Focus on Fall Fashion

Fall trends of this year are gradually being unveiled along with the major fashion shows in New York, London and Paris. Essentially ready-to-wear or extravagantly out of this world, this Fall season pieces have it both ways. Fleecy shearling and cozy knits are still the essential elements of most of the designers’ masterpieces. The most resonant ideas included sixties silhouettes and stunning evening gowns. However, there are some new style waves with inspiration from the searing color combinations and bold prints of an Ibiza heat wave. Let’s overview this Fall’s most worthy gearing up elements.

This season, designers cozied up to cuddly shearling. But of course Fall wouldn’t be Fall without furs. Miuccia Prada's color-blocked coats were definitely the highlights of this fur world on the runways and summed up everything for the shearling direction. Joseph Altuzarra’s wrap coat ushered in vibrant pink and green as the main bright color combination of the season, an inspiration that gained momentum at Dior and Balenciaga shows in Paris. Has there been a season in which knitwear claimed more runway real estate than Fall '14? Trust us, these weren't your run-of-the-mill sweaters. Michael Kors whipped up fisherman's cardigans with matching nubby scarves; and Phoebe Philo accessorized Céline's ribbed looks with luxe mink muffs. We believe the worldwide celebration of electronic dance music. This heat finally starts influencing our fashion world. Marc by Marc Jacobs revved our engines with BMX-inspired graphics; Dries Van Noten mashed up trippy, op art motifs; and the Kenzo and Proenza Schouler teams featured frenetic patterns. Normcore is more than a buzzy meme. Hugo Boss, Christopher Kane, Max Mara, Hermès all embraced the concept of standing out by blending in. When it comes to red-carpet fare, designers including Nina Ricci's Peter Copping, Mary Katrantzou, and Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci spiced things up with long dresses that were subtly sheer. They almost looked like tattoos on the body.

London Fashion Week Streetstyle

London Fashion Week is the perfect opportunity to get some outfit inspiration. Hundreds of bloggers and fashionistas flock to Somerset house; some to watch the shows, and some just to get papped - but we sure love the eye candy, and there's plenty to FindSimilar! Here are some of our favourite looks.

We used FindSimilar to create a wishlist from the styles we spotted!

The Fast Fashion Trend - We're Lovin' It!

When we heard that Jeremy Scott - the king of sartorial pop culture known for his garish loud designers had been named head designer at Moschino, we knew he was bound to create a colourful crazy collection for his debut at Moschino, but he wowed us all when he sent this fast food inspired collection down the runway at Milan Fashion Week.

McDonalds, Spongebob Squarepants and Hershey's chocolate were all counted as inspiration for the collection, with junk food references mixed with classic Moschino styling.

Fashion bloggers and street style fashionistas were quick to snap up the reconstructed McDonalds/Moschino M (which apparently is just about legal without stealing Mcdonalds trademark!) but will this be a fad, or will we be seeing fast food references cropping up on the high street?

As for us, we'll be sticking to the cute fast food references via accessories, such as this super cute handmade Fast Food bracelet:

You can purchase the Fast Food bracelet as well as other candy and junk food inspired jewellery from my website: www.fictionjewellery.co.uk

So if you love the idea of the Junk Food trend but can't see yourself dressing head to toe in McDonalds uniform, then do check out the Pick n Mix section on the Fiction Jewellery website for bracelets, necklaces, earrings and more all inspired by your favourite sweet treats!

So our verdict for Moschino AW14? Ba ba ba ba baaa, I'm loving it!
