Connect the World: Burberry’s Christopher Bailey
In the latest video provided to us by CNN, Christopher Bailey of Burberry is profiled. Burberry’s chequered pattern is instantly identifiable around the world: it’s a fact that the fashion house is very proud of. The British label was founded in the mid-19th century by 21-year-old Thomas Burberry as a store that sold […]
Different sides to autumn menswear at MAN, E. Tautz, Cassette Playa and James Long
The MAN collective show had New Power Studio (distinguished by way-out headgear, a mask and a child model), Felipe Rojas Llanos (a real contrast, with back-to-basics T-shirts, coats and jackets, with black the base again), and Martine Rose (layered coats and gold vests). New Power Studio distracted us a little too much with spectacle, and […]

London Fashion Week: from Mary Katrantzou’s opulence to Ashish Gupta’s sequinned Britain
Marios Schwab took the art of broguing on to clothing as opposed to shoes, using the technique on leather dresses, and used pearls around necklines and busts to continue the theme. We liked the use of leather throughout this collection, on black coats and deep red trousers, all done tastefully. Irwin & Jordan actually […]

Other angles on Unique and Matthew Williamson at London Fashion Week
ITN has its take on the Topshop Unique show—hinting that the Cruella de Vil inspiration was a dig at Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. Not really a conclusion we were drawn to make ourselves. Matthew Williamson is known for his celebrity friends, and Yasmin Le Bon, Twiggy and Poppy Delevigne reveal some personal secrets about […]
Nicole Farhi’s autumn–winter 2011–12 collection, shown Sunday night at the Royal Opera House, had dark shades and masculine cuts, designed for a confident woman. The tailoring and styling were top-notch, something one can depend on from this designer. If only it were that clear at Unique: Louise Gray’s dots we could understand, but dalmatian-print […]
