By Haleema SS Effortless art prints, floaty silhouettes and a romantic colour palette, the collection embodied all the characteristics of a carefree spirit. As Kaia Gerber opened the show in a light, grid-checkered shirtdress, it was clear relaxed silhouettes were going to be a staple of the collection. And so they were as mid-calf andContinue reading “A cue that there is clarity in clothes: Chloé Fall/Winter 2020/2021 RTW”

A Plaid Verdict: Dior Autumn/Winter 2020/2021 RTW
By Haleema SS Hung above guests’ head, the statements from designer Maria Grazia Chiuri were strong. One read “Women are the moon that moves the tides”, another “When women strike the world stops” and the word “Consent” was repeated numerously. Each message flashed bright colours and felt incredibly relevant in the week of a winContinue reading “A Plaid Verdict: Dior Autumn/Winter 2020/2021 RTW”
An Equal Opportunity For Flamboyance: Versace Fall/Winter 2020/2021 RTW
By Haleema SS For Donatella Versace’s first combined women’s and men’s show, she did exceptionally well. The feminine and masculine expressions of sexuality blended like butter. Pairings was a running theme as from the very start of the show, two blondes were in loosely the same version of the black suit. Hers was a mini-dressContinue reading “An Equal Opportunity For Flamboyance: Versace Fall/Winter 2020/2021 RTW”
A Lively Mix Of Sportswear And Sensibility: Emilio Pucci Fall 2020 RTW
By Haleema SS For Emilio Pucci’s Fall 2020 ready-to-wear collection, the brand embraced guest designer Christelle Kocher and the collaboration has proven to be nothing short of innovative. The show’s venue was a magnificent though dilapidated church installed with fluorescent lights. An odd choice for a vibrant collection. Furthermore, with Pucci jet set in producingContinue reading “A Lively Mix Of Sportswear And Sensibility: Emilio Pucci Fall 2020 RTW”
There’s Softness in Strength: Prada Fall/Winter 2020/2021 RTW
By Haleema SS In a red-lit central courtyard which featured a red model of Atlas in the centre, Miuccia Prada presented a Greek mythological abstract which evoked a sense of urgency. The walls were painted black with purple flowers and curved white lines. And, the floors were kept monochrome with parallel lines. Mrs. Prada toldContinue reading “There’s Softness in Strength: Prada Fall/Winter 2020/2021 RTW”
A Devotion To Drama: Gucci Fall/Winter 2020 RTW
By Haleema SS “The Ritual” were the words Alessandro Michele used to define the show, ‘theatrical’ is mine. The catwalk show was flipped inside out. Backstage became the main stage. There were two, three or more people working on each model which implied fashion is never a singular experience. The circular stage moved like aContinue reading “A Devotion To Drama: Gucci Fall/Winter 2020 RTW”
Behind the Madness There is Leather: Rejina Pyo Autumn/Winter 2020 RTW
By Haleema Khan In a long, dark railway arch, Pyo’s collection portrayed a structured reality but in an enhanced way. With the immense use of leather and gold chain belts, the show oozed a nineties feel but with a chic edge. The fabrications of the clothes drew my attention- there was lots of leather, boxyContinue reading “Behind the Madness There is Leather: Rejina Pyo Autumn/Winter 2020 RTW”
Sharp and Sensual: Proenza Schouler Fall Winter 2020/2021 RTW
By Haleema SS To simply analyse the stylish show, off-one-shoulder is on. Sharp silhouettes, asymmetric frocks and oversized blazers are fashion’s embodiment of strength in style. Plush, puffy coats, draping capes and dresses in a silky fabric express a subdued yet sensual undertone. What is the message being radiated?Wearable chic is a world of itsContinue reading “Sharp and Sensual: Proenza Schouler Fall Winter 2020/2021 RTW”
Of Aristocracy and Frills: Zimmermann Autumn/Winter 2020/2021 RTW
By Haleema SS Fabulous frills, clashing of patterns and even the rare poncho, this show exuded an eccentric feel but with a refined taste. Each outfit was meticulously tailored and styled, making the show a delight to watch. Frill detailing was the key motif for many of the outfits which conveyed a modern twist toContinue reading “Of Aristocracy and Frills: Zimmermann Autumn/Winter 2020/2021 RTW”
Clean Cuts and Cross-body Bags: Brandon Maxwell Fall Winter 2020/2021 RTW
By Haleema SS The sole message this show typed and texted was wearability. The collection presented its focus on sharp tailoring and strong textiles such as velvety corduroy, alpaca, cashmere and suede which added a luxe feel to the outfits. I also loved the styling of the beanie as it was evoked a sense ofContinue reading “Clean Cuts and Cross-body Bags: Brandon Maxwell Fall Winter 2020/2021 RTW”
