Well guys, London Fashion Week came and went in a blur – as it always does. I confess, for LFW, my fingers and eyes tend to take a bit of a “snooze”. It’s an exercise of saving their energy for the dramatic inertia Milan brings us and the creme de la creme of Paris Fashion Week. And so, I do apologize that the extent of my LFW Spring/Summer 2016 runway coverage is a “best” post – but truly, at the very least, the 10 looks really are amazing!
LFW : The Worst Spring 2015 Looks of London Fashion Week
Oh lord. For a while, I thought better of making a Worst Looks of London Fashion Week post. I didn’t for New York Fashion Week and I remember my Fall 2014 collection kind of picked on someone at LFW *cough* Vivienne Westwood *cough*. In an effort to remain kind and neutral I was exercising a great level of restraint.
But then the Meadham Kirchhoff show happened and all niceness went out the window! Then again, maybe not. I mean, I really could have picked only looks from that collection as my worst – but then that would be mean, right? 😉 Obvs I am not mean. Obvs!
And so what we’re left with is a collection of looks from around London Fashion Week that are a bit, well: ODD!
LFW : Best Spring 2015 Looks of London Fashion Week
Happy Wednesday my fashionable dreamers. Today is the official kick of Milan Fashion Week, which is OHMYGOODNESS my favorite of all the fashion weeks. So, I am quite thrilled about that! Even more thrilling, is that there were some mind-blowing collections that hit the London Fashion Week runways. I know, I didn’t quite keep up with my coverage as well as I did for NYFW, but believe me when I say: the struggle was real!
But there will be no whining in this post! No. Only beautiful, mystical, colorful and brilliant Spring 2015 fashion, featuring some collections you may have guessed and some you may have not. Let’s get started! *drum roll*
LFW : Burberry Dumps the Trench for Spring 2015 Collection
Something a bit shocking happened at the Burberry Spring 2015 Collection shown at London Fashion Week, the trench took a backseat to the denim jacket. It’s that 90’s trend that just keeps on kicking, and apparently pairs well with everything, at least according to Burberry who had a wide color palette.
It was a collection of tulle and denim, with gorgeous water colors cascading down the runway. The already iconic custom Met Gala gown worn by Suki Waterhouse shines through as the blueprint to some really soft and whispy silhouettes. And of course, Waterhouse herself was the star of the show. (Sort of a bit of a shock to see no Cara DeLevingne in sight.)
LFW : 5 Best and 5 Worst Looks of Peter Pilotto Spring 2015
Today was a MASSIVE day at London Fashion Week, and in the interest of getting straight to the point – I thought I’d do something different for Peter Pilotto Spring 2015 RTW Collection. When it comes to heavy prints, sometimes to me it really works, and other times things are a bit off. It’s definitely a very precise art to nail a print, and Pilotto may be the biggest master of all time. That said, the runway did contain a few looks that were a bit ‘wonky’, shall I say? (Wonky!)
Where there was wonky though, there was also brilliant!
And so, I’ve whittled down the collection to a Top 5 Best and Top 5 Worst Looks of Peter Pilotto Spring 2015. Let’s get started – because there is Tom Ford to come. (Deep breaths!)
TOP 5 BEST LOOKS
I like to think if we ever make it to the year 4500, people will be walking around wearing Peter Pilotto designs. More specifically I envision the far left look to be the standard everyday look. Basically like, in loo of khakis and jeans people will be wearing metallic, psychedelic space suits. I love the blend of easy breezy with rather form-fitting and structured frocks. In true Pilotto fashion everything is loud, but also very controlled. I think that’s what makes his designs work or not work, the control factor. Is the look reigned in? If yes, we’ve got a winner!!
If it’s NOT reigned in, well, then you have this:
TOP 5 WORST LOOKS
Yea, these are a bit all over the place. I do find it absolutely hilarious that one beautiful model has to walk around wearing a neon menorah emblazoned on her chest. It’s nice to know in the land of raves and psychedelic activity, all faiths are recognized. Freedom of religion y’all!
In general, these all miss the mark because of how thrown together they are. Particularly the center look seems really off to me. At first I thought, oh, it’s just the length. If it was a bit shorter I would like it! But then I sat down my glass of Cabernet for a closer look, where I realized the skirt is may be the most hideous print I have ever seen. It looks like supremely depressing Christmas wrapping paper. And who wants that?
But major kudos to the sandals! I honestly have never much paid attention to the footwear of a Peter Pilotto show (obviously distracted by the loud prints happening), but now that I have I will make a point to. They are super fun! I actually think they would look great in the colder months paired with some super opaque black tights. Sandals for every season!
I’m off to chat more about other collections, but if you want to check out the full Peter Pilotto SS15 Collection, click here!
