Oh, hi, Aymeline, looking gorgeous in Lanvin ruffles! The Lanvin show – marking Alber Elbaz’ triumphant ten year anniversary at the house – was nothing short of epic. From the moment we arrived on a runway filled with cake…

Nothing like starting the day off with a spot of Roland Mouret at the Westin. Such a beauteous collection: pale egg blue dresses (Roland called it a Dior blue – cue the next stage of the CD rumour mill)…

There was definitely something film noir-y going on at AF Vandevorst. A David Lynch-esque curtain opened to reveal a model in a belted Mac, hidden from view under a fur scarf and Stephen Jones hat, bathed in a crisp…

Best soundtrack of the season (best soundtrack of all times, quite possibly) goes to the Rickmeister. Rick played Zebra Katz’ Ima Read (‘Ima take that bitch to college/Ima give that girl some knowledge/Ima proofread that bitch) on a backdrop…

The lightest and sharpest of pleats in shimmering crystals and some of the best fox furs we’ve seen all season. Sharon Wauchob’s best collection to date.

The Manish show was a brightly coloured haze. Literally. A crew of graffiti artists worked on a mural as the models walked past in signature Manish – neon ra-ra skirts and electric blue fox furs – leaving guests inhaling…

Guillaume Henry’s wizardry at Carven is steadily going from amazing to even more amazing. You can’t tell from our photography, but  skater-skirt dresses and neat blouses were covered in rich, vibrant Hieronymus Bosch prints, and the medieval feeling was…

Martine Sitbon knitted up a storm at Rue du Mail, resulting in some seriously lovely pieces with a webbed, cage-like effect. Parisian chic at its best.

Nothing to start out Paris Fashion Week like a bit Dries. We hit up Hotel de Ville and got Driesy with the master’s incredible collection of prints that he’d found at the V&A. Loved every second. The fur was…

Friggin’ L-O-V-E a James Long show. Twinset-wearing Long boys are the best.

Totes hawt presentation from Mr Green. A coat with a hidden detachable mitten? Yes please. And major props to Will for only using fabrics that are made in England. Save our factories, y’all! In fact, the only thing that…

The MAN show is always such an excellent opportunity to look at hot boys menswear. And what a turnout we had this season – best MAN in ages, I think. Shaun Samson opened with a kick-ass collection…

Ah, menswear day at LFW. It’s such a jolly and relaxed day. And so very civilised. After all, no one does heritage menswear quite like the British. Savile Row, where would we be without you? Stopping by at Gieves…

The womenswear part of LFW ended on a very high disco note at Meadham Kirchhoff. And waiting for the show to start was, like, half the show. Everyone was wearing MK. Including me. (Yes, I am a fangirl.) The…

You can always rely on Holly Fulton for a full-on art deco print, and this season was no different. Come autumn/winter, Holly’s girl will be rocking some very loud hot pink and turquoise ensembles as she heads off to…

After being stuck in traffic for an hour (where’s Dex Dexter in his helicopter when you need him, goddammit), we finally arrived at Roksanda’s show at the Institute of Directors on Pall Mall. It was well worth the traffic…

If only all mornings started with a bit of Mary Katrantzou amazingness, I think I might be better at getting up before 10am. Seriously, this girl knows her craft. If you thought the last three seasons were good, Mary…

Look at Nobis in that gown. Like, I honestly can’t find words for how much Giles blew my mind. I’m just going to throw it out there and say this was his best show to date. So haunting, not…

After my phone died at Burberry Prorsum, an angel – aka the lovely Sasha Wilkins of Liberty London Girl – appeared in front of my tired eyes and offered to squeeze me in next to Hilary…

So, you can just imagine how the show production meeting at Burberry Prorsum went: “I was thinking maybe we could make it rain. But while the sun is still shining. And then we could make it snow. But, like,…

Oh, Erdem. Perfect is the word that comes to mind when describing your autumn/winter collection. I’m hard pressed to think of anyone right now who explores and challenges fabrics the way Erdem does. Majorly beautiful stuff. This time round,…

I had major hair envy at Michael van der Ham. Nothing like throwing a little Veronica Lake on it. Van der Ham totally got his swagger on this season with a succession of sexy little frocks and plenty of…

I’m sure Chris Kane is getting quite bored by everyone’s comments on his clever ways with a bad taste reference. But his knack for elevating the slightly yuck to the brilliantly desirable – and keeping a bit of the…

A fittingly grand venue for Antonio Berardi, who sure can cut and sculpt a dress. He brings the glamour, this one. And you’ve got to love the Berardi woman, who breezes through life on a pair of the highest…

Peter Pilotto quoted Japanese Light Trucks as a starting point for the duo’s autumn/winter escapades, so cue frantic Googling of said light trucks. One word: wow. They’re like Transformers on Las Vegas steroids after the crew from Pimp My…

Just when we thought we were about to keel over and die from a very long show day, Acne came to the rescue with a nice Campari cocktail and some very nice clothes. Jonny got a bit kinky this…

Junior Madsen got very excited at Matthew Williamson when his girlfriend Olivia Palermo turned up. Olivia, should you ever tire of your actual boyfriend, I know a Danish boy who’d like to show you a real good time. He…

Absolutely smashing show from Louise Gray. The colour hit you like a truck (that’s a good thing, obviously) and then the brocade, bouclé and prints exploded like firecrackers. Or maybe like cherrybombs, via the sizzling reds and hot pinks.…

It couldn’t have been more scenic: as we took our seats at Jonathan Saunders atop an office building in EC2, the sky was still a lovely faint blue colour. And as the show started, the sun went down, leaving…

What a magnificent backdrop to Jonathan Saunders’ beautiful show. I couldn’t resist snapping a picture of the wonderful Mr Chris Moore shooting the show from his own spot away from the photographers’ pit. Check out the new issue of…

I think we should all take a moment during this post to thank Sir Philip Green. Because Topshop rocks. And NewGen rocks so hard. Thank you, Sir Philip, for extending the NewGen sponsorship scheme for another ten years. And…

I think I want to marry Thomas Tait. He friggin’ name-checked Buffy for his autumn/winter inspirations. A world of epic. And the setting – green turf and gloomy lighting – was really quite Buffy hanging out at the graveyard,…

Really love what Craig Lawrence does with a pair of knitting pins. Every silhouette was sexy and on point, in beautiful coppery tones and patterns inspired by that cornerstone of good taste: coach seats. Props to Craig for picking…

Welcome to Richard Nicoll’s factory, y’all! After Mulberry, we strolled down to the ICA to hit up Nicoll’s presentation, which took us behind the scenes with a live shoot, a bustling hair and makeup table in the middle of…

Now, I’m the first to declare my undying love for all things dark and gloomy – two words that tend to describe Todd’s corner of the universe – but O.M.G. the Toddster did the most beauteous, rich colours this…

Giddy up! Kinder (no Eggugini jokes this season, I promise) took us to the wild west via some very crisp, polished pieces. Obsessed with the bucking bronco prints and the DM loafers. I am on cool flat shoe watch…

A very jolly show from Mr Henry Holland, who also sent out this season’s most delightful invite: a pink and purple houndstooth iPhone cover, which, for the first time ever, made me well jel of iPhone people. Totes amazing,…

You know what instantly puts me in a good mood? Being at The Savoy. And you know what puts me in an even better mood? A great overcoat. Three cheers for Joanna Sykes, who is really hitting her stride…

Ah, yes, we take brilliant catwalk pictures, but hopefully y’all are acquainted with the eminent Mr Chris Moore, as we like to leave runway photography to the professionals. And do pop over to Catwalking to study Junior Rocha’s collection…

Major fans of Team SIBLING here at DANSK. Cozette, Sid and Joe FTW! Katie Grand was on styling duty this season, and the Portico show space was PACKED. There really are no better jumpers on this planet than…

Thanks to some small miracle, we actually managed to be early for Daks’ 9am show. Whatever will be next? Posting about shows before fashion week is over? Daks played to their heritage strengths in their a/w collection: lots of…

Starting off London Fashion Week with a Preen presentation is becoming quite the DANSK tradition. So this morning, Junior Madsen and I got out of bed before nine (shock horror!) and hit up Preen at St Martins Lane Hotel,…

Our condolences go out to Whitney’s family and friends. We’ll miss her a lot.…

While I like to tell myself we still only have two seasons a year, I made an attempt to face pre-collection reality yesterday and stopped by at Relative MO with Junior Madsen. I’m rather glad we did…

Biggest congratulations to the amazing Mr Jonathan Saunders on winning the 2012 BFC / Vogue Designer Fashion Fund!

KVA really aced it at Dior Homme this season. He also aced the previous two seasons, but the third time always feels like something special. It was, by all accounts, a collection that will go down in history…

I mean, going to a Kenzo show is a bit like visiting really rich family members. Your life really sucks when you leave. For their debut menswear show, Humberto Leon and Carol Lim had brought in an L.A.…

Obvz impossible to take pictures at John Galliano, but you gotta applaud my effort. And in my defence, it was really smoky in there and they had garden torches and all kinds of snaz. Military was the motto of…

Over to Boris Bidjan Saberi, which is rather a fabulous name. I wouldn’t be averse to having a name like that. I wonder if mine sounds as exotic in other languages (strictly rhetorical, don’t answer). So yeah, more looks…

Leave it to me to feature the one really black look from a collection packed with colour. But I can’t help it. Dries makes the perfect black coat (and Linda Farrow the perfect Dries sunglasses to go with it).…

Not so much with the Blackberry camera friendly light or model speed, were we Misters V&R? But I did manage to capture this eye-popping red look (yes-yes, ‘capture’ may be overstating it but hit up Catwalking.com if you want…

I’m certainly not averse to a bit of Issey on a Thursday morning, especially if the show starts out colourful and slowly graduates towards the black. (It illustrates the mood of a show-goer rather excellently, one might note.) Issey’s…

For his debut with a full-scale show in Paris, Phillip Lim brought some New York ease to the French shores, complete with a loft-like atmosphere that would make any 1970/80s artists swoon. Welcome to 3.1 gay Paree!

And just like that Lacroix went mega. Sacha Walckhoff and newly appointed consultant Jay Massacret pumped up the Lacroix and paid homage to the master’s couture, Vogue’s 120th anniversary, Ab Fab (Patsy was sampled in the soundtrack) and Lady…

François Lesage has passed away today. The master embroiderer leaves behind an astounding legacy – it is hard to imagine fashion without the man so infinitely synonymous with couture’s magical universe.

In between discussing Game of Thrones, Christmas holidays, London swimming pools, Michael Pitt’s hair, lethal interns, if Britney would ever hit up the Joiners Arms, and which Madsen went to most RMO shows (I, like The…

Victoria Beckham and I go way back. In fact, I had more Victoria cards in my Spice Girls Collectible Card collection than any other Spice Girl, and when someone asked me who I wanted to be when…

Walking into Holland and Holland is a bit like dying and going to heaven. That is, if your heaven consists of tweed for days, guns and general hunting amazingness. I know mine does, anyways. Tally Ho, y’all!…

Come spring, everything will be better down where it’s wetter. (No, I’m not being unusually rude on quiet Thursday, I’m quoting The Little Mermaid. Seriously, people. You’re too much.) And Holly Fulton’s aquatic masterpieces are so up…

Oh, Harvey Pickles, we heart you so much. Not only do you not frown upon me doing some pre-flatwork lesson shopping in my jodhpurs and dirty boots (thank you for setting up shop right around the corner from…

I always thought KCD sounded like the fan-made abbreviation of the name of a really hot early-1990s boy band… a thought which instantly gets more alluring when you see the people who work there. Like, all…

L-U-V T-C-S. Not just because there’s a friggin’ Martini spritzer waiting for you when you arrive at the press day (nothing makes me more grateful), but also because you get to revisit such incredible things as the…

Our press day tour also took us by the lovely girls at DeVetta, where we ooh’ed and ah’ed over Brora’s cashmere offerings – not least their brilliantly playful collaboration with Louise Gray. It was the day of the…

Press day at Karla Otto is a pretty epic experience. Clothes for days, y’all, and an army of amazing KO’ers to take you through it all. One of our biggest highlights was Valentino – Maria Grazia and…

Olivier Theyskens doesn’t know this yet, but we’re all set to get married at a lavish midnight ceremony this winter. I’ll be wearing one of his ah-mah-zing gothic-romantic gowns for Theyskens’ Theory. Olivier will be looking dreamy…

Extending a shout-out to Starworks’ newest addition, the dapper Oliver Cooke, who gave us the most entertaining press day tour of the day – plus lots of eye candy such as Mr Kirkwood’s dreamy new works…

The buying at Browns is all kinds of amazing, something which the press day only served to remind us of. It took quite some time to get Junior Madsen to leave the Dries rail, and I got a…

Totes feeling the suede fringe bags at Salvatore Ferragamo, who opened the doors to the Kipling Suite at Browns Hotel for the seasonal Ferragamo fest. Also loving the seahorse bracelets – spring/summer’s Ariel theme can’t come soon enough.…

Oh, hi, Liberty press day, making us add even more things to our spring/summer shopping list. We’re still crushing on the b Store x Liberty collaboration, and Junior Madsen got his daily Dries fix.

Last night I spent a good two hours on LuisaViaRoma.com staring at a pair of Lanvin goth combat hiking boots (is that over-describing them?) and realised that I may have a slight Lanvin abuse problem. So at…

Junior Madsen and I are OBSESSED with Revenge. We just can’t get enough of it. Revenge feels so good. (As in, the ABC show.) We may be planning a blog post or two about it, especially now that…

Always a delight to swing by at Rupert Sanderson HQ, where the gorgeous Alex had put on a very pretty press day. I am helplessly in love with these pastel suede beauties and I’m quite tempted to pull a…

Totes loving us some floral Sportmax at the Max Mara press day. So chic, no?

Our four (nearly five) week press tour (we try to give those Twilight kids a run for their money) also took us to Sonia Rykiel, where the lovely Chris from the Paris office had whipped up a storm…

Our press day marathon took us to IPR the other day, where we gushed about new client addition Camilla Skovgaard’s super hawt new collection, about Sandro – which keeps getting better – and of course, about Christopher Shannon,…

Our favourite Village Press girls Lauren and Suzi gave us the grand tour at their press day Friday, where we were introduced to some rather amazing Alias jewellery (which I’ve dubbed ‘goth viking’, in homage to myself),…

We popped by the Diesel press day where the handsome Sirs Richard and Carl treated us to a preview of some amazing soft leather jackets (mint green and mustard) and lots of dreamy denim.

ASOS and I have a hot and steamy online relationship. Okay, I also see Dlisted and Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber on the side, but you know what I’m saying, ASOS. You and me, baby, we’re…

Adding to the increasingly long list of stuff we want need for next season: House of Holland for Superga – hell to the yeah – and those amazing textured Givenchy glasses.
