Fashion shows and exclusivity may have been closely tied together in the past, but Burberry Prorsum know that the world has changed. The opportunity to buy pieces from the collection is often months away, but each of us wants to be able to see the latest collections as soon as they hit the runway. Keeping up with the changing world and the move to online,…

London’s Goldsmith’s Hall is amongst its finest venues. It is, in a word, opulent. Curtains are crimson, furnishings are gilt, and the chandeliers still burn bright courtesy of real candles. Which makes the debut of a collection entitled Viva Las Vegas, as was Julien Macdonald’s autumn 2013 collection, seem… dubious. Vegas and the Goldsmith’s Hall have little in common on the surface. But Macdonald found…

Safe silhouettes may have been the mark of Jasper Conran’s reinterpretation of 1960s fashion for autumn 2013, but the colours were anything but safe.

Sex, lies and video tapes. As we all face a future where we’ll be anonymous for 15 minutes, Antipodium used their 2013 catwalk at London fashion week (LFW) to hone in on the fact that “from spy cams to sex tapes, all of modern life is tracked, recorded, shared and scrutinised.” This we all know. Rag mags are plastered with celebrities who have made a…

There’s a knack to deciphering what an invite implies about the collection it’s inviting you to. Dak’s autumn 2013 invite, with its heavy grey, quasi-oragami folds, said much. It revealed the collection’s tone, it revealed its plays on pleats, draping and folds. What it didn’t hint at, or at least wasn’t overt, was the androgynous mood that would do much to bind a story that…

As Fred Ebb penned, if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. But frankly, making it in the City of Angels has always seemed much tougher. In New York you can hustle, in LA you’re more likely to benefit from having been blessed with a nice set of genes. What else could explain just how many carbon-copy women inhabit the…

Proenza Schouler’s fall 2013 collection is about to show next on the runway in New York. Watch it live as it happens by tuning in to the livestream after the break.

Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony’s fall / winter 2013 collection has been previewed and Fashionising.com has each of the key looks for you.

For all its grand boulevards, there’s a real beauty to Barcelona’s smaller alleys. They don’t wind like older parts of Europe, instead they stand either side, leaving the odd balcony to hang over you as you walk underneath. Were this Verona, a Juliet might appear at any stage. Barcelona’s alleys are neat by day and evocative by night, provided you find the right one. Though…

Tom Ford men’s: that constant balance of statement, of style, of the classics and of the modern. These are, perhaps, the ideas which best describe a Tom Ford men’s collection if one wants to avoid more ambiguous terms such as dapper. Tom Ford nails luxury. He creates strong looks which flatter a man’s shape. He plays to the slow (r)evolution of modern suit trends. And…

There’s plenty to look at in Barcelona, even in the middle of winter. The urban landscape offers row upon row of buildings that hint at the city’s former wealth while the natural landscape offers up views of hillsides, beaches and the Mediterranean. Street fashion isn’t as frequently as engaging however. As in so many other parts of the Med, Barcelona has a relaxed culture that…

Not for everyone though constantly turning heads towards those who opt to wear it, the crop top makes a return for Spring / Summer 2013. Fashionising.com has your guide on how to wear it, whose designing it, and the trends to pair it with.

It was a clash of mermaids and warriors at Oscar Carvallo’s haute couture spring 2013 show, where dazzling metallic paillettes could equally call to mind fish scales or ancient armour. Bodices, too, were armour-like before flowing out into wafts of chiffon creating an effect all together fierce yet feminine that commanded attention down the Paris fashion week (PFW) runway.

When elements of nearly a century’s worth of fashion trends are in style, where does a designer go? If you’re Paul Smith designing your men’s autumn / winter 2013 fashion collection, the answer seems to be everywhere. Smith’s interpretation of the next snowy season doesn’t merely borrow elements from various parts of history but rather is a romping tour de force through the annals of…

Sheer meets masculine: a perfect balance between two of fashion’s more difficult trends.

You could easily get lost in the fairytale Sarah Burton has created for Alexander McQueen pre-fall 2013. But where wintry, fur capped whites conjure up images of snow queens and ice palaces, communion lace gowns and sweeping robes borrow their inspiration from the realm of religious dress.

The obsession with a 1960s fashion revival refuses to wane. While there are fewer collections that can be described as wholly recreationist hitting the catwalks, there remains a definite trend amongst hair and beauty looks to capture all that was so right about ’60s beauty. And it’s the beauty of Ginta Lapina, heavily infused with a 60′s vibe, that Harper’s Bazaar Spain’s February 2013 cover…

Sheer meets the women’s tuxedo on the cover of Vogue Germany’s February 2013 edition.

The Megan Fox comeback (surely that’s what it is) continues with the actress covering the February 2013 issue of Esquire magazine.

The drama of a Roberto Cavalli collection doesn’t always translate smoothly. Nor are Mario Testino’s campaigns always something to behold. But together, for Cavalli’s spring / summer 2013 campaign, everything just clicks.
