“For Fall 2014, Zac Posen combines the art of old-world dressmaking with the precision of tailoring to create a collection that celebrates a woman’s natural form and gives her access to her most alluring and empowered self. “I imagined a collection as photographed by Cecil Beaton in my New York atelier. I had a notion to bring the richness and emotion of beautifully-made pieces into the here and now. It is no secret that I have always been a devoted student of fashion history and the great couturiers. With this collection, in particular, I focused intently on how and where the clothes used to be made, and I let myself…

DKNY A/W 2014
“DKNY exhibited their 2013-2014 Fall Winter Womens Runway Collection during New York Fashion Week. On the catwalk ensembles, Donna Karan focused on oversized outerwear coats, parkas, anoraks and bomber jackets.

THOM BROWNE AW14
Like walking into a 50’s funeral scene from the original Twilight Zone. The theme had strong catholic inspirations from the crosses, veils and priest boys? The clothing itself had volume and flairs of luxurious mourning. The models walked slow with somber with their neutral pallet with the occasional shimmering gold gown. The style wrapped the whole collection up and made it a clear story, fright white hair vintage styled with pillbox hats and veils. Overall beautiful collection. Many classic and luxurious separates. It all leaves you haunted. source:

Alexander McQueen | Spring/Summer 2014 | Backstage Film
“Faded fabrics that feel they have been left out in the sun and tarnished gold buttons. Hems, lapels and sleeves are unfinished and frayed. The internal structure of suiting is removed to give lightness. The sleeves of a frock coat have been ripped away with seams and shoulder padding left exposed. The silk lining of the suit jacket is introduced as a button-down robe or cardigan, layered over collarless bib shirts and exposed from the sleeves and hem of suit jackets. Worn with pleated loose, long shorts or trousers cropped above the ankle. The iconic McQueen skull motif is reworked into a cotton lace. The lace is adapted as a…

A very wearable and professional collection. Simplicity with clean lines, black and white template and details of golden chain.

Christian Siriano FALL 2014 READY-TO-WEAR
Christian Siriano Fall 2014 Ready to Wear arrives with a clarity that feels intentional rather than restrained. Presented almost entirely in black and white, the collection leans into limitation as a creative advantage. By removing color from the equation, Siriano redirects the eye toward silhouette, texture, and construction, the areas where his technical confidence has always been most fluent.

Monique Lhullier AW14
As the show unfolds, Lhuillier gradually widens the emotional and visual range. Color deepens, embellishment intensifies, and texture becomes more assertive. What begins as quiet elegance evolves into something far more expressive. Sleek gowns emerge, densely embroidered and meticulously constructed, catching the light in a way that feels deliberate rather than decorative for decoration’s sake. These are pieces designed to command attention without asking for it.

Richard Chai Love AW14
Richard Chai Love Autumn Winter 2014 presents itself with a quiet confidence that resists easy categorization. From the opening look, the collection feels introspective, less concerned with spectacle and more invested in mood, proportion, and nuance. This is fashion that asks to be observed closely rather than consumed quickly.

Helmut Lang AW14
Helmut Lang Autumn Winter 2014 arrives with an ease that feels almost confrontational in its refusal to perform. Comfort is not positioned as an afterthought or a compromise here. It is the point. The collection embraces a deliberate lack of traditional polish, starting with the noticeable absence of heels. Footwear stays grounded, signaling early on that this season is less about elevation and more about attitude.

Lacoste AW14
Lacoste Autumn Winter 2014 finds the brand in a more reflective mood, one that still honors its athletic roots while leaning decisively toward fashion. Sport remains the foundation, but it is refined, edited, and contextualized within a broader narrative. This season, Lacoste steps away from overt playfulness and into something more composed.

Alexander Wang AW14
Alexander Wang Autumn Winter 2014 lands with a kind of deliberate toughness that feels both instinctive and engineered. This is a collection rooted in power, but not the polished, corporate kind. Instead, Wang delivers a version of strength that is utilitarian, urban, and unapologetically physical. The clothes feel built for movement, protection, and presence.
