Post by CM For time immortal (or so it seems) the runway shows all fashion fans know and love have taken place bi-yearly, in February and in September. The February shows showcase the following Autumn/Winter collections, the September shows highlight the coming trends for Spring/Summer the following year. So far, so simple! Not anymore. In […]
MorePost by CM I never thought I’d be composing a post entitled Trend Watch: Ski Pants. Never. In a million years. But I came upon an article on Who What Wear about ‘treggings’, which featured a pair of Zara stirrup pants (read it here! The offending pair are in outfit number 5) and then started seeing […]
