Ruffles! Everywhere! On trousers, on shirts, on dresses – a ruffle mania. Rosie Assoulin presented a playful collection, which fused her all-time signatures with new ideas. The statement culottes had those huge daisy shaped cuts while her classy dresses smartly flipped into a fancy party or a friend’s brunch at the same time. Also, the Woodstock-like dyed over-sized trousers had a moment. But again, the ruffles were really the stars of this collection – the Curcuma coloured top with ruffled sleeves was everything. Just like the pink top which surrealistically reminded an ethereal waterfall made of ruffles. Although all of that might sound very “couture-ish”, mostly all of the clothes designed by Rosie are wearable and, definitely, ready-to-wear. Even though they might be really arty (but then, why they shouldn’t have a creative soul?).

Belle Epoque. Van Noten SS14

Dries Van Noten again did what he’s best at- the Saint Germain chic in his SS14 collection. After hot checked shirts and Parisian boheme inspired feather dresses, it’s the time for Parisian Belle Epoque style. Dries really did a good job. Amazing ultra big ruffles, metallic elements and flower prints look simply fantastic. Beautiful dresses with middle length, chic jackets and street influenced sweatshirts were also here. So, definitely the colour for Van Noten that ruled was metallic gold. And the closing look with Sasha Luss that was all covered with ruffles still sits in my head!
