EDITOR’S LETTER

Time flies when you’re having fun, or in my case getting married! Not only has my surname changed, but, there’s a notable new fashion season that’s already made itself well known, as codes of couture filtered through to the ready-to-wear collections this AW19 season. Plumes of feathers dominated the catwalks, with everything from beautifully created couture-like gowns, with elegant tufts of feathers, to outwear fringed with feathers. There was a notable split in how designers presented their autumn/winter 2019 collections this season. Traditional haute couture influences infiltrated many collections in New York and London, with exaggerated volume, couture dresses and stunning tailoring coming to the fore. Elsewhere, however, there seemed to be a shift towards more commercial, ‘shoppable’ presentations. Many designers seemed to place more emphasis on wearability this season, with covetable, catwalk-to-pavement looks reigning supreme. This wasn’t to say the AW19 collections were mundane but creativity was harnessed in a way which appealed to the many not the few. In other news, my basic inner self is pondering the question, “Where’s my Pumpkin Spiced Latte..?” Stay fashionable. Stay fabulous!
