This song has no relevance to this post to be honest, but I can't really get this song out of my head for some strange reason, so whatever...on to more important things
So I was going to refrain from posting anything else today but having just looked at Stephane Rolland's offering for Couture AW 2014, I couldn't resist. Genuinely my favourite collection by far up until now. If I could post up every image of every look I would, but that's just unnecessary. There was a definite sculptural feel to the collection, creating drama through the use of extremely draped necklines, exaggerated shoulders and capes all coming together to produce a stunning collection!
The draping of light silks and sheer fabrics was exquisite, leaving me slightly confused as to where the dresses began and ended, some of the dresses were like Mobius strips, never-ending swathes of fabric. I especially like the addition of the capes that were a firm design element, they helped to cut a really impressive and powerful silhouette, and the rich yet dark blue that permeated through the collection was vibrant enough to retain interest without being too overpowering (I have a tendency towards darker colours, boring I know). My top picks, though it's hard to pick really, have to be:
My favourite look has to be the blue evening dress with the floor length cape with the entirely sequinned inside. BEAUTIFUL. The cut was so simple in some respects, clean curves that really allowed the slinky fabric/sequin contrast to shine. Dramatic and understated all at one instance, this was undoubtedly my look to describe the whole collection. Sculptural yet organic, dramatic yet casual....I could imagine myself wearing each and every piece of this collection! Though I hope someone like Gwenyth Paltrow or Cameron Diaz choose to wear something similar, I could really imagine Gwen in a few of these dresses...they seem right up her street.
