“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. The main design element seen was multi-paneled fabrics and textures with color blocking effects. Denim and jeanswear were a few as evidenced in an oversized crop top denim jacket and slim pants. Colors used were ivory, khaki, camel brown, tomato red and cobalt blue. Animal prints were also spread out with leopard and cheetah patterns mostly in sweater pullover jumpers, skirts and jackets. Quilted panels also mixed well with black fabrics on outerwear. From the presentation, we selected the top…

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:

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.

Julien Fournie Haute couture S/S 2014
Julien Fournié Haute Couture Spring Summer 2014 Julien Fournié’s Spring Summer 2014 haute couture collection unfolded like a controlled reverie. From the first look, the atmosphere was unmistakably ethereal, yet grounded in craftsmanship rather than excess fantasy. The runway moved at a deliberate pace, allowing each piece to be absorbed slowly, almost ceremonially. The models carried themselves with a softened presence, their expressions calm and doll-like without tipping into artificiality. This stillness became part of the presentation. It reinforced the collection’s romantic tone, encouraging viewers to focus on detail rather than motion. Nothing felt rushed. The pacing mirrored the care embedded in the garments themselves. Color played a central role…

Chanel Haute Couture SS 2014
When you think of classic and high fashion, Chanel always comes to mind. This season displayed once again their staple tweed fabrics with very beautifully structured feminine outfits in light varieties of pastels. There was a strong athletic feel to the whole collection due to glammed up silver knee pads and fanny packs. I would describe the whole thing as rich sports pixie?But the one thing that demanded most attention would have to be the footwear the models were rocking. They weren’t the usual high fashion impossible heels to walk in, they were actually the complete opposite. Sneakers! The sporty/glitzy shoe wear was provided by couture shoemaker Massaro they were…

KOLOR AW14 Shot by Jacques Habbah
Kolor’s Autumn Winter 2014 collection occupies an uneasy but compelling space between comfort and disarray. On the surface, the clothes feel warm, layered, and familiar. Look closer, and a deliberate tension begins to emerge. This is not ease for ease’s sake. It is controlled imbalance, styled to appear almost accidental.
