Sorry I've been away for so long but university work has been holding me captive, even in the holidays. These past few months have been hectic, since my last post I've moved into my new place in Leeds, bought so many clothes I can't close my wardrobe, invested in a new camera, which I can't keep my hands off and am currently mid-way through my second year at Leeds University! Although to make up I have a lot to blog about these next few weeks!
I thought this week I'd blog about Anne Sofie Madsen's Spring/Summer 2013 collection- 'Cherrilee' . I've wanted to write about her work as soon as she debuted just over a year ago at Copenhagen Fashion Week. Since then she has become one of my favourite designer's and an inspiration to me. Her work never ceases to amaze me, with each individual outfit she creates looking delicately formed and like pieces finely crafted artwork. Although the theme of her collections change each season she states her concept always stays the same, wanting to show 'the well-known through the un-known and to use traditional hand craft methods and couture techniques within ready-to-wear'.
In her 'Cherrilee' collection she again simular to her previous work, shows her extreme talent for creating beautiful hand-drawn illustrated prints, intricate skeleton like embossments and heavily embellished stand-out pieces. Her mix and contrast in fabrics is what I love most about this collection. While her cool colour palette works perfect together with a somewhat warrior like theme. There's no surprise from looking at this collection that her internship with John Galliano and work experience with Alexander McQueen, has inspired a couture twist in her work. I'm hoping she will become more known this time next year and people will start to appreciate her work just as much as I do!
