Read MoreFlorentina Leitner's SS25 at PFW was nothing short of magical! I still can’t believe I made it up five flights of stairs to this charming little French parlor on the "4th" floor (a French 4th floor is an American 5th). When I finally arrived, the staff were in a bit of a frenzy trying to find me a seat. But you know what? I politely declined. I had a hunch that standing right by the entrance would give me the best shots, and as suspected, was I right. The allocation felt like the "economy plus" of fashion shows, gave me just enough of what I needed.

Yet, amidst this chaos, the models emerged from the building with an air of serenity, each one a vision of poise and beauty.

The atmosphere was further enhanced by the ethnic and contemporary sounds performed by the Slovenian trio Širom, creating a dynamic backdrop for the collection.

Read MoreTrue to his signature style, Pressiat seamlessly blended the streets of Paris with its vibrant nightlife. The collection showcased a unique juxtaposition of softness and assertive lines.

Read MoreFor Season 4, Constantinou continues to explore how extreme climates shape culture and style. This season, the focus shifts to the desert, drawing inspiration from its harsh conditions; scorching days and freezing nights. By leveraging the adaptive techniques of the Bedouin desert tribes, Constantinou has crafted a collection built for the unpredictable.
Read MoreThe show opened with an all-black ensemble that set a bold tone, featuring asymmetrical cuts and complex draping. Model wore an oversized circular headpiece that resembled a digital mask, contributing to the theatricality of the presentation. The Jenn Lee SS25 show was a vibrant celebration of creativity, blending nostalgic elements with avant-garde fashion.

Read MoreThe KNWLS show at London Fashion Week was a long-awaited highlight for me, akin to Edina Monsoon from Absolutely Fabulous desperately trying to gain Stella McCartney's favor. "What? No KNWLS?" I found myself asking every season until, finally, an invite arrived.

Read MoreRocky Star's "Blush Éclat" SS25 collection was nothing short of enchanting. It celebrated the poetry of spring with a delicate dance of soft pastels—ivory, blush pink, and a touch of midnight black. The collection seemed to embody girlhood just on the cusp of discovering that there is an edgier, playful and outstandingly curious world out there, like Alice in Wonderland grows up...a little.
