for the record · On tattoos and evening wear
The old rule says tattoos and gowns don't mix. Cover the arms, wear the gloves, save the ink for the weekend. That rule was written by people who think a dress is a disguise. Evening wear has always been about the line. The open back, the off-the-shoulder neckline, the side slit that opens when…

drop 007 · Desert Pool Hours
A pool at the edge of the desert, low walls the colour of the ground, dunes or cactus past the last sunbed. Most of it was shot in the afternoon and the rest at sunset, when the light comes in flat across the water and turns everything the colour of sand. That light is kind to matte fabric and…

the week 43 · A house is not its sneakers
On Thursday 15 October, Kering announced that Seán McGirr is leaving Alexander McQueen after three years as creative director, and said it would name new creative leadership soon. The exit comes with a retrenchment of the business: layoffs and a smaller store network. Chief executive Luca de Meo...

for the record · On trends with names
Every few weeks somebody puts a suffix on something women have done for decades and calls it news. This month it is coatmaxxing: the coat as the outfit. Before that, the quiet expensive look. Before that, the shoe that matches nothing on purpose. Give it a silly name, add a number of views, and...

drop 006 · Salt and Stone
The place is a terrace cut into a rocky coast: dry-stone walls at sitting height, pale paving, a few sunbeds and woven chairs, and below all of it grey rock dropping into water that goes from turquoise near the shore to slate further out. The photographs run from late morning, when the sun is...

the week 42 · The trousers are the party. The name can stay in Paris.
The Zoe Report published its Paris spring/summer 2027 trend round-up on 7 October, and one of its six headlines is trousers. Under the name "party pants", the piece notes that plain trousers were replaced on the runways by elaborate ones: silky slacks with a skirt detail at Louis Vuitton, sparkly...

the week 41 · Gold is a dose, not a wardrobe
Last Tuesday night Saint Laurent showed its spring 2027 collection in Paris, on a black lacquered runway under three gold chandeliers, with the Eiffel Tower behind. Anthony Vaccarello dressed the house's staples in gold: a lamé safari bomber with a slit pencil skirt, trenches, wrap dresses with...

for the record · On black
People call black the safe choice. It is the opposite. Colour does half the work for you: it gets noticed whether or not you deserve it. Black gives you nothing for free. If the cut is wrong, black tells everyone. If the fabric is cheap, black tells everyone faster. So I don't wear black to hide.…

drop 005 · Brutalist Noon
Midday is the hour photographers avoid and the hour concrete looks best. The sun comes straight down, the walls go pale grey and every joint, tie hole and formwork line shows. The shadows are black and have corners. We shot in brutalist courtyards, under a colonnade, once in an empty room with…

the edit 001 · Oxblood, the new neutral
I don't do colour. Anyone who has watched me for more than a week knows it, and the week I wear some is usually the week people write in. In September something in my closet stopped being black. A velvet blazer, the colour of the last inch in a glass of red. I wore it on a Tuesday morning to the...

the week 40 · Everyone discovered the leather jacket. Again.
Fashion writers have given the season a name, and it is about outerwear: coatmaxxing, the idea that the coat is the outfit and everything under it plays a supporting role. Leather leads the list, and it is leaving the classic biker shape behind: oversized bombers, belted cuts, shirt collars and...

drop 004 · Concrete Golden Hour
Seven looks, one kind of place: poured concrete plazas and the top decks of car parks, somewhere between six and seven in the evening when the sun is low enough to come in under the slabs. For twenty minutes the grey goes warm, the joints in the concrete turn into lines of shadow across the…

drop 003 · Rooftop Hours
The top deck of a car park with the downtown towers lined up behind it, and the hour before sunset when the light comes in flat across the concrete and hits everything from the side. The painted bays on the floor turn into diagonals, the railing throws a long shadow, and the glass on the skyline...
-
drop 002 · Rooftop Last Light
A rooftop high enough that the city is all below it: a concrete parapet, a square column throwing one hard shadow, planters along the edge and the towers going soft in the haze behind. We shot in the twenty minutes before the sun went behind the skyline, when it comes in level and everything with…

drop 001 · Concrete Sundown
A single courtyard of board-marked concrete, the wall running the full height of the frame and the floor a slab with the joints showing, shot in the hour when the sun gets low enough to slide across it. The grey warms to sand, the shadows lengthen along the ground, and the texture of the concrete...
