A Fashion Week Round-Up

As the fashion weeks have now come to an end (boo), I thought I would share with you my favourite show from each city. It was very difficult to choose just one so I have thrown in a few more here and there :-)  

New York

An unusual mix of nautical and fairytale-style garments completely wowed me at the Tommy Hilfiger show. There were delicate soft prints clashing with thick black stripes, leg o mutton style sleeves, peter pan collars and beautiful embroidery. The silhouettes were feminine with knee-length skirts skimming from the hip, wide-leg trousers, and hotpants were matched with cinched in crop tops. This collection evokes the ultimate feminine holiday style. 

London

Anya Hindmarch's collection was as fun, kooky and adorable as ever and as for the colour palette it fit seamlessly together. Oversized, cool and cosy would be the best way to describe the collection with beautiful construction, pixelated prints and surface decoration. I think there is definitely bonus points here for the wearability of many of the garments for day to day to wear :-) 

I must also mention that for me Burberry does it right every season and they are always one of my favourites. I was also mesmerised by Markus Lupfer's cool AW16 collection with bright prints placed onto dark black fabrics giving off serious attitude and Belstaff's fearless collection that would make the perfect street style.  

Milan

Dolce & Gabanna stole many girls hearts, re-visiting every little girls dream with a stunning show inspired by Cinderella. There were princess style dresses, flowers, intricate embroidery and every detail of the story of Cinderella was cleverly placed onto garments. And as for the finale it was an amazing glitter shower that also evoked the brands Italian heritage. This show was definitely the icing on the cake and I urge you to go and look through the photos from the show now! This look and this look are two of my favourites :-) 

You should also definitely check out Max Mara's bold statement collection. 

Paris 

I have always had a soft spot for Chloé's romantic bohemian style and they definitely did not disappoint. There were capes, frills (of course), drop-hem dresses, blouses and many of the looks were finished off with a neck tie. On the other hand there were interjections of masculine garments with oversized leather overalls, biker style jackets and trousers. The collection was composed of a range of whites, creams, tans, baby blues, lavenders, burgundys and appropriate darker shades for the season. It was a very fresh and varied collection :-) 

What was your favourite show or moment from autumn/winter 16?
