E&J, Lang and Proenza



Elizabeth & James
Ok so I am desperately in love with this collection.  The copper tone (which btw is all over the catwalk) is so fresh for summer and in these light sheeny silks looks effortlessly cool.  I really like the turn to casual tailoring that's emerging too - with the cropped trouser being the best way to offset your summer sandals or transeasonal trainers, this is not the season for a heel.  Be Smart, think casual!



Helmut Lang
As you can see by the looks I've picked out I seem to be having  a box jacket moment! Again the copper/orange tones and the oriental high shine prints we saw at Proenza last year make a return to the fore.  What draws me to these looks is the effortlessness, the air of nonchalance!  
One thing's for sure people will stand up and take notice of these seperates, even if you appear not to care at all!  


Proenza Schouler
Ahh Proenza you've done it again! Snakeskin makes an appearance at this show as it has at Erdem in London this season and again the shapes are boxy and oversized.  I love the element of grunge here.  The perforated leathers adding a sporty feel whilst red and black check, knee high black leather boots and panels of black lace lendit a punky edge.  ( Psssst - Watch out for the Hologram PS11 coming to stores just before Crimbo - it's sure to prepare you for S/S 13)

Stay tuned for my London picks coming soon.
