London Spring 2013: Christopher Kane, Erdem, Burberry Prorsum

Antartika Raya

(LONDON) Christopher Kane
Christopher Kane took the pages of a thick book favorite child, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, for Spring. But do not expect a darker design sinfully Fall la 2012. This season, Kane spins a lush dreamscape focuses on the nuts and bolts of the story of the 19th century. On a more literal note, tonal white skirt suit and apron are nimble pinned and folded with plastic nuts and bolts, often repeated in platform peep-toe sandals. Standout come in the form of opening up the twin white padded jacket with matching pencil skirt. Then, kill the transparent pink skirt and yellow fondant followed, all filled with a small bow jelly and topped with a screenprinted tee monster. Black tape, tagging sheer sherbet-colored dress, was a touch too conceptual for some, but it works well when applied to the shaded white and yellow tulle gown, complete with lace applique and Diamonte. All in all, Kane created a very captivating narrative decadent from start to finish.

Erdem
Erdem Moralioglu presented a delightful treat this afternoon at the dreamy dome tent in the middle of London, Manchester Square Gardens. On the menu? Ultra-femme lace skirt embroidered with plastic subdued or scattered with floral designer familiar. Moralioglu indulge his craving for color this season in a surprising splash of neon orange, lemon, and cherry shoots against Carolina blue lace on everything from tulip-rounded halter dresses to pants combo ruffle-necked top 'n' nod to the sixties. And for the chef d'oeuvre? Patchworked snake sheathing with towering, matchy-matchy Maryjanes.

Burberry Prorsum
Although the stock market hiccups last week, Burberry Prorsum out on top this time thanks to an abundance of thick, colored candy coat the figure-hugging cocktail dresses and metallic bodysuits. To start, the retractable roof was opened in Hyde Park, shining light on a group of mods Burberry trench galloping in every variety known to man: ink blue cape trench, ditch copper and pink corset, lace trench moss and colorful foil cut trench cape. Take your pick, darlings! For added shape, Christopher Bailey mixed in cut, color-blocked bomber with rounded shoulders and a very noble berries, cotton sateen coat double cocoons. Takeaway: One more. As for accessories, it's all about the wallet "Blaze" for spring, full of the spirit of mash-up between a doctor's bag and gym bag teeny tiny. They, of course, will be available in a rainbow of hues to accent your new trench-a-day regime. Color us happy!
