PARIS FASHION WEEK A/W 2007-08: Givenchy
Riccardo Tisci won over his critics tonight with an elegant collection of high-waisted, wide-legged trousers, military jackets and dresses with trains (remember the sailors and mermaids from Couture?). Everyone was talking about Jessica Stam's jumpsuit...

Hussein Chalayan Show Live at 8:30pm
Another quick reminder that Hussein Chalayan's show will be broadcast live tonight via Swarovski Sparkes TV. Be there to witness it all first hand!
PARIS FASHION WEEK A/W 2007-08: Dries
Once each model had traversed the endless runway, they doubled back into a 'pitstop' prep area and then joined a visible queue to start all over again. As diverting as this was it gave the audience ample time to study the artfully draped clothes.

PARIS FASHION WEEK A/W 2007-08: The Show as its own Subject at Dries Van Noten
It's an idea that was first popularised by Isaac Mitzrai: cordon off one half of the catwalk space with a screen, through which the audience can view the show's preparation. You see here the clothesrails, the hair and make-up section and the 'backstage' photographers.

PARIS FASHION WEEK A/W 2007-08: Valentino
I appreciate this isn't what you have in mind when the tanned master of Roman Couture's name is invoked. But remember, this was our first foray into Val and that means 'miles away' in terms of tickets or pictures for you. Sadly, that equals no shots of immaculate satin eveningwear.... [more]

PARIS FASHION WEEK A/W 2007-08: Tao
Collections designed under the 'Comme' umbrella always have an intriguing theme. Where last night's CDG A/W was 'curiosity' (of the kind experienced by pubescent girls methinks), Tao's was 'magnetic body'. I've tried hard to think how that relates to the pink, fluro frills and sportswear that made up the collection.... [more]

PARIS FASHION WEEK A/W 2007-08: Comme des Garcons
What this rather dismal film of the final walk through of Rei Kawakubo's A/W show this evening can't begin to communicate is the wonderful, unexpected palette of the collection. From sugar pink stretchy nylon and plastic, to burnt orange velvet or even the sky blue eyeshadow, the wonky colours indicated... [more]

PARIS FASHION WEEK A/W 2007-08: Christian Dior
I've counted: today must be the 10th Dior R-T-W show I've attended. Previous shows have always felt a bit like suspension of disbelief for me: the clothes never appealed directly, so instead they had to be viewed through the filter of who one would imagine WOULD desire or wear them.... [more]

CAN YOU HELP?: Results Live!

Hussein Chalayan Live Feed on Wednesday!
After Hussein Chalayan's display of pyrotechnical prowess last season - which managed to wow the cynics as well as add new meaning to the everyday grievance, 'this skirt has a mind of its own' - we are all at a total loss at what to expect this time around. In... [more]

PARIS FASHION WEEK A/W 2007-08: Today! Watanabe!
The middle section of Watanabe's (slickly choreographed) S/S show was a bit of a nostalgia trip for us 30-somethings, as its chopped up cardigans, white shirts and flannel (?) dresses looked like what we wore to school in the 80s when being 'creative' with uniform rules. We would have been... [more]

PARIS FASHION WEEK A/W 2007-08: Yohji gives new technology a spin
Also last night, Yohji Yamamoto dabbled in technology, showing a sequence of crinolines with rotating skirts. It was a huge critical risk, coming so soon after Hussein Chalayan's animatronic collection last season, but you have to watch that kind of talk as the minute you think you've identified 'who did...

These peculiar cages you saw around the models at Viktor & Rolf last night were individual lighting rigs, complete with soundsystems. Each model could parade around with her own... [more]

Not one glimmer of the luxe, sexy glamour of S/S was in evidence at his show at the Ecole des Beaux Arts tonight. Instead he sent out this quiet collection of principally... [more]

PARIS FASHION WEEK A/W 2007-08: The Walk Through at Margiela
I hope to goodness that Benjamin's got better pictures, as the combination of low lighting and second row's played havoc with mine! The collection was a progression -if a simplication- of Spring/Summer. Concentrating mainly on the catsuits (with fluro tights) and the tailoring, Margiela built up a more extreme silhouette...

TRANSMISSIONS: Free
Ammelise Coste's solo presentation at Art: Concept at the Armory fair in New York makes a refreshing statement in the context of booths and sales pitches. Made with an unprecise air brush technique, it presents itself in the colours of the Tricolore.

PHONECARTE
We know, we know, you won’t be able to make Paris this season: you’ll be caught up in LA after Harvey’s post-Oscar do, won't you? Well, by fortunate coincidence, Lagerfeld muse Irina (Lazareanu) has very kindly stepped in to cover your backs next week. Another season means another PHONECARTE -... [more]
TRANSMISSIONS: Giles collaged
A nice little show of collages opened last night in the apartment gallery of Anke Kempkes, Broadway 1602. The work of Megan Sullivan included many references to dandyism, represented here by Giles Deacon's striking visage.

BEASTING: Day II Begins
If you were watching yesterday's antics on set and are expecting more of the same today, then get set for a change of tone. Most of Galliano's 'hairy mammoths' have now been captured in what Simon described this morning as the more 'aggressive' sequence of the story. Today's task will... [more]

BEASTING: Vaseline
If you're tuning in to our live stream today you may notice your vision going blurry from time to time. Don't worry, it's not you or the SHOWstudio camera but a Vaseline filter serving to protect your fragile mind. Apparently it's going to get quite rude.

The nature of the Beast
Nick called this morning to say that the title of our latest project should be changed from 'BEAST' to 'BEASTING'. This charming word apparently finds its origins in the less salubrious reaches of military practice. For those of you who might require further clarification, google can certainly offer some good...

BEASTING: Live Shoot Tomorrow!

From 11:00hrs (UK time)... [more]

Armani's Tailoring
Cut in greige fabrics, these eighties pieces from the retrospective exude the androgynous sensuality that Armani's tailoring has become famous for. Pictures come courtesy of Susie Rushton of The Independent in Milan.
Giorgio Armani retrospective at the Triennale di Milano
As I'm not in Milan this season, fantastic Susie Rushton agreed to give us a preview of the Armani retrospective last night. She reports: "How does he do it? On the same day as his signature show in Milan, at the monolithic Triennale space in the centre of Milan, Giorgio... [more]

LONDON FASHION WEEK A/W 2007-08: Aitor Throup
Also showing at MAN was -Simon Foxton's tip- Aitor Throup, who put on an intriguing static presentation. A great candidate for 'process' deconstruction, his work starts with a drawing, which he then develops into a gestural macquette, for which he then creates an outfit. All three stages were laid out... [more]

Siv Stodal was the stand out for me in this evening's Top Shop menswear showcase, 'MAN'.

The depicted look was one of a final... [more]

Inspired by the Danish painter Wilhelm Hammershoj, garments had a nineteenth century twist: often high necked with... [more]
