Always a pleasure to see our friend Justin and even better this time because he was surrounded by his latest collection. A breath of fresh air at Somerset House yesterday.

Fashion Week way-off-schedule. Reminding myself just how hypnotic the words Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent are.

Miss Groover’s latest works were on show today. On the right is her view once it was all over. I arrived too late to see any of the clothes but I know they’re all black and that’s good with me. Tall enough to catch the make up though.

You can see her current collection in a vid by Joachim Norvik here.

whichever way you look at it, the writing is on the wall for traditional catwalk shows (with mcqueen passing the fashion industry has lost someone who knew this all too well and embraced the challenge of finding new alternatives). this presentation for the new Grenoble line by Moncler is pure showmanship, staged at the driving range on a snowy Chelsea Pier in New York.

here is a preview of the amazing shoot Adrian Wilson did of the Womens Autumn Winter ’10 PreCollection of Rick Owens’ Palais Royal line. Shot on their amazing model Jessica!

These sweet backstage shots from Nasir Mazhar, styled by Anna Trevelyan and snapped by Saga Sigurdardottir reminded me of SWv’s classic jam ‘Downtown’… and more specifically, my girl Coko’s mega pro nails.

Circumdederunt me dolores mortis… Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine: et lux perpetua luceat eis.
