As I watched Mary Katrantzou’s show for Spring/Summer 2013, I couldn’t help but think of postage stamp edging and jigsaw puzzles. She has some wonderful symmetrical patterns within her fabrics. Dresses and trousers often floated out to create an A-line shape. The top halves of the outfits were very modest, generous in cut and high necked in most cases, except for the occasional strapless number. Most dresses also covered the knees. A couple of metallic offerings, including a trouser suit, stood out from the attractive creamy, pastels and black collection.

New York Fashion Week: Alexander Wang – Spring Summer 2013
9 SepWell New York Fashion Week is with us again and I’ve been looking out for exciting shows for Spring Summer 2013 to rave about on Cherrydial. Well Alexander Wang didn’t disappoint me.
Though boxy shapes are not for me, Wang delivered an outstanding collection that had me looking for the joins in the fabric. Be it leg wear, dresses, skirts or jackets, the clever display of strips of skin in between cloth with barely any connections visible was compelling. Showing with a mainly monochrome colour theme, Wang kept the summer shades simple but the feel very futuristic. Some of the fabric changed colour in different lighting. The dresses, skirts and jackets all had a sleek but ladylike feel. Take a look for something a little different.
