LFW: Preen s/s 2017 Review
Preen by Thornton Bregazzi gave an outstanding show, with their collection showing a range of bright beautiful colours mixed with the classic black and whites. This year for London fashion week they had a theme of flowers that seemed to have an influence in their pieces one way or another. This gave a sort of innocence to the clothing yet they were so revealing with the sheer lace/mesh fabrics.
Dresses were a big part of their collection this year, as were their dated look of classic trousers and a white blouse. They changed things up by adding a twist of frills to their pieces.

They have always been known for their vintage style and how they have used and incorporated lace or ruffles into most of their pieces. This year people were expecting just that and what was delivered was even bigger and better than what could have been imagined.

People were mesmerised by their magical dresses covered in glitters, pentagrams, stars and stunning flower patterned embroidery. Most of their pieces were made with chiffon fabrics to give that daring feel which people loved so much. This collection is said to be their best one yet and I would have to agree.

NYFW: Monse s/s 2017 Review 


Monse is the newest most anticipated designers to hit the runway at New York fashion week this year, upon making their first appearance in the public eye only a year ago. Their spring/summer 2017 collection this year took a twist mixing deconstructed business attire with fun and dazzling eveningwear. A lot of their materials were pinstriped silk blouses and trouser or bright sequined skirts and dresses, they were basic yet stylish and were a big statement on the runway. I liked their modern take on fabrics and designs as the simplicity in the way they looked were breath taking, this year and by the sounds of things they took everybody by surprise.
 
Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia glammed up the catwalk and took risks with off the shoulder and shape fitting clothing that originally were made to be covering. They said “We figured out that our woman wants to wear a blouse at night, and if it’s a dress, it’s going to be very subtle. So we kept the shirting that we’re about, and the stripes, but we did it for every price range and for every age, too.” After seeing the photographs from the Monse show I took the collection as a fresh new look that hasn't been done before, they explored the cocktail and black-tie dress code on a wider spectrum and it worked.
