KENZO SS15

Kenzo goes for a geometry inspired collection with symmetrical stripes, dots and other interesting shapes. The coats in this collection are a huge strong point, with the shape and fit being just right. The choices of colours also make for interesting additions to ones wardrobe, featuring mint, copper-brownish colours and a lot of soft pinks.

Personal Highlight: the above racer inspired jumpsuits and jacket & trouser pairing. The logo inspired patches add a sporty element to the outfits. Also, symmetry in the outfits makes for a way to mix and match.

Peace and Blessings,

FENDI SS15

Fendi SS15 is one of my favourite collections of the season. With blocks of primary colour matched against neutral tones and paired with loud, bright bags and casual sandals, the collection gives off an effortlessly luxurious feel. The denim in the collection is another strong point, as are the bags (which is expected of Fendi).

The jackets in this collection are to die for. The above few are actually beautiful; they scream "you're a student, you can't even imagine owning this", which makes me need it more.

Peace and Blessings,

DIOR HOMME SS15

Heavy in primary colours and sharp suits Dior Homme SS15 draws inspiration from many different artistic sources, putting an interesting spin on the print trend. Featuring stripes and a wonderfully bright yellow overcoat this years show kept things relatively simple.

Personal Highlight: The blue bomber jacket with the white writing, it stood out as being the item I would wear the most, as it can be worn as the main focus of an outfit which is important of a jacket.

THOM BROWNE SS15

I really want to know what goes on in Thom Browne's mind. He's managed to create a collection that is part Gundam, part butterfly/moth and part art instillation. Its a spectacular show even if you can't wear the clothes in public.

I don't know what else to say other than the collection is interesting to look at and the designs on a lot of the pieces are so intricate and beautiful. The collection as a whole is very pretty and detailed, it's more art than fashion to me (although you could argue fashion is art haha).

Peace and Blessings,

SAINT LAURENT SS15

A dark 70's festival inspiration makes this the perfect collection for a new Tim Burton film. It also makes it my favourite Saint Laurent collection. Playing around with textures and dark colours has paid off.

I can't get over how beautiful some of the ponchos are. And the whole aesthetic of the collection works so well with what the brand has become know as and also at reinventing itself. The jackets in the collection are cool and road ready, with pretty much everything in the collection being wearable straight off the runway.

Peace and Blessings,

MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA SS15

Patchwork, sheer material and the occasional flash of bright colour. Maison Martin Margiela delivers a well structured and a well thought out collection.

With some materials that flow and others that are rigid, this collection shows how masterfully MMM handles materials and plays with textures. My favourites are the outfits that incorporate sheer materials with structured ones, the contrast is amazing.

Peace and Blessings,

GOSHA RUBCHINSKIY SS15

Denim, loose fits and primary, block colours. Check out Gosha Rubchinskiy SS15 below.

Personal Higlight - the all yellow outfit with the black socks, gives off the casual sportwear vibe that I love seeing in desinger shows.

Peace and Blessings,

AMI SS15

AMI serves up one of the most effortlessly cool collections ever; the clothes and choice of models make this the chillest show of SS15 so far.

The black and white trend reappears, this time with the occasional pop of colour (such as the orange on the right). The large square print on the pieces above add a nice detail.

The blues and greens in this collection are so cool. Matched with stripes, blocks of black and white, each look could easily be worn in a number of different situations.

This is where the collection gets seriously stylish. The stripes, the pops of red and the sunglasses make the above outfits look like memorable costumes from a cult 90's French film.

These were some of the looks I could see people rocking around London, simple, stylish and very AMI.

The above three were my personal highlights. The off-oranges show a different take on the bright colour trend, and the jumpsuit in the middle is so well tailored I wouldn't be afraid to walk down the high-street in it.

Peace and Blessings,

Andre

GIVENCHY SS15

Riccardo Tisci said he started at square one with this collection; well considering Tisci's square one is damn good, we're gifted with another great Givenchy show.

These moth inspired prints are vibrant and busy, but still work well with the black and white trend, and although they are hectic they're not an attack on your senses.

This collection shows more of the 'luxury streetwear' feel Givenchy has become known for. The limited colour palette works well in each outfit, making it ready for many rap videos and hypebeast's instagram posts.

The coats and bomber jackets stood out the most for me. The heavy looking fits, and the numerous pockets on some of the pieces give an almost militant look, that looks extra sharp in an all black ensemble.

Peace and Blessings,

Andre

DRIES VAN NOTEN SS15

Cut-outs, neutral colours, varsity inspired prints and loose tailoring, Dries Van Noten moves away from the previous floral patterns into new territory.

Beige and neutral colours make for relaxed looks, emphasised by the loose, flowing fits. All the materials gave off similar movements, regardless of the fact their textures were so different.

The bright reds in this collection stood out, making more subtle outfits pop. The use of red matched beautifully with every outfit it was paired with.

The burgundy looks were another strong point, with the long t-shirt with the lettering print being my personal favourite.

The cut-outs and the white outfits made the collection a home run, with the cut-outs providing ample flexibility for layering.

Peace and Blessings,

Andre
