John Galliano SS’14 Collection

1,323 Replies

Brilliance and vibrancy resonate through John Galliano’s Spring 2014 collection.  Bright blocks of color-robin’s egg blue suits, shirts and slickers of neon orange-jump into the eyes and swim there, compelling us to follow the models long after they have vanished from the runway.  Elsewhere, pants and jackets are printed in dots large and small, patterns in their own way as loud as the colors that previously appeared.  Bill Gaytten’s new work possesses an immediacy, a call for us to live in the moment.

Key Looks: Dries Van Noten SS’14

775 Replies

Dries Van Noten takes us into a verdant garden for their Spring 2014 collection. The line is dominated by floral prints, bursts of petals and stems that look as fresh as new-cut blossoms. Not all of it is bursting with color, however; the collection makes strong use of blacks and whites, stark shades that only highlight the striking shapes of nature. The silhouettes are loose, with wide-cut pants and flowing coats in gossamer-thin fabrics. Where color does appear, it appears all at once, sudden bursts of kaleidoscopic hues that dazzle the senses. Dries Van Noten swings between severe and lush, inviting us to consider both the inimitable joys of Spring and the season’s fleeting nature.
