Sportmax AW22 collection in photos
Dial S for self-empowering, sensuality. Unveiled in a hot pink, club-like corridor, Sportmax's AW22 collection was a manifesto of empowment through a sartorial deconstruction of deeply-engrained fetishist ideals of the femme fatale (albeit through the male gaze). From Lilith to Hitchcockian muse Kim Novak and pin-up star Jessica Rabbits, iconic archetypes on the big screen and throughout pop culture were reconfigured for the birth of new sex symbols. Hourglass jackets, exaggerated shoulders and androgynous minimalism come together through tailored construction and an exploration of the body to form contemporary interpretations of form-fitting looks, awashed in a twilight palette of black, midnight blue, coffee, nude, alongside pops of fuschia and red.

Versace AW22 collection in photos
Dreaming of a glamorous post-pandemic night out? Versace has you covered. For AW22, their latest collection turned up the heat with the unmistakable Atelier Versace bustier at its core to usher the house forward for the next generation of modern It-girls. “Our cast of Versace Women for Fall-Winter 2022 is exciting,” Donatella Versace said. “Girls like Avanti, Anyier and Tilly perfectly represent a Versace with new generation attitude and they champion diversity. They embody the energy running through the collection and the looks built on contrast and tension—like an elastic band pulled tight and about to snap-back with a build-up of energy. That feeling is just irresistible to me. It opens new possibilities and makes things happen.” See every look now.
Moschino AW22 collection in photos
For Moschino’s AW22 collection, Jeremy Scott delved into the space of the surreal, taking inspiration directly from the Moschino archives: In 1989 and 1990, Franco Moschino had introduced cutlery brooches and hot-and-cold faucet handles in his ready-to-wear. Staged in a replicated set of the hotel bedroom in Stanley Kubrick’s ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’, opulent furnishings and decorations came alive across dresses, skirt-suits and outerwear. Glittering chandelier motifs swing on bodies, while silverware come into play as golden decorations of a bodice or as wraps on high heels. Click to see every look now.
Salvatore Ferragamo AW22 collection in photos
For Autumn/Winter 2022, Salvatore Ferragamo opted for an immersive presentation at the neoclassical Sala delle Cariatidi of Milan's Palazzo Reale instead of its usual ready-to-wear runway. Accompanied by a fashion film, the new collection reflected the global shift towards casualisation, deconstructing the codes of "casual" to rebuild them in a spirit of liberated precision and fluid expression. Silhouettes were modern and slender, mixing evening wear accents such as dramatic ruffles with everyday versatility across outerwear, knits and separates. See every look now.

Michael Kors Autumn/Winter 2022 collection in photos
The New York story continues: Stepping out in the Big Apple was the theme of Michael Kors' Autumn/Winter 2022 runway show, presented at the iconic music venue Terminal 5 in Manhattan to an euphonious performance by Miguel. "For this show, I wanted to bring the excitement and energy of a night on the town to life—because I think right now, no matter where you are, we’re all craving that,” said the eponymous designer. “And the clothes are really everything you need for stepping up, stepping out and making an entrance.” And so it was. Presented by a cast of supers including Adut Akech, Precious Lee, Alton Mason, Isabeli Fontana, Irina Shayk and the Hadid sisters, the collection toyed with the art of revealing and concealing––including everything from short hemlines to dramatic hoods and skin-baring cutouts.
