Runway S/S19

EDITOR’S LETTER
EDITOR’S LETTER
…And S/S19 is officially a wrap, dear Runway readers!
Quite literally in fact, from Korean rappers storming the catwalk at Chocolab
(turn to That Was The Season on page 14 to find out more) to the beautiful silk
scarf wraps at Dolce & Gabbana (see The Trends from page 16). So now to
reflect on what a season it’s been – when it comes to seriously chic fashion
credentials, London is often dismissed as the kooky little sister to fashion
week’s heavyweights (Paris, we’re looking at you). So it was rather satisfying to
see it take centre stage. Showcasing debut collections from Alexa Chung as well
as welcoming Riccardo Tisci to the Burberry fold (see Top Five Moments from
page 6) our capital city did us proud – no coincidence then that Guido Palau
decided to make a lengthy return to London (see page 38). We’ve also caught
up with the King of Colour, Josh Wood (page 34) and runway ray of light,
Tina Outen (page 36) for more backstage action from the leads. But Runway
is as much about you guys as it is our Fashion Week favourites, so we also
explore the way that lead hair stylists and designers are coupled up for
collaborations at On|Off (page 40), as well as looking at how session styling
and working backstage can help boost skills back in the salon (see page 46).
Feeling inspired? We’ve only just begun…
