Jason Wu
Wu dabbled in a number of fabrics and textures for his SS line-up including silk, tweed, faille and feathers. What ensued were 38 pretty pieces, the majority of which were delightful mini dresses in a range of different shapes and styles. In stark contrast to Wasson's casual cool collection, Wu wove together a masterpiece of quirky cocktail creations perfect for a balmy spring night out.
Charlotte Ronson
A multitude of different styles were seen in Charlotte Ronson's collection this season; laid-back casual, pleasantly preppy, and sleek sophistication all in one! I'm not too sure about the sheer bunched-knee leggings (casual+sophistication=?), but I did enjoy the array of spring jackets from light trenches to blazers to military-style bombers. Who says spring has to be sleeveless?
Cynthia Rowley
Structured shorts, blurred florals and pops of colour dominated Cynthia Rowland's show. (The pastel coloured floral dress is slightly reminiscent of last seasons Moschino Cheap and Chick floral dress, no? They have a similar pattern but minus the beautiful silver detailing). I'm a big fan of bows so props for the drapey bow ties and big bow ribbon peep toes! Overall a very cute collection.
Preen
A smorgasbord of textures at Preen with wispy silks, delicate lace, crisp cotton and a material that resembled sea coral. Surprisingly, the coral-like pieces are the ones I liked the most, the dresses appearing to be more closely related to architecture than something to be worn on the body. Fluffy shoulder pads and angular cut-out dresses came in at a close second. In between the monochonic tones, blush and cream hues added a more soft, girly touch to the collection.
