Collection Highlights




Collection Breakdown

Colors:
There are a lot of neutrals in this collection and I see that as a recurring trend in the collections. Christian also used a lot of metallic fabrics. I love the color palette of the collection besides a few choice transition looks (posted below) I feel They took away from the collection rather then helped it flow.

Fabrics: A lot of clean and crisp fabrics along with metallic brocades. Collection included a lot of cotton and silk/satin as well as some chiffon.

Silhouette: Again I see another recurring trend and that would be the 1970's silhouettes. such as pant suits blazers and blouses. The dresses are more modern day tight to the body with a lot of draping detail.

Details- Thick and thin leather belts, Chic open toe pumps, Tan hand bags and aviators. As for jewelry there was a lot of turquoise...always a good way to spice up the neutrals!

Model Look: The hair was pulled back in a chic bun. The look was young vibrant and professional. The models seemed to be glowing and looked simply beautiful!



Collection Review
This collection was very pleasing to the eye despite a few looks that should have been cut from the lineup. Christian and his team need to use an editing eye and edit down...I feel if this collection contained maybe 7 less pieces it would be spot on. There was too many filler pieces that don't transition well and could be removed to better the show. Overall I thought it was young and refreshing. The pieces where very tailored and made well. Since project runway Christian Siriano has really made a great name for himself! I am impressed by this collection it has its quirks but it really was a nice collection and I enjoyed watching it!


Pieces I dislike
This is just not flattering and the color was horrid!
Again with that ugly leather and paired with that blue top...it is just bad.
This to me just looks cheap...the pants look like cheap satin and the top with those pants does not work...I also am not crazy about the top print and the random unflattering ruffle.

Designer Spotlight- Mau





Post Industrial Folk Wear by Mau

Post industrial folk wear was started in 2006 to address and solve problems of utility and relevance in contemporary street wear. The garments are essentially built with the harsh dynamics found within industry in mind: with much detail emerging from construction decisions. The material is featherweight tyvek(R): a high performance non-woven taken from construction, graphics, and paper trades to be adapted and manipulated for personal use. Although this material appears to be fragile and perishable, it is in fact a water, tear, and wind resistant fabric. The garments are partially recycled and 100% recyclable, meaning, a fabric that also does mother earth a favor.

Thomas Sabo Red Rebel At Heart

I remember a few years ago when I just started as a fashion student. I was just learning so much in and out of the classroom! I had been taking in so much inspiration and really loving the excitement I would get when I would see something just amazing in a magazine.


I had been flipping through an issue of Vogue and that's when I saw this! To this day it has been a piece that has remained on my mind. I never forgot this piece and I have always wished I could have it...It is nothing extremely inventive or out there but it is a piece I have always loved and stumbling upon it now brings back great memories! Now I might actually have to buy it...it is still quite expensive...I have always been a bit of a rebel
