The F/W 2026.27 Show Schedules...
((I thought the exact same thing but maybe she loves her as a designer/visual artist?

Richard Nicoll’s A/W 09 was the most somber show I have been to this week. I know I keep on mentioning the recession but it seems relevant at LFW’s Caligulian wealth orgy and I think Nicoll’s approach was one of the few which actually seemed to take the mood of day onboard. He used greys, blacks and creams in a variety of fabrics and was never pompous. The soundtrack was classical and confident and not as wildly optimistic as everyone else’s. It seemed that there was a weird clinical vibe in the whole space, even on people’s faces; but maybe I was just tweaking on free Red Bull.
Nicoll collects celebrity fans including Chloe Sevigny, Christina Ricci and, of course, London’s indie princess, Alexa Chung – who I caught up with briefly back stage.
Vice: Oh hi TV’s Alexa Chung, how are you? What do you think of Richard Nicoll?
Alexa Chung: I’m good thank you! I really liked it. I have to report it for Harper’s so I’ve just been drawing all of this stuff. I think the shapes were quite simple, although I think in terms of stuff I would actually wear I like the see-through Mac situation. There was like a two-piece suit and gold shirt that was really nice, other than I think it’s quite feminine for me.
So quite a lot of designers this week have been really “forward thinking” in regards to an optimistic response to the recession… This show was pretty somber though.
Oh so I haven’t actually been to any other shows, do you mean in terms of people in the audience or?
No, I mean designs.
Oh, er… I guess. I think that this show was quite nun-like, kind of pilgrim with a stray eighties vibe.
I was getting clinical vibes.
Yes…
Big plans this fashion week?
I can only go to shows today and tomorrow. I am filming with Grim next week. I am going to Aquascutum, PPQ, er, Louise Goldin… y’know, all those guys. Oh, and Henry Holland.
Good choices.
Sounds like it. Don't think she was at House of Holland today either, so hopefully she'll have to go to Milan and Paris to research whatever she's writingis she writing for harpers aswell???
