Queen VB!

It came to be that on a brutally cold New York morning, Victoria Beckham proved to us all once again why she is swiftly becoming one of London's most impressive exports.

While delivering a collection for AW 2014 that was at once familiar, elegant and exquisitely detailed.  There was also an obvious continued shift in the overall silhouette of her collections.

While monochrome spoke loudly throughout the show, there were bold dashes of colour (see the beautifully over sized dress above).   Abstract, bold prints were dotted throughout the collection adding interest and much needed relief to the sharply tailored collection.

The early days of corsetry and hourglass definition have been replaced with a more relaxed and edgy feel, much like the designer herself!

There is more fabric and more manipulation to each of the looks, an obvious continuation from her SS14 collection.  Gentle fabric folds at necklines, playful organza ruffles on hemlines and full sections of pleated silk, suggest that VB is well and truly designing for an edgy, relaxed and inspiring girl about town who knows who she is and what she wants. Just like the lady herself.

Look no 31(above) a floor length evening gown that combined pleating. fabric play and silhouette beautifully, was by far the strongest look from the collection and I hope that we get to see even more evening looks in her next collection.  As she could really become the QUEEN V of the Red Carpet.

Congratulations Victoria - we salute you!

Herve Leger New York Fashion Week

Apart from loving the fact that all the designers are making the shows more accessible for us I am also dying for it to be AW10 because some of the looks on the runway i would give both my kidneys for...
Just a quick low down of some of the outfits that i feel are fit for kidney donation.. from the Herve Leger A/W10 collection.
This 1st outfit was an absolute stand out for me. The detail in the Jacket is exquisite and a little reminiscent of the Jaeger jacket from A/W 08 but with a more sculpted look. It is slimming , edgy and feminine in one and the trousers are oh so fab! Please let me be a stone lighter and a millionaire in time to buy this outfit!!


Another look that caught my eye and one that people have been saying is a perfect Cheryl Cole outfit, is this fab high necked dress with futuristic detailing and that oh so flattering hip detail. Of course Cheryl Cole would look great in this... she would look great in a bin bag. But I would rather see Dannii Minogue wear this one as she would give it more edge with her unconventional up-do's
The entire collection was I think what we have all come to expect from a Herve Leger collection. A bodyconaliscious selection of bandage dresses of various shades and shapes, but this collection had a few stand out details, two of which are pictured above. For me the more futuristic looks with the repeated square detailing and scale like patterns had more wow factor especially in the high gloss materials. The other looks that caught my eye were the knitted looking dresses a little reminiscent of the Mark Fast S/S10 dresses, but for me personally this version is a much more glamorous look.
