Backstage at Galliano

The models having their make up removed. The party was in the adjacent room, we chatted to Harry Goodwins from Models 1 while drinking Moet.
We're assuming the Bolly had run out by that point.

Paris Fashion Week AW2011 Review pt 1

Louis Vuitton: Orange & greys. Double breasted. Black starkness.

Kris Van Assche: Loose, angular suiting. Zips. A restrained palette of blacks, greys & caramel but this is AW after all.

Dior Homme: Also designed by Kris Van Assche & very nice it was too. Set in a stark white room with P.Diddy on the front row. Following on from the fluidity of the previous season but with added, thicker layers in cashmere. A hint of red & amish style hats.

John Galliano: Not as much flesh as we're accustomed to. A sort of modish, sixties Brit vibe with Beatles style hair & pea coats that descended into 'backstage at the theatre', nodding it's head at the current trend for ballet russian influences mixed with turbans & full make up.

Great coat on the right.

Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci: Took over an hour to start. Rottweiler prints. Brown check.

Love the shorts with tights, we're all over that already.

Lovely Things

Why read the news, when you can wear it!

Oh Christmas Tree

We give in. It may only be early to mid November but we have been bitten by the Christmas bug (we're actually thinking about Valentine's Day such is the nature of this industry) so we are pleased to announce that John Galliano has designed Claridges Christmas tree once again. We like that he has deviated away almost completely from traditional themes, instead taking inspiration from 'Under The Sea'.
