Runway A/W2018

EDITOR’S LETTER
DEAREST RUNWAY READERS,
Well, what a right royal knees-up A/W18 turned out to be. Quite literally in fact, with
Hollywood royalty on the catwalks – Elle Fanning closed the Miu Miu show – as well
as the real deal in the audience (Her Majesty The Queen, may we say, makes the most
fabulous FROW centerpiece).
Our resplendent issue is equally majestic (if I do say so myself) and alongside our
reigning regulars, we have plenty more to whet one’s appetite.
We talk, for example, to Levi Palmer from palmer//harding (page 36) to get a unique
insight into the workings of the designers often referred to as ‘the shirt boys’. While over
on page 42 we switch our focus to up-and-coming designers at Graduate Fashion Week,
when we venture backstage with the L’Oreal Professionnel Portfolio Team. Finding looks
to work across numerous collections may sound a tad daunting but it’s hands down the
best backstage bootcamp for young hairstylists wanting to get into session work.
The crown for the best use of a hair accessory, however, has to go to King of the
Crocodile Clip, Guido, who managed to wrangle the ’80s hair-loom back from the
archives and make it cool again with Alexander Wang (see page 32).
All in all, it’s been a blast. Now, time for you guys to read on and be inspired to start
powering up those dryers and create some regal runway-inspired ’dos yourselves…
