The Summer collection of the casual label Rag & Bone from New York is one of these that are always best for… life! What I loved in this season at Rag & Bone was the easiness of all the dressesm jacket and tops… The colours were really light- beautiful shades of blue, pink, violet and orange were seen mixed with classical black and white. And the must-have’s from Rag & Bone are definetely the black and white knitwears and these beach dresses- they looked great on the models! And there is also a small beauty note that will be hit this season…. it’s the orange lips! Yes, all the models had their lips in neon orange colour that looked refreshing and really eye-catchy! Let the Easy-to-go style rule the Summer season!

Sirens. Jason Wu SS14
For the moment, Jason Wu is my favourite collection from New York Fashion Week! With Karen Elson opening the show and some golde modern lamps around the runway, it all felt so silent and peaceful… The first looks, kept in beige shades, were all about mixing masculine tailorship with feminine cuts. The details on the skirts and dresses looked amazing, and when Karlie Kloss walked the runway in that fairy-tale dress, the only thought that is still is in mind: New York sirens. At the end there were lots of blue and tourquoise sequins that looked beautiful… I should say that Jason Wu nailed it. Really. These clothes would look lovely in a film… maybe something about luxurious yacht sailing, full of champagne and sirens in the water around? Masterpiece!
Cool Girls. Peter Som SS14
The second day of fashion week in New York is all about Summer glamour, lightness and bright prints- but not as last summer, where we could see only stripes. No it’s all about a la Emilio Pucci prints that look super sexy on the swimsuits. The Peter Som collection for SS14 was definetely one of these cool shows. The blue colours looked refreshing, just like the geometric lines and white, over large dresses! The collection was a bit about the style of mixing prints and trends- it was a pleaure to see these vintage looking shoes in leo dots mashed up into the look of the beautiful balloon white dress. This young designer’s leather speciality is for sure the eel skin- this pretty specific fabric was used to cover whole coat that looked marvellous! But, I can’t hide my impression, that Peter certainly did copy some details from past collections of his New York “in the proffesion” friends…
NYC. Creatures of The Wind SS14
Surprise, surprise! NYFW just started! Full of energy and fresh designers, the first day was all about… style of New Yorker “too-cool-to-care” style, that is always bright and not banal! S, here I am writing about the first, selected by me collection of New York Fashion Week (last year we started with Alexander Wang!), Creatures of The Wind. This young label designed by duo of “cool” boys is a definition of youth and coolness of NYC people. It is a mix of python prints, colour blocks, flower embroideries, loose trousers and straight forms that look casual and at the same time extremely elegant- but with fantasy. What I seriously loved about this season at CoTW were the fabrics- beautiful, a bit rustical rose embroideries mixed with super modern materials… And the structural skirts looked like art pieces on the models silhouette. This is a extremely cool collection. Can’t wait for more NYFW that is always exciting!
Pink Blush!
Who said that pink was only for Barbie dolls? For sure not the designers for Autumn-Winter 2013! This season was a pure pink colour explosion. From Miu Miu polka dot coats to Simone Rocha super cute pastel dresses, the runways were flowing with pink. But it wasn’t about just one shade of pink- there was the soft bluch (Dior), candyfloss (Roksanda Ilincic), pastel gingham (Prada), fierce fuchsia (Dries Van Noten) and many more types of pink prints, fabrics and furs. In other words, pink made a suprise appearance throughout the shows. So banich the black and bury the beige in your wardrobe! From now on girls, pink got words to say to the fashion world!
