Simone Rocha SS2020

In London, my favourite had to be Simone Rocha. It was her strongest collection to date in the most beautiful setting; two things that went hand in hand together—the fantastical feminine in an old Victorian theatre. Her silhouettes are really defining a new guise of femininity. I loved the blue and red embroidery and of course all of her signature hair jewellery.

Prada SS2020 

Prada was a firm favourite in Milan; timeless fashion that struck a chord with simple sophistication that was really tailored to personal style. Miuccia’s collections never fail to resonate with our customer and I can’t wait to see how her classic geometric pieces are received this season.

Valentino SS2020

Paris had to be Valentino—it visually blew my mind in so many ways. The timeless couture was juxtaposed with striking day-glow pieces, which was so visually stimulating and unexpected. I particularly loved the rope accents that were peppered throughout, too.

Bottega Veneta SS2020

Daniel Lee’s influence on the industry and the overarching aesthetic right now can’t be understated. This season, the footwear continued to prove as a strength with the double strap mule being the next cult buy. From the ready-to-wear, Lee’s slick and sexy take on minimalism continues.  

Valentino SS2020

Pierpaolo opened the show with a series of white looks that made cotton poplin feel like couture. When a designer experiments with something so seemingly simple, those pieces will ultimately live in your wardrobe for a very long time. You can’t attach a season to them and to me, that is an investment buy. 

A.W.A.K.E. SS2020

A.W.A.K.E. is by no means a new-comer but the brand feels like an insider secret.  With all of the oversized silhouettes and strong shoulder blazers, the more feminine silhouette resonated well. I loved the new approach to tailoring, with the collarless jacket as a new alternative to the blazer.

Bottega Veneta SS2020

I loved the minimal silhouettes with maximum detailings at Bottega Veneta. It really is an outstanding minimal x maximal collection and also the maxi bags are amazing!

Loewe SS2020

The interpretation of modern Victoriana at Loewe and all the attention to exquisite detail is, again, mind-blowing. It’s not just the front of the looks but also the backs that are art in themselves.

Maison Margiela SS2020

I am a long term John Galliano fan and I have always adored the androgynous attitude at Maison Margiela. The brand perfectly expresses diversity and its craftsmanship is beyond amazing— the collections are cut with utmost precision and perfection. When you take a look at each in detail it is a star item in itself. John perfectly translates drama into modernism. Each item is timeless and genderless. 

Noir Kei Ninomiya SS2020

Noir Kei Ninomiya’s show was a highlight for me—the looks were like walking artworks of tulle and leather. I loved the use of stark black or white softened with acid neon hues and the whole show was absolutely beautiful.

Richard Quinn SS2020

A personal favourite, Richard Quinn’s opulent floral prints, rich colours and his signature couture shapes stood out

Prada SS2020

Prada  - for the perfect wardrobe, look no further. This collection effortlessly translated from the catwalk to the wardrobe.
