Alexander McQueen
The Flower Men
One of the coolest trend from the menswear Fashion Week SS14, is for sure the floral print. It was everywhere! It was all about the variety- from sun flowers to orchids. The king of that print was definitely Dries Van Noten. His collection was very street style, comfortable and simply chic. And florals were like everywhere! On the tank tops to the sweat pants.
The exotic one was 3.1. Philip Lim with the hummingbirds and hibiscus that decorated the tops. Miuccia Prada offered knitwear with Vietnamese flowers and Raf Simons took to a scientist laboratory, where his fantastic t-shirts had some notes written around the botanical specie… I think that was the most floral season for a really long time at men’s runway, and I think that’s totally right?
🌹Rosed Hair AW13 💇
The hair at Alexander McQueen was a real masterpiece on head. Yes, maybe it was covered with a gold crown, but it was still visible… The curly “roses” on head coloured light blond looked stunning. And very romantic in a slightly romantic twist… The same kind of hairstyle was at Givenchy, where models had their hair in all colours- violet, orange, blue, pink. And it was created by Guido Palau, that as always striked his ideas in a very right context! The floral prints that were seen on the runway were a right match up for the colourful wigs!
The Anglican Romance
I’ve got a serious fuse about Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall, Menswear and Womenswear AW13. Sarah Burton’s Anglican inspired romantic dresses for Pre-Fall are pure gothic chic with the minimalistic ends and beautiful details. The menswear was full of strained glass print full of oranges and reds. And the smokings looked really great! But best of all was the ten look collection of the main line at women… The fur, feathers, pearls, leather… What a beautiful collection! I really love the Sarah Burton gothic influence, and the hairstyles are really great… More soon…
