H&M Autumn Winter 2013

I went to the H&M Press Day this week to view the AW13 Collection, and what a beaut it was! 

Modern drama with a tomboy spirit is at the heart of this collection. First presented on the catwalk of Paris Fashion Week, it is set to debut in around 200 stores worldwide  and online from September 5th. 

The collection mixes tailoring with glamour to create contrasts. Military tailcoats create a dramatic silhouette while a variety of delicate sequin dresses add faded grandeur. 

Extra shine comes from the sequins and fringing giving the collection a Great Gatsby feel. 

Bohemia comes from a heavily embroidered velvet jacket, while chunky knitwear brings winter comfort. 

Accessories complete the contrasting mood with stacking-rings for every finger and stud earrings for a punk feel. Biker boots or flat shoes add a fresh twist along with tassel belts, embroidered collars and vintage-inspired bags. 

LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE SEQUIN EMBELLISHED TROUSERS! 

I also really WANT this structured skirt. 

Winter is not complete with out a great faux fur coat

Holly Fulton AW13 - London Fashion Week

It seems that London Fashion Week has come around again sooner than ever, and this morning I was at the Holly Fulton show, and what a beautiful and wearable collection it was.

Inspired by 70s art school rockers and taking seductive temptress Beatrice Dalle as a muse, Holly has sliced and pasted signature geometric motifs across leather biker jackets and photocopy skirts. Big cats, angry bears and venomous snakes pop on billowing, printed satin organza maxi skirts and dresses.

For an Autumn Winter collection it was nice to see some colour, with a lot of blues, and pops of ruby red.

The Holly Fulton label centres around the creation of high-end, contemporary Womenswear, with print and embellishment at its core. Strong signature graphic elements epitomise the bold aesthetic to which the label is synonymous for, and this collection did not disappoint.

One of my favourite looks; sequinned feathers embellish soft leathers. 

And my all time favourite, the final look; A beautiful flowing organza silk maxi dress.
