London Fashion Week : fashion talents or theatrical drama on the catwalk?

The London Fashion Week is finished.  There were  many different collections , many talented designers. It was the Fashion Week between theatrical drama and real world. There were the collections – for example  McQueen by Sarah Burton- which could be better to present on the Haute Couture Week ( it is only my opinion) . The most collections were beautiful, in every collection you can find the pieces which you want to have in your wardrobe. But, when we speak  about London it means we speak about world’s leading incubator of fashion talents that’s  why ,maybe , many of the shows felt like costume plays exercises.

Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2016-17 by Sarah Burton

Sarah Burton has shown the most beautiful, sensitive, and breathtaking crafted Alexander McQueen  collection in London. What she started in the pre-fall 2016 collection, is reappeared in fall 2016 collection, along with owls, swans, moons and stars, drifting on embroidered sophisticated textiles as tulle and organza. Anyway, this collection is on the level of haute couture. She described her woman as: “Almost sleepwalking, in a state where reality and dreams become blurred.” About the collection : It started with black coats, variously jacquarded with pocket watches, eyes, and butterflies, or sculpted from fine leather and then hand-painted with flowers by a specialist floral artist. Tailoring was always one of McQueen’s power bases, and the mannish  exactitude of the double-lapel suits honored that  in a modern, feminine way.There were lacy bras and sleeves cut to fall off shoulders. Then came the knit dresses, which cascaded in gossamer layers as delicate as lace. And finally, we were in the place of dreams. The bodices of black tulle dresses were set with jeweled stars, each one a masterpiece. Satin duvet jackets, and a final superb shell-pink eiderdown coat, lined with marabou- it was a triumph! The tenderness and the technical expertise she mustered for this collection was brilliant.Burton’s own vision for McQueen is fully realized and applauded to the skies. The more she has relaxed into the confidence of her feminine instincts, the better she’s become. It was fitting that the venue she chose was the same one in which she assisted Lee McQueen at a show 20 years ago.

 

 

The Best 10 Fall 2016 collection of NYFW

It was impossible to covered all shows which were shown during NYFW. Here are Top 10 collections of New York Fashion Week. I choosed this 10 designers collections because some of them  are simply beautiful and wearable or  because of „Wow“ effect which they have. Because of creativity, originality , because of perfecte tailoring or awesome emboriedery and sublime textile. Every collection is unique. Every single piece  in every collection is elaborated till details , many designers are creating the pieces which are kind of art and not simply clothes which we are going to wear in next season. Here are the runway Looks i  like. Hope you’ll like it too.

Fashion Flashback 2015 #2 – The Best of Haute Couture 2015

This time i want to re-view the haute couture 2015 collections. Haute Couture , the dream of most women but many womens has this bold pieces in their *wardrobe rooms*.
Every Haute Couture piece is an art, there is no doubt about it! But, not every piece of art is wearable , not every haute couture gown will make you look like a super star on the red carpet and not every haute couture dress would be the perfect look for some important event.  Of course the famous stars normally wear the pieces created for them by couturiers, this is clear , and , fo sure ,but  nobody wants to look like as an „lace iceberg“ in some   gown, or maybe i mistake?  Here are the  haute couture dresses from the  collections which were shown on the catwalks during Paris Haute Couture Weeks in 2015.
