Organized
by the British Fashion Council (BCF); and one of the four ‘most influential
catwalks’ in the fashion industry; LONDON FASHION WEEK has again impacted and
satisfied the hearts of all the local & international experts, media and
fashionistas.
It is
impossible for us, fashion lovers, not to go crazy about the BRITISH FASHION principally
for its avant-garde, eccentric & edgy charm. Who knows if it is the gloomy,
unpredictable or ‘gothic’ London weather that keeps inspiring fashion geniuses;
but for sure, when LFW arrives intense excitement flows in the air no matter
how the climate or day opens up.
So, what
were some of the major TRENDS the well-established & beloved British
designers and maisons proposed for the next SPRING/SUMMER 2014?
1.METALLICS:
There were abundant shimmering pieces raising everyone’s spirit… Shinning
fabrics, crystals and sequins embellished fantastic clothes to be used night or
day… Very edgy! (Images: Tom Ford & Simone Rocha)
2.BOMBER
JACKETS: One of my favorite MUST-HAVES! In neutral or bright colors, in brocade
or simple fabrics… The BOMBER JACKET is such a killer when it comes to reassure
our super strong lady personality and taste! (Images: Antonio Berardi & Peter Pilotto)
3.FLORAL
PRINTS: There was nothing girlish about the FLORAL DETAILING or PRINTS our superb British
designers proposed for their next collections. On the contrary, these BLOSSOMS
talked about pure modern, fierce, feminine aura… You just got to love them! (Images: Mulberry)
4.PASTELS:
We saw them everywhere in the NY Mercedes Benz Fashion Week; and expect PASTELS
to stay strong in the most refreshed and updated ways. I am
telling you ladies, go for PASTELS without hesitation. (Image: Burberry Prorsum)
5.SHEER:
Once again, this is another trend I assured you is coming trés-solid for the next
SPRING/SUMMER 2014… It will be just about placing those SHEER spaces in the
right places of our beautiful bodies; and our best, sexy but glam persona will
be an instant jaw-dropper. (Images: Erdem & Simone Rocha)
6.COLOR
EXPLOSION: There is something about COLORS that makes us feel happy… And with all
the options we will have, as seen on these catwalks; we will be able to manage
COLORS in very glamorous and edgy manners… Oh, and apparently CANARY-YELLOW
is a can’t-live-without hue now… Love it! (Images: Mathew Williamsom & Temperly London)
7.STRUCTURE:
I adore structured pieces, they usually posses a special, modern and
demi-couture magic… Abundant, marvelous and risky in times, STRUCTURED &
OVERSIZED silhouettes delighted the very open-minded public that the British
fashion industry is so used to. (Images: Peter Pilotto)
8.BERMUDA
SHORTS: Saving my personal favorite for last… BERMUDA SHORTS highlighted the
fresh but sharp mood of the LONDON atmosphere. From day to nighttime, BERMUDA
SHORTS are my #1 springy must-have! (Images: Mulberry & Jonathan Saunders)
Still to delight
us...? MILAN & PARIS FASHION WEEK… OMG! Wohoooo!
LIFE IS A
RUNWAY!
