Nothing quite as languid as boudoir dressing.
Negligee dresses, silk pajama type two pieces, sumptuous texture and dressing coats all thrown on with insouciance.
Today I’d rather be wearing boudoir dressing.
Marc Jacobs did it oh so well for fall 2013 at both his eponymous line and Louis Vuitton.
What would you rather be wearing?

On connecting nightclub like podiums the debut Rihanna for River Island collection was launched at London Fashion Week autumn winter 2013.
Co-designed by River Island designer and costume designer, Adam Selman, the collection featured a 90′s inspired urban lineup of crop tops worn with gold body chain jewelry, slouchy pants, dungarees, spaghetti strap lycra dresses and skirts (both with thigh high slits), hoods, baseball caps, hoop earrings, bra tops, boyish denim, hot pants, sweats, hooded jumpsuit etc.
Very much in the style of Rihanna, the well styled collection exuded street wit, sexuality and a juxtaposing boyish laid back attitude.
The singer took a bow at the end of the show with Adam Selman.

What Naeem Khan does best is bringing together of the opulence of his Indian heritage and the glamor of bygone eras.
In this collection he referenced everything from the 20′s to old Hollywood.
This collection as is always with Khan, was pure red carpet dressing.
Focal was heavy labor intensive hand worked detailing. His quintessential sequin and beaded gowns, met skinny dress pants paired with pussy bow blouses worn with cropped jackes.
His rich heritage came through in sumptuous traditional Indian hand embroidery on capes. His palette was equally decadent in black, silver, red and gold.

Chado Ralph Rucci is a master at blending a constant quest for tranquil balance, weightlessness, exquisite tailoring and an almost compulsive attention to detail.
The silhouette was always for Rucci was sleek and sophisticated. The color palette focused on shades of purple, lime green, pink, yellow (four fur coats came down the catwalk at the same time in these hues) and other vibrant hues.
For day there were sheaths, leather jackets, turtle necks, shirt dresses, leather dresses and skirts. By night his uptown woman had changed into tunics (knit pailette, chiffon and mesh) with matellase pants, satin full length skirt with a turtle neck, gazar and chiffon evening gowns.

For the fall 2013 the Adeam girl is taken from the streets of the city into the woods.
Hanako Maeda was inspired by the work of Gerhard Richter, specifically his ‘Landscapes’ series which sees him blur boundaries between contrasting landscpaes; urban roads, street lights and woods.
Maeda’s fall 2013 collection imagines the urban set against the elements of nature.
The city influence is seen in the sharp tailored silhouettes. Then elements such as palette (black, midnight blue, red, burgundy, moss green), print (there is are apt deer and bark prints respectively) and detail (climbing moss like embroidery on hemlines, mussed up hair and jewelry) infuse the woodsy natural landscape.

For fall 2013 the Vivienne Tam presented a collection in a palette of black, white and red that felt Punk at core.
Black lipped models wore a mish mash of techno prints, tartan, houndstooth and Chinese characters. This was paired with mannish oversize military tailoring; a long miltary wool coat worn over a dress and a boiler suit stood out.
Memorable pieces from the collection included the crop wide leg houndstooth pants and geometric sheath dresses.
Vivienne Tam’s fall 2013 woman is both making a cultural and politcal statement.
