Editor’s Letter It was the Fall of 2015 and as I stepped out of the black cab and walked into the Bora Aksu catwalk, the thrill of being in London and witnessing my first show was amazing—well, if you must, brilliant.

That level of excitement hasn’t diminished one bit as we jump forward two years and several seasons later. There’s just a certain feel and style that can only originate from the catwalks of London.

And don’t get me started with the street style. The street style in London is unparalleled—it’s impressive, it’s edgy—it’s such a circus (in a good way).

For this edition of our Fashion Week Chronicles, we’re bringing you some familiar favorites such as designers Paul Costelloe and Jasper Conran, as well as some new designers that you should definitely take note.

Better yet, just take a look at their collections and you decide since we are definitely bringing you the gamut of fashion in this edition.

A very special thanks to all the designers who invited us to their catwalks and presentations. We are humbled to be a part of your unveiling and are excited to share your collections in our unique way. I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank Contributing Photographer Ashanti Jason, who covered two of the shows this season. She is one talented photographer.

I hope you enjoy our coverage of LFW and find something inspiring for your upcoming Spring/Summer wardrobe. And don’t forget to check out our coverage of NYFW SS18 as well.

Paris in the Springtime...

Paul Costell There is magic in the air. Once the music begins, we are transported to the wide boulevards of Paris, maybe Washington, DC and to a time of refined elegance. Feminine silhouettes painted in pastel shades parade down the catwalk and we are mesmerized by the beauty, the style and the poetry of it all. This is the magic created by Paul Costelloe.
