Paris Fashion Week: Damir Doma A/W 2010
Photo: Ernest Aregall The Damir Doma presentation last night was one of the best of this Fashion Week, turning the tables on everything we had come to expect. Even the rather classic Garage Turenne seemed a completely different place. If the crowd that gathered in record time is anything to go by, it appeared that... »
Paris Fashion Week: Tillmann Lauterbach A/W 2010
Photo: Ernest Aregall German-born Tillman Lauterbach is the epitome of the European designer, having grown up all over Europe. His silhouettes are excellent for every day, but they are by no means boring. Abstract prints, collarless shirts and jackets, structured trousers and wool leggings give plenty of options to individualise this wardrobe. Beige and green dominated... »

Anna Wintour in first row, Kate Lanphear in second row and yours truly dorking it out further back but Akris was an awesome show: tailored to perfection silhouettes and muted colours. Jackets and coats were just that side of puffy to keep warm and fabrics showed a lot of work to get the patterns... »
Mademoiselle’s Fashion Week pt. 1: Lutz, Bernhard Willhelm, Tsumori Chisato, M+F Girbaud
Thursday, my Fashion Week started with Lutz: Lots of grey and black, long iron-flat hair and three songs looped at the Mk2 at the new National Library. Friday, Bernhard Willhelm: Maxi dresses, artistic elements and funny headdresses (houses, dollar bills). On the feet, stilettos or multi-buckle boots stride on the runway. Saturday, Tsumori Chisato to start... »
Gustavo Lins Collection 012
After having studied as an architect, Gustavo Lins took up fashion design without abandonning his first love. Between his hands, the noblest materials like silk jersey, cashmere and butter-soft leather become the media on which he builds his trademark style. From his apprenticeship with some of Fashion’s illuminati, he brings couture details and perfectionism to... »
