Suit Up at Vanessa Bruno

I currently have a complete infatuation with France and everything French! This is all really down to my complete and utter adoration for the language, the country and furthermore the fashion, or 'la mode'! So, the other day I was having a wee look at Vanessa Bruno, a Parisian fashion designer (if you're not familiar with her work you really need to sort yourself out!) and I decided to have a little study sesh of her A/W 13 collection. It's fair to say I love masculine dress for women so I was delighted when her first model strutted out on the catwalk in a pin stripe trouser suit! The collection initiates with several different masculine styles all consisting of regular and oversized suit jackets (love that extra size), tapered and wide leg trousers and shirts and blouses, most of which featuring a stripe down the centre, almost giving the illusion of a slim line tie. The collection progresses into a more feminine look featuring skirts and dresses most of which boasting great attention to detail with circular cuts on hems and sequin embellishment. However, most of these styles are teamed with an oversize suit jacket or alternatively a heavier coat still taking masculine form, to contrast the two looks. - C'est super! Vanessa Bruno portrays a very simple yet elegant colour scheme, the main focus being on black, white and grey, further emphasizing the beauty of this collection with regards to simplicity. Towards the end of the collection, the garments begin to portray elements of the 1920s with aspects appearing to be influenced by the flapper era. This is shown through dropped hemlines and shift dresses, however this is all twisted into modern day fashion, in effect creating a fab vintage/modern collaboration. And what's more? Miss Cara Delevingne ends the show in a stunning, sequin embellished, white shift dress! ALL HAIL QUEEN DELEVINGNE.
