NYFW 2018 - Brandon Maxwell Fall 2018
New York Fashion Week! Frankly this is one of the most exciting times of year for me (rivaling Christmas) where we get to indulge in fantastic new collections from established brands and new designers are unveiled.
Watch the RUNWAY
This post, we're talking about Brandon Maxwell, by no means a new designer, however, his is a new name to me. And I have to say, I am glad to have stumbled upon this collection. The Autumn, Winter collection consists of 38 looks, the theme (as said by Maxwell himself) is 'relaxed glamour'. I would imagine this to refer to the addition of pockets, slouched fabrics and basic white tee paired with the gorgeous satin like fabrics, evening dress and sparkles. My favourite combination in this entire collection had to be the pairing of the super sexy high slit in the skirts and the fluffy sliders.
I loved the decor chosen for this runway; dark, dim with the theatrics of smoke. His runway consisted of many big-named faces, such as Gigi and Bella Hadid, Romee Strijd, Joan Smalls and one of my favourite faces: Karlie Kloss, At the time of year the show took place I couldn't help but think that this was a subtle salutation to Vday, however, this following quote from the designer himself concludes the collection perfectly:
“Every woman is not just going to a black-tie event every night. They have places to be!”

FASHION IN FOCUS - Victoria Beckham S/S 2018
Absolutely in love with Victoria Beckham this upcoming season. For me, the mix of pastel colours is genius and so novel and modern - it feels like a breath of fresh air! Whilst I adore pretty much everything within this collection, my favourite is the outfit consisting of a crisp, white shirt with, what resembles a double-layered collar, a salmon coloured midi length skirt, and a pair of sage green court shoes with a slight metallic finish. The star of the show is, no doubt, the cornflower blue Vanity Camera Bag. Something about its neat shape, rounded edges and simplicity just works.

FASHION IN FOCUS: Antonio Marras
Autumn/Winter 2016/17
Bold jewel-tones. Stark-black leather. Dramatically clumpy mascara. I think I'm in love! And slightly scared...
The Sardinian-born designer features a melange of folklore elements and the occasional vintage touch. Collections commonly consists of luxury silky fabric, rich colour and bold prints. Whilst moody floral motifs are a recurring component within his prints, Marras also explores the eccentricity of irregular geometric prints.
It is quite rare for a collection to inspire me so much that I would immediately want to whip up a whole new post on it - considering my laid-back work ethic when it comes to this blog. Admittedly, the collection itself is not my style; not something I would steer towards in a shop or boutique, however, what makes this so striking for me is the imagery. A combination of the painted glass, patterned wooden panels and exposed distressed wood are what brings the entire look together.

As individual pieces, some stand out more than others; a few containing a stronger, more structured silhouette, others, a silky, natural flow. The patterns used for these garments, I would consider quite conventional, typically in the current trends, save for perhaps the shoulder patch on the burgundy blouse and the style and shape of the teal jumpsuit. However, I do feel standard silhouettes work here because it is all about texture and prints. The prints are what steal the show. Personally, I am a massive fan of mixing slightly mismatched prints. And although the country florals aren't to my taste, the stripes, chevrons and somewhat confused are my cup of tea.
