a rum lot.

i truly wish i had the patience and the commitment to cover everrrry show but despite my increasing amount of spare time, all the hours in the world could not aid this. so here's some of my favourites, in one small condensed little post, produced with love & care especially for you*.


marc by marc jacobs: wow, loved the total 70's vibe, from the midi-length skirts, dresses and coats as well as the flecks of burnt orange, navy & green. another shockingly amazing collection i expected to hate. the bare, au natural make up i envy also.



donna karan: aw man, DK killed it! it was like a futuristic twist on Mad Men. i can totally see christina hendricks in most of these pieces. the only complaint however is that the swathes of fabric seemed to drown the teeny tiny models, so i definitely think this is a collection for women of real shape. about time, too!



victoria beckham: i loved the pure minimalism, perhaps borrowing slightly from jil sander. but it's more than what i expected from victoria, i automatically assumed i'd hate it but the bags, ugh to die for.



alexander wang: kinda loved it, actually. i was scared my love affair with mr wang was over for good but i think the sheer pieces, the silks, the tailored coats mixed with sportswear puts him firmly back where he belongs.



prabal gurung: aw just WOW. i mean, a few of the pieces i feel have been a little reworked, but the predominance of this collection is just fabulous. i'd love to see someone like mila kunis totally rock that leather dress.


*the mulleavy sisters will of course have their own dedicated, in depth post. NATURALLY.
