THE EMANCIPATED STYLE GLAMAZONIANS BY SAINT LAURENT

It was all about the nocturnal glam! Lately, Saint Laurent house seems to be all in that particular part of the dressing orientation. The new Saint Laurent woman is strong, confident and she is the star of her quotidian life, no matter how dull the everyday routine seems to be. The leading fashion director of YSL, Anthony Vaccarello, has been creating the concept of the fearless feminine beauty that is consciously spicy and up-front. Yet, the ways of his aesthetic are far from the typical seductive notes. Nope! They are re-built almost on the ground of the interpretation of the masculinity fed with the strong glamorous accents that make every collection by Vaccarello the chicest of them all.

The secret is in the attitude, and Saint Laurent clothes have that, no doubt! The latest Fall 2019 Ready To Wear collection was all and even more! The strong-shouldered almost too wide blazers on the top of the short-shorter mini skirts or worn just with the polka dotted black socks. Simple as that! The simplicity comes not just in the mono-voluminous nature of the items but in the mostly black colored ensembles. The black color is the color of the elegance, of the night glamour, so the all-black-monochrome nature of Saint Laurent was in this collection on the peak too!

The strongest vibes were definitely in the mini dresses. The famous big bow alike feature was there accompanied with the glitz and glam embellishment textures. At Saint Laurent, everything is in the mission to boost up that glam, so the presence of the high chic materials is inevitable and a must! Even the YSL version of "Le Smoking" is everything but casual or business-wear friendly! The satin on a satin move could easily come for the perfect modern red carpet ensemble. This is how the elegance and glamour are so highly treated. Yet, everything looks so refined and in the impeccable mass of the class!

 That was the first part of the show. The second part was held under the ultraviolet, neon lights under which the garments in the same vibrant colors were presented. The play of the modern "chiaroscuro" with all black versus all vibrant shadows have given the clothes the totally nocturnal, clubbing kind of vibes. The one-shouldered dresses in the bright green, pink or yellow, or the feathery ones with the matchy-matchy stilettos have presented the ultimate Saturday-night party gear!

This collection has shown how the empowering of women goes without being pretentious! The secret was hidden in the out-spoken elegance, short dresses, strong shoulders. The modern urban Glamazonian is definitely the inspiration for Vaccarello design. But with the classic hints, he invites all women the stand up strong and be simply bold beautiful! And isn´t that the most stunning thing a fashion can do?!

THE NEO-GRUNGE ERA IN VERSACE

There can go more glamorous if you wear Versace! The Versace style and design politics with the high seductive notes have become the incorporated part of the label aesthetic. Yet, for the past few collections that glam was toned down and meshed up with the totally different kind of vibes. Seems like Versace is looking for some new style directions, and that has come pretty successfully if you ask Donatella Versace.

The latest Fall 2019 Ready To Wear collection was definitely far from the usual Versace codes. But the conscious approach that aspires the confidence in the Versace woman was definitely there. The grungy and edgy spirit of this collection was on the perfect match with the tweedy masculine and tomboy aspirations. Yet, these codes of the assertive femininity were broken with the accentuated bra-alike corsets on the top of the sleek long dresses. The tweedy textures were interrupted with the sexy satin shine, so this conglomerate of the fabrics mixture worked so extravagant and on the edge of the known Versace style codes.

One thing that was also very conglomerate alike were the colors. They looked vibrant but mixed with the deep blue and mustard chromatic solutions, the overall picture was serious but fresh and modern. Far from the classic more closer to the experimental horizons. Plus the effort if the light deconstruction or, to better say, unfinished tailorings, this has only undertoned the "Espiritu Diferente" of this whole collection!

That untold finish was on the sight on the last few ensembles, like the black dress that was worn by Gigi Hadid, for example, the asymmetric shoulders, the asymmetry in the form on the front with the deep cut just to remind us, yes here it goes about Versace! Some kind of new and fresh spirits, of course! Curious to see will this edgy, new story have the next chapter in the next collection!

NEW STYLE SPIRITS BY ERDEM

The house of Erdem is all about the vintage romanticism. With the story-telling and very picturesque juxtaposition, with the impeccable choice of the textures and so polished yet vibrant visuals, this fashion designer knows how to keep the aesthetic on point, with the promising decor and low-key glamour. This could be only a few of the style references and characteristics but the house of Erdem is even more than that. And that is why his, reasonable sky-rocket success is so stunning and keeps evolving.

The pure evolution of Erdem signature was on the sight in the latest Fall 2019 Ready To Wear collection. From light voluminous forms on the dresses as well as on the signature item of Erdem, the coats, the change was definitely embodied in the choice of the textures. In the previous collections, there were plenty of the embroideries with the heavy fabrics in the combination but this time the accents were on the more light materials as well as what is under the coat. Erdem is all about the refined beauty but this time seems like the level was higher, so there were few of the ensembles that could be set up on the more seductive side. The sleek silhouetted one, with the lace and the satin in the combination, boosted with the shiny embellishments. This only shows how Erdem has been oriented more on the nightwear lately, and on the more glamorous side of the style.

If in the previous collection everything was in the borders and the lines of the pure classic, in this collection the autumnal vision was more edgy and witty. The fringes midi coat with the signature sign of Erdem, the big bow on the front, is definitely the other kind of type the coat dressing that is more on the extravagant side of the style prism. The total dark side was delivered in the midi dresses, again, in the vivid shiny textures and colors and to boost up the grungy vibe with the black veil on the top of it all.

The dresses were in the center of the inspiration for Erdem in this collection. No more layers, just plain dresses shaped in the wider voluminous form giving the dress the extra spin. The extraordinary colors, not muted at all, but happy, vibrant and perky in the combination with the florals, have really given this collection some kind of new spirit. The big ruffles for the special accentuation of the breezy sculpted form were definitely the new side in the design of Erdem.

Stepping on the fresh side of the aesthetic this collection was really a presentation of the new kind of spirits in Erdem. In the forms, textures and in the general spirit, this collection was offered some other kind of the romanticism, non-pretentious, gorgeous and beautiful!
