AW14 FUTURE FAVES

The end of Fashion Month calls for an in-depth reflection on the forthcoming styles.

Acne Studios
Acne Studios styling always has me drooling: distinctly Swedish, brave but contemporary cool. Textures, crops and attitude angled in luxe fabric with high-shine accents in patent shoes and jackets - can I get a tissue to wipe my dribble?

Haider Ackerman
Wool is undoubtedly an Autumn/Winter staple but something about the fluid long-line cuts at Haider Ackerman channels an effortlessness that I love. The successful execution of a completely straight silhouette on an right-angle-less form, that is the human body, is admirable.

Yohji Yamamoto
Cast practicality to the wayside and fulfil your hearts desires of stepping out of the house with your duvet: necessary. The resultant silhouette is unrivalled by anything else and as much as I would like to title the collection 'futuristic', it feels like Hip-Hop music videos of the early 2000s - think mo money mo problems and Busta Rhymes' woo hah, epic nonetheless.
