NWFW AW12/13... Diffusions

Last season one well known editor sat down at the Marc Jacobs show and said 'lets see what we'll be wearing next season then!' Such is the way Marc Jacobs has informed trend over the past years. I'm not sure if that will be taken literally this season but what drama and creativity! Something we see less and less on the catwalks... economic downturn blah, blah, blah felt so refreshing to be woken up by this show, to have our ideas of what is beautiful challenged, I really haven't stopped thinking about this show since it came out....

Fabrications, proportion and print... amazing. The collection I have found hardest to edit.

The came his diffusion collection, Marc by Marc Jacobs. Although these two collections tend not to be related this season they couldn't be more worlds apart, from the fantastical eccentric world of the main line to the easy, desirable world of her little sister, Marc!

Just love the geek chic, lazer cut velvet and metallic jaquards add a touch of understated glam!

So from one of the masters to a relative newbie to fashion.... Victoria Beckham.... yes I know I can't believe I'm bogging about a former spice girl either. Much as it pains me to say both her ranges, mainline and the second season of Victoria by Victoria Beckham are really great collections. From the structured almost military lines of the mainline range to the quirky prints and easy daywear of her diffusion range these are a couple of collections of fab frocks with cleaver and at times witty attention to detail... feels good to finally have got that off my chest, feels almost cathartic, like I'm in some kind of self help group!
