Milan Fashion Week Gucci S/S 2013

20 Sep

Milan fashion week Gucci Spring/Summer 2013.

I LOVED all the beautiful brights colors in this collection as well as the flouncy sleeves and ruffles.  The palette included fuchsia, yellow, cobalt blue and teal among others.  The accessories were pretty great too, I would wear every strappy heel that strutted down that runway and I really liked the heavily jeweled necklines and collars. This collection was definitely bright and beautiful.

NYFW Rachel Zoe S/S 2013

Rachel Zoe Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

Inspired by the 70’s and Jane Birkin’s androgynous aesthetic, this collection was the epitome of sexy cool.  Effortless glam came to mind over and over.  The palette included beautiful teals, mints as well as neutrals and black & white combos.  The accessories were pretty amazing as well…… I loved the bags, hats and necklaces, very reminiscent of the Halston era, which I love!

Tory Burch Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

This collection definitely spoke to my inner traveler, I wanted to book a Palm springs weekend getaway as soon as I saw it!!!  Pretty preppy meets boho chic, there were plenty of eccentric eye-catching prints along with matching bags. Very cute, colorful and casual collection.

 

 

 

NYFW Carolina Herrera S/S 2013

Carolina Herrera Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

What a pleasant surprise!!!! I must admit I’ve come to expect the same beautiful collections from Carolina Herrera, she has a very easy to identify aesthetic, almost predictable.  This collection, however was not the norm for her.  Was it beautiful as usual? yes!  Was it the same as usual?……not at all!  For a change, this collection included so many fresh and modern pieces in addition to her usual gowns.  The lines were clean, most looks were belted at the waist and there was plenty of color and geometric prints. The embellished collars were pretty amazing too. I am totally impressed…..I know designers can venture out of their fashion box only to find disastrous results, not this time…… well done!

NYFW Vera Wang RTW S/S 2013

Vera Wang Ready to wear Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

With an “out of india” theme, this collection was a hit!  There was a beautiful palette of colors including rich greens, purples and gold. Shapes ranged from structured to fluid and much attention was paid to detail( no shocker, Vera is a perfectionist).  I also loved all the use of chantilly hand pieced lace, so pretty.

NYFW Marc Jacobs S/S 2013

11 Sep

Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2013 collection. I think Jacob’s channelled his inner Tim Burton for this collection.  There was no shortage of boldly patterned pieces with stripes being the main course!!  Every take on a stripe was included, vertical, horizontal, thin, wide etc.  Boxy shapes dominated the modern, yet very 60’s inspired collection.

NYFW Victoria Beckham S/S 2013

10 Sep

Victoria Beckham Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

This former spice girl who was laughed at when she first announced her love for design is a now a force to be reckoned with.  Her only four year old label is fast becoming the show to watch at fashion week.  Beckham’s palette included black, white, beige and punches of a bright orangey/tomato red hue. She remained true to her clean yet sexy aesthetic with her lady like pieces and trademark body-con dresses. This is the best work I’ve seen from Beckham, very nice!

P.S. More knee high sandals!!!!!!!!

 

 

NYFW Alexander Wang S/S 2013

Alexander Wang Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

This collection brought to mind urban street style meets uniformity.  The palette was neutral.  I would have liked to see a touch more color for Spring but Wang is known for his edgy aesthetic and futuristic minimalism, so such simplicity is to be expected. T-shirts and dresses with boxy silhouettes dominated while there was plenty of slashed up leather which Wang called “leather blocking”.  There were also more knee-high sandals which will be a big trend for Fall.
