Mulberry’s S/S 2013 show, according to Creative Director Emma Hill, was a “blend of Mulberry’s English country heritage with a sorbet summer palette.”  With no shortage of celebrities in its front row (Alexa, Kate, et al), the cool British sensibility of the 1970s was present: menswear inspired suits, wide leg leather pants, and waistcoat jackets [...]

What would Burberry be without its trench coats (and trench coats be without Burberry)? And this season, they decided to remind us of that fact, with a fresh candy-coated array in lace, satin, and metallics. Taking a page from the label’s archive of corsets and capes, head designer Christopher Bailey describes the collection as being [...]

The reviews of Rodarte’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection are peppered with big name drops: Game of Thrones, Dungeons & Dragons, Warrior Princess. To which the Mulleavy sisters shake their heads. “Not just Dungeons & Dragons—all of them,” says Laura. “Fantasy role-playing games, especially the ’80s versions.”

Leave it to Phillip Lim to create a “Cut Up” collection that is entirely, unbelievably put together. Already a fashion industry darling, the designer managed to attract even more love this season with a move towards a notably youthful street aesthetic. Phillip cites the 1920s Dada-ist art movement as his inspiration (as well as the [...]

It may have been staged in the New York Public Library, but Jen Kao’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection was by no means a staid event. For starters, it began in the dark, with a piped-in song prompting the audience to wonder: “Is there life on Mars? You wonder as you walk under the heavens above.” What came next [...]

You can call it a party of proportions: Lengthwise, patternwise, materialwise and shapewise. Erin Beaty and Max Osterwise created a Spring/Summer collection so interesting and fun, capable to melt the iciest winter hearts and make them go through all the thirty-one looks over and over again. An overflow of, literally, multi-layered inspiration  went down the [...]

Victoria Bartlett’s VPL SS13 show at the Chelsea Piers themed “Exertion” was influenced by the Summer Olympics. Bartlett focused on a woman’s body, in a scientific and very specific way, researching kinesiology and musculature. Her signature elastics, activewear and cut outs were the backbone but this time she went way out of her comfort zone [...]

This September, Reed Krakoff celebrated in New York the imminent entrance of a non-autumnal season. This is why he borrowed autumn’s color palette and presented it lighter, painted flowing fabrics with its quite vibrance and finished them off with contrasting black leather details. It’s a spring collection that came in with tact and elegance. At [...]

Joseph Altuzarra is a master at how to dress a powerful woman, and that was tailored all over his Spring/Summer ’13 collection, which was composed strictly of knee-length skirts and pants. The show begun with daywear outfits: cape-like editor-style jackets, not-too-heavily printed skirts, gladiator knee-high sandals and deep-cut shirts. Later along came the skirt cuts [...]

Lacoste turns 80 next year—and we must say, it’s never looked better. Founded in 1933 and famous for its revolutionary tennis shirts, it’s only fitting that designer Felipe Oliveira Baptista took the label back to its origins.
