All hail the Irish! Irish designers were at full force at LFW. Day 2 of London Fashion Week saw Kiely and Anderson showcase their eagerly anticipated Spring/Summer 2014 collections. Orla Kiely is renowned for her 60s twist pieces and colourful patterns. This collection proved no different, only including a new decade to the scene. Kiely presented her SS14' collection at a London Gallery by creating her own little world in a safari-esque scene. The models flaunted their acting skills by casually playing with the props; cameras, cards, nets. The setting had a homely quality despite the unusually exotic setting, and the vintage props added to the ambiance.
The vibe oozed feminine and youthfulness with adorable cotton knee high socks and pink berets. The collection featured girly dresses with tan belts cinched at the waists, cute shirts and A line 50's skirts. The safari theme consisted of the usual colour palette of pastels, baize and khaki. However, the sandy platform was filled with zebra patterns, monochrome sets (YAY!), and bursts of orange zests and pinks enhanced the girly appeal. Casual t-shirts and prim buttoned up shirts were styled with full, wide skirts. Kiely never fails to incorporate colourful patterns and textures in an outlandish fashion!
This will be J.W Anderson's third year since his capsule women's collection. J.W's SS14 collection took a minimalistic approach in regards to colour options and deconstructed pieces, but hints of shiny fabrics were incorporated onto A Line skirts. However, the base of the outfit remained on a white canvas reflecting the minimalist mood of the entire collection. Monochrome isn't going anywhere! The show commenced with billowing sheer fabrics and tiered creations. This feminine approach was quickly followed by contrasting dismantled and tangled pieces, full length dresses with noticeable splits, and pleated leather combinations.
