So here’s a sneak peak of the Rick Owens show, courtesy of Britt’s surreptitious shot of his look book board (in case you’re not addicted to our Twitter yet), before the show has even started.

Gareth Pugh‘s Fall 09 collection is now online, look by look, thanks to Style.com.

Model on the Masthead, not Cover

A few weeks ago, I told you about an encounter with super famous male model David Gandy who is the face of D&G and loved very much by Mario Testino. I was extremely lucky to run into him again at the London Fashion Week menswear day, in the front row at MAN, where he educated [...]

Don’t Tell Us You Didn’t Like It

In light of everyone’s general distaste over the Fall 09 runways leading straight back into the 80′s/90′s, we bring you a glimpse of happier times.
