Episode 91: Game of Clothes, London Spring Summer 2021

Can you just be whelmed? That’s kinda how we felt for this season’s London shows. Solid performances, nothing surprising. As for Whitney’s picks… This proved to be Tisci’s most consistent Burberry collection to date. Phoebe English picked up acorns on her way to work to use as dye for the collection (which let’s be honest, was probably the coolest design detail to come out of London). And Erdem showed a very Erdem collection (although the slouchy sweaters were a nice, new touch). Despite a lack of coverage, Liz’s picks were still committed to showing their collections on their own terms. Daniel W. Fletcher walked through the collection at his Soho store detailing inspiration, favorite pieces and even fielding questions from social media. A+ for relatability. Mark Fast showed an 80’s inspired, uplifting show at the Hackney Bus Depot. And we’re still waiting on J.W. Anderson… In Style Snacks, we say goodbye to RBG, LVMH and Tiffany are still at it, Savage x Fenty launches menswear, Kenzo partners with WWF to help save the tigers and a documentary chronicling  Jean Paul Gaultier’s last show is hopefully going to make its way to a streaming site soon.
