Dolce & Gabbana – Fall 2013

For the past few seasons Dolce & Gabbana have been creating runway shows that celebrate Italy. Their tribute expands all the way from Roman mosaics to Italy of the 20’s & 30’s and all the way to the 60’s fashion. Whenever I watch any of Dolce & Gabbana’s runway shows I can see the typical Italian family who live on a vineyard, that are having dinner and after a few bottles of wine they raise up the music and celebrate the coming together of their family. The highest form of fashion to me is the ability to pay tribute to ones heritage and traditional clothing but translating it to a universal form that transcends every culture, making ever person dream of wearing every article of clothing in the collection. Here are my favorite looks from the collection:

Mary Katrantzou – Fall 2013

In this collection Mary plays with perspective. The prints allow the clothes to be pushed back into space, creating two different visual dimensions: the clothes and the wearer. Being an artist myself I appreciated how Katrantzou incorporated painting techniques into her designs. Here are my favorite looks from the collection:

Burberry Prorsum – Fall 2013

What I loved about this collection is how they used the plastic/PVC material to create some of their looks, you can see it in coats, skirts, dresses and shirts. Take a look at my favorite pieces from the collection:
