Vogue Festival 2014 - Street Style

Spring has sprung! The warm sunlight finally hits on the Thames. This time my street style post will share some style that I saw during the Vogue Festival 2014. 

London Fashion Week AW14 - Street style.

"Fashion is about something else that comes from within you." - Ralph Lauren.

"It’s a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It’s all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together." - Alexander McQueen.

Again, another post about London Fashion Week, perfect place to bring out your best(or worst) outfits and show it confidently. In my opinion, it should be all about personal style and how you present yourself, even you just wear a tee with a leather jacket, you still can be absolutely stunning. It doesn't need to be a fancy embellished jacket with high-end branded top plus an out-standing Philip Treacy, because your outfits should portrait yourself. But it seems LFW have already given an impression of "different(weird/maximalism) = fashion", which I highly doubt it! Also there are some "quite" similar taste or style... which I'm not so sure is it "individual" or just follow? You will be shocked how much "different" people on set. But anyway, I still enjoy it a lot.

Here is some street-style I like which I took on the day 2 of LFW.

Burberry Prorsum - LC:M Fall/Winter 2014

I really need to separate this post out from the other posts. I can't express how much excited I am to see the new menswear collection from Burberry Prorsum. Burberry well-known for its British gentlemen attire and the famous Burberry checked pattern, also when you think of trench coat, you think of Burberry. So to be honest, I never really get excitement from the Burberry menswear show. But this time, it is all different.

Christopher Bailey funneled his artistic passion into this amazing St. Ives, painter, journey inspired collection. Large scale graphic pattern, vibrant yet toned down colour, painted checked, city map pattern and fish net vest, nothing button up and nothing tricky to wear. This laid- back and comfortable collection just so much suitable for artist to paint whole day long in their studio even it is layers.

Christopher Bailey said his inspiration was “painters on a journey, romantic painters with a masculine point of view” and he successfully create a collection by his own expression yet looks “Burberry”. The designer also said he was inspired in particular artist, Lucian Freud, Ben Nicholson, Christopher Wood and Duncan Grant, four Brits who painted landscapes and portraits.

So, here is the amazing collection.
