1) spring/summer 1994, look 1
“Here’s how you make a statement about androgyny: spring/summer 94, look 1 — Jenny Shimizu in a sheer dress and men’s shoes.”

2) spring/summer 2006, look 20
“Sasha P in a white men’s shirt. That is all!”

3) fall/winter 2008, look 34
“Miuccia disliked this lace fabric so much she decided to make a collection out of it. The results of her subversive mishmash were astounding, from the nylon peplums to the knitted dicky collars.”

4) spring/summer 2009, look 15
“Watching this show was excruciating as the girls teetered around the room in mega-high sandal and sockette combos, but the clothes were absolutely stunning — like a 1940s Fijian dream. The shell earrings were a particularly nice touch.”

5) fall/winter 2009, look 27
“What better way to present a relatively mundane knitted cardigan than with these leather biker waders and felted boxer shorts? Sci-fi country files!”

6) spring/summer 2011, look 3
“Clashing hospital scrubs with twenties prohibition glamor.”

7) spring/summer 2013, look 32
“This was the season when everyone was looking east and we were bracing ourselves for an Asian invasion. Miuccia Prada-ized it with what I felt was a shocking “fur for summer” statement.”

8) fall/winter 2013, look 33
“I shot this look twice that season. I just loved the precision cutting and rubberized edges of the wool. Perfect.”

9) fall/winter 2014, look 42
“I love the weird Fraggle-like green fur dress mixed with the gold shearling.”

10) spring/summer 2015, look 20
“Love the color palette here and the buttery leather mixed with the raw-edged muslin turtleneck.”
