NYFW: Michael Bastian’s Japan-inspired Collection For F/W 2014
Another New York Fashion Week season is among us, and it’s off to a fantastic start with Michael Bastian’s fall/winter 2014 presentation on Tuesday at the Rubin Museum of Art. Inspired by trips to Japan, Bastian’s collection ranged from casual to formal evening wear with different pieces and accessories made with kimono fabric (used in scarves, windbreakers and a kimono itself), or with ethnic and artful embroidery—such as a ‘Samurai armor’ fair isle turtleneck sweater, a track jacket with Mt Fuji on the back and a Godzilla cashmere sweater (which everyone will need right away).

Paul Smith’s Bohemian Collection At Paris Fashion Week FW14
Taking inspiration the “effortless style and hazy psychedelia” of Jim Morrison, Paul Smith’s fall/winter 2014 collection shows casual luxury at its finest. The core of the styles featured bohemian textile art and tapestry on jackets, scarves, suede ponchos and cashmere sweaters in a range of navy, camel, orange and burgundy.
Music symbol covered sweatshirts, jackets and sweaters we also part of the collection, and solid loose trousers, leather pants, oversized jackets and bags, and shirts with exaggerated lapels and sequin panels filled out the rest of the looks. For the shoes, the printed chukka boots and sneakers had to be my favorite:

Y-3’s Superhero Inspired Debut At Paris Fashion Week
Making Y-3’s Paris Fashion Week debut, Yohji Yamamoto presented the adidas collaboration’s fall/winter 2014/2015 collection in Couvent des Cordeliers. Yamamoto explained that he wanted to pay homage to the couturiers of the 60’s and infuse their spirit into the collection, and was also thinking clothing superheroes wear. He brought these two worlds together for his collection, “cut for an active and fighting life style”.
Bold primaries such as red, yellow and cobalt blue are mixed with black and army green in the sport-chic collection for both men and women, and it was presented in a black and white setting with a neon light backdrop as the models walked the runway to superhero music themes.

MFW: The Bad Boys Of DSquared2 AW14
Closing out the men’s fashion shows in Milan on Tuesday, DSquared2 designers Dean and Dan Caten most likely took inspiration from Chicago‘s ”Cell Block Tango” and “Orange Is The New Black” as they transformed the catwalk into “Caten’s Penitentary”. Putting on a memorable show, the autumn/winter 2014 presentation began with a spotlight following a model dragged off in a straitjacket to the holding cells, where we see some of the prison-chic models.
The fall collection features bomber jackets, relaxed denim, worker boots, padded orange vests, leather jackets, and even a straightjacket-styled denim jacket.

MFW: Fierce, Glam Fashion From Versace AW14
As Milan Fashion Week comes to an end today, one of my favorites this season had to be the fierce, glam fashion cowboy/bikers from Versace’ upcoming autumn/winter collection.
As written for NewNowNext: “Our cowboy is macho, he’s a biker … he doesn’t have a horse,” Donatella Versace told the AP backstage. She sent models in fitted suits decorated with rhinestone horseshoes and cactus plants down the catwalk, as well as fur motorcycle jackets, silk shirts with “Western Cowboy” on the back, and bandana-print underwear paired with leather chaps.

MFW: Fierce, Glam Fashion From John Varvatos AW14
As Milan Fashion Week comes to an end today, one of my favorites this season had to be the fierce, glam fashion rockstars from John Varvatos’ upcoming autumn/winter collection.
As written for NewNowNext: Known for his rock-and-roll aesthetic, John Varvatos took inspiration for his autumn/winter collection from legendary rockers KISS, who also made a surprise appearance on the runway. The show featured models in KISS makeup, plus tight leather jackets, statement coats, slim suits and leather boots. “[John’s clothes] have all those elements that I love in clothes, which are timeless,” said KISS’ Paul Stanley. “There is a style that goes back to some of the great rock ‘n’ roll bands of the 60s.”

MFW: Fierce, Glam Fashion From Dolce & Gabbana AW14
As Milan Fashion Week comes to an end today, one of my favorites this season had to be the fierce, glam fashion knights from Dolce & Gabbana’s upcoming medieval-inspired autumn/winter collection.
As written for NewNowNext: “The Norman period in Sicily is fascinating,” Domenico Dolce told The Telegraph, “It was the first time that the people from the extreme North of Europe fought their way down to the South.” D&G’s Fall 2014 collection featured chain-mail-inspired balaclavas, sheepskin sweaters with studded Gothic crosses, and plenty of prints of ancient Norman kings. I guess Domenico is also a fan of Game of Thrones.
