Anthony Vaccarello Fall 2014

Anthony Vaccarello Fall 2014

Anthony Vaccarello's Fall 2014 Collection brimmed of sex infused, rock n roll glamour. High voltage looks that commanded plenty of attention continued to be a hallmark feature for Vaccarello.

The collection opened with a more modest look comprising of an ebony, leather and fur shrunken biker jacket teamed with charcoal, masculine, low slung trousers. Dove grey suiting was spliced to reveal a grey marle tee. A luxurious, ribbed, alabaster turtleneck was paired to an impeccable leather and shearling coat. An androgynous, tailored vest was worn tucked into slouch trousers.

Embellishment played a starring role on an asymmetrical mini skirt featuring bolstered discs and patent leather inserts offering plenty of seductive charm. A distressed, pronounced shoulder, cropped aviator jacket was married to a boatneck knit. Satanic red court shoes with glass sheen were a fierce addition.

Model Nadja Bender emerged with conviction in a saintly white, turtleneck mini dress knit with leopard trompe l'oeil panelling. A black, boiled wool, military inspired overcoat exuded clean, stark, monochromatic lines.

A suggestive, transparent blouse with faint pinstripe detail was worn plunging to the navel. The blouse was paired to a midi length skirt in a techy gloss fabric featuring an overtly sensual thigh high split for a dose of provocation. The look was accessorised with a ribbed turtleneck knitted collar with sterling silver chain and charm layered to bring an iridescent shine. A tooled leather obi belt hugged the waist. 

A leather sweater was punctuated by vermilion bullet holes and layered over a scarlet body con dress. Conceptual art reigned supreme on a black, strapless mini dress with cut out triangle detail and Spanish flamenco, patent flounce.

For the empowered woman, peg leg trousers twinned to a butter soft leather, asymmetrical top with diamond cut out under the bust evoking eighties powerhouse connotations. A glomesh, undulating ruffle caressed Sasha Luss's physique on a leather crew neck, body con, long sleeved mini dress worn belted. Plenty of long, lean endless limbs were on display, a Vaccarello fixture.

Anja Rubik closed the collection in a dare to  bare, sheer mesh top, leaving nothing to the imagination. A satin, floor length trench and ankle grazing maxi skirt with side split toggle detail concluded the look.
