Runway Report: Fendi | Milan Spring 2016 RTW

By

Fendi | Milan Spring 2016 RTW Fendi Spring 2016 RTW Collection was a woven, whip stitched and harnessed to perfection. Most of the completely body-conscious dresses all had cut outs on the side at the waist, which made them look like two pieces joined with the centerpiece. Even though the dresses have cut outs on the side, they are wearable, interesting, and completely pretty. This cut out detail throughout the collection added uniformity and was…

Runway Report: London Spring 2016 RTW

By

Anya Hindmarch I love the Graphic greatness here. The Mod-Modern Top meets Wonder Woman Boots and classic shape tote full of fun.     Erdem It’s always great when the fabric’s patterns take you through the lines of the design. The bandeau and the detached sleeves were an mélange of both Current and centuries old. The Cameo patterned skirt was fitted and fluid in all the right places. Layers upon layers of silk chiffon were…

Runway Report: Yigal Azrouël | New York Spring 2016 RTW

By

The beauty in Yigal Azrouël’s Spring 2016 RTW collection is the juxtaposition of the very soft fluid fabric mixed with the tailored lines. Even when the garment is all lace, mostly see-through, and a body contouring design; there is something very alluringly feminine and lady like about it at the same time. The Collection is a unique balance of elegance, lines, and appeal. The garments were in all black, Yigal Azrouël’s signature black and white,…

Runway Report: Area | New York Spring 2016 RTW

By

Fluid, flowing, and fabulous! Area’s Spring 2016 RTW collection really was a stunner. It’s the product of collaboration between Beckett Fogg and Piotrek Panszczyk. It is a mixture of 70’s meets Louis XIV meets the future. If I had to make a conjecture, a beach would have been the inspiration. Water and sand are echoed through out the collection in form and in the color palette. From the garments, which take form fitting to a…

Runway Report: Antonio Marras | Milan Fall 2015 RTW

By

Art Nouveau (“New Art”) was considered to the forbearer of Modernism. The designs, art, furniture and textiles were all inspired by the sinuous lines of nature. The swirling and undulating flowers, vines, pods and leaves all curved to form what is known today as Art Nouveau. Antonio Marras’ collection was filled with Art Nouveau textiles and detailing. This can be seen in his clothing especially in the blue pieces and it is also echoed throughout…

Runway Report: Fashion Week Highlights | London Fall 2015 RTW

By

Here are my highlights from London Fashion Week Fall 2015 RTW     Marios Schwab These dresses are hauntingly beautiful and definitely dramatic. The details, in particular, the metal and leather made the inner anatomy outwardly beautiful. This was one of my favorite collections.     Emilia Wickstead Emilia Wickstead’s dress is pattern perfection. Not only is it graphic, but the draping and placement of pattern delivers a dramatic and flattering silhouette.       Erdem…

Runway Report: Cushnie et Ochs | New York Fall 2015 RTW

By

Cushnie et Ochs Cushnie et Ochs sent curve conscious clothing down the runway. Their collection this year seemed to have a lot of elements from the 30’s and 70’s, which they translated into contemporary shapes. It was tailored and sleek yet feminine and flowing. Michele Ochs and Carly Cushnie manage to have a mix of really sinuous lines that accentuate the best part of women. The clothes are completely wearable. There are some items, which…

Runway Report : Thom Browne | New York Fall 2015 RTW

By

Thom Browne: New York Runway | Fall 2015 RTW Thom Browne’s latest fall 2015 collection brought Showtime’s Penny Dreadful to mind.  The late Victorian Era is often referred to as “The Cult of Mourning”.  This is due to the fact that Queen Victoria’s late husband Prince Albert was the love of her life and after his death, she spent the rest of her life, which spanned 4 more decades mourning him. This meant wearing all…

Runway Report : Alexander Wang | New York Fall 2015 RTW

By

Alexander Wang: New York Runway | Fall 2015 RTW “I’ll stop wearing black when they invent a darker colour.”   Wednesday Addams. One can’t help but think that if Wednesday Addams was a grown-up this is what she would look like in present day. Cool, powerful, mysterious, dark, interesting with a bit of Punk, Goth and Heavy-Metal all mixed up. I loved this show. I like to be transported, which Alexander Wang does through the uniformity of his…
