With the first autumn drops landing in stores, itll be spring/summer 2014 before we know it on the catwalks, at least. The LFW schedule is set, Whistles has confirmed a catwalk show, the Fashion East line-up has been unveiled And, over at Headonism, its all change, as Piers Atkinson is leaving the collective to make way for a new, as-yet unnamed new milliner.
He was one of the original members but hes a fully fledged milliner of his own now, and Im not saying he doesnt really need my help but I think we both felt it was time for him to move on a bit, Headonism founding father and master milliner Stephen Jones tells us.
Hes going to be showing with Noel Stewart at London, who was also one of the original members of Headonism, at London Fashion Week. Theyre actually on the stand just next door to us. Well be taking it in turns to go and get the coffee!
The newest member of Headonism will be unveiled just ahead of the shows in September but, in the meantime, Jones has given us a few hints at what we can expect from his spring collection to keep us going.
Its about freedom, he explains. Its not about one line, its not about one silhouette; its about all sorts of different things. Variety. Thats what fashions about. Its not about the one thing its about doing your own thing, and having fun.
