It's the greatest time of the year...no not Christmas...Fashion week has descended upon us. This week saw fashion's elite flock to the holy grail that is New York to see the latest S/S 14 collections from the likes of Prabal Gurung, Alexander Wang, Victoria Beckham, Jason Wu, Rebecca Minkoff, Helmut Lang...to name a few of our firm favourites.
Our god Alexander Wang proved that he is quite clearly the King of multi-tasking, having recently taken over the creative reigns of Balenciaga, we waited with baited breath to see whether he would still be able to stun us with his own brand, and stun us he did. Wang's women in my opinion were sporty, sexy and free, baring their midriffs in cut-out trenches and jackets and showing some leg in coquettish mini-skirts. Laser-cut leather coats and dresses along with his well loved clean and crisp, androgynous shirts and asymmetric tops teamed with cropped pants proved to be winning looks. Also, Wang showed that tongue-in-cheek t-shirts are still going to be a staple in our wardrobes for next season, British darling Georgia-May Jagger graced the runway in a 'Parental Advisory' tee.
Key colours nod towards the return of pastels with an almost ethereal feel, take Prabal Gurung, Jason Wu and Peter Som for inspiration.
Our English gem, Victoria Beckham has impressed once again with her latest collection earlier on this morning. Displaying her girl as a fresh, clean-cut beauty with a huge emphasis on monochrome and sporadic splashes of colour with playful dresses, cut-out sandals and cropped trousers. And with her cherubic tot Harper, husband David and quite literal Queen of fashion Anna Wintour on her front row, it was hard for her show not to be a sensation.
Another of our beloved designers who definitely did not let us down was Jason Wu, opening his show with flame-headed siren Karen Elson, Wu's girls wowed in provocative sheer dresses, skirts and shirts, structured yet sexy tailoring and some simple yet shimmering evening wear. His colour palette was largely made up of grey, black, white and nude/taupe.
Prabal Gurung also focused heavily on the key emerging cut-out and sheer trend, showcasing his models with a slightly more furturistic look in edgy dresses, coats and silk bombers to name a few, in sugary sweet mint greens, lilacs and candy-floss pinks with some statement retro sunglasses.
