FAULT MAGAZINE REVIEWS Blood Brother LFWM AW/17
Taking heavy inspiration from the quintessentially British moving landmark that is the River Thames, the AW17 Blood Brother collection poised the question of how the surrounding iconic buildings and abstract oddities of the river reflect London so well.
The collection presented monochromatic prints resembling mapping and cartography of the river. These designs…
FAULT MAGAZINE REVIEWS Chalayan LFWM AW/17
Showcasing his AW17 presentation, Chalayan marked his return on the third day of LFWM. A sea of navy blue, black and grey flooded the runway as the models walked though Chalayan’s Mayfair studio. Inspired (very subtly) by Ancient Greece, we saw loose tailoring with a lot more draping, and softer geometric silhouettes.
Dropped shoulders served…
FAULT MAGAZINE REVIEWS Katie Eary LFWM AW/17
Amidst the backdrop of pre-watershed nipple balloons, Daisy Lowe returned to the catwalk to open day two of LWFM. Was this a silken whimsical dream? It felt like it. Following dear Daisy came a psychedelic slumber party drawing from the gritty alleyways of 70s Soho, London. Paul Raymond, property mogul, strip club owner and the OG of London’s seedy post-war sex scene, heavily influenced Katie…
FAULT MAGAZINE REVIEWS Daniel W Fletcher LFWM AW/17
AW17 is Daniel W Fletchers first collection to be shown at LFWM. A Central Saint Martins disciple of 2015, his previous collections are now sold internationally, gaining worldwide coverage. This season his models stood as a serious nod to the young peoples voices needing to be heard among current cultural shifts.

FAULT Magazine Reviews Xander Zhou LFWM AW/17
With the accompaniment of an almost psychotic soundtrack, to which models staggered disjointedly at an astonishing pace (zombies on speed!) , designer Xander Zhou presented his most mature collection yet. I do not mean by 'mature', that Zhou has lost any of the sartorial anarchy that we have come to expect and applaud him for; but the collections 'Grown Up' title was apt.
Picture the…

FAULT Magazine Reviews MAN: Charles Jeffrey LFWM AW/17
Having long predicted the tectonic shift in British Menswear that this season's schedule has laid bare: the ascendancy of the non-traditional upstarts, MAN was an eagerly anticipated ticket that did not disappoint!
It was Charles Jeffrey's LOVERBOY which reigned supreme. A regal collection that was a tour de force and theatrical statement, where fashion met performance art. Taking in the…
FAULT Magazine reviews Momoko Permanent Hair Straightening at Trevor Sorbie Covent Garden
If you’re anything like me, your morning routine probably involves waking up 5 hours earlier than you should just so you can get yourself prepped and ready for the day to come. Leaving breakfast, my workout, make-up and getting dressed routine aside, I usually have to allocate at least half an hour to taming my hair into a half decent look.
Mind you, over the past few years, I’ve put…
