LFW - Day 3 : Carrying on..

Sunday

A good day. My favourites, Matthew Williamson (go figure !), Nicole Farhi and Antonio Berardi.


So I'll start with Nicole Farhi. In case you guys didn't know, my favourite colour is green. The shirt and skirt are perfection as far as i am concerned. Just lovely. The rest..not bad at all, i thought the multi-coloured items were very cute. I really liked the relaxed, slouchy feel it was giving out. Great items for summer: That blue and white stripped slouchy top and the light beige, camel -like coloured shirt with the belt, very nice, you've got the rolled up sleeves just simply great.
Favourite overall outfit? The multi-coloured jumpsuit (I'm pretty sure its shorts at the bottom)




I've only heard about this designer quite recently. I love the outfits Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried have worn by him. This collection is quite impressive. You can see that he takes pride in structure, also in this collection he has emphasized the hips on a women by just making the bottom parts of the dresses wider and full of volume. Favourite overall outfit? In the first picture, the cream suit. The flap on the skirt is so chic and I think he may become know for those rounded parts in his collections.





If I said that I got carried away trying to pick the best outfits from this collection, I would kind of be lying. Carried away can't even express how excited I was when I saw this collection.
I need to say Matthew Williamson has done well, now if you read my blog often you know I love his stuff, oh that Magenta Suit will never leave my mind! But seriously, if i had an official designer ranking, he'd be pretty high up there :)


Okay, so to be honest, I don't know where to start or what to say. Well, the suits. He is a great designer of suits and this midnight blue geometric designed one is a great example of how great they look. The bright dress next to the suit is very cool, when I look at it, for some reason I get this sort of ethnic vibe. (shrugs shoulders) I dunno, i guess the colours and their placements create that sort of element.
Those bronze/copper coloured shorts are quite striking and I'm sure would be the perfect way to start any outfit.
I'm loving the shapes within the patterns and the mixtures and rendering that the colours are doing on some of the dresses. The bag that the girl with the swim-suit is wearing looks nice (below is a zoom in shot of it).
The ruched chiffon on the finale dress is so rich and fine, I hope I see someone where it at an event in the near future.
Favourite overall outfit? Wow! This is hard, but I gotta choose one, so that one is the dress on the left to the rushed chiffon finale. Oh the embellishments are outrageously cool. The way the colour renders in the shoulders is just exquisite. I love the actual pattern of the dress and I would love to wear that, and isn't that what it's all about?
