Browne is known for both his craftsmanship and his showmanship, and thus no one was surprised when they entered a Chelsea gallery to see that the designer had constructed a one-room schoolhouse (recent collections have been set in a 19th-century English hospital and a cathedral).

But back to the clothes.
New York Fashion week doesn’t wrap up until Thursday, so there’s still plenty of time for you to pack a bag and get on down to… whoa, whoa, whoa. “It helps to bring to life the Coach girl and the Coach woman, and who she is and what her life is like”, Luis said. You don’t know what’s going to come down the runway next. We like things that feel wrong, first of all, and (figuring out) how to turn that into something that feels kind of great.
Fashionistas are usually flagging by this time, but Jacobs tends to pull them out of the doldrums with a lively production.
Jeremy Scott’s fertile pop-art imagination and affection for the outrageous in fashion were on full display Monday at a high-octane, high volume show that melded elements as diverse as “Star Trek”, John Waters movies and Jackson Pollock. Alexander Wang offered the pajama look this weekend as well. This season, there’s been no shortage of creativity for unveiling collections – and getting people talking about them.
That’s exactly what happened, over and over, on Sunday evening at Opening Ceremony’s show. Beth proved in that models are available all totally different shapes & sizes when she strutted on to the runway sporting a particularly divulging gown. So it was doubly horrifying when a second model fell in precisely the same spot. Was it wet?
Givenchy Spring/Summer 2016 was all romance mixed with what felt like a stark juxtaposition with the models styling which consisted of sleek tucked-behind-the-ear hair and missing eyebrows and an industrial cityscape setting. It was the best recovery from a fall we’d ever witnessed, and some people oohed audibly at her aplomb. We elevated everything: “the quality, the fit, and we really focused on listening to the customer”.
SJP collaborated with Tracy on a line of footwear that made its debut during Sunday’s show. So what would a fashion show look like if it spoke to regular, non-fashion people?
Devin Harrison, model Shaun Ross, TV personality Kelly Osbourne, Footballer Jake Thomson, and photographer Nigel Barker attend Francesca Liberatore Spring 2016 during New York Fashion Week: The Shows at The Dock, Skylight at Moynihan Station on September 12, 2015 in New York City. The shoes ranged from demure to metallic to futuristic (clear vinyl-looking booties) to sparkly. Fashion has become entertainment. Derek Lam’s never-fussy designs are consistently deserving of attention for being on trend without being faddy and for their investment-worthy fabrications.
In his fourth collection for Coach, British creative director Stuart Vevers acknowledged this season’s mixed-print dresses and leather jackets were aimed at broadening interest in the brand’s clothing among young women. Ditto for his suede trench coat and blue bell-sleeved shirt dress.

Call it an all new Victoria Beckham. “I’ve already noticed this year, it’s sooner for him to be like, ‘I don’t have an appetite, ‘” she said, which is convenient, as she has other jobs to occupy her. It continued with loose chiffon dresses and culottes, with vibrant prints. Others will have pre-show events, or take a tour of the A-list front-row audience. The show is being simulcast in cinemas all over the world – UK-dwellers in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Belfast all have the opportunity head to select Odeon cinemas to pick up a free ticket to watch the show in real time.
