HUNTER ORIGINAL AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON ALASDHAIR WILLIS has a habit of making any type of weather seem appealing.

GILES AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON

GILES AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON Every so often, a fashion show is really a show.

JOSEPH AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON

JOSEPH AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON Fashion season, it bears repeating, is exhausting. Especially in winter, when you're running around to shows in about 14 layers of clothes. London hasn't been as mind-breakingly cold as New York, but still, the idea of huddling under a bunch of blankets has had a certain vivid sex appeal. Which made ...

ASHLEY WILLIAMS AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON

ASHLEY WILLIAMS AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON So if J.W. Anderson has supplanted the '70s security of those who like their consensus decade-based (by taking us into the trashily glam '80s), where does that put Ashley Williams? In this collection, the frighteningly young designer (cue intimations of mortality) seemed to view the beginnings of grunge, the late ...

ANYA HINDMARCH AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON

ANYA HINDMARCH AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON The jaunty traffic-cone-shaped tassels on the handbags said it all: This collection was an ode to the open road — paved rather than dirt — and to the “purity and efficiency” of its graphic signage, said Anya Hindmarch. The designer, who loves a spin on a motorway with lots ...

MICHAEL VAN DER HAM AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON

MICHAEL VAN DER HAM AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON COLLAGE confections are what Michael van der Ham does.

EMILIO DE LA MORENA AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON Emilio de la Morena may be the most frustrating designer in London.

ASHISH AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON

ASHISH AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON "I WAS inspired by Jane Fonda in Klute - a story of a bunch of high-class hookers who only dress for themselves," Ashish told us after parading his autumn/winter 2015 vision this afternoon, a vision complete with red glossy knee-high lace-ups, sequin-embroidered sweaters emblazoned with "SEX", and lots and lots of ...

MCQ ALEXANDER MCQUEEN AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON

MCQ ALEXANDER MCQUEEN AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR LONDON It's weird: When it came to the McQ by Alexander McQueen menswear collection for Fall '15, the lack of brand-specific extravagance and histrionics seemed something to relish. Today in the womenswear, however, that absence left more of a meh-shaped hole. There is nothing to fault in the execution of ...
