BCBG Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

My love affair of all things BCBG started when I was in high school. I longed for the life that would grant me the opportunities to wear Max Azria’s clothes. For my senior prom I bought my first BCBG piece. A black and blue dress with sequins and beads sewn into starburst patterns. It was magical. I still have it and even though it’s been over 10 years since I wore it, I can still fit into it. Therefore, I shall keep it.

Back to the Spring collection. Its just as lovely as my senior prom dress: watercolor prints and washed out neutrals. It’s the epitome of city sophisticate. It’s all very effortlessly chic and hassle-free glam.

LAMB Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

Continuing in the punky, Cali cool aesthetic, L.A.M.B.’s Spring collection makes me want to perm my hair, brush it out and buy a bunch of dayglo sunglasses. It’s grown up grunge and polished punk at it’s best. That blue pants suit? Yea, that would look great on me. And don’t even get me started on the shoes…I wants it all.

Richard Chai Love Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

This collection reminds me of the early nineties for some reason. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s full on nostalgia happening. Anyway, this show featured sharp middle of the head parts, somber expressions, and leather jackets everywhere. The fit ranges from close to body and tailored to loose and boxy. I loved the leather moto jackets and crop top/maxi skirt sets. Other than that, I feel like I’ve been there and done that.

Tracy Reese Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

I’ve always loved Tracy Reese. Her designs are extremely flattering, stylish, and mercifully accommodating to those with ample hips. This Spring 2014 Ready To Wear collection was no different. From the tattoos strategically placed on the model to the lace up sandals they sported on their feet, it was a win win all around.

Gary Graham Spring 2014 RTW

This collection encompasses ethereal gothic. I totally just made that up, but it’s fitting, no? The gauzy film of the dresses and shirts looks like they will float away. They’re only anchored by the embellishment of the embroidery and the structure of the pants and jackets. Everything about this collection screams smart and classy. Pair any one of these outfits with your best “I know I look good. Don’t hate.” face and strut down the street.

Erin Fetherston Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

If you’re 16 years old and looking for a junior prom dress, this is the collection for you. If you’re a high school student of indeterminate age and you’re looking for a dress to wear to whatever high school dance functions you kids have now-a-days, this is the collection for you. Anyone else: this is not the collection for you. Was this part of a reject reel from Crazy/Beautiful? I. Can’t. Even.

The website has some awesome, grown up dresses on it, but this Spring collection is something I outgrew when I turned 17. Thanksbutnothanks.

Creatures of the Wind Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

This collection reminded me of the clothes you find at thrift stores and you kind of like them, but are not sure whether or not you can pull it off or if you even want to pull it off. It’s the kind of collection that has all the clothes that the “we’re too cool to even want to be cool” kids wear. Meh, I’ll take a classic pencil skirt or floral Zac Posen dress any day over this, but that’s just me.

Robert Rodriguez Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

What’s not to love about Robert Rodriguez? He makes women look hot and sexy. I don’t think anything else needs to be said. This collection had a futuristic look with a lot of hard angles, exaggerated silhouettes, and minimal color. It’s not the most vibrant Spring collection, but it doesn’t have to be.

ZAC Zac Posen 2014 Spring RTW

Posted on by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

After looking through the Zac Posen Spring collection, I immediately felt like I had just gotten back from 1940s Cuba. The silhouettes are womanly and grown up. The model is drop dead gorgeous and her Veronica Lake curls are perfect. I want to know who did the make up for this photo shoot, because it is amazing. I want to purchase it all. I will gladly trade my Jeep Liberty for this collection in its entirety. Serious inquiries only.
