“For me, the most radical fashion show must be the Rick Owens Steppers Vicious collection for spring/summer 2014. No words required really – just find a video of the steppers who performed with such energy and emotion and you’ll understand why I chose this show. This is fashion at its most affecting.”

“For me, this is one of the most memorable shows ever. The set was a train station, created by the Louis Vuitton team in a courtyard of The Louvre. It felt like being on a movie set, transporting you back to the Sixties – not just with the amazing designs from Marc Jacobs (the designer at the time) but the whole experience. As the show began and the music started, there was smoke everywhere and, suddenly, a real vintage train arrived at the station. It was totally totally surreal.”

“The first fashion show I saw was Alexander McQueen’s autumn/winter 1995 Highland Rape collection. I had just arrived in London to study at Central Saint Martins and a group of us disguised ourselves as photographers’ assistants to secure the best position in the house – the photographer’s pit. McQueen was already a hero to us. He was anti-establishment, young, brave and brutally talented. However, the show, to me, as a novice, was shocking.

“Against the backdrop of a giant graffitied snow mountain, based on the folk art work by Leonard Knight called ‘Salvation Mountain’ in California, Demna Gvasalia sent out his monumental autumn/winter 2018 collection. He explored giant volumes, with coats created out of eight layers of contrasting fabric compressed together, alongside mini cocktail dresses cut from velvet techno fabric that held a perfect silhouette in motion. There were so many ideas pushed to the extreme; it was thrilling yet wearable and echoed Cristobal Balenciaga’s obsession with precise architectural volumes. At the same time, the image of boys and girls on an expedition touched on migrant culture and the dream of transcendence.”
