haversack

Haversack is the creation of a Japanese designer Koji Norihide and was founded in Japan in 1998. The main Haversack collection is based on old patterns and blocks of hunting, shooting and military uniforms whilst Haversack General Garments are pieces heavily inspired by French workwear and nautical uniforms of the 30s and 40s

Chloe

Looks like Chloe is back on track! it's only the second show for Chloe’s head of design Hannah MacGibbon and all ready she has taken us bake to the dreamy days of Phoebe Philo. The oversized trousers with turn ups were right on trend, as were the velvet ensembles. The jumpsuits and shorts were particularly charming,even the leather shorts looked surprisingly wearable

Balmain AW09

Decarnin certainly proved he's still got it,showing the same signature shape as last season, now manifested as a leather biker as well as a tuxedo jacket, and often paired with new drapey harem pants, or skinny jean-cut black trousers. Balmain has been number 1 most copied designer brand of two seasons now, and I suspect the copying will proceed.

and over to Milan...

Roberto Cavalli was tearfully announcing the cancellation of his Just Cavalli show because his licensing company had gone under; four days later he was hosting a ridiculously OTT party to launch a Cavalli Mastercard - just what the world needs.. Fashion editors can thank Giorgio Armani for what apparently was "The best musical montage in a fashion show EVER" when Tina Turner showed up one stage preforming and looking fantastic for 67! Meanwhile Gucci was playing homage to the 80s (yes,again ladies and gentleman) delivering images of shiny-suited musicians playing synthesizers

Hannah would like to see hot chics like Alison Mosshart, Erin O’Connor and Carine Roitfield wear her gear,witch says it all Fashions favorite and miss Marshalls muses, girl band Ipso Facto, (the same Ipso Facto rumoured to have inspired Stefano Pilati’s infamous gothic a/w 08 show for YSL) turned out to support her- Love love love!

cooperative design

Great show from Cooperative duo Anne Lise Dunn and Dorothee Hageman yesterday. 80s inspired silhouettes, geisha makeup and Madonna rocking the stereo. Loved the clever styling of the shoes stylized with knitted strings

You just know it;s gonna be good when miss Sevigny does anything related to cloth and fashion so no wonder the fashion crowd was exited when Sevigny's second collaboration with Opening Ceremony , a menswear collection that also comes scaled down to fit girls, was on show on LFW.
