Michael Kors Fall 2015

Michael Kors Fall 2015

Masterful designer, Michael Kors created a charismatic Fall 2015 collection channelling easy elegance and classically minded pieces for the sophisticated woman.

Ubermodel, Natasha Poly emerged modelling a charcoal, ombre flecked, fox fur coat which fell below the knee. The oversized coat starred in mannish proportions and was twinned to a refined, scoop neck, grey marle sweater dress of midi length. Open back, slip on, oak brogues and a russet leather satchel handbag conjured deconstructed glam.

A mocha, double breasted blazer in tweed boucle featured split sleeve detail lending cape qualities to the mix. The blazer was drawn in at the waist by a simplistic, raven leather belt complete with burnished gold buckle. A matching midi length skirt was streamlined with subtle flounce hem revealing androgynous footwear. A neat, boxy, single handled handbag in mahogany oozed of ladylike chic. Consummate class reigned supreme on a wool, camel, double breasted coat. Tortoiseshell buttons descended down the coat's front panel while sleeves featured ostentatious fur trimmings from the elbow enveloping the entire hand to resemble gargantuan fur mittens.

For a jolt of colour try the jewel toned ruby, regal, damask print coat with showstopping oxblood fur collar which worked effortlessly against the flushed cheeks and porcelain skin of model Vanessa Moody. Fur continued to frequent the runway, Molly Blair modelled a sable scarf which fell to the knees and was belted to created feminine allure. The scarf acted as a collar to the khaki guncheck wool trench. The look was finalised with an olive, ribbed, turtleneck dress, layered perfection.

A yellow mustard damask tunic shift featured peekaboo keyhole and covered buttons which plummeted down the centre of the dress. A two tier flounce, relaxed sleeve added a bohemian feel. Ombre striped fox collar blended harmoniously with model Anna Ewer's wheaten tresses.

A poetic, glittered lace, sheer dress in teal was a dapper accession brimming with vivacity. The scalloped lace hem added a flirtatious edge. The transparent number was teamed to a teal plaid trench coat for modesty. dainty, waxy T-bar heels in ebony accompanied the look.

Bondi Junction local, Julia Nobis modelled a crystal encrusted paisley, pyjama like ensemble. Slouchy cuffed trousers and a relaxed shirt oozed of deluxe loungewear. An opulent, black , fox fur stole offered plenty of grandeur.

A victorious collection from the illustrious Kors, reinventing the hallmark classics to satisfy the global consumer.

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.
