Ready-to-Wear - Spring 2019
Junya Watanabe

The collection was appropriately rough and ragged but what registered most was its playfulness.
Sacai

Chitose Abe's career has taken on something of a rhythm: advance one season, consolidate the next. This season followed the pattern, risking what her critics call her formula.
Altuzarra
12 October 2018 • By Tim Blanks
The collection was less a reflection of the designer's chic urban signature and more louche summer languor, but that felt just as true.

Miu Miu
3 October 2018 • By Tim Blanks
Glamour, tailoring, logos and elegance were the four poles of Miuccia Prada's collection. But the polish was overpowered by her innate inclination towards subversion.

Louis Vuitton
Nicolas Ghesquière said his new collection gathered together all his obsessions — one of them being “to empower women." But when he added that it was “not a narrative collection," he highlighted its simultaneous strength and weakness.
Stella McCartney
Business is booming, and this collection showed why: seriousness of purpose and commitment delivered with the lightest of touches and a sense of humour.
Chanel

Esteban Cortazar

The show's seaside-inflected simplicity and fluidity made for a strong collection, although its deconstructed tailoring didn't quite fit.
