Runway to reality, Unique


From the great Topshop Unique show, which I would rank as one of my favorite presentations at fashion week. A favorite because of the wearability and the 'runway to reality' approach that newly recruited creative director Kate Phelan stated as an aim for the collection. The military, masculine, Burberry meets Wang reference put a simile on my face and gave me a serious acquisition urge. Neutral colors, oversized shirts and blanket like skirts, hell this collection has 5 inch and up written all over it. Suddenly another chilly autumn does not seems so bad, even at this time of the year.

I usually don't like neutral colours, but what topshop have done with them is fantastic! love how the clothes just hang off the models' bodies.
