Ready to Wear Fall 2014!!!! Burberry

So normally I'm not a big fan of Burberry they definitely lost me with the futuristic, metallic, PVC collection and I hadn't been back since but I loved this one. The relaxed not quite boho style, the scarves, the colour palate and the printed macs. Inspired by the Bloomsbury Group, a group of English writers, artists and intellects brought together at the start of the 1900s by their united belief in the importance of the arts, they ignored most Victorian conventions and social etiquette and became much more informal and self-indulgent but still kept their sophistication, even if they had complex geometric figure love shapes instead of just the plain old triangle. Bailey used the Bloomsbury Group to inspire the prints as well as the model styling basing it on how a muse would just throw on a scarf or coat before they went outside.

Ready to Wear Fall 2014 Antonio Marras!!!

I loved this collection! There were so many influences bundled into one show that I found it pretty irresistible. I loved the use of different textures and different prints in each look and who can resist a good wolf motif? Inspired by numerous reference points Annemarie Schwarzenbach (http://reallifeiselsewhere.blogspot.co.uk/2011/01/icon-annemarie-schwarzenbach.html), Little Red Riding Hood, Joseph Beuys and Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf. Which do all, apparently, link together? Anyway my favourite looks below!

Ready to Wear Fall 2014 Alexander McQueen!!!

This season McQueen went with a different look, they relaxed the shape and went more fairytale and mystical. They kept the usual McQueen colour palate and simple but incredibly detailed designs. Sarah Burton was inspired by 'wild beauty' but 'through an innocent child's eyes' and that was definitely accomplished in this collection. But I miss the old 'structured' McQueen I found it a lot more exciting; the bee collection! Or the feminine futuristic collection they were amazing, this collection there were only a couple multi-coloured looks I was wowed by. Don't get me wrong I would still give an arm to have a McQueen hanging in my wardrobe just maybe not an arm and a leg for this collection.

Fall 14 Ready-to-Wear!! BCBG Max Azria

Who wouldn't turn to BCBG Max Azria to find that perfect freakum dress they have built such an incredible reputation of creating sculpted looks that show off a women's figure but still leave something to the imagination and, in fact, this collection marked their 25th anniversary! This collection the body-con has been relaxed a little but it is fall and everyone deserves a little bit of comfort in the winter. It was very luxurious both in the palate and the materials used and I want ALL the accessories... please? My favourites below.

Fall 14 Ready-to-Wear!! Alexander Wang

Alexander Wang is so cool! I love how he always manages to combine geeky and gangster. However this season he has moved away a little from the gangster and moved a lot towards outdoor survival, when you see the pictures below you'll understand! Shown in an eco-friendly building which also had organic air purification, a new trend for fall? :) this collection Wang was inspired by 'extreme conditions and survival' but kept the core style close to home staying resolutely urban. My favourites below.

Fall 14 Ready-to-Wear!! Thakoon

I always enjoy seeing Thakoon Panichgul's collections he manages to be innovative and creative but still keep the femininity and this season's collection is no different. There was a focus on patterns and layering and he used a range of colours. I love the creative cuts and the simple dressing which is what you want from a fall collection, outfits you don't have to put too much effort into on cold morning to make look cool. My favourite looks are below!

Fall 14 Ready-to-Wear!! Mara Hoffman

A fun, patterned filled collection for fall from Mara Hoffman and a couple pieces that shouldn't work but kinda do, I'm looking at you fringed trouser and jumper outfit! I love the feminine, playful looks and all the different cuts of dresses and a lighter palate for fall. There is a good mix of dramatic and easy going looks. It looks like a great wardrobe for somewhere that gets a bit colder but still stays sunny.

Fall 14 Ready-to-Wear!! Jenni Kaye

I absolutely love Jenni Kaye the collections are so consistently cool and effortlessly chic, they cover every aspect of a wardrobe. This Fall 14 collection has some great pieces, inspired by English country manor dressing and taking reference from Amanda Brooks' Instagram the use of pattern with casual pieces such as the striped jumper and plain green leather skirt makes the looks so cool and gives off an easy street style vibe. I also love the use of a colourful pattern for a fall collection and the jackets and coats are so cool!
