SS22

After five years of presenting the house’s collections in Paris, Sarah Burton finds purpose in the city’s contrasts – hard and soft, fast and slow, sun and, well, pissing it down – to super cool effect.

Louise Trotter’s latest outing for the heritage label offers a rousing call-to-arms, expressed through lively silhouettes and innovative use of fabrics.

The creative director transcends time for SS22, exploring the darkness of 17th century ruffles, skirt hoops and embroidery. But, true to form, it remained oddly futuristic – and he didn’t even need a sonic screwdriver.

Miuccia Prada’s SS22 collection cut, slashed and tore up beige fabric in its masses. Low-rise trousers, V-neck jumpers and a flash of skin… welcome to the School of Miu Miu.

Returning to the IRL runway, McCartney’s latest (sustainably-minded) collection takes its roots from fungi. Could it be magic?
