London Fashion Week: Dusty Rose & Sheer Fabrics

With the conclusion of London Fashion Week, there were a number of trends showcased for Spring / Summer 2014, from dusty rose hues to sheer fabrics and some interesting takes on the iconic little black dress. In any form of art and design, the artists work is an extension of their soul and we saw some amazing examples of this displayed by the designers at this years events. They get their inspiration from a variety of obscure and abstract places and to it all come to life is truly beautiful. There are simply too many notable trends to list them all but this a collection of a few of the ones I personally loved.

Dusty rose hues were a huge part of the catwalk which can be seen in collections from Zoe Jordan, Antipodium, Jean-Pierre Braganza and Burberry Prorsum, to name a few. 

Sheer fabrics had their fare share of attention on the runway as well and were done in a variety of ways from completely sheer tops, to more subtle accents such as sheer sleeves, leggings and skirts as shown above. This can be a tricky one to pull off but I thought the above designers were able to create styles that were ready-to-wear and not overly exposing.

Not one of the main trends but still one of my favourite looks were these elegant white dresses with cut-outs in some unexpected places. Of these three, I personally thought that OSMAN did a great job with showcasing a clean-cut look with geometrical lines.

Finally, no fashion week isn't complete without a unique spin on the iconic little black dress, originated by none other than Coco Chanel dating back to the 1920's. From elaborate designs to more conventional takes on the dress, we saw a huge variance amongst the designers but all expressing some unity in terms of sexiness and class.
