London Fashion Week kicked off with Top Man’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection, which put to rest all of my doubts and fears about embodying the 70’s trend, which it seems to resonate as a continuation of the SS16 trend, as well as a touch of grunge and 90’s, what with the destroyed denim.

Lady Gaga featured on one of the many covers of V Magazine, which also include McQueen, and Karl Lagerfeld and Hedi Slimane- who photographed one another. Each cover is really chic, and truly as iconic as the icons it portrays.
