P&G Beats Revenue Estimates, Flags Bigger Hit to Annual Profit
The maker of Pantene shampoo was helped by strong personal care demand, but expects higher commodity costs to reduce profit by about $1.4 billion this year.

The tropical-hued collection was much less complicated than in the past, with simple shapes, silhouettes and a strong emphasis on print.

This season, the British high street brand made some dramatic changes to its fashion show strategy, doing away with Topshop Unique and adopting a younger tone.

The concept wasn't obvious and it also wasn't the major attraction. That honour was reserved for the designer's exquisite tailoring, which got its moment in the spotlight.

Donatella Versace didn’t want the collection to look “fashion-y”. On paper, that adds an element of anarchy. In actuality, the fashion element remained.

Despite renewed energy around the brand — including a relaunched magazine — there was no halo effect for the collection.

If the collection’s archness was distancing, it struck one genuine chord with the designer’s tribute to soon-to-close Colette.

The designer's show felt light and poetic: another small step forward in her ongoing mediation on what contemporary classicism should be.

Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi delivered an assured range of floaty, lingerie-style dresses, but it was a bit out of sync with the times.

The long-time purveyor of the architectural, nipped silhouette embraced childhood and a new fluidity.

Each of the incubator's three designers mined their own identities for inspiration.
