With the publication of the September issue of Vogue, (be still our beating hearts!) and the heralding in of a new season in the fashion industry, changes are always seen and made to be noticed.
This season designers such as Miuccia Prada and Jean Paul Gaultier have taken inspiration from decades past and reinterpreted styles to give them a modern twist. Elsewhere at and Dolce and Gabbana we see more boyish pieces emerge. Finally we move on to fashion houses such as Gucci where the collections were as bright as a million sparkling jewels.
Needless to say with a new season comes new designers and the reawakening of others.
The return of Tom Ford to womenswear has been praised and welcomed by all. A few days ago I finally got to see the actual pieces and took the below picture. (Sorry about the plant!) I think we could all agree that the pieces are even more stunning when seen up close, rather than just being viewed on a computer screen.
Another designer to wow the industry this season was Mary Katrantzou (above), who took many a breath away with her bright bold prints and beautifully structured dresses. Although these prints may seem intimidating they look amazing when worn. If you're like me and pretty much every dress is lightyears out of your price range, I suggest you sneak one into the dressing room and try it on the first chance you get (just be careful not to damage it in any way or it will cost you an amount you will not be willing to part with).
I urge anyone who loves fashion to run to the nearest store now, even if it is just to gaze upon the magnificence of the Autumn/Winter collections.
