Burberry is back at London Fashion Week for its Fall 2014 presentation today.
The British luxury label invites you to join them in their live streaming of Burberry Prorsum Autumn/Winter Womenswear show from London, happening 17 February at 10pm Malaysia time.
Parisian boutique colette has collaborated with Panasonic to offer its take on the Lumix GM1 camera. The partnership sees the micro four thirds shooter decked out with a luxe blue alligator-embossed leather wrap around the body.
Here's a look at the third capsule collection from the likes of DKNY and Opening Ceremony. The range includes everything from graphical tanks and T-shirts to hoodies and leggings. They will also be introducing a range of unisex accessories, including two pairs of platform sneakers, leather backpacks and headwear. Available over at the OC webstore, prices range from $50 to $235 USD.
It was BCBG Maz Azria's 25th anniversary show, but it wasn't retrospective, although designers Max and Lubov Azria did use the occasion to revisit many of the signatures they developed over the years.
Rebecca Minkoff kept things simple in comparison to her last season's complicated concept. This time around she works around a quintessential girl-meets-boy theme.
"It's about taking menswear-inspired silhouettes and translating them into feminine colors and silhouettes," Minkoff said backstage.
Mara Hoffman said before presenting her Fall collection that "it's the most black I've ever sent down the runway."
Her statement was surprising, seeing as the designer is loved for her vibrant, original prints. But Hoffman reassures with the gem: "The sky needs a black backdrop for the stars to shine."
For her Fall 2014 collection, Monique Lhuillier gave her designs a darker edge, describing it as "A bold, dramatic twist."
To achieve that, she incorporated the skull - however, Lhuillier's skulls are so subtle, one would have to be told they were there to spot them. Upon closer look, they can be seen in the embroidery of a gold lace bolero, as well as a lace-and-tulle mini. The skull design was more obvious on a digitally printed neoprene dress. The rendering wasn't great, but the silhouette was.
Christian Siriano's fall 2014 collection was an homage to the mid-century model. The silhouettes were culture-inspired and looked as if they were plucked out of Irving Penn's photos.
Siriano didn't reach far beyond his initial reference, but it was hard not to like the clothes. The result: he executed it better than in past seasons. "I still want her to looked dressed," he said of the oversize eyelet tops and tea-length skirts.
Prabal Gurung bids the 1950s goodbye by producing a more contemplative collection. His models were decked in scarves and pashmina wraps high around their necks, and ankle straps on their heels that jingled softly with tiny bells.
