LFW - Sass & Bide

SASS AND BIDE
Held at the royal horticultural hall, I entered the large white room with a glass dome ceiling letting all natural light in. Sat on the frow was the likes of Dionne Bromfield and Poppy Delevigne, very stylish load.  A lot of suspense was created using music to prolong the hustle and bustle backstage but as soon as the beat dropped a fierce looking model stepped out in an off white dress with origami folds to contour her shape. Flawless and sleek I didn’t expect any less from Sass & Bide. Their collection featured lots of bold metal neckpieces as well as flowers, lots of their signature neon bursts.



Love shady was the title of their collection, and it translated as a relationship between the masculine and the feminine which was seen through tailored silk suits contrasted against highly embellished short party dresses and pale cream ostrich feather skirts. Full of sensual soft silhouettes but opposed by romantic precision, the flash of orange complimented the whites and creams superbly.
Cara Delevigne strutted the catwalk looking impeccable in perfect party wear. Metal origami belts in silver adorned at the waist of frocks, especially highlight on the full length mirror dress with sheer black sides, a phenomenal piece that shone on the runway. Featured metal capped shoulders were seen on tuxedos layered like feathers, which was a beautiful take on the new jacket. There was a definite ethereal atmosphere as silks and sparkles cascaded down the white floor. Armour decorated the bodies of models in a delicate yet well sharp way which balanced out the masculine and the feminine.

Stella McCartney Vs Zara

Monochrome is always at the height of trends each summer and it's not going away this year. Zara have managed to interpret Stella McCartneys dress pretty well into a chic everyday dress.

Poser #6 - PFW

So I won't lie since PFW I have been bloody lazy with blogging but I'm slowly getting back to the swing of things. Jemima loves hipstomatic and took a shit load of pics of me posing to the max. These aren't even that posey...they get a lot worse...maybe i'll share them with you guys, could be embarassing.

Poser #5 LFW Day 2

After a dissapointing show I wasn't in the happiest of moods and my friend (ginger joe) insisted on taking a picture of me on a gridded floor. So I had to tip toe carefully so my heels didn't slip between the gaps. Not looking great but the lipstick adds a nice pop.

NYFW - Rodarte

I'm barely ever disappointed by Rodarte and this season I fell in love with them all over again. This S/S the collection was inspired by "Dungeons and Dragons" which translated through armour like embellishment and heavy metal belts. From patent leathers and chain mail, the designer duo made what seemed like a Gothic cauldron of a concept into the most beautiful ethereal and wearable concept ever.




Technique were shown off in every look, from a woven jumper match with a cubic print skirt, who would have thought those two would have worked so well? So many elements in this collection shouldn't have worked but it did. Sky blue with burnt orange silk, lime punch with patent leather, but it worked ad I loved it.

Silhouettes mixed between feminine and masculine, harsh lines versus fluidity. It was a real fantasy come true which appeals to every girl I can imagine, from provcative lace to androgynous leather. Oh and don't forget the shoes, forever flawless!

NYFW - Alexander Wang

I obviously wasn't at NYFW but fingers crossed there's a chance I can go next year (once I turn 21 so I can benefit from all the parties), so I perved all over style.com for the latest shows. Every season I look for Alexander Wang first, I love his designs. He always manages to bring a new edge and take on minimalist chic, keeping the palette cool and understated. New twists and innovations constantly form but his designs are kept on a wearable level. That's what I love about Wang, he doesn't make anything to over the top but each piece always makes a statement.

Lots of leather and boxy looks were held at his show. Shirt dresses seem to be popular for next season and Wang got on board  by mixing materials. Layering of the shirt was seen in a very clean linear way, creating angles which perfectly compliment the slim physique. Admittedly not going to look great on the curvaceous.

The colour scheme consisted mainly of black and white but hints of taupe and shades of grey dropped into jumpers and jackets. Leather definitely made a statement, most pieces consisted of this in various shades.

"I want to pull garments apart" and that's exactly what he did using invisible fish line embroidery to hold pieces together, this created a floating effect to the garments. It worked like magic, incredible. There's a sporty futuristic yet elegant feel to this collection. It embodies the modern day cool girl, he definitely hasn't failed me.
