Monique Lhullier AW14
Starting out with subtle black dresses with subtle details in plumb and lavender. You think this collection will be very monotones until further in the show. Beautifully surprised by heavily embroidered sleek gowns that dazzle the room. The collection was very romantic, variety driven and detailed.

Helmut Lang AW14
Comfortable yet dramatically stylish. This collection featured a cheeky lack of heels and oversized sweaters, dresses, and skirts. It had a feel of the rebellious early 2000’s and late 90’s. Texture was definatly the main topic, saturated texture paired with muted colors and simple siluttes makes the texture game do anything it wants. source:

Lacoste AW14
More fashion but still very sports inspired. It’s said this collection was based on René Lacoste’s 1920s golf course, Chantaco. The colors were more muted than their usually bright Lacoste standard, we saw a lot more of neutrals with hints of deep browns and burgundies giving it a more theatrical and less playful feel. source:

COMME DES GARÇONS HOMME PLUS AW14
A very dark feel to this show, the haunting music followed by the distinctively slow pace of the models set the stage for a dramatic display. It seems the models were each wearing glossy gas masks hiding their identity, but upon further inspection you notice it is black hair pulled over their faces twisted down to a swirling black rope. Things that stood out most would be the strategically placed holes on the black formal wear that flowed through the whole show. The fits where loose and flowing as they glided across the room. source:
