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:

I would discribe this collection as a whimsical 70’s steampunk badass chick. I liked how instead of pops of colors like most designers were doing, Alexandre Herchcovitch was true to the beauty of solid colors, it stayed true throughout the collection. The styling was unique with wispy hair and bangs. Overall this collection was a great step in a different direction.

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:
