Prada Spring 2014

_____

I'm in love with Prada's prints for this collection. The whole collection has some sort of nostalgic vibe: the motifs, the shades of color, and the silhouettes. I like the way Miuccia creates clothes that look relaxed but sophisticated at the same time, every garment catches the eye instantly. There were two pieces that I would love to have: this amazing red bag with yellow and black details, and this sweater (apocalyptic/deserted graphic).

Moncler Gamme Bleu Spring 2014

_____

I'm not a big fan of sports; however, every Moncler collection makes me wanna be involved in any sport just to have an excuse to wear those clothes. Regardless of practicing a sport or not, the pieces of the collection would look amazing even as separate pieces, considering that white is quite versatile. The blazers look as charming as every Thom Browne creation. And the presentation wouldn't have been complete without the perfect dramatic touch, the black lipstick. I can't wait for the Thom Browne spring collection! Full collection here.

Neil Barrett Spring 2014

_____

Barret's spring collection was all about halftone checkered patterns, clean lines and silhouettes and quite versatile pieces. I really liked the color palette and the transition between monochrome to stronger contrasts. I can't get enough of those halftone bomber jackets.

Alexander McQueen Spring 2014

_____

McQueen's collection has this eerie vibe, almost ghost-like; the color palette reminds me of old clothing, and a bit of bare bones. I can't stop thinking about x-rays and copy machines looking at the faded prints on some of the garments. Most of the pieces look quite elegant with the lacing and the perfect use of patterns and detail. Full collection here.

Christopher Kane Spring 2014

_____

Leaving behind the black & white horror nostalgia on the fall collection, Christopher Kane delivers a collection of edgier graphics with an electric color palette. There's an interesting take on the regular shirt, as they added a row of buttons coming down from under the collar all the way to the end of the sleeves. One of the things I like about this collection is that we get a sharp sartorial work, mixed with sportswear and casual clothing. You can watch the entire collection here.
