A tribute to Alexander McQueen

It's a very sad day for fashion. The sudden death of Alexander McQueen has left the fashion world deeply shocked on this, the first day of New York fashion week. He was undoubtedly one of the greatest designers of our generation, possibly of all time. His collections and shows have always generated excitement and sometimes controversy, but over the years he has become the most iconic figure in British fashion. Both he and his creations will be greatly missed and our thoughts are with his family and close friends.

Our fashion week line-up

With the start of New York fashion week just days away, the farfetch.com blog team is feeling like a coiled spring – we’re just bursting to get going on bringing you daily reviews, images and videos of all the action on, off and behind the catwalks at the four major cities. In the Big Apple, we’ve got our roving reporter, fashion writer Indigo Clarke, who’ll be blogging on the best of the US shows from Alexander Wang to Proenza Schouler. In London Violaine Bernard, PR Director at London boutique Feathers will be our blogger at large, front row at some of the city’s coolest shows. Then it’s on to Milan where Tessabit’s Andrea Molteni will report on the Italian big guns – their runway shows, presentations and parties, before the finale in Paris, where Robin Schulié, buyer at the iconic Maria Luisa, will take the baton and give us his candid opinions on all the happenings at the Prêt à Porter collections. Roll on Thursday!

Sunny Side Up

The FF team is all excited about a couple of pairs of sunglasses that have just arrived online today (yes we know, tiny things...). Designed by Giles Deacon for sunglasses super-label Linda Farrow, they're just what we need to kick off a springtime spending splurge, that will inevitably result in new pieces of clothing, shoes, bags, you name it. But it won't be long before the sun is shining again and our new Giles sunglasses, with their neat little details, will come into their own and be garnering admiring glances from our friends (and enemies).

We're the Best New Etailer!

The team here got a real boost yesterday evening when farfetch.com was awarded the title of Best New Etailer at the prestigious Drapers Etail Awards. It was nail-biting stuff at the ceremony, held in central London and hosted by a glamorous-looking Claudia Winkleman. Our CEO and founder José Neves collected the award to plenty of applause and a good deal of champagne flute clinking. Farfetch.com was praised by the judges, that included representatives from Google and WGSN, for its sheer innovation in bringing together 40 boutiques in one ecommerce website, for choosing very credible partners (but you know that already) and for a smart back office system that allows those boutiques to fulfil the orders themselves, direct from their store. So without sounding too arrogant we’d like to give ourselves a big pat on the back, and of course say thank you to all our partners and our loyal customers who have made it all possible. Upwards on onwards I guess!

Like a Prayer

As one of our favourite labels (and of course one of farfetch.com’s boutique partners) the Blaak Homme show in Paris is always a highlight of the menswear calendar. The AW10 presentation proved no exception with designers Aaron Sharif and Sachiko Okada working their seemingly effortless take on contemporary male dressing into a collection with religious undertones. Accessorised with rosaries with large silver crosses and in some cases crowns of thorns, the models strode out with the laid-back attitude that Blaak always purveys. Sombre in palette, but highlighted by various grey checks, white shirting and the cut-out and re-worked textures that the duo seems to love, the collection manages to be both wearable and avant-garde, and just a little bit controversial.  Tailoring as always is a strong point - velvet suits and belted double-breasted blazers all with a signature relaxed and flattering fit. This collection should arrive online at farfetch.com from July. If you can't wait that long for a bit of Blaak, the SS10 collection arrives any day now.
