Haute Couture Spring 2020
Giorgio Armani

Maison Margiela
23 January 2020 • By Tim Blanks
The raw apocalyptic glamour of the show was also a perverse tutorial in the art and craft of clothes-making.
Valentino
The general impression was a stiffness that felt less modern than the sensuous fluidity of the designs with which Pierpaolo Piccioli seduced the world two years ago.
Schiaparelli
22 January 2020 • By Tim Blanks
Daniel Roseberry came closest to Schiaparelli herself with Dalí-esque doodads, and as he builds on that, the brand will truly be his.
Givenchy
For all that out-there volume, it was actually discipline that read most convincingly in this collection.
Chanel
21 January 2020 • By Tim Blanks
Virginie Viard convincingly pulled off the impressive feat of conveying Coco Chanel’s fascinating, complex spirit.
Christian Dior
Partnering with feminist artist Judy Chicago, Maria Grazia Chiuri made a collection that was almost dream-like in its gilded celebration of woman as goddess.
Menswear - Autumn 2020
Alyx
20 January 2020 • By Tim Blanks

Sacai

Craig Green
The detail of his designs, the intricate ingenuity of the seaming, the marriage of art and function were an entirely joyous glorying in creation.
