do, then you have a different story. John Rocha’s collections are always completed to perfection. The fabric [...]
The Sounds of Fashion Week

So, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite tracks from the past weeks to share with you! Song of the week, heard at multiple shows, presentations and parties: “Losing You” – Solange [...]
Christian Wijnants: International Woolmark Prize Winner
There is no denying that Christian Wijnants is charmingly endearing. When I first catch a glimpse of Wijnants, he has just won the International Woolmark Prize at the ME Hotel in London, presented to him by a clamour of high profile judges including Franca Sozzani, Natalie Massenet, Victoria Beckham, and Diane von Furstenburg. He takes [...]
London Fashion Week: Aminaka Wilmont & Simone Rocha
Aminaka Wilmont Nothing – NOTHING – says it’s the fall and winter season like three things – black, leather, and fur. So when the models at the Aminaka Wilmont show came stomping out to the hard beats of a pounding soundtrack, it was clear that the Aminaka Wilmont wardrobe was the ultimate in what every [...]
London Fashion Week: Eugene Lin, Antonio Berardi & Erdem
Eugene Lin Eugene Lin’s masterful mind knows how to please the audience – following his ‘Judgement of Paris’ collection in September, the ‘Cupid de Locke’ collection was a perfect example of staying true to your design, but reinventing it for the new season, in order to give a prescription of what can only be described [...]
Marios Schwab Fall 2013
Calligrams – when the linguistic structure of poetry is transposed into visual form, fluently spoken along the lines of the body. And with artist Nja Mahdaoui by his side, it’s no wonder Marios Schwab had show-goers swooning and sighing post show. And with non-sensical letters and words being constructed, it seems Schwab is keen to [...]
