Female. JW Anderson SS14

September 14, 2013September 14, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

London Fashion Week have just started… and it’s first hot collection is over here! The J.W. Anderson for SS14 is like a round-up and something more of his all collections. This young, ultra talented designers who claims that fashion will never be art for him, is going to be invested by… yes LVMH, as rumours say. Will we soon see a first J.W. Anderson store in London? Hopefully. This collection is definitely one of the strongest collection of Jonathan- I loved all these textures that looked like origmi and these transparent tops with black elements look marvelous… maybe it is not to pracitical since boobs will be seen and a bra would surely spoil it, but the world of J.W. is always shocking. Anderson is famous for his menswear collection full od skirts and dresses, and is mostly known for his gender mix aesthetics… However this collection is very feminine. And I like it!

Milestone. Calvin Klein SS14

September 13, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Yuppy! Francisco Costa celebrates the tenth anniversary at helm of Calvin Klein! It is a milestone, so no wonder his guests (Rooney Mara!), new venue and the after-party reflected with huge echo during the NYC Fashion Week! As you could observe on my blog, I have never been a huge fan of Calvin Klein, but this season Francisco impressed me with this season. The light dresses with these cool elements that flow in the air while moving are just perfect for dancing and these wide trousers… oh, so cool! The mixture of colours was also very interesting- white, mint green and pastel pink. What should I say more- LOVE IT!

Mars Attack. Jeremy Scott SS14

September 12, 2013September 12, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Definitely, this is the season of light colours, virgin dresses and flowless skirt. But as always, the enfant terrible of fashion break the rules. And it is all about Mr. Jeremy Scott. Well, I expected the collection will be really up to the Jeremy world, full of prints, sexiness and colours. But… I also expected that Scott will shock a bit. But he didn’t. The collection “Teenagers from Mars” sounds crazy and I felt like it will be a really god collection. However it was very classical converting to Jeremy’s style- in other words, the colour and the print in the key. And the funny quotes that appear already like fifth time in his collections and start to be predictable. Bikini’s, mini skirts and cropped tops exposed most parts of body, so Jeremy Scott definitely invites his models to wear this summer than normal women. Fashion from perspective of Scott meant to be fun, but it starts to be SO MONOTONE. Only the guest list is changing- this time we saw Nicki Minaj in the front row. Yay?

Boring. Reed Krakoff SS14

September 12, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

The SS14 at Reed was… hmm, like every Reed Krakoff collection for Summer. And that means- boring. It felt too classical with all these boudoir dresses in white colours and the mix of beige and lime… well it look cool in Zara, but not on the runway in at the end of the New york Fashion Week! Common, Reed, fashion has to be a bit more fun… I respect your aestethics, but why don’t you do something a bit more shocking than three looks with this neon coour from last season? Should that be the New York classical chic? Oh, no. Then I prefer a Michael Kors bomb than this collection that would be better for Resort….

LA Strip Girl Gang. Rodarte SS14

September 11, 2013August 28, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

The Rodarte show not only brought LA coolness to New York Fashion Week, but also showed that Laura and Kate Mulleavy are not only good in designing red carpet gowns! Whole collection was inspired with 80’s in Los Angeles, were the strip clubs and nightlife was dominant with lots pf neon lights, pool parties and hangovers. The SS14 by Rodarte is very sexy- skimpy skirts; lots of bikinis with ruffles; tiger prints. But also the clothes had something more to say than their sexiness- these cool trousers and biker jackets are for strong women that are not scared of showing off their splendours and… more things. Summarising, the collection is cool and really breaking the limits of Rodarte sisters that always make NYFW… Of course COOLER.
