What a refreshing change after NY collections and now almost
over with London. Mr. Conran takes a
much needed less is more approach for a good part of the collection and it is a
welcomed sight to say the least.
Mr. Conran’s vision for fall 2013 is certainly not the dead
and dreary black of collections already shown, but here we are bombarded with
color in a most appealing way. The
clothes are beautifully simple and soft which makes for an unbelievable foil
for the over wrought and over designed collections that have paraded catwalks
for weeks now. There is a distinctly
60’s vibe and a healthy shot of Cardin and Courreges which takes the collection
to a decidedly more care free time.
Remember this was also the era of the youth quake!
Despite or because of this, the clothes take on a “retro
ish” feel but that would only be for those who remember the 60’s and well, for
the rest, they will find clothes to wear rather than just admire or gawk at.
Did I mention that the clothes are easy fitting and still would never be
confused with slouchy or sack like. I
am especially fond of the neon brights and the “disc/petal” pieces at the end
of the show.
And I would be remiss if I
didn’t take note of the fact that Mr. Conran used hose as an accessory … pet
peeve you know!
And one more time, I will say this... Designers design!
