The new cool in Milan fashion
Posted by Lucky on Mar 2, 2010
Milan fashion has always been about overt sexiness. Tight, bright and sparkly. But all that has changed, says Jess Cartner-Morley
Milan fashion week used to be so simple. It did sexy. Molto sexy. Revealing, attention-seeking frocks of the it-does-what-it-says-on-the-tin, hormone-charging variety. Some seasons it was sexy-boho, sometimes it was fierce-sexy, sometimes it was Lolita-sexy, but – [...]

Fashion photographs taken by famous Kansan Gordon Parks remind us that while fashion is cyclical, the sheer abundance of it today means we can find styles from practically any era.
Even though Parks shot most of his fashion photos in the 1940s and ’50s, many of the gowns and accessories in those photos are part of [...]

Paris haute couture week: can fashion be art?
Posted by Lucky on Jan 28, 2010
Can clothes ever be art? Paris haute couture week seems a good moment to get to the bottom of this one. (The dresses at haute couture start at £20,000, so I can’t pass the time shopping, and am thus forced into the highbrow by default.) Artistic vision and value is one of the justifications given [...]
