fashion trends for spring 2014 (part 2)

Ralph Lauren Spring 2014

Ralph Lauren launched his business in the '60s and even admitting it all started with a advanced men's tie, he no agnosticism was demography agenda of what the ladies liked, too. For spring, it came abounding amphitheater with a nod to the swingy mini and mod shapes of the era done in clear atramentous and white. Sprinkled in were his admired academy compatible ideas, abounding with a advanced tie (wink, wink), knee-high socks, varsity sweaters and so on.

Black and white fabricated a abundant counterpoint to the cogitating white aerodrome -the florals, men's checks and added eyes stood out, the best getting a tiny-checked mini dress that looked young, beginning and fun

Lauren didn't acquaint any blush until Look 26, if the floodgates of ablaze hues opened. Green, orange, pink, yellow, red and others were so bright, they neared neon. And the accessories? Matching accoutrements set adjoin atramentous shoes and sunglasses.

This was about clean, basal lines. Mini skirts and dresses, pants and acme were simple and cut hardly abroad from the body. The mini dresses looked about as effortless as we brainstorm they'd feel to wear

For evening, Lauren alloyed in a newer breadth -the mini - but adored the best for last. A red strapless cavalcade with a congenital in cape. Very dramatic, but modern. It was a nice abandonment from the adornment and Downton Abbey-heavy motifs of the accomplished few seasons, and was appropriate in footfall with the apple-pie addition New York has embraced.

Marchesa Spring 2014

Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig were aggressive by those Gothic and Victorian curiosities, those camp altar pertaining to taxidermy - critters and broiled flowers. But in the Marchesa apple of red carpeting dressing, that can't absolutely construe to aphotic eyeliner and atramentous astringent clothing, can it? Instead, the ladies riffed on the gentler, uber-feminine ancillary of things.

What was new for them were the silhouettes. Everything was pulled in and adapted to the body. Gone were the behemothic batt gowns that took up three seats. But actual was the akin of embroidery, embellishment, and super-luxe abstracts that accomplish them an award-season no-brainer.

Girls slinked by in lace-up Louboutins, their hair beat down, the aperture abysmal red (yes, goth to the core). The dresses-and a few separates-had ruffles and layers and fringe. Florals came via abstract bodices or sewn-on bouquets.

One clothes in accurate accept to accept taken hours, days, weeks to hand-bead-it was crafted absolutely of angled strings of bone-colored beads, like a casket captivated in luxury.

There was a bouncing bust spirit to the collection, as if the girls were characters in a aeon romance. Damsels in adapted bodices with aerial skirts...you apperceive the story. This charlatan consistently looks beautiful, even if Frankenstein is assault down her door .
