Christopher Bailey didn’t let down his fans. He celebrated volume and texture in this powerful collection, putting a sarilike spin on his trenches — and most other clothing — draping, knotting, twisting and ruching washed and distressed fabrics, including gabardine, chiffon, tulle and silk duchesse satin.

He knotted and twisted and built up the shoulders of trenches and jackets, putting a decidedly artsy spin on the power shoulder, and wrapped and draped tulle skirts around the hips so that they looked like swirls of icing. Cashmere knits with knotted shoulders twisted and bunched around the body, while ruffles spilled down the fronts and backs of trenches and snaked around the neckline of one cotton candy-colored dress.

Colors ranged from earth tones and mineral hues like copper, sand, and mud, mostly for the trenches, trench dresses and skirt suits, to sugary pastels, including lavender for a fur chubby and peppermint and lemon for the draped and knotted dresses.

Kerin Rose set up a-morir a little under a year ago. The designer is best known for her sunglasses, which are all made by hand in her workshop. To date she has made sunglasses for Rihanna, Katy Perry, Mariah Carey, Cassie, as well as Mickey Factz. Her sunglasses also recently appeared in Married to the MOB and Hellz Bellz lookbooks.

Rihanna is wearing the Pyramid Stud sunglasses in Jay-Z’s music video. The sunglasses are entirely covered in hand-painted pyramid studs, that have been slightly distressed. Since we know the question will come up – yes, you can actually perfectly see through them. You will be able to purchase the sunglasses from October, when not only a black, but also silver and gold colorways will be coming out. The sunglasses can be pre-ordered for 350 USD.

Jewel tones, sequences, and robot dresses only begin to describe a portion of Fulton’s genius for her Fall collection. Holly Fulton’s “References for the new collection included Eduardo Paolozzi, robotic stuff and what I’m calling art deco on crack – looking at the motifs and geometry within this with a heightened sense of colour and line.”
