Tom Ford Fall 2013 RTW London Fashion Week

As a former New Yorker, (It's forever in our blood.) I love NYFW, but London usually comes out on top with some of the best collections...in my opinion, of course. This RTW collection from Tom Ford was over-the-top and full of energy. The rich colors and vibrant patterns paired with intricately laced gowns, furs, and luxurious bead-work, made for a decadent, but modern collection. The bright colored florals, tribal prints, and leather poncho's, were quite reminiscent of traditional South American fashion, which I love. The show as a whole, felt like a glamorous display of dress-up clothes better suited for an exhibit at the MOMA, than a person's closet. And that is not a bad thing!

Etro Fall 2013 Menswear

Panta rei: Everything Flows. This was the theme of Kean Etro's latest fall collection, which would seem to be the goal of any collection, right? Genghis Kean served as the main source of inspiration, and there is certainly a barbaric undercurrent that shows through each piece. The dreadlocks and heavy, tapestry-like fabrics in deep shades of red, orange, and blue, made for a very dramatic collection. If Brendan Frasier's character in Encino Man were to become quite rich, I would imagine him wearing clothes such as these!
