12pm EST: One emerging trend that's not going to make many people happy is see through. Sheer layers at Tom Ford, Rag & Bone, Jason Wu and Jenny Packham to name a few. What's on the catwalk is often a dramatic version of what hits the stores, so we can but hope there's some underlayers inserted at some point along the line. A nice thermal under vest, perhaps, because that won't ruin the look at all, no?
11.30am EST: Interesting news this morning that Nicola Formichetti has been confirmed as new creative director at Mugler. Formichetti wears many, very stylish, hats but the one he's most notable (notorious, perhaps) for is stylist to Lady Gaga. So quite what we'll see next season on the Mugler catwalk is anyone's guess. Giant telephone dresses? Couture gowns made entirely from proscuitto? Kermit-encrusted trousers? Though if there's one thing Lady Gaga wouldn't wear, it's trousers ...
11am EST: Looking back to yesterday's shows, the British press have, of course, gone to town on Victoria Beckham - ourselves included, I hasten to add - but interestingly the reaction in the US press is notable for its absence. The New York Times hasn't reviewed the collection at all, though they did run this feature a week or so ago - with the great headline, "Victoria Beckham: Is she for real?". It also revealed to me the shocking news that she has music lessons for her career in the Spice Girls. I really, really hope she got a refund.
