The first film from Sadie Frost and Emma Comley’s production company Blonde to Black Pictures, ‘Buttercup Bill’ is a chilling story of love, sex, mind games and dark desires.

FAULT Reviews Field Day 2015
It’s that time of year again where Field Day hands over those spectacular glittering VIP wristbands giving us the chance to cover the east London-based festival exclusively for Fault Magazine. In its 9 years of showcasing incredible talent the festival has refined it’s good looks and efficient scheduling making it in my opinion the best festival here in London.

FAULT REVIEWS – Tom Ford SS16
King of the tuxedo, Tom Ford, opened his suave showroom to view the SS16 menswear collection; a continuation from last season with classic suits mixed with 70s style cowboy looks.
Jackets cut close to the waist with up-turned collars in hefty browns leathers, orange suede and pony skin had a certain air of assuredness. Cow prints in bright red and cream were statement outerwear, while the…
FAULT REVIEWS – Jimmy Choo SS16
Jimmy Choo is kicking it with the kids down at the ramps for SS16 with some flashy sneakers inspired by them.
We were invited to preview the collection at a leisure centre where shoes were hung by their laces along the gym bench coat pegs while models and world champion bladers, BMXers and skaters showed off their moves in the ramps beneath the balcony, dressed to impress in their Choos of…
FAULT Reviews – Sibling SS16
Sibling's SS16 was an American Dream set in Soho- jocks in knitted jockstraps, neon shoulder-pads, and the return of the bumster trouser (but with a lot more butt for your buck.) Knit tank tops and lace-up trousers took sportswear and transformed it - with the lacing rigid and elaborate as if the boys were corseted into their gear. The colour palette was largely blue and orange, and models…
FAULT Reviews – Matthew Miller SS16
The Matthew Miller show was a clean and concise statement for SS16; the colour palette was limited to black, white, palest pink and dark denim blue, whilst tailoring provided a structure of separates. Miller experimented with texture, presenting beautiful coats that were crackled and warped as if coated in paint. Denim was frayed at the hem, spilling over and delicate. This was balanced…
FAULT Reviews – Alexander McQueen SS16
Spring/Summer is always a strange season for a label like McQueen - one that is so rooted in a dark, sumptuous, and often harsh aesthetic, seemingly at odds with visions of light linens and the beach. For SS16, Sarah Burton cast her models into the ocean, drawing upon military uniform and maritime imagery reworked into a vision of captain coats and nautical stripes that spoke to Victoriana (and…
FAULT Reviews – KTZ SS16
KTZ’s aggressive machismo was set off by an industrial setting with iron fencing lining the path of the catwalk which was lit by white neon lights.
From behind this hostile set came PVC rain coats, flashes of silver on trouser legs and patent leather shorts for a high-shine collection with an electric surge running through it. Racing car red, blue and yellow zigged across cut out tank tops with…
