    Rejoice one and all fashion season is firmly upon us and as always I’m super excited to see the plethora of collections stream across Twitter and Instagram feeds and even live on Youtube. First up we head to the Big Apple! Decamped and dispersed away from the usual Lincoln Center runways we’re so used to seeing, New York Fashion Week, really was an unpredictable joy ride across both Manhattan and Brooklyn. It was definitely tough to choose favourites from the New York collections but here are my top 5 from the week…

  • A New Era | Oscar De La Renta A/W 2015 Collection

    The first show after the passing of Oscar De La Renta was always going to be closely watched and the media buzz surrounding this particular collection felt very much like when Sarah Burton took over at McQueen back in 2001. De La Renta’s successor, Peter Copping, held the burden of carrying the label through this tough period and to deliver a collection within mere months before New York Fashion Week.

  • Everybody’s Got A Dark Side | Vera Wang Spring 2015

    Vera-Wang-Spring-2015

    Looking at just the header of this post you’d be mistaken for thinking this was an Autumn/Winter or Pre-Fall collection. Nope. It’s become quite a tradition for Vera Wang to use her main ready to wear label as an outlet for her own personal style, which in comparison to her wedding dress line, is dark, moody and tom-boyish.

    For me, as with most collections which catch my eye during fashion week season, the beauty is in the detail. This time it’s thick rope-like appliqué, suit tailoring with frills, and heavy fabric pleating, set off with thick leather belts.

    It’s not all monochrome black though. There are light notes to the collections but they’re in the form of metallic shades, gemstones and rainy spring florals. Think gothic English gardens or Wuthering  Heights-esque countryside.
