Prints, beautiful colour prints!

Part 1

Soo... It's been a while since my last post, apologies for that! Life has been busy but I will try to make up for it. I have been scrambling to catch up on all my work as well as researching the fashion shows I missed this season. I am in the mood for colour these days and some collections caught my eye for their brilliant prints and colour combinations. 

Marc Jacobs, the ever favourite of New York Fashion Week showed his younger label 'Marc' to an eager crowd this season. I loved the youthful, playful silhouettes and combination of prints. The overall look as usual from Jacobs was a beautiful homage to vintage and was nicely styled with extra large bows.

In Paris, Dries Van Noten produced a collection that as a whole was a bit inconsistant and could have done with a bit of editing. When he did strike the right chord though, his pieces were amazingly beautiful and elegant. His ethnic fabrics ranged in colours from purples, mustard yellows, oranges, the deepest burgandies and blues and brought to mind exotic lands of Morroco and the Far East.

Dai Fujiwara designer for Issey Miyake, showed an interesting mix in Paris this season. The show started off with simple cuts in pale shades and abruptly changed to a psychedelic pallette paired with strange knits. Although there was not a lot of sense to be made with greatly varied looks in his collection there were some stand out pieces that caught my eye. Hand dyed clothes in brilliant colours, amazing prints, a celtic textile (inexplicably thrown into the mix), and a creative way of draping his fabrics make the collection worth note.

One of the first design labels I started to follow, Kenzo never fails to create something that dazzles the eye and inspires the imagination. This season has not fallen short of expectations as Kenzo paints a scene of a dessert nomad, styled in beautifully sumptuous colours and textures. As well as following this seasons top trends such as large waisted Kimono style belts and ultra sheer fabrics, Kenzo has created a collection that is sure to please the fans.
