Oscar De La Renta AW13 - 14

For an autumn winter collection there are many vibrant colours! Oscar De La Renta's collection had the amazing gowns as it normally does but with a mix of colour, fur and velvet. This collection had so much texture. 

I love the dresses in this collection (who couldn't!). The neck lines are very similar, simple but flattering. The sheer top inset to the first outfit gives detail to a simple silhouette. I love velvet in any season or collection! I love the white detail in the second and third dresses, goes perfectly with the monochrome trend! The fourth and fifth dresses are sheer with black detailing, the details cover nothing but it looks really great. I love how the fifth dress has no pattern on the shoulders. Its a busy dress so a plain section works really well. 

The vibrant teal goes great with the black accessories. The third outfit has such a mix of colours but goes well; teal, green top and gold jacket with fur trim! I love the jacket to the fourth outfit with the gold detailing.

These four outfits just sum up what I have been seeing in all the AW13 - 14 collections. Vibrant colours, gold tones and fur!

Wes Gordon AW 2013 - 14

For the past few days I have been going through the New York fashion week pictures and this is the first collection I have liked enough to post about. The colours throughout this collection have caught my eye. At first it was the yellow that I loved, as I went though the collection I saw these vibrant golds. The colours in the collection are all over the place; yellow and two shades of gold along with red, purple and blue! If this collection was slightly refined it would be almost perfect. The garments in the collection are also very different, some designers use one garment multiple times to connect the overall collection, or replicate a similar feature. I do like this collection however I dislike aspects. 

Two different shades of gold here, both shades are really nice colours, one being more vibrant the other being quite dull. Here the designer has connected the garments by using the same accessories; shoes and the fur collar (which I have been seeing a lot of throughout the AW13-14 collections).

Vibrant gold! I love the gold in this collection and how it is used. The first dress has a lot of volume and this gold material has helped create that. Only the side of the dress is gold, this works really well with the bold shape of the dress. The third and fourth outfits both contain gold garments, they look as if they are fringed and give a lot of texture. All the different sections reflect the light differently. I love the purple velvet shoes with the fourth outfit. Has to be my favourite in the collection.

The purple velvet shoes again, they're a really good contrast from the yellow. There is leather and feathers in this collection I didn't really notice it at first only once I had gone thought the collection a few times. Overall I really like this collection with the vibrant colours, just wish it was slightly more refined. 

Busy Busy Busy!

Currently I am so busy! London Fashion week is right around the corner so you can imagine all designers and fashion houses are super busy. I have recently started an internship for a Designer, this is towards my degree as a credited module. I am also doing three other modules at university. I am unbelievably swamped with work, trying to keep everything to a good standard. I am so excited for fashion week. All I will be doing is going through the shows pictures and seeing what the designers are doing for AW13-14. Fashion is so complicated! Im currently designing a range for one of my modules and the season is SS14; all I'm going to be surrounded by is AW13-14!

I have been way too busy to post but hopefully I can get back to blogging and sharing what I have been up to!
