On the Runway Blog: Hussein Chalayan: Fashion Sparked by Wit
Sep 30th
A good designer is like an attentive waiter: he is there to serve his guests and quietly depart. Fashion, as Cristobal Balenciaga famously and sourly observed at the end of his career, is a dog’s life. Ah, but if only he had known Hussein Chalayan, he might have at least More >

Uniqueness spring 2012.
It’s a pleasure to see Alessandra Facchinetti back on the runway. You may remember her from her brief moment at Gucci, in 2004, when she succeeded Tom Ford. Then, following Valentino’s retirement, she took over the creative direction at that house. It was, let us say, an More >

Sep 29th
