THE FULL REPORT: PETER PILOTTO AW13

All things Spanish was the name of the game at Peter Pilotto‘s AW13 show. Mariachi coats swung trapeze and the add-on cape was the feature of the moment so to temper the elaborate details of the clothes, the hair and beauty was muted, clean and sheen. Wax On Hair Anthony Turner was back once again in the Topshop Showspace with this troupe of lock-loving, scissor-wielding staff.

Sounds abstract? It was... Read More

THE FULL REPORT: PETER PILOTTO

The boys at Peter Pilotto are going from strength to strength! After the stellar reviews their AW11 collection received, the style set turned out in full force to see what Peter and Christopher would present for SS12. From the moment their first look made its way down the catwalk, the front row was mesmerised. Inspired by a recent trip to Indonesia where the design duo experienced "the lush jungles, the tea, coffee, cacao, and clove plantations" and saw "the... Read More
