Erdem's collection was very dark this season with occasional bursts of colour through plums, lilacs and dark purples. The harsh colours however are romanticized through the use of lace and by feathering sheer materials revealing more skin. The use of fabric gave Erdem's collection heaps of personality with its bold statements.
Antonio Berardi's collection was by far my favourite as many of his pieces could be worn on a night out or a special occasion without being too out-landerish and extreme. The two puffed sleeved dresses in red and white below are a prime example of this. I felt Antonio's collection was simplistic with either print, pattern of texture of the material being the focal point, creating a unique feel to each outfit.
Lastly another collection that caught my eye was Marios Schwab. Another collection that was inspired by dark, more neutral based colours. Much like Erdem, there is a heavy use-age of sheer material with some lace pieces. Very reflective of the baroque trend from late last year, in its under-layering for skirts accompanied by delicate dress skirts with constructed thicker layer underneath.
