There has been times in my life where I fall in love with a pair of shoes, a new song, a food, a beautiful garment... but never in my life have I before experienced the love I have for Fall/Winter 2015 Fashion Week line up. Every day new collections are being released and every day I fall more and more in love with the winter season and the collections, designers, clothes.... (sigh). Sice 70's revamped for 2015 is confirmed, we can now decipher that the focal point of designers works' for fall/winter this year is re-creating the old with a new twist ; keeping it modern and different by using past trends. I don't know about you but i'm all about reminiscence and what better way to plummage into the world of the past (to 70's kids this period of time is called "my teenage years") by witnessing beauty reinvented as a new art form on the runway.
Without further ado, here we have some of the newest line up collections for Fall/Winter fashion week 2015.

Dion Lee's Fall/Winter line up has got to be one of my favourite line ups released throughout this months' fashion week. Can we please talk about the attractiveness of muted greys, dark nudes and oversized daggy sweaters? Dion Lee has perfectly captured the effortless beauty, throw-on&-go attitude upcoming for this winter, combining simplified colours and fabrics with equally simple-coloured statement pieces that become so captivating due to the cut and style. I have never before been so drawn to a simple oversized turtle neck sweater before, but it looks so damn good and perfects the look instantly. Dion Lee managed to complete his collection by adding structure with collars, leather and shape play and adding just a tad of colour pop tied the knot on the line up. I am also loving the bare face look that seems to be the go-to makeup for designers nowadays; it allows for natural beauty to shine and focuses on enhancing beauty and making the clothes themselves the focal point of the show instead of hiding 'flaws' of models and using make-up as a collaborator with the clothes. The clothes are the stars of the show and the models don't need any make-up to look gorgeous, bone structures still stand high and the show goes on as perfect as ever. Bare beauty is in and it goes perfect with Dion Lee's line up.

Every time Fashion Week is coming up, only one thing is on my mind; Alexander Wang. Alexander Wang never fails to impress and certainly never dissapoints, he manages to captivate and awe an audience by utilising simplicity and structure to his advantage and incooporates classic cuts with an Alex Wang twist that instantly transform a normal every day shirt into an artistic masterpiece. For Fall/Winter 2015, model slash zombie apocalypse survivors slash grudge girls strutted out on the runway, hair wet and stuck to their foreheads, looking pale as ghosts and ready to kill anyone who got in their way. The main pieces include a play of different materials in the same colour to create a subtle contrast and yet still keep things monochromatic. Black leather on black satin, Suede, Polyester and hints of opaque unidentifiable (to me..) material made it's way through the line up, appearing here and there through the magic of layering. Including a hint of Alex Wang Denim and oversized sweater opted for a simplistic and wearable Alex Wang look whilst red tartan print jackets allowed for a hint of colour in an otherwise monochromatic, gothic and dark collection. Fur shoulders (70's revamped !!!) wrapped up the show, and the shoes reminded me of Insane Asylum/Prison shoes to keep you from walking around too much. Kudos to the models if they were hard to pick up off the ground& even Kendall Jenner looked like she fit into the aura of the holy grail that is the Alexander Wang runway show.

I never familiarised myself with Tibi until one of my instagram followers uploaded a compilation of her favourite looks from the FW2015 Tibi collection, and I instantly knew I had to know more about this brand. After researching a tad about the brand and getting to know a bit more about the style and cuts that is time and time repeated within the line, I fell in love. Tibi is an emerging fashion label focused on bringing relaxed, feminine and clean clothing and footwear; and that is exactly what this collection line up for Fall/Winter 2015 delivers. Tibi delivers minimalism with an edge by creating pieces with basic colours and relaxed, flowy style and pairing them with structured complimentary garments which work to complete the look perfectly. This winter's style is definitely more on the relaxed and loose fitting side and allowing for some diversity in terms of choice of attire is Tibi's forte. I am in looveee with that soft violet turtleneck culotte combo.

Fur, Leather, Fur + Leather.. more fur.. more leather.. * googly eyes* can we please take a moment out of the day to congratulate the amazing work that went into creating this upcoming Fall/Winter 2015 season of Coach? Weeks and weeks gone into sewing, stitching, preparing, adjusting, perfecting the diverse range of fabric combinations and style play from gravity defying, neck warming and ear touching collars to tailored crisp biker jackets reinvented with a high-end touch to combine effortlessly into the expensive and couture feel of the whole line up. Coats and jackets seem to be the forefront of Coaches' line and I'm loving the various styles and colours of both fur, suede and leather jackets; all shown being worn in different ways to allow for flexibility in the wardrobe (so you know, you can wear it more than once and not leave it collecting dusk in your closet for the next 5 or so years). Gum boot style shoes with fur inner enclosing gives a new take on the winter boot and the pointed toe flats, combined with the appropriate looks as always, allows femininity to otherwise very structured, masculine garments.

I know y'all might be like "What... ? Since when did Yeezus become a fashion designer?" But yeah, it happened. and I am glad it did. The Yeezus himself (Or Kanye, which ever floats your boat) collaborated with Adidas to bring a slightly weird, kanye-fied version of ready to wear active wear. The result focuses on bringing forward and accentuating the natural lines of the human body through the use of skin coloured/nude/hued out grey, body hugging ,stocking-line materials. Bringing out the natural lines of the human body creates an effortless beauty that is so often forgotten within the fashion world: a lot of times designers love to play with crazy, voluminous shapes that work to hide and mask the natural lines of the human body and instead work to make a human look as little human as possible; which is fine! I love it when designers do that! It makes things interesting, eye popping and a form of art. But I love what Kanye x Adidas have done with this collection; they've taken in back to the basics and decided to play with the natural form of the human body by accentuating the present shapes and curves and draping loose jackets,sweaters and coats to level things out neatly. My favourite piece has got to be the nude oversized jacket that acts as a really short dress on the model above but god damn it looks so good.
thanks for reading& stay tuned for more...
