Tweet LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM [JANUARY 12, 2015] – If tomorrow Carlo Brandelli were to lose all his earthly possessions, including the creative directorship of Kilgour (it would be the second time he’s let that go), then he’d be just fine. Beneath his tinted spectacles the designer radiates a total self-assurance that makes one think he’d do very well leading a cult. Which, to some men, is sort of what Brandelli’s Kilgour is and was anyhow. Since today’s outing was the first B

Tweet LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM [JANUARY 12, 2015] – “I’m obsessed with modern artists like Jeff Koons, KAWS, and Jennifer Saville: You either love them or hate them, and it’s the same way with me,” said Katie Eary after showing her Fall collection.
