The seniors of Thomas Jefferson University’s College of Fashion & Textiles program had sustainable fashion on the brain at this year’s annual fashion show. Not unusual during a moment when more and more people are becoming concerned about the potential for a climate collapse, but it was reassuring to see that students have not…
Keep ReadingNew York Fashion Week – and with it, Fashion Month for the so-called “Big 4” – began in earnest yesterday (although some designers such as Collina Strada have still opted to show outside of the stated NYFW calendar dates of September 8th-12th). And with so many entrants showing – most of those shows being…
Keep ReadingParis Haute Couture Week (July 5th-8th) is being considered by many in the industry as a return to in-person shows. There are still some designers that are opting to do fashion films again, but that is to be expected. Though the pandemic is receding in some countries, it is still very much alive in…
Keep ReadingApril is not generally known for showing a wellspring of fashion collections. This year, however, many brands decided to show this month independent of their usual fashion calendars. Manic Metallic decided that it would be worth it to take a look at a few of them. Below, you’ll find reviews for Alessandro Michele’s Fall…
Keep ReadingParis Fashion Week was officially over a few days ago and, as we have done with a couple of previous fashion weeks, we created short video reviews for select PFW shows. Each video is under 60 seconds long, allowing for more insight than our previous shorter ones. In each video, you will see our…
Keep ReadingThe official schedule for New York Fashion Week wrapped up yesterday, but the American Collections Calendar will carry on for some time (for more on what the American Collections Calendar is, click here).

Keep ReadingIt seems like just yesterday that we were observing New York Fashion Week’s Spring/Summer 2021 collections. However, the fashion world is a hard and fast one, so the Fall/Winter 2021 shows are already upon us – having started yesterday. We are always eager to see the creative output of both the industry’s brightest talents…
Keep ReadingWe’re over halfway through Paris Haute Couture Week Spring/Summer 2021 and, while we’ve been wowed by some collections, we’ve been underwhelmed with others. We decided to do a 30-second review on each of the shows for everyone. In each of these videos, we give our Top 5 Looks from each collection along with the…
Keep ReadingParis Haute Couture Week’s Spring/Summer 2021 presentations started today (1/25), and will last through Thursday (1/28). As is to be expected during the Covid-19 era, no shows are allowed to have guests. This means that the vast majority of shows that have elected to remain on the Haute Couture schedule will be shown via…
Keep ReadingLondon Fashion Week, with regards to time, was a couple of days longer than New York Fashion Week. Somehow, though, there didn’t seem to be as many fashion shows/films/presentations/’however the designer chose to present’ as NYFW had. However, London’s shows and designs did not lack quality. Liberty, our founder, took in the shows and…
Keep ReadingNew York Fashion Week came and went like a thief in the night, and it’d be understandable if you missed it altogether – especially given global circumstances. We didn’t miss it, however. In fact, Liberty – our Founder/Editor-in-Chief – took in many of the shows on offer, and she created videos summarizing each full…
