Balmain: We have Christophe Decarnin to thank for the plethora of sequin pieces in the high-street. For S/S he reminded us how great he is with sequins and why we are now willing to wear them for daywear. The collection had military inspirations in the form of tailcoats, epaulettes and bullet belts. The sequins here were worn distressed, slashed and ripped which made the look a bit dirtier and edgy. Most of the pieces looked worn and ripped which had a good overall effect when worn with the sequins, metallics and black leather. Another winner from Decarnin, I guess sequins will be staying with us for much longer.
Christian Dior: The legend that is John Galliano, captured my favourite era, the forties in his latest collection. He brought forties film noir to the catwalk and showcased a multitude of stunning pieces. Trench coats were seen with cocktail dresses peeping under them. The belted jackets were a triumph and beautifully structured. Metallica trousers and thigh-high wrap dresses added sex appeal. Galliano always champions the underwear-as-outerwear trend and this season was no exception. Corsets and structured bras were shown under sheer, flowing fabrics which looked sensual and soft as did the negligees. The evening dresses were a triumph and captured exactly what Galliano was inspired by, true forties starlets.
Comme des Garcons: Rei Kawakubo showcases a scrapbook of colours, fabrics, textures and details in this collection. The collaging of the fabrics in dresses, tops and jackets was inspiring and they blended together effortlessly for a fun and quirky look. Tailoring also featured in the form of turned-up trousers. Sheer and nude pieces followed reminding us of who started the trend. My favourite piece was the transparent, nude trench and the cute polka dot dresses.
