Korean designer, Son Jung Wan debuted her spring/summer 2013 during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. This whimsical collection is filled with canary yellows, raspberry, sunset ombre, violets and teals for the bold and the brave. But she hasn’t forgotten those who like more subtleties, so her collection also features silver, grey, and ivory. Son Jung Wan keeps peplum and pleats alive next spring as well. From asymmetrical dresses, jumpsuits, and rompers these styles are instantly updated with her use of textures like sequin dresses, ruffle dresses, perforated shorts, and appliqué jackets. This collection features vibrant colors and prints along with modern twists to traditional pieces. Here are a few pictures from the collection

Katya Leonovich’s Fall 2012 collection shows that she definitely loves New York. The greatest city in the world was the inspiration behind her line. The presentation showcased New York inspired prints on many of the pieces. It was an amalgamation of colors, prints and textures. She featured everything from copper pants, black and python leather, and even white fur. The entire collection, including the backdrop design had many elements of New York’s personality. There was a mixture of hard edge with the intricate details, leather and python, but there was also a soft romance about the collection with the ruffled chiffon dresses. Needless to say, Leonovich’s collection is bold and daring. Take a look

Farah Angsana definitely knows how to put on a show. Her collection was inspired by women like herself who love to travel the world. Her collection shows that “she is a woman of high glamour and culture and appreciates the fine detailing in luxury.” If I could describe the collection in one word it would be luxurious. The collection consisted of breath taking gown and cocktail dresses that would definitely make you the center of attention. She chose simple colors like ivory and black for some pieces but the show stoppers would have to be the tangerines, emerald greens, scarlet reds, violets and shades of blue. When you put some color in to the mix you are bound to have an incredible collection. The fabrics and details were just as luxurious as the rich colors. She incorporated crystal and sequin emebellishments, lace detailing, ruching, silk chiffon, silk wool, wool crepe and more. Her silhouettes were simple but the true craftsmanship can be seen in the detail. Take a look at the collection.

 This dress was definitely the show stopper. Everyone gasped as the model proceeded to walk down the runway. The dress is so dramatic yet classy. Farah Angsana did an amazing job with this collection.
