Trendology: Givenchy Pre-Fall 2013 Collection

Givenchy has just released the images for the pre fall collection and I must say, there are quite some amazing pieces.

It seems like animal print is going to be a common theme for most of the brands again and Riccardo Tisci opens the collection with some cowhide pattern pieces. Then he transform this pattern into a geometric abstract print which looks like a modern version of camouflage if you look it from far away. Finally he ends the collection with some grand pieces which everyone's focal point will be on the ruffles at the waist area.

There are actually not a lot of fancy gimmicks in this collection but I really like the earthy colour palette. I always feel like the entire collection is highly wearable and some of the outstanding pieces include the tuxedo suit, the tuxedo dress set and the geometric shapes print dress. One thing I am not too sure about this collection is why do you wear sandals in the fall/winter season?

What do you think about this collection?

Trendology Louis Vuitton Pre Fall 2013 Menswear Collection

Louis Vuitton is one of the few brands which has a pre fall collection for men and it seems like Kim is bringing back some of the best elements from F/W 2012 to this collection.

The zig zag pattern has become a trade mark of Louis Vuitton menswear ever since Kim Jones joined the fashion label and as you can see, it reappears again in this collection. Aside from the zig zag sweaters, I am also in love with the colourful print of the shirts. On the other hand, if you are not a fan of prints but solid colours, this collection does offer some amazing solid colour suits and jackets which you will love.

Once again, Louis Vuitton is able to cater all kinds of men as there are something for everyone in this pre fall collection.
