Say goodbye to all the heyday in the blogosphere: PFW has come to an end (saddening, to say the least). However, the buzz surrounding the great looks from this year's collections is far from stopping. A great many trends dotted the runways of each fashion week (here's to you New York and Milan <3) - oversized outerwear, for example, stood alongside deconstructed garments of a diaphanous nature. In terms of colorways, pastels and muted hues took presence, while patterns and prints danced in tandem with evening wear (Elie Saab, for instance). My favorite trend you ask? Peplums! Christopher Bailey's collection from Burberry Prorsum exhibited rampant use of these. Yet again they appeared in the Mugler collection and Castiglioni showed no qualms in adding these to her show. Here's my favorite look :
Castiglioni's RTW collection (making a dash from "rounds to corners") eschews her signature prints to a degree. Bold, geometric details were the star of the show, while gold-adorned elements added whimsical classiness to looks of a more mature nature. Overall, I felt that this collection was tailored more for the older blokes (more or less) vs her collection at H&M. She'd have to try really hard to make me not adore her line. Great job chicka <3
As if to blaze the trails of innovation, the Louis Vuitton collection deserves special mention. First off, Marc Jacobs is a GENIUS (that's putting it mildly). After already dazzling me with his RTW collection last month , I'm yet again having to curb my zeal for his designs. By way of extension from NYFW, the LV show had a large takeaway: a railroad motif set the pace for models decked in more "Mary Poppins"-ish garments (vintage, oversized hats yet again), although these looks were elevated to an extent by the inclusion of "porters" who accoutered the looks with accessories. Lengthened, sleek a-line garments, jewel encrusted duffles and carryalls were shown. Feathers, a minor but distinct detail, made an appearance, while youthful patterns and overdyed prints carried the looks to prominence. Here are a couple of pics for good measure:
Have a great day :]
