Moda por números / Fashion by numbers:

Dries van Noten:

1 Headshot
Avert your eyes people, it’s not about the face. Or at least that’s what’s being suggested, with this blank canvas of a cosmetic creation.

2 Blazer of glory
A sartorial stand-off between masculine and feminine influences with the blazer as armour of choice. Black and slouchy, it is textbook Dries, by which I mean it has a minimalist, androgynous feel. There is an inherent nonchalance about Dries’ designs; he is the king of relaxed chic.

3 Pink
Raspberry ripple made good. Pink can often be trashy, but Dries doesn’t do trashy so instead we have intriguing, irreverent pink.

4 Big Bird strikes again
You remember the puffball skirt? Enter the fluffball, aka everyone’s favourite Sesame Street character. Big Bird made quite a few appearances on the catwalk for AW, but it was here where he triumphed. Proof that even serious designers have playful, animated moments.

5 Layer Cake
Deliberating over a skirt and a pant? Wear them both says Dries. Layering has underpinned his designs for years and he often merges different clothing genres in this way. The tapered, ankle-length trouser provides a neat accompaniment to the shaggy, knee-length skirt.

6 Shoe
Rather than simply paying lip service to fashion’s anti-heel movement, Dries put models in men’s flat shoes. Hence, you’ll find this is a proper brogue with a seriously solid sole.

Sum total
Dries is one of the “Antwerp six”, a handful of designers who have been flying the flag for Belgian fashion since the mid-80s. As the son of three generations of tailors, Dries’ grandfather is credited with introducing Antwerp to the concept of ready-to-wear, and his grandson hasn’t let the side down since.

For this collection, the designer spoke of being influenced by the femininity of ballroom dancers and ice skaters, hence we find masculine tailoring softened with feathers and richly embellished features. But rather than get carried away with the theatre of it all, Dries draws it to a subtle conclusion; this is a look for fashion’s hardest-to-please.

Marc Jacobs:

1 Headshot
It’s a heavy, sweeping fringe with Edie Sedgwick eyes and a power-brow.

2 Through the keyhole
I say 1960s beatnik – Jacobs refuted such obvious inspiration. Bare skin, however, was a prominent and recurrent theme, with enough flashes of buttock to sink a battleship. Critics heralded it as the return of sex to the catwalk, yet it was an exploration of all things optical, such as this keyhole design, that Jacobs was primarily consumed with. Illusion created by geometric shape was the central, encompassing vision for this collection.

3 And the stripes?
Coming to that now, silly. You see sometimes new trends are quiet, sly little things that sneak up on you slowly. At other times, they’re about as subtle as a sledgehammer. The monochrome stripe spread quicker than norovirus this year, with the high street cashing in on its wearability, and lines have become our go-to look for work and play.

4 Bag
See previous point on stripes, above.

5 Shoes
Black flats with a thin bow and a toe so pointy-sharp it could severe cold butter. You’ve got a wardrobe full of ballet pumps? Bad luck.

Sum total
A collection of Ss: the 60s, Sedgwick, stripes and sex. Yet while many praised Jacobs for bringing sexy back, I’m not sure the carnal references weren’t more of a subplot. More intriguingly, for a designer known for pushing the weird and wacky, this was disciplined, almost to the extent that you could hear Jacobs humming along to Queen’s One Vision. Here was a designer urging us to toe his (fashion) line. Which we promptly did.

Nick Wooster:

” I’ve been a little afraid to ride in the street, but now the culture is shifting in the city and is more friendly to bikes. I just love the feeling of an old bike. I think there’s nothing more noble. More beautiful.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed. I’m 53 years old. So it was in probably 1972… I was obsessed with a Schwinn Varsity, chocolate brown, 10-speed bike. And the year my parents bought our house, we were told no big presents that Christmas. But, sure enough, I got the Schwinn. I was proud of that thing. I had graduated from the banana seat and the “Sissy bar” on a Schwinn Stingray. That new bike was a thrilling, amazing gift.

But, as I grew up I immediately shed the idea of a bike because it signaled that you were a kid. I wanted to drive a car. Now, 40 years later, it is more interesting to be driving, riding a beautiful machine. Something that has a history, and gives you a lot more freedom than a car or car service. It’s a beautiful thing to see the world from a little bit higher than the average pedestrian. And feeling every nick and cranny of the streets.

I did once have a track or a bent over model, but all the things I got for my new bike are exactly the things I never wanted as a kid. It’s got a basket. Very useful. It’s got these handlebars, that force you to sit upright. In the old days it was all about looking like a racer. Hunched over the wheels. For me, biking means convenience. Biking fits my personality. A little bit understated. A little bit old.”
