Fashion // The best of New York Fashion Week SS15

September is more than just the start of autumn, it's also signifies the start of Fashion month - And it's that time of year when the hottest designers, editors, models and celebrities all descend onto the streets of New York to watch the catwalk shows and presentations that will give us that first glimpse of the trends to look out for come next spring. It's all very exciting and I can't wait to see what my favourite designers have in store over the next few weeks.

Haute Right Now // Couture Fashion Week S/S 2014 Favourites

My favourite week of the fashion calender has come and gone, I have a real soft spot for Couture Fashion Week, although I know it's completely unwearable and the chances of me getting even close to wearing some of these gowns and outfits is zero, I can't help but to be taken in by the complete fantasy world that these designers envision and daydream of ornate gowns encrusted with jewels and impossibly complex silhouettes that I find myself coveting. Couture Fashion Week is an escapism from every day fashion, you can't help but to anticipate every look that saunters down the catwalk knowing you could be shocked and captivated at any point, this makes Couture Fashion Week especially enthralling as you really do delve into the complete unknown. I suppose my head is in the clouds as even on the high street I find myself automatically drawn to beautifully bold and embellished pieces - that are often very impractical unless I was attending glitzy events, but I can't help but adoring these from afar and appreciating all the intricate details. Couture Fashion Week kicked off for a 5 day extravaganza of luxe fabrics, outlandish designs and statement pieces that everyone will be pinning and retweeting and I've brought together my favourite collections from this week of couture.

Haute Right Now // Part I

Couture Fashion Week has to be my favourite time in the fashion calendar, I could spend hours poring over all the pictures of the most beautiful and theatrical garments that shock and stir people's emotions. When I designed at college I would always look at the fashion juggernauts for inspiration  and I would always be drawn to the couture shows and my mind would be buzzing with creativity; excited to experiment and not be afraid to break the limits. I guess I'm a bit of a magpie, I love anything that shimmers and sparkles and excites my senses. Everyone loves a bit of drama and extravagance, couture is not realistic but it causes people to dream and fantasise. I couldn't wait to get some free time and start looking through the latest couture collections,  in particular Elie Saab's, which has been my favourite for the past few seasons.
