Best of 2014 Spring Collections: Julien MacDonald

2014 Spring trend alert: white evening dresses, deep plunges, cutouts and sheer fabric, leg slits and lots of sequins and precious details
The Julien MacDonald Spring 2014 collection is another one of the highlights the upcoming season entices with, although for many it was just another MacDonald collection. However, I think it's a seductive and elegant collection with gorgeous details and styles. The cutouts are sensual, the evening dresses are visionary, whereas the sequins, feathers and embellishments are eye-candy. It's the kind of collection I've really much enjoyed watching over and over again. It might just be me, being so excited with the upcoming parties of the cold seasons where the glam and haute couture spell sparkle and drama.

The highlights of the collection are see-through fabrics (delicate sheer tulle and the signature spider-web knit), lots of sequins and beads, crystal embellishments, lace, feather adornments and deep, deep plunges. There wasn't much color in the Julien MacDonald Spring 2014 collection but the few hints of color successfully made everything pop. 

However some of styles did remind me of Balmain's previous collections but I have to admit I do love the embellishments and patterns used.

Best Fashion Collections of Spring 2014: Zimmermann


2014 Spring trend alert: high waist midi dress, powerful cutouts, sweet pastels, the bow and prints
So the Fashion Week season is on and I've already spotted a few of the new trends. But before trends get ready to enjoy the highlights of the upcoming seasons. Let's start it off with the Spring 2014 Zimmermann collection with sensual and above anything else incredibly delicate looks.

Earlier this month, Zimmermann made its debut at the New York fashion week and it was quite the statement in favor of femininity and grace. Pastels mixed with silver and gold, the black and white remains a favorite of the season, whereas fabrics vary from the soft and graceful organza to leather. There were a few swimsuits, extremely sensual and alluring (especially the black piece). Whereas the cutouts might look a bit deep, Zimmermann managed to keep the collection decent and sweet thanks to the delicate organza, Asian designs and floral prints, not to mention the sophisticated ruffles.
