22/4 shows fall/winter 2014 Collection

This collection is all about color blocking and fabric blocking. What stood out the most from this collection was the grayish blue and burgundy suit. This color block combo features burgundy pants, and the jacket has burgundy suit sleeves. However, the rest of the suit jacket except the sleeves is a grayish blue tone, and instead of two buttons in the middle there are two off center straps holding the jacket together. On the left lapel there is a navy blue floral accent to show off even more fabric texture. It can be a new take on modern buttons perhaps. Another really interesting outfit is the tuxedo where in place of the regular cummerbund it’s leather. Contrasting fabrics, and yet still being formal at the same time.  A fall/winter collection isn’t complete without fur though. It’s a very luxurious and noticeable fabric that is used as both the highlighting material and as a contrasting addition. It’s highlighted in its use as the full back and shoulder material in the new half wool and half fur overcoat. The cream colored fur seems like a lion was conquered in the wild, and used as warmth on the body. That same material was also used as an accessory fabric as a collar for a white sweater. Keeping warm and looking good has never felt softer and more enjoyable than with fur.
