McQueen Brings Asia

Hello!

One of my favourite designers of all time is Alexander McQueen. After his passing the fashion world looked to Sarah Burton to see what she would accomplish with the label. Season after season I waited in anticipation to see what direction she will take the name.

Her collections have wowed me I have to say. I have loved the different styles she has shown from previous collections and this season brought Asia to the runway. The collection was inspired by a personal collection of antique kimono's. Floral prints and embellishment adored the looks in an array of array of fabrics including wool, silk, marquetry leather and even hand cut floral ruffles. Modern, feminine, dark but stunning all at the same time. Its a gorgeous collection. Full of floral influences from Asia with traditional styles with modern contemporary twists. This to me is the idea of classic with twists. This may become my choice for best collection of the season!

I abosoutley love this collection! It took a while but i've chosen 5 of my favourite looks from the show. Below is also an illustration i did of a look from the show also! Hope you enjoy!

Viktor and Rolf

Hello!

How are you? Designers that always try new things in their collection are always my favourites. Always pushing their label and showing their customers new styles and showing a new direction but with styles that stay true to their brand image. Viktor and Rolf are one label for me that definitely do this.

For the spring and summer 2015 show the label looked to sporty notes mixed with feminine loose silhouettes and floral prints. This collection really stands out for me for summer. Its very clean, sporty but different to the other ways I've seen the sports trend being used  by other designs in their spring an summer 2015 collection's. Innovative cuts and stitching showed just what the Viktor and Rolf label are best at. Doing the odd, the edgy but the wearable. If I could sum up this collection in three words it would be innovative, sporty and effortless. A stunning collection.

LFW Review - The Best

Hello!

It's  been that hectic, fantastic and stylish week again that is London fashion Week!  That means it's time for a look at my best shows from the whole event! London Fashion Week is known for being edgy, fun, loud and obviously amazing (it's Britain of course!) so did LFW live up this time?

12/09/14 - J JS Lee - This is a new designer to me and I have to say that it was a good first impression. Love the clean, modern and simplistic style to the collection! 

13/09/14 - Ong Oaj Pairam - WOW. This collection is stunning. New, edgy, classic and modern with a cultural edge. Amazing! A designer to watch!  

13/09/14 - Lucas Nascimento - This collection really shows LFW to be the forefront for modern pattern cutting, forward thinking and modern style. Love it! (So good I had to put two shows in at best for this date!)

 

14/09/14 - Mary Katrantzou - instead of digital prints for this collection, Mary used interesting fabrics and tailoring with soft touches to bring a collection that is simply beautiful.

 

 

 

15/09/14 - Issa - This is a fun, innovative and crew collection that is simple, pretty and modern all wrapped up! 

16/09/14 - Anya Hindmarch - These looks definitely caught my attention! Surprising, innovative, creative and amusing! Wow. 

 

 

I think it's safe to say that London Fashion Week has yet again shown what Britain can do with fashion and creativity! Always an event to attended and one that never, ever lets you down! Shame the same can't be said about the weather! What did you ink to the shows? Which was your favourite? Come back next time for LFW Review - The "Worst"! Remember to "Always Be Classic". Looking forward to Milan Fashion Week (MFW) next! Bring it on D&G! Let me know what you think! Comment below and share the love!

NYFW Review - The Best!

Hello!

Blog time again and this time its all about one of the major events to happen this month (fashion month) which was New York Fashion Week! This is one of my favourite times of the year as it means you can fully immerse yourself in the world of fashion for four weeks and gain an unbearable amount of inspiration! Show after show, collection after collection, social media frenzies and  FROW (front row) buzz NYFW came to an end on the 11/09/14. A unfortunate day, however the show must go on. In this blog post I'll reveal my favourite collections! Next time: The "Worst" of NYFW!
Favourites:

4/09/14 - Nicolas K SS15 - This collection was all about effortless safari style. Adventure, drapery, tassels, silks and neutral tones such as khaki, black, white and camel. Beautiful.

05/09/14 - Jason Wu SS15 - A stunning collection. Modern, clean, elegant and soft. This collection to me showcases modern fashion but with classic ideas. Minimal with clean lines, mixtures of prints and textures with drapery, ease and a looser silhouette being key. A beautiful collection.

06/09/14 - Alexander Wang SS15 - Ultra modern with interesting cuts, lines and prints. With the world moving forward so fast and the future becoming ever more realistic Alexander Wang SS15 showcased looks that brought fashion into the modern age. Splashes of colour amongst black and white make for a fun, quite masculine and futuristic but wearable collection. Amazing!

07/09/14 - Diane Von Frustenburg SS15 - A very colourful, fun and lively collection. Gingham, floral, stripes and more prints combined in the collection. Feminine and innocent with a hint of sexy. A great collection. The looks showcased the female form and celebrated being girly and fun with fashion. Kendall Jenner also walked the runway fort he designer!

08/09/14 - Carolina Herrera SS15 - For this collection prints focused on two things. The ultra modern, clean shapes and gradients that can be created on computers and classic floral shapes and colours. Two contradicting concepts mashed together to create intriguing prints for Carolina Herrera's show. Clean and modern this was a lovely show. Elegant, feminine and sophisticated. All what I'd expect from the designer.

09/09/14 - Rodarte SS15 - When I think of this collection three words come to mind. Eclectic, soft and utility. This collection was a mix of utility jackets, drapery and a mix and match of prints, colours and textures. Navy, khaki and white were the main feature colours. Wow!

10/09/14 - Oscar De La Renta SS15 - Wow. Bright, feminine, classic and pretty. This collection showcased what the designer is known for. Being classic and feminine. Pinks, whites, lace, sheer and floral all combined to make a collection that is a must see. These are pieces worth saving up for ladies!

11/09/14 - J.Mendel SS15 - Clean, modern, panels, multicolour fur and drapery. Stunning and fun collection. I haven't viewed many collections by this designer before however that has changed as I can't wait to see what this designer will bring next season.

I think its fair to say that New York Fashion Week brought us amazing fashion for 8 full days! Wow! Stunning collections! What was your favourite collection from NYFW? Let me know! Come back next time to see what collection I  thought should've had a little longer on the drawing board! Follow the blog to keep up to date on the latest posts and more! Thank you!
