Zuhair Murad – Spring Couture 2013

I liked Zuhair Murad’s collection due to it’s limited pallet as well as the detailing on the dresses. We have recently seen many cloaks come down the runways, therefore, I believe its one of this year’s must haves, so keep an eye on them while shopping. Below are my favorite looks from the Zuhair Murad Spring 2013 Couture collection. Enjoy!

It has been rumored that Anna Wintour skipped Obama’s inauguration to just to be at the Christian Dior runway show. So as expected the runway show was spectacular, I think we have just found the garden of heaven and everyone is wearing Dior Couture. Here are my favorite pieces from the collection.

Fall 2013 – Hermès

I love the bright colors used in this collection, it adds diversity to ones closet in the winter. I also loved the crocodile leather jacket. Here are my favorite pieces from the collection:

Fall 2013 – Dior Homme

I loved the belts that were included in the collection, it visually gives the wearer a smaller waist. Furthermore, during the collection many shirts and suits and a geometrical design in it (the circle with the triangle in the middle), I may not be the biggest fan of this print or shape, but I enjoyed the collection as a whole. Take a look at my favorite pieces from the collection:

Fall 2013 – Brioni

I just want  a closet full of the Brioni and Canali fall 2013 collections. They are chic, timeless, and most importantly wearable. I want every single piece from both collections. Take a look at Today’s Brioni show and see yesterday’s Canali show here- Fall 2013- Canali.

Fall 2013 – Canali

If I ever wanted a closet, it would include everything on that runway. I can’t get over the velvet suits, printed silk trousers, and the coats. Take a look for yourself and see how amazing it is.

Fall 2013 – Dolce & Gabbana

I am sorry I couldn’t post anything yesterday. I was on a flight from Jordan back to DC to finish my last semester at university (Scary and exciting at the same time). Many fashion shows for men took place in the last two days, so there will be a lot to cover. Dolce & Gabbana held their fashion show yesterday and all I could imagine watching the show was Italian men from the early 1900’s had run away from a monastery and have somehow ended up in 2013. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED the show, but this thought was running through my head the whole time. Take a look at my favorite tools from the fashion show and tell me what you think!

Fall 2013 – Kenzo

God I still haven’t received the numbers to your Black American Express! I need those numbers soon! Last night It was all about Kenzo at Pitti Uomo. Take a look at the looks that I liked the most, I specially loved the asymmetric coats as well as the baby blue color used.

Pre-Fall 2013 – Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton’s Pre-Fall 2013 collection was previewed. Watching the collection I couldn’t decide which looks were my favorite to show. I loved the play with the shoulder pads, but mostly I loved the coats!
