Celine Fall 2012
Celine Fall 2012
05/03/2012In an intimate presentation in Paris, Phoebe Philo as you would expect has created a Fall Celine wardrobe that will leave women all over the world drooling. When speaking of her collection the pregnant designer laughed “Ergh, I’d rather not say anything this season, just write what you see.” For Fall the pants are a little more voluminous and cropped at the ankle, the coats oversized, statement knits and colour-blocked furs are tied together by practical iPad envelopes and mink bags.

Kenzo Fall 2012
Kenzo Fall 2012
05/03/2012Kenzo have an ability to remind us that fashion is actually fun, and their second season showing was no different. The collection played with billowing, wide-leg pants, high cinched waists and plenty of volume in sleeves and skirts. Luscious metallics were effortlessly paired with fur, velvet, satin, wool and of course those Tiger print sweaters. Spanish art director Juan Gatti created the gorgeous fruit prints which were intentioned as a playful take on florals.

Frank Leder Interview
Here is a designer who really focuses on the unseen aspect of design, from researching a concept for a collection to sourcing the best materials that fit his ideas, to using the best factories to construct the garments. Having organically found his place in the market, this is defined by Leder's modest personality which shows through every aspect of the clothing he makes. What excites me about the label and the Spring/Summer 2012 collection is Leder's ability to reference, while maintaining his own identity.

Damir Doma Fall 2012
Damir Doma Fall 2012
01/03/2012Damir Doma described his Fall 2012 collection as "Modern Renaissance," with the designer making some quite obvious comments about the renaissance aspect, however overall presenting what I believed to be a very wearable collection. Of course we probably won't be seeing every woman in some of the statement pieces like the quilted leather tabard tomorrow, but as usual the tailoring was impeccable, the colour palette sumptuous and the play of volume and drapery was masterful.

SOME/THINGS Interview
The publishing industry is changing, and while the masses are calling out 'Print is Dead', Monika Belskyte is telling them its alive and well just as loud. SOME/THINGS Magazine, it's agency and gallery space put a new twist on traditional publishing business models and while other magazines look to reduce the cost of production or increase their revenue from advertising, SOME/THINGS does the opposite by providing a product that is truly collectable and true to the magazines philosophy and direction.

Jil Sander Fall 2012
Jil Sander Fall 2012
27/02/2012The crowd at Raf Simons final showing for Jil Sander after the announcement that he is to step down from the helm of the fashion house, was as you would expect - nothing short of spectacular. Proving that Simons is in an absolute league of his own, the collection was unashamedly feminine, elegant and refined. The designer apparently received a standing ovation which continued until Simons re-emerged for an emotional encore.
