Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen didn’t please me much as an overall collection. I wasn’t a fan of the screenprinting/denim look on the pocket areas of some pieces, nor the quarter length shorts - as I love to show a little leg. Despite this there were some really beautiful pieces which were tailored to perfection, and made up of rich, luxurious fabrics. The majority of the suits were double breasted, which is my favourite style of jacket. The pieces felt very editorial/costume to me; bright florals, shiny whites and sharp contrasting patterns that illuminated under the lights.
Christopher Kane
Whilst sections of Christopher Kane’s collection looked like something you’d find as the screensaver of a computer running Windows ’94, I loved the black & white print. This collection is about relaxed tailoring and textured fabric. Despite the possibility of looking like the cover of a Black Eyed Peas single, I would love to rock the middle look above - it's sure to turn some heads!
Neil Barrett
Obsessed with Neil Barrett's collections every season, his Spring/Summer 2014 was no exception. Continuing with similar styles from his Fall/Winter collection(which is avaliable for pre-order) we saw enlarged shapes across his pieces, giving a contrasting colour/material in each section, I'll definitely be buying that black and white shirt! The simple looks in this collection were so effortlessly chic that I'm not too sure what to do with myself from this point on. All I know is that I'll be wearing 50 shades of grey and beige this summer. Oversized tees made up of thick fabric look great when the tailored short is above the knee. All I can say is - sun come out where ever you are because I want to copy these looks asap!
Dior Homme
Dior homme was rich, luxe and clean. I love the small use of the holographic/metallic fabric it ables men to be daring without going over the top. I am absolutely obsessed with the vest-short-suits - pssst ASOS, please copy this style for summer!
Dolce & Gabbana
Dolce, dolce, dolce. This collection was next-level-out-of-this-world-crazy-amazing-want-it-all... that sort of vibe. Stunning prints on sweaters, shirts, suits, shorts.. ugh. It makes me cry to think I won't be owning any of these pieces. The white double breasted suits were a sharp contrast to the relaxed and busy pieces in the rest of the collection, and they are just beautiful. So very Gatsby. And the stripes. I can't even deal with this collection in anyway. So done. Ugh so good. Goodbye.
Hermes
Hermes' collection was so effortlessly chic. The lightweight fabrics and relaxed cuts made for a collection which the rich would wear on a vacation.
Lanvin
I was extremely impressed with Lanvin's collection. The colour-blocking shirts are super chic without being over the top in any way.
