Vivienne Westwood Fall 2019: Fashion Protest

Vivienne Westwood’s Fall 2019 runway show was all about graphic protest through fashion, although Vogue’s Luke Leitch’s review was more a protest of the protest than a review…he discussed literally nothing shown but rather complained about being sold clothes while being “preached” to about sustainability.

Antonio Berardi SS18 Spring/Summer 2018 SS18

Antonio Berardi SS18 Spring/Summer 2018 was a sophisticated collection- layered hemlines, bias cut draped assemetrical tops and dresses, unique blazers, cut-outs, silhouette and proportion play, and contrasting sheer and opaque fabrics made for an elevated and well executed fashion show.

Can it be? Are the English regaining their senses, or actually developing a fashion sense?Ashish Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 was a massive improvement from last season’s wacky show that featured black guys in womenswear!  The show was monochromatic, with matching outfits, afros, lip color, and shoes, which I think represents this brand becoming more salable,…

Agi & Sam London Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2016 FW16 LFW

Athletic inspired, color blocking, long sleeves, and unique details characterized the Agi & Sam London Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection. It was a modern collection, and while I love the layering of some of the looks, there is a bulkiness to the silhouette of the oversized garments, which is intentional but not a good look….
