london fashion week


Daks

Daks always shows clothes that I actually want to wear. The causality of it all is what's so intriguing. Take for example the third to last look: a knee-length skirt in the signature print with a black sweater...but with sheer detailing. And a cut out heel. The colors are always muted. There's always a brown and a beautiful cream, loads of black. But I like the newer colors like that mauve and peach. Oh and that sparkle shawl-top. 


Paul Smith

Primary colors are always exciting the human eye. They're their own color. Red, blue and yellow are most painter's choice for base colors and sometimes blue. They're attractive because they are bold and stand alone. Much like Paul Smith in general. His collections are bold as he always dresses women in menswear (I like that there were a few dresses this season). The pieces are smart and can be independently worn. Take one of the red trousers or green trousers or any jacket and pair it with anything in your closet. I guarantee it would work. 



Preen

I don't know what it is about Preen that I like. I'm not a prints gal, but there's something so neat about Preen that I can't help but notice. Maybe it's the fact that those crazy and sometimes annoying prints are contrasted with simple colors and architectural and clean silhouettes. They're also juxtaposed with different angles and and aura of minimalism.
