Fashion Flash: Saint Laurent, 07/03/16 There are power shoulders and then there are Saint Laurent couture power-shoulders.

Each look was introduced by a compère and the audience were so captivated that you could hear every stiletto hit the floor. Glam ON.

Fashion Flash: Prada, 25/02/16 A raw plywood two-floored structure was the backdrop for a true Miuccia Prada tour de force. A melding of references from ancient Greece to touches of nautical and military - the result? A tapestry of texture and detail: flared coats in khaki and navy drill cinched in with white lace-up cotton corset belts, ribbed Arygyll tights worn with exquisite crystal-encrusted wedges and pocket books worn as necklace pendants. Only MP could pull it off.
