Diane Von Furstenberg Fall 2013
Monday, February 11th, 2013Shoe Rack // Kate Spade Fall 2013
Sunday, February 10th, 2013
Deborah Lloyd of Kate Spade kept the shoes for fall 2013 as playful as the garments.
Like the garments in the collection, inspiration was two fold. There were heels inspired by all things New York; the yellow cab and the iconic checkerboard pattern.
The rest were seemingly informed by a glamorous Studio 54 aesthetic.
On the shoe rack.
Backstage Pass // Mara Hoffman Fall 2013
Sunday, February 10th, 2013
From Nick Irwin’s twisted hair texture (seen in progress in second image) created from twisted sections and hair jewellery (a trio of chains hanging from ear to ear), the texture and color, the metal toe capped boots to the mystic ethnic prints, Hoffman’s backstage was everything her aesthetic is; natural, dreamy, mythical and far flung.
Stay backstage.
Lacoste Fall 2013
Saturday, February 9th, 2013
At Lacoste fall 2013 it was all glacial expedition (seen in the longitude and latitude prints) and exploration in structure.
Shapes were more exaggerated than normal for the brand. This season saw Felipe Oliveira Baptista put the Lacoste woman in a cocoon shape with a dropped sporty shoulder in jersey, leather and foam.
The palette was neutral envoking the icy expedition inspiration with jolts of primary colors; blue, green, orange.
Helmut Lang Fall 2013
Saturday, February 9th, 2013
Picasso’s cubism was a reference point for Nicole and Michael Colovos of Helmut Lang’s strong fall 2013 offering.
This paved the way for interesting geometry; seen in a angularly collaged textures (silk, pressed wool, pony and felt) in the minimalist outerwear and expressionist print separates. The palette was primarily monochromatic with nude, black and white being the mainstay. Entitled ‘Assemblage’,the collection could not have been more aptly named with one dress having more than 125 parts in total.This was a beautiful collection that managed to stay clean cut minimalist and textured all at once.

Edun Fall 2013
Friday, February 8th, 2013
Founded by Bono and Ali Hewson and as designed by Sharon Wauchob, Edun for fall 2013 is tough but wearable.
The collection featured draped silver lame dresses, leather biker jackets, silk plaid, faux piercings on garments with multiple fine chains.
This is a seemingly punk aesthetic, pared back.
Backstage Pass // Nicholas K Fall 2013
Thursday, February 7th, 2013
For fall 2013 the Nicholas K woman is inspired by the artic explorer by way of the tough street Nicholas K signature.
The palette was olive green, grey and black. The structure, slouchy and draped with layered outerwear being key.
Snoods, hoods and googles added to the intuit explorer feel. Footwear was wedges with elasticated strapping detail.

Friday, February 1st, 2013
Paisley for me gets better with time. Designers have devised clever interpretations of the print, so canny that sometimes you can barely make out that it is the good ol’ friendly paisley.
With the weekend up ahead a girl could do with a paisley separate.
I’m talking the 60′s platform wearing-tote carrying-slicked high ponytail sporting Barbie type paisley at PPQ spring summer (because I want to be a pool girl too). It came with lots of roses and enough going on to keep things interesting for days.
Alternatively, Isabel Martant’s unflappable French chic would make those pants a great starting point for a layered outfit.
What would you rather be wearing?

Breathtaking, everything.
When sculpture and architecture met the purity of white.
