The First

Hello again!

Hope everyone has had a great weekend and that going back to work isn't too bad! With this blog post I want to give you all an update and a look in to the latest collection being designed here at Ryan Pilkington!

Recently with orders being placed for evening wear I have had opportunities to look more into one of my favourite parts of the fashion world. Evening wear and haute couture. Designers like Elie Saab are my favourites. Always stunning, feminine and classic. I love seeing the details, the silhouettes and fabrics. As you'll soon find out "classic is my favourite word".

 

"Classic is my favourite word"

I wanted to use this information and growing interest a little more and design a small capsule collection of 8 looks and this would become the first collection officially designed for the Ryan Pilkington brand/business! Very exciting! With the collection, that's in the works now, I wanted to design looks that are classic, unique and sexy. It's no secret that the colour black is like the sword in the stone for fashion. Loved by all, this colour is the main colour for the collection. Dark, mysterious, intriguing and sexy this colour said everything I wanted with this collection.

Along the silhouette lines fort he collection I wanted simple elegance. No fussiness, nothing that was overworked or too flashy. This collection is more a celebration and a look into simplicity. The form of the female body and the classic chicness of letting just the shape of the woman and the fall of the fabric  do the talking. No distractions. Following along with those key points for the collection in mind I thought of fabrics. Silk is classic, falls beautifully and slides on the skin. This was the first obvious choice and then came lace. Lace is a cheeky fabric I find. The idea that your still wearing a piece of fabric however around 80% of it is sheer. Covered but exposed at the same time. Add black, silk and lace together and this is the foundations for the Black Classics Collection by Ryan Pilkington.

I See You

Sheer. It's cheeky, tempting and sexy. Designers love using daring materials in clothing so sheer fabric is often used in many collections. Erdem didn't disappoint this season with their usage. They designed sheer beaded dressed with white garments underneath to hide the models dignity. With sheer being thin and obviously see through its the perfect summer fabric. If your going on a hot summer holiday this year then sheer garments are the way to go. Now, not all women are likely to walk out of their houses with just their pants, bra and a sheer dress on so here are some high street ideas so you can still wear sheer, but a little more conservatively.

Wear a black sheer blouses over a black vest. This is a good idea if your quite modest but still like the see through idea. A good tip is a black form fitting vest with a black sheer blouse. This would also work for the office so you know you can still be sexy in the work place. If you want to be a little more daring then why not place your black sheer blouse over a plain black bra. This look has been seen before and never disappoints. Daring and sexy. If your wanting to wear a sheer dress this season but aren't very daring then don't worry. On the high street there are dresses that have sheer panels and dresses that have sheer material continuing on from the dress. Perfect if you want a little more peek a boo to your outfits.

I love this trend, it's daring, sexy but also wearable and available on the hi street. Looks like summer gonna be a sheer one !
