Editorial: Christopher George Autumn/Winter 2019-20, Paul Costelloe shows his mastery of tailoring. With striking, military inspired coats in pure Italian wool, they lead a collection full of rich colour, reminiscent of the Tsars. Opulent, mill-engineered velvet corduroy with a lavish handle, in autumnal shades of gold and claret, add to an array of flower strewn day to evening pieces, including pencil skirts with over-sized Aran knitwear, day dresses in subtle woven patterns and aristocratic inspired long, billowing gowns, fit for a princess. In the true style of Costelloe, the collection is feminine yet bold and powerful. Harping back to a more glamorous time while still being modern for todays woman.
 Editor: Christopher George Outerwear moves from understated to impactful. The stable but humble duffle coat is oversized and exaggerated, taking element from the parka to create a hybrid of the two British classics created in pillar box red and leopard prink faux-fur. Chunky knitwear worn as outerwear suggest the trans seasons we have been accustomed to dress for, and shifting from special occasions to everyday occasions, layered from day to night, while being casual and refined.

Editor: Christopher George The play between shapes, lights and movement comes together to create a skillful harmony. We are transported to an unreal world where the beauty of nature is preserved. This is a new collection that represents all the richness of the sea floor, its intense colors and all its unique and surprising beauty. However, nature is under threat by mankind so the designer draws attention to the causes of its destruction, such as climate change and other pollution on the species, wildlife and the biotope.
Thus, when using plastic waste as embroideries and illustrating the alteration of the colors of the aquatic flora, the Designer denounces the stakes of ecology. The use of new technology as 3D printing, using materials less common in textiles such as silicone and techniques like laser cutting reinforces her creations a modern image, even futuristic, revealing her as the incarnation of the new generation in Haute-Couture. The play between shapes, lights and movement comes together to create a skillful harmony. We are transported to an unreal world where the beauty of nature is preserved.

Editor: Christopher George Photographes: Victor Jones Summer 2019 collection. Inspired by how mankind are depending on and using the wind as a tool for transport, energy and play. One can’t see the wind but how it shapes and changes things on its way forward. Measuring the force of wind by visual clues from land and the sea. Wind can shape landforms, like dust, can travel thousands of miles. The collection reflects the theme in various ways; the silhouettes are inspired by the movement of garments that are caught by the wind. Foamy waves, soap bubbles, playful paper planes, boomerangs, parachutes, aerodynamics and even bad breath were keywords during the collection development. Soft fabrics against sharp colours and stripes allow the clothes strong but wearable character efoetlesle flow. Henrik Vibskov
