PRADA Spring/Summer 2014 | Artists & Miuccia become Art Couture | MFW

The art inspiration which makes Miuccia a genius

When I saw the collection for the first time, I was a bit perplexed, but somehow, seeing it over and over again made me want it, especially the coats and the crystal encrusted sport dresses.

The venue was adorned by street artists hired by Miuccia just for the show to paint murals on the walls. She then mixed high fashion with components from the street, sport, art and couture.

Her woman is a gangster, a leader, a woman which rules the world and with Britney Spears in the background, to the tune of "work bitch!", simply added all the elements together. 

Picasso like extracts from a painting printed on the garments with a 3D effect, encrusted bras worn on top of the dresses and even bras sewn as part of a dress with a lot of colour blocking to complement it. Sport midi length silk dresses, had crystals encrusted on them, long fur coats which were as rare as a painting, tube socks, sport collars, feathers and lady like bags.

Miuccia is pure genius, she is not only pushing Prada towards heaven, but she is making Prada become God. She is  creating collectables, which one must have, wear and then give to their children. No wonder Anna Wintour wears Prada over and over again. I'm already imaging the next vintage hunter like Hamish Bowles finding one of these rare Prada pieces from this collection at a vintage store in Paris.

A different collection, like none other, a break up from he usual monotonous simple classic collections to a hued artistry collection for a woman ready to concur the world. 

 

 

 

 

 

 
From what I learned, Prada is the devil and the ruler and Miuccia confirmed this!

TOM FORD | Spring/Summer 2014 Collection | Bringing Sexy Back | LFW

The master of sexiness and the suit, has come back to London Fashion Week

The man, my only man, hit London with sexiness, he brought sexy back. 

The first looks where all in a caramel brown crocodile leather, and the man who does not shy away from using the most expensive and rare animal materials, did just that.

Fresh from opening his flagship store on Sloane Street in London, he came up with a collection which shouted seduction. He knows what he wants and what his woman wants and this hit right through the audience.

On a mirrored runway, the models strutted down the runway, oozing confidence baring those long legs. Leather, fur, short dresses, suits, white, brown, mirrors, lace, knee high boots, you had it all. 

Two beautiful biker jackets one in brown crocodile and one in white leather styled impeccably with short skirs. The new hobo bag, which will make a woman swoon over it and show stopping, dresses, perfect for the right evening ready for a kill. Two of these dresses looked like ballerina shoes, ribbons strapped around the body and another one was a close fitted, zebra, black and white mini dress, vamp!

After the parties and dinners, a change of mood, his career woman emerged, a powerful woman in a suit. He showed different versions, an eighties vibe, and all styled differently. One struck me the most, a simple black with a belt around the blazer. Mirrored dresses, with thigh high boots, a lovely white suit with a fur coat just like an angel, and evening gowns with lace minutiae technicalities, which invite into his woman's world.  

I adore him, his professionalism, his deep understanding of woman and the abyssal attention to detail.

J'Adore!

Mary Katranzou Spring/Summer 2014 | From Darkness to Light | LFW

The Digital Queen of Fashion | Mary oh Mary noone does digital like you do 

Something different was shown since fashion week started, not just London but also New York and it had to be Mary Katranzou to bring us something distinct and incomparable. 

The collection started out in darkness just like last season, and she had everyone stop and think that Mary Katranzou's bright days were gone, but that was only the beginning till beautiful bright coloured outfits emerged.  

Grey, black and brown voluminous shaped dresses. A lovely fusion of chocolate, blue, dark red with darker black hues. Digital printed shoes, lace ups, and buckles on the dresses, but one would notice immediately what they were.  The print was double the size, embroided on silk, so engaging and genial. 

Then an explosion of colours, bright neon prints, similar to a Japanese cartoon, very abstract.  Cocktail floral mini dress, ruffles, and biker sleeveless jackets, it was a mix of everything, but, she indeed surprised us. 

Mini shift dresses and skirts, beautiful coats with volumes, beautiful digitally printed shoes by Gianvitto Rossi, in florals, very edgy and young. 

Fashionistas will be flocking to order and buyers alike.

It was Mary all the way, and whilst some say its always the print, and the dark shades that she has recently adopted are not truly her, she offers something unique, unblemished, something so different noone can even dare to copy her or even come close.
