Haider Ackermann’s men collections are always my favourite. Haider, known for his Andalusian-Parisian chic, makes men and women always look stylish and unique. This super luxurious collection of silk, jacquard and leather is of course nothing else! The AW14 was a mix of comfortable, long-length coats, jackets reminding tunics and greatly crafted sweatpants that just gave the whole collection a street wear vibe. And of course the non-chalantly tied scarf… so Ackermann! I would definitely wear all of this.
Collection
Coool. Piece d’Anarchive SS14
French art students learn about Jean Pierre Raynaud at school. He was the conceptualist who spent 25 years building his house, only to decide it was too perfect and, in 1993, tear it to bits. Piece d’Anarchive, the fresh label coming straight from Paris, is a buzzy, loudly printed and cool vibed brand, that’s pretty new in fashion world. Their first real collection happened last season, and their second is up here, for Spring. Piece d’Anarchive designs for men and women, and their look-books make me want everything! The new collection is inspired with famous monochrome prints that were created by Jean Pierre Raynaud. Shorts, dresses, shoes (!), tshirts… everything is in black & white checks. The womenswear looks really hot and cool, and menswear is simply omething I want for a Christmas present! Just look at these trousers and sweatshirts! Love it! More on http://www.piecedanarchive.com
City Girl. Rag & Bone Pre-Fall’14
Rag & Bone’s new collection for Fall is a selection of basic black & white clothes for every city-jungle girl. Everything looks very comfortable and easy to wear- just like everything what’s Rag & Bone. Mixed with every-day life accessories like I ❤️ NY bag or Coca-Cola can, the collection seems to be great for every occasion- for work, jog in the park or a evening party at your friends! What do you think?
Peacoat. Altuzarra Pre-Fall’14
Joseph Altuzarra’s New York based label Altuzarra had it’s first ever Pre-Fall collection launched yesterday. As the brand is sponsored and owned by Kering Group, this elegant label shows it’s best this Pre-Fall season. The classical peacots, Romanian blouses, French stripes… Altuzarra is showing it’s sex-appeal and NY chic in all of these looks. Beautiful colours like red, beige and orange were amazingly composed in checked dresses and skirts… The Altuzarra woman for fall is elegant, but keeps it modern and sexy for everyday! And… Some good news are coming- mules are trendy for good. Just have a look!
Sharp Cut Minimalism
The SS14 by Victoria Beckham has it’s own, minimalistic mood, that I truly love. And by saying minimalism, I don’t mean the one that is presented at Celine or Jil Sander- Victoria, throughout the seasons sculpted her own style vision, that she’s devoted to in every collection and her everyday style. Kept in mostly black & white colours, the fuxia bright truss patterns on the shirts and skirts simply took all the brave away in the middle of the show. The jackets, bags and shoes looked all pretty comfortable, while the whole collection had it’s architectural, sharp cut in it. Victoria Beckham’s SS14 is a collection by strong women, who mixes work and family in a great style. By the way- the opening of the show was amazing- thanks to Edie Campbell, and the beautiful white-jacket-black-trousers outfit she wore!
