The hit list: 10 things to have on your fashion radar this month
The book
Fashion’s favourite photographic duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott celebrate 20 years of their prolific professional partnership in a collector’s edition tome that captures the dizzying depth of their portfolio, from campaigns for Fendi and Gucci to portraits of Kate Moss, Lady Gaga and Madonna. Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, £450 (taschen.com)
The film
Shoe godfather Manolo Blahnik stars in director Michael Roberts’ well-heeled bio-epic, Manolo: The Boy Who Made Shoes for Lizards. With cameos from Anna Wintour and Rihanna, the documentary premieres during LFW. Step into Blahnik’s shoes quite literally — specifically his re-issued Maysale kitten mules (first created for Marge Simpson for a 1991 episode) — and book a cinema seat near you. Out 29 September.
The collaboration
Get ready for Uniqlo x JW Anderson’s much-awaited collaboration, which drops in store on 19 September. ‘I wanted to try and take the essence of what we know as iconography in British culture and do something which was democratic,’ explains Anderson of his patriotic collection that includes quilted tartan puffers and classic trenches. As a long-term admirer of the brand, he adds of the project, ‘It was a no-brainer for me.’
The Fabric
High-gloss, patent finishes are not just limited to outerwear for AW17. Spray-and-wipe surfaces are just asking to be teamed with oversized knitwear or pretty blouses for daytime.
