Fashion: Paris Fashion Week Highlights – Dries Van Noten

Now there were ALOT of beautifully crafted collections at PFW, more highlights of which shall be blogged about soon, but Dries van Noten’s was the one for me!

Checks often get used season after season but these colourways styled with such feminine fabrics and chic silhouettes give them a whole new lease of life. Soft tailoring and florals get refreshed in a sophisticated muted palette of reds, vintage blue, green and antique white.The styling really is essential in mixing up the prints subtly, offering up a chic grunge look – just love every piece!

Fashion: LFW SS13 Highlight – Preen

London stood quite small in comparison to New York this season I felt but Preen stood out for me at LFW by far. The sharp cuts and fabric contrasts are sliced through with a refreshing use of snakeskin. The silhouettes kept the collection sophisticated and feminine while asymmetric panelling, subtle colour blocking and beautifully considered fabrications kept each piece contemporary and totally wearable. I would happily fill my wardrobe with this collection!

There will be a couple more posts on my highlights from MFW and PFW coming soon!
