Thom Browne S/S 2013

Thom Browne S/S 2013

Theatrical runways are usually the ones that get most of my attention, but this time, it wasn't just exclusively about the performance but for the clothes as well. The 60's psychedelic vibe and the ballerinas added a quite surreal touch to the concept.

Thom Browne's vision is just fascinating and daring, his use of color and patterns is so entertaining to analyze; but really enjoyable at the same time.

Christopher Kane S/S 2013

Christopher Kane S/S 2013

Loved the prints on this collection. The details of the brush strokes look amazing on the clothes (one of my favorite pieces was the white stroke one as you can see). The contrast of the red detail on the boots gives a nice touch to the outfits.

Burberry Prorsum F/W 2012

Burberry Prorsum F/W 2012

One of the my favorite collections of this season, for 3 simple reasons: impeccable tailoring, perfect trench coats and the details (just take a look at the animal headed crook handles). 

Samurai Kissing

Mugler Resort 2013

 'Samurai Kissing'

First time I saw this print was at Mugler's Resort 2013 (for women), then on Nicola after the S/S 2013 Womenswear show. The Resort collection is really outstanding, I loved the colour scheme and the way the geometric shapes enhance the models silhouettes. My references for this illustration were the Samurai Kissing print and a little bit of Japanese folk (hence the mask and the ghostly fireballs).

Vivienne Westwood S/S 2013

Vivienne Westwood S/S 2013

I love Westwood's collections because her style and her vision is clearly imprinted in every garment. Some of the menswear collection highlights were the over-sized shirts, the amazing tailoring, and the floral headpieces. the concept of the whole british pic-nic is amusing. On the other hand there's the Red Label outfit; florals were also present on the Spring collection, as well as floral headpieces, and a very strong british nationality vibe. One of the things I like the most about Westwood is that sense of creative freedom and the way she conceptualizes each collection.

The antithesis of the white feather McQueen outfit.

There's something I love about this particular outfit; I'm not sure it's wether the pose it demands from the model (like that sort of embrace) or if it's the concept as a whole.. Whenever I think a bout McQueen, I think about the black and the white feather outfits from this collection.
