End this Trend

I would like to propose that the very current trend of wearing a sheer skirt/pant end now.  The transparent top layer trend is problematic for a few reasons.  for starters it usually employs a fairly safe silhouette or uninspired style lines, yet comes across as new and different due to it's 'sheer' shock value. Do not let this fool you, this is a design crutch holding up unresolved design decisions.  Working with translucent fabrics offers great opportunity to play with negative space,  line, and depth.  However, simply layering one on top of designer undies does not accomplish this.

Satu Maaranen SP14

Satu Maaranen is a 2012 MFA graduate of Aalto University School of Art in Helsinki. Really nice sense of scale, plus her colors are spot on.

Maria Cornejo

Maria Cornejo is often on my 'fantasy if you could afford this' list of designers I covet.  For her Spring'14 show she's got a nod towards uniforms,  a love of notched collars, and digital prints since they are probably the most exciting trend in fashion this decade.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Boxy Tops

Hurray for boxy tops!  The opposite of the waist defining peplum tops!  As you can see, I have a preference.  While the peplum top has been rampant since last season, there has been a counter silhouette in the boxy top, naturally these tops also compliment the peg leg trouser and other fashions for those of you avoiding that area between your neck and knees.   Long live the boxy top!

Catherine Melandrino and Kohls Collaboration

In the most recent collaboration Kohls has paired up with Catherine Melandrino for a 56 piece collection.  I've highlighted the strongest designs here, there's a 'beat you over the head' obvious french theme, which you may not have picked up on since I have edited out all the sweaters with pics of the Eiffel Tower on them, you can still see them here.

Nellie Partow's Fall 2013 is a fabulous mix or fabrics and clean lines.  I'm partial to the brown jacket (with fuschia pants) myself, such great lapels.
