Spring is here—and nothing says warm weather dressing like colour and prints. Jonathan Saunders would agree. As the first ever chief creative officer at Diane von Furstenberg (he took the helm in 2016), the designer’s signature print mixing is a perfect fit with the storied brand. “Diane has an incredible heritage for print and colour […]

Over the past five years, we’ve witnessed Shailene Woodley seamlessly transition from a teen drama actress into a full-fledged A-lister. The 25-year-old Divergent actress is known for her laid-back vibe (re: that Isabel Marant get-up at Comic-Con), however, as of late she’s been racking up incredible red carpet marks in looks by Elie Saab, Fendi, and Alexander […]

We all know when it comes to sports, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are big fans, so it’s always nice to see the royal duo come out and support British athletes and sporting events hosted by the United Kingdom. Plus, it gives us an excuse to talk about all things Kate Middleton. This past Saturday, Kate joined Prince William and Prince Harry to kick off the launch of the Tour de France at Harewood House in Leeds. Quite the treat for the competing 22 teams, the royal trio greeted and waved off the anxious riders as they embarked on their 2, 272 mile four-country race that starts off in Leeds and finishes off in Paris. For the day’s event, the Duchess chose a bright green wool coat by Erdem from the Pre-Fall 2014 collection, which we last saw on her during the royal tour Down Under when the Cambridges visited Cambridge. The knee-length tailored coat was worn over a similar hue printed silk dress by Suzannah. Although it was hidden this time, knowing Kate, she’ll recycle this dress in no time. Allowing her coat to be the statement piece, she teamed it with a neutral-coloured clutch by L.K. Bennett and matching patent pumps by the same designer and added a pair of emerald earrings that coordinated accordingly to her outfit, as usual.

See all 5 of Kate’s looks from the weekend »

It was a very busy weekend for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge—but busy is always welcome for those of us obsessed with the royals, especially when you consider that Kate Middleton had 5 outfit changes! We have photos of every single look in our massive Kate Middleton style gallery, but here’s a rundown of what the royals got up to in New Zealand.

On Saturday, the Cambridges went to Cambridge! The couple toured the town and met with locals who lined the streets. Kate debuted a new coat by Erdem—a bright green, knee-length coat with front zip from the Pre-Fall 2013 collection. She paired it with a floral print tea dress by Suzannah, though only the hemline was visible. Knowing Kate, we’ll likely see this dress in full at some point in the future. Since when doesn’t she wear an item more than once?

Burberry Prorsum Fall 2014

Trend: Couturified

Luxe is one word that comes to mind for Fall 2014 at London Fashion Week.
This season, there has been an overwhelming use of lush fabrics, unexpected technique and a new level of intricacy in almost every collection. Decorative art was the theme at Burberry Prorsum, where Christopher Bailey took his well known aesthetic to the next level by hand painting pieces and personalizing accessories for each model on the runway (their initials were on each of the finale ponchos). Both John Rocha and Simone Rocha used sculpture and laser cuts in their pieces.

Mary Katrantzou showed mindblowing Greek-inspired dresses that looked as though been delicately assembled together by string. Jonathan Saunders and Roksanda Ilincic also had 3D dresses made up of laser cutouts almost resembling layered leaves, while Erdem‘s collection had numerous dresses that look like they were constructed from a reinterpreted lace-like fabric. Christopher Kane finished his show with a grouping of ethereal mega-folded organza dresses that caused a gasp in the room when the first one came out. To boot, many designers opted to use multiple techniques in one garment creating unbelievable visual impact.

Peter Pilotto Fall 2014

Trend: Embellishment

This is another trend we have really seen over the last few seasons and it’s not going anywhere. In fact, it just keeps getting bigger and bolder. Nearly every major collection this week had some form of bling to it. At Mary Katrantzou, pieces were so intricately and cleverly embellished that they looked like big colourful embroidered badges. Christopher Kane, Roksanda Ilincic and Peter Pilotto also seem to have committed themselves to this growing trend in their Fall 2014 collections. All three of these influencers cleverly used some form of appliqués (beading, embroideries or sequins) to add a textural element to an already interesting silhouette.

Tom Ford Fall 2014

Trend: Colour

Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto and Burberry all showed bold and colourful pieces in their collections, breathing new life into familiar shapes. Christopher Kane also followed suit, using neon yellow and pastel pink throughout, while Tom Ford used red as an accent colour to a mostly black collection.

Topshop Unique Fall 2014

Trend: Slouchy pants

Whether cropped or full length, nearly every collection had a version of a men’s style slouchy pant. Often paired with a loafer or flat there is something sexy about this silhouette (although I can bet that nearly every man would argue otherwise). Pringle of Scotland, Topshop and Paul Smith all had their own versions but I have to say the cropped ones were amongst my favourites.

Jonathan Saunders Fall 2014 Shoes

Trend: The Pointy shoe

Ladies, pull those pointy pumps back out because Fall 2014 looks like a pump-plenty season. Notice how shoes are often modified every season—just enough to make you feel like you need to buy new ones? Well I have to say the classic, regular, traditional, pointy, basic stiletto looks like it has made a strong comeback. Pringle of Scotland, Jonathan Saunders and Marios Schwab all featured their own take on a basic pointy pump. And for those who favour things more down to earth, we spotted pointy flats on the Fall 2014 runways as well, which were often the product of a collaboration with British designer Nicholas Kirkwood.
