The Best of Fall 2013 Ready to Wear

The glamour and fantasy of Couture is beautiful, but I have always loved Ready to Wear most of all. Something about seeing the impeccably styled models prance down the catwalk sends my imagination into overdrive. I can't wait to try out the trends on myself! Here are some of my favourites from this season:

Isabel Marant

Usually her looks are much more eclectic (re: Elvis in Hawaii from past years!) but this year Marant kept it simple. Her mix of black, white and navy was classy with an edge. Easy to layer shade jackets, colour blocked leggings and architectural blouses are definitely on my must have list now!

Christopher Kane

Christopher Kane mixed classy with almost tacky in the best way this season. Navy fox fur trimmed coats were contradicted with blue and red camo print skirts. Art Nouveau designs were also included with a frazzled spiky finish. Kane said his inspiration was from a human brain and I think his collection was definitely a brain wave!

Chanel

More blues at Chanel! The coats in Lagerfeld's latest were the highlight for me. The detailed tucks and the original pockets had me wishing I could afford a Chanel coat.. Maybe a good thrift store diy?

Prada

Muiccia Prada described this collection as a 'mix of rich and poor'. The gorgeous thirties inspired suiting was styled in a beautifully undone way and the thick soled shoes were a welcome contrast to the delicate heels seen in the other shoes. I will absolutely be channeling thirties glamour in the coming fall with tweed, cat eye sunnies and pattern bags.
