Walk the Walk: Caitlin Power S/S 2013 Collection

Mercedes Benz StartUp competition final was held yesterday night at the World of MasterCard Fashion Week and instead of talking all 8 designers here, I would like to just focus on one - Caitlin Power.

People who had seen the F/W 2012 show would have high expectation on Power's S/S 2013 collection yesterday night. Even though there were only 8 pieces showing on the runway, they were all very strong and truly captured the aesthetic of the brand. This collection continued to have a very strong futuristic vibe and the highlight was definitely the last piece which metallic leathers were used.

Even though Power didn't win the competition in the end, her collection had won a lot of compliments from the fashion crowd. Without a doubt, many people (including me) will be excited to see what she has in store for us next season!

Pros:
- The colour palette makes the collection very cohesive. The little yellow piping detail injects energy to the pieces.
- I really like how she continues to stick to the futuristic theme. I can see a Star Trek influence on some pieces, especially the last piece.
- The fit of each piece is flawless. The entire collection is very well constructed.
- Leather continues to be a strong element of the brand and she is probably the only brand I will never say no to leather.

Cons:
- I think the metallic leathers need to make a few more appearances in this collection. 1 piece is not enough for my eyes.

Eye Candies:
- Sleeveless blouse with metallic leathers panels
- Dress shirt with yellow piping detail
- Black sleeveless blouse with yellow piping detail and abstract cloud print
