(7) If London Calls, You’ll Answer
Whether it’s Gucci’s
neat white Beatles
suit or something more subversive from Junya Watanabe, a decidedly British mood was in the air. Particularly groovy were Balenciaga’s skinny stovepipe trousers
paired with a rock T-shirt.
Vivienne Westwood evoked punk’s true spirit with knits that announced “I am not a terrorist.”

(8) You’ll Raid
His Tie Rack
After a brief foray as
