Xtra Large: Topman Design Fall 2014--London Menswear Fashion Week Fall 2014

Fall 2014 Menswear Fashion Week has begun and first up it's London...Let's start with Topman Design:

The Look: Punk-meets-dockyard working boys, fisherman knits, lots of rain and dreary weather ahead in Fall 2014 so...get ready--style wise--for it, if Topman design director Gordon Richardson has his way. I love Topman and well, half my closet is from there. With that said, not sure how I would incorporate--or wear--any of these items--but then again, I may not be the "market". And yes, I'm sure at the store, these items will get re-merchandized and look a tad bit different and at the same time, there will be lots of other garments to keep a loyal customer (me) happy.

Colors: Black, navy, baby blue, tomato red

Trends: Oversized coats, jackets, high-waisted pleated pants a la 1940's, chunky footwear, heavy knitwear/sweaters

THE Shoe and Sandal of the Season: Prada Spring 2014

Here's what THE one-and-only Suzy Menkes said of the Prada Spring 2014 collection:

"Interesting the dresses were: colorful and extraordinary, illuminated
not just by the bold faces printed digitally over the lower body of a
wool or fur coat, but also smothered in sequins, especially rhinestone
brassieres built in at the bosoms."

"With the vivid green, red, yellow and blue colors; the knee-high, sporty
leg warmers; and sometimes colored feathers in the hair, the effect was
tribal. But there was also an unexpected feeling of the 1980s and those
Vivienne Westwood external bras inspired by African women."

Globe Dior

Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Fall 2013

The Look: For Raf Simons second prêt-à-porter Fall 2013 show, he showed his collection among big mirrored/steel-looking globes. He used Andy Warhol's early drawings as a motif for some of his dresses--portraits of women, sequined shoes, flower vases, could be seen in peplum tops and dresses. Strong graphic tendencies--which is a big trend for Spring 2013--are carried over for Fall here in black and white ensembles. Very Dior-like draping, "flaps" and askew folding took his Haute Couture Collection from early this year into a more toned-down ready-to-wear level--but without losing any of the Haute charm.
