“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…

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.

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.

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:

VERSACE AUTUM/WINTER 2014| MILAN FASHION WEEK
With a late 70’s early 80’s rebel feel, the show begins with the famous silk baroque Versace print with a western cowboy twist. Deep jewel tones and dark neutrals filled the runway with endless amounts of various textures, with the most notable being a slick sheen, whether being in the full red leather cowboy outfit or the silk shirts and accessories. This very cheeky collection definitely had a huge nod to gay culture, including coded handkerchiefs, jeweled crotches, leather chaps and over embellishments. “It was an expression of freedom. I think it’s really important today with what’s going on in the world with civil rights and love.” – Donatella…
