The double facing...the layered organza...the jeweled fastening, Peet is a young Dutch designer with the capacity for couture rigor and a distinct potential for true greatness.

That use of a graphic black and white is very on message for the season but what is timeless is that aura of effortless glamour.

TI's great discovery during that Tokyo odyssey was the beautifully layered offerings of indie label Digawell.

All the best stylists do it , so why not TI? ...

Rubchinsky's first collection, "Evil Empire" was made for and dedicated to youth, teenagers and children of the 90's

If I'm to buy any more menswear (sigh), I'm going to buy into a label that has a sincere discourse with the contemporary. Cause clothes should always be of their moment, no?

There I was, aching for a "The Man Who Fell To Earth" moment, when this submission hit TI's inbox. As designer Victor Tur explains:

Massive stalactite formations, re-cut and re-assembled from the 2, 400 metres of hand-burned wooden stakes

Dover Street Market (an initiative of Comme des Garçons) have invited DAMIR DOMA to express the mood of the women’s and men’s collections in a custom installation, in partnership with the Parisian design and production studio Diplomates.

The archival image “Cave of the Winds, Stalactites Alabaster Avenue” taken in the 19th century in Denver, Colorado by W. H. Jackson & Co. forms part of the inspiration for the project.

The nuts, bolts (and wiring ) that goes into crafting a beautiful image. PH Hugh Lippe for Cushnie et Ochs

ANTHONY VACCARELLO & LOU DOILLON

Vacerello has an idea of a woman and she is certain and strong. But even as she is angular and structured, she remains always, always, feminine.

TI suspects those FW 12 Kanye West fittings are certainly going to be pulled together with four pins!

However could Mr. West top the hype, the heat and the drama of his controversial debut offering on the Paris Fashion Week schedule last season?
