Mary Katrantzou x Adidas Originals

Mary Katrantzou Spring 2014
Be careful with designer and high street collaborations. Despite the predictable over-hyping in magazines ("Most-anticipated! Best one yet! To die for!") they are often not what they seem.
If you take the recent Alexander Wang for H&M collection you will struggle to find any future classic items in there. You could have with the Lanvin dresses and Versace colections previously though. 
Interestingly I think Alexander Wang clearly distanced his brand from the H&M pieces by not doing a greatest hits collection. This was practically an experimental sideline and to me looked like a routine skiwear department than something I would ravenously covet.
The Mary Katrantzou x Adidas Originals collection is much better however! Fun, innovative and a blaze of wonderful digital prints. The lace motif is fab and what a refreshing take on florals

The collection also reminds me of Peter Pilotto's bright scuba vibe.

Finally
Way to go Mary! Can't wait to next LFW.

Comme des Garcons PFW Spring 2015

Roses and blood were Rei Kawakubo's inspiration for this provocative collection.
When you are constantly blessed with the accolade of being avant-garde there's little chance of your career being in tatters.
I like the shock value of her looks as it reminds me of Alexander McQueen so much.
Daring, artistic and tailored to the max.
This could almost be seductive.
More scary than Annabelle!
Punk statement.

Quite a collar!
Very naiicce.
Explosive!

Finally
Incredible bridal look.

Gucci Fall 2014 Sixties Fashion

Turn your clock back to the 60s a la Gucci if you want to wow this Fall. Nadja Bender slinked her way down the catwalk in this snug, colourful and extremely feminine collection.
Miu Miu have been mining the 60s for some gem collections for a while now and it's exciting to see Gucci do it their own style now too.
If you've got it..
Super-soft leather in pastel perfection.
Knee-high boots are the way to go this Fall.
Classy and snazzy

Coat Heaven!
How great would you feel in these? J'aime beaucoup!
Best biker ever! For ever ever?
One for Riri?

Misfires!
Something badly went wrong with Joan's look.
Don't risk this cigarette butt look either. You see people picking those up off the street.
Come get yo candy? No thanks!

This is cute though.
Oh! Give us a squeeze!
Classic  look for Salma on the FROW.
Stunning Leigh Lezark, Mademoiselle Yulia and Leah Weller. Girl group heaven if they teamed up

Finally
Rock the party in this one!
Brilliant Frida!

Becky G

"You light me up inside 
Like the Fourth of July
Whenever you're around
I always seem to smile
And people ask me how
Well you're the reason why
I'm dancing in the mirror and singing in the shower"
Becky G ya get's me!
