The Stella McCartney ss2014 collection is one of understated seduction. It came in two variations, both reliant on degrees of transparency.

Phoebe Philo said goodbye to minimalism yesterday with a collection that burst with power, flamboyant color, tribal adornments and artisanal elements.

Philo made it ultracool canada pharmacy and modern.
The color palette had that late-eighties feel of something primary, urgent, graphic.

In her comment after the show Philo told the press that her collection was about “power to women”.

Since working for Kenzo, designers Carol Lim and Humberto Leon cialis no prescription have been using the Kenzo Takada codes. This season they’ve used their personal history as a guide. Their talent is mixing styles, and this time they wove together sea motifs, surf culture, and references to L.A.’s underground music scene in the new collection.

The tailoring was ingenious in its own way, too, with back vents cut into jackets and dresses, as the designers said, to let the breeze in.
