we have turned the fashion switch onto spring-time mode & what better way to celebrate the coming of all things new, than a blogpost ? I love new clothes and love witnessing new releases from brands & designers... each season the clothes get more and more extravagant and I add 10,000 things to my wish list before reminding that I still want a half living bank account. Not much to talk about other than this season we are seeing an emergence of shape play & focusing on one unique detail on garments rather than focusing on bright prints and colours. The colours are more muted (except for the bright pops of yellows and magentas here and there) and the clothes are more versatile. With a large influence of previous fashionably-iconic silhouettes, ss15 brings on a youthful elegance with a sheer simplicity and is a perfect combination between the bold and the minimalistic.
Cue SS15 is my most favourite season Cue's ever done to date. Colour palette, shapes and styles are to die for, the fabrics are absolutely gorgeous and the versatility factor is through the roof. For this season, Head designer Chloe Gray focused on a perfect balance of the understated and exaggerated- bringing an influence of the 70's to the forefront whilst combining modern colour palettes and asymmetrical silhouettes. Flared pants, knitted t-shirts and playful sleeve lines, each piece of ss15 has one detail about it that makes it so unique. Perfect for both corporate and modern-day power women who love to dress to impress; from the clothes themselves down to the jewellery and bags, cue summer 15 contains the perfect statement pieces essential in any woman's wardrobe.
Kicking off the ss season with clean-cut, edgy simplicity, Scanlan Theodore has good things in store for us minimalism lovers, and pleases the part of us that's wild at heart. Featuring the classic crepe knit fabric- a very loved luxury fabric choice of Scanlan Theodore- pieces are softly tailored to mould seamlessly around the body whilst creating a unique shape & look. Adding in minuscule details into designs- such as texture to simple crepe knit high neck tops, dropped leg on a classic slim leg corporate pant, asymmetrical peplum design to challenge the norms of the peplum silhouette..... all designs portray a uniqueness that creates sheer appeal. Daring to play with fabrics, Scanlan wasn't afraid to play around with polyester, faux fur, lace & leather - in addition to crepe knit- to add complexity to the line up. Muted down neutrals in warm shades combined with fluorescent vibrant pops of colours- if anything is perfect it would be Scanlan Theodore's ss15 collection.
With a myriad of inspirations for the new season, Veronika Maine has wonderful stuff in store for everyone for the upcoming season. Taking heavy inspiration from Japanese silhouettes, VMSS15 focuses less on tailoring and more on fabric choice & construction. Liquifying structured silhouettes in place with simplistic designs made fabulous through one major detail inclusion- such as the Kimono wrapped cotton blouse; simplistic and crisp made different with the inclusion of the wide cut fabric belt perfect for creating and manipulating shape. Asymmetry & colour play play a major part in the summer line up; unconventional cuts mixed with stripes & bold colours paired with simple silhouettes all makes this collection worthy of praise. Tied off with a killer collection of belts; from the shoelace belt to the gigantic triple tie bulk belt (all in real leather), VMss15 is for every girl who wants to look killer & be comfortable doing it.
Manning Cartell ss 15 is exciting for me because it includes all things I'm loving this season; print, asymmetry and funky necklines. This season is all about playing around with colours & styles whist pertaining to your key aesthetic, which is why I love Cartell's ss line up. There's styles for the daring & styles for the toned down- styles for the classic silhouette lover & styles for the girl who wants to experiment with cuts. Vibrant tangerine oranges for shoes, and the incorporation of a dropped pant denim jean, are just some of my favourite aspects of Manning Cartell ss 15 line up. Manipulating sheer fabric to create a desired effect from the pattern choice is one of my favourite looks & the way MC played it out is perfect.
Carla Zampatti is notorious for their gorgeous evening wear - and ss 15 was no exception. I think sometimes people forget that although Carla Zampatti is a great evening wear line, they carry a range of absolutely gorgeous, delicately crafted day-wear as well. For ss15, Carla Zampatti opted for a bright colour palette- including vibrant yellows, bright magenta pinks and deep blues all with the classic black + off white colour tones to balance out the collection gracefully. Picking unconventional fabrics and designs- Carla Zampatti wasn't afraid to stand out this time around with the addition of exaggerated silhouettes& crazy shapes to add complexity that's both feminine and daring. Nothing better than a hint of pink- Carla Zampatti's full length short sleeve coat with gigantic bow - in a bright magenta pink- definitely stole the show for me. Love.
Great designs from great designers.. cannot wait for more & so excited for the upcoming season.
Thanks for reading& stay tuned for more...
