Miuccia Prada is a fashion genius. If her collections are beautiful, they are beautiful. If their are ugly, they are also beautiful! The Winter 2014 collection was the one that classified into the beautiful one! And it really was! I am always excited about Prada shows, so I saw it livestream on style.com! And I felt like if I was there. The show that had a moving film on walls, started with a black dress with a cut out triangle on shoulders that was realeated in many other colours and in metallic shades.

A really cool thing was the furry… Don’t how to call it… The models were wearing it on the back between hands. It gave a femine, mature look, however it was mixed with grunge boots. Miuccia also put into the collection brownish-khaki stripes that looked smart casual. And again there was this dress with the shoulders thing! It looks spectacular!

I loved the look that Saskia de Brauw wore- the midi red leather skirt, black top and blue coat. Looked so romanic and 40’s! And the colour I was stunned with was the tourquoise- it was like everywhere! Whole collection was highly inspired with 40’s and 50’s. The alligator leather, fur and strong colours are indicating this! So are we going back to basics?

Metallic dresses… Yes! In gold and silver tones! Some pink colour came on the runway that made the sweet girl effect. However this sweet girl was killed by the elegant but grungy look that was made thanks to the incredible boots.

Prada put on rich and luxury as most of the designers for this season. The ending look was top- a big coat made out of Sobol! It looked so mind blowing! I think, every Prada’s collection tells it’s own remarkable story. This season had one of the best!

Pop It. Tom Ford AW13

Tom Ford, that is now having a rebirth of his label that was for time being making cosmetics, and really long time ago was creative director of Gucci, is debuting with his third collection on London Fashion Week. Now I’m saying this. He is my favorite of the week. His collections are for real, they’ve got fur in great amounts (sorry PETA and eco fans), luxury embroinment on skirts and pants with Chinatown inspired flowers from the elegant lounges and clubs for elite. After a serie of super luxury sportwear with animal print a bit of black minimalism came on amazing sweaters.

Ford was also inspired with Neons/pop art. Just look at the dresses and jackets! These Kapow patterns that are known from Roy Lichtenstein art are mind blowing. And what’s very Tom, is that he didn’t put these Kapow’s everywhere- no he used it in subtel, delicate amount, mostly on maxi gowns.

When the furs came around I thought to myself “Altuzarra and Prabal Gurung, take notes or run away”! The long, higly tailored coats with laser cut leather and white fur were breath taking! I was jst stunned.

And the funniest part of the show was when the “zebras” came! The long evening gowns with sequined stripes in black and white were so classical but modern! Really the collection left me in many points totally stunned. And I was feeling, like if the models came out from a elite and luxury lounge somewhere in London, decorated in Chinese like ornaments and 60’s- 70’s prints… Tom Ford collection was BEST from whole London Fashion Week!
