Haute Couture - Autumn 2016
Dolce & Gabbana
11 July 2016 • By Tim Blanks
The Dolce & Gabbana Alta spectacles have become fun waystations for the brand's rich clientele, but the charm of these shows is that, for all the over-the-toppery, they are actually great levelers, fabulous, shameless entertainments.
Fendi
8 July 2016 • By Tim Blanks
Walking on water was just one of the minor miracles in Fendi’s 90th anniversary show.
Valentino
7 July 2016 • By Tim Blanks
As swansongs go, it was a surprisingly ponderous full stop to Chiuri’s 17 years with Valentino, soundtracked by Prokofiev’s stentorian strains.

Jean Paul Gaultier
6 July 2016 • By Angelo Flaccavento
Taking inspiration from nature, the designer showed a lustrous palette of dark greens and intense browns rendered in shiny silks covered in feather embroideries or wood prints, but the overall effect was too bourgeois.

Maison Margiela
6 July 2016 • By Tim Blanks
In the confluence of what looked like repurposed bits and pieces, artisanal ingenuity and experimental construction, this collection felt like the best marriage yet of Margiela and Galliano.
Giorgio Armani
Armani made clothes of striking purity, with paradoxical accents of carnality.
Chanel
5 July 2016 • By Tim Blanks
A charming couture presentation reminds us that fashion is ultimately all about the hand.
