Volumes are key at Lutz: the delicate art of balancing the German designer's signature chunky knits to create a collection that is neither bulky or lumpy. This he achieved this afternoon by setting cream, woollen cardigans with snaking button edges or Lutz's staple knee-length scarves against silky slips and translucent... [more]

Some designers do a quick wave from the entrance at the back of the catwalk to acknowledge their applause. Not Vivenne Westwood: the first lady of British fashion stalks the full length of the runway and laps it up when she gets to the photographers pit at the end (this... [more]

He doesn't take himself too seriously, that Bernhard Willhelm. His vision for Autumn/Winter, for instance, involves women springing from cardboard boxes cut to resemble trees, girls locked into ski training machines, dancing to Coldplay cover songs rendered on a mini electric piano, two men dressed as walking rolls of linoleum...

It is testimony to the reverence for Undercover designer Jun Takahashi that nobody even cracked a smile at the Scooby Doo mummy-come-Star Wars sand people styling. But you could have heard a pin drop.
Over the PA, the words 'you can't reach me, you can't hurt me, I can suck you dry' alerted the audience at this afternoon's Viktor & Rolf to the fact that the Dutch duo were back to their unsettling best. To the steady pulse of Bruce Nauman's 1975 spoken... [more]
Those who love their Yohji romantic, with voluminous bolts of fabric gathered in soft folds, will be delighted to see the Autumn/Winter '06-7 collection he unveiled at the colossal tent in the Tuilleries last night.

With such a great proportion of current fashion image-making occuring 'out of camera' and in the retoucher's studio, it's a rare and welcome treat to poke around the darkroom of someone who prints their own work. Leafing through some intriguing new projects by Nigel Shafran at his East London studio,... [more]

To use a word much-favoured by last night's hot ticket Giles Deacon, a 'jolly' invite sporting Ellsworth Kelly's technicolor 'Spectrum Colors Arranged by Chance VII, 1951' grid painting forecast that we were in for a seachange. As the canvas marked a departure for the artist from realism into his -... [more]
Last night's premiere of the SCORE movie was a resounding success. The experience of being there, confronted with a magnificent, multi-paneled screen and Grace Jones's voice booming across the grand interior of the Lindley Hall was certainly impressive.

Two designers that have concentrated -nay obsessed- on the silhouette over the past two seasons are Ann-Sofie Back and Marios Schwab. Though, to different effect. Ann-Sofie appears to have undergone something of a consolidation over the past year, where the many challenging aspects of her aesthetic and approach have been... [more]
Through set designer Andy Hillman's impressive installation, based on Salvador Dali’s surreal vision of Hollywood icon Mae West, models stepped out to present Peter Jensen's A/W '06 collection.

After season upon season of 'pretty' and 'lady' its a welcome relief to see collections hardening up with a touch of high-octane glamour. Though Richard Nicoll said backstage that his Autumn/Winter '06 presentation started with Victorian workwear as a reference, the finished sihouettes spoke of 70s Parisian glamour more associated...

Gareth Pugh's first solo show was the hot ticket of the day (and many an important industry figure was being turned back on the door as a result of the hype). We've not kept track of which of you reponded to his call for help on the FORUM, but perhaps... [more]
Managed to grab an obliging model (Nick) backstage at Ann-Sofie Back's presentation at last night's MAN showcase to model one of the styling flourishes of second menswear collection under the 'BACK' title. I know there has been a 'men-in-sandals' string on the FORUM: how about men in fishnets? Though her... [more]
Though you are all encouraged to give information about yourselves when registering to post on the FORUM, many choose to conceal themselves under pseudonyms with scant personal details. All credit to 'Shaw', then, who posed for a 'blog shot' when he came in this afternoon to show his book and... [more]
There has been a lot of 'fashion or porn?', 'porn or fashion?' debate over the past five or so years, where industry pundits have attempted to gauge the influence of pornography on fashion photography (cue plenty license for image-makers to flirt with the illicit like naughty schoolboys [and they are...
