HERVE LEGER BY MAX AZRIA S/S 2014 RUNWAY

The show began with a flurry of zippers, up the front, around the bodice; they also edged ruffles that were fashioned into peplums and godet skirts, resulting in a nice contrast to the feminine eyelet skirts that peeked out from underneath. The duo kept their colors subdued, which did no favors for the peek-a-boo crochet numbers that veered towards hoochie, but it did allow the beautiful beaded embellishments and knitting techniques to really shine.

MONIQUE LHUILLIER

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK S/S 2014

Red carpet hero Monique Lhuillier's Spring/Summer collection Catwalk.

This spring is about sheer elegance; I wanted it to feel light and stripped down,” said Monique Lhuillier at a preview of her collection. The first group out — organza looks in the lightest of pastels with metallic threading — was the most beautiful, the theme best demonstrated with a bandeau top, sleeveless top and matching midi skirt. Next came looks in lace; highlights here were the vibrant combos such as the long-sleeve shirt in a deep orange with detachable jewelled collar paired with a below-the-knee skirt in a rich red.
   

  











 






KATE SPADE S/S 2014

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK
Eternal summer: The presentation's backdrop was a luscious make-shift garden on the second floor of an industrial Manhattan building
Models stood in rows on bright green hedges, flanked by perfectly manicured lemon trees - a theme that drew many 'cute!' exclamations from the editorial set.
Full-skirts in heavy, shiny satin; digital watercolor prints reminiscent of Monet's garden in Giverny, and silver metallics punctuated the fun and feminine collection - a signature Kate Spade aesthetic that, to many brisk New Yorker's, is a cleansing anecdote to grunge.
