Fashion Week Favourites: Erdem's Lesson in Monochrome

Another post with my personal highlights of Fashion Week: next up, Erdem.

Erdem is a brand which is classically beautiful every season, with a tendency towards floaty, feminine shapes in beautiful floral prints. This summer, however, we saw a different side to the Erdem woman. 

This collection didn't need colour, flashy accessories or overly groomed hair. The clothes speak for themselves. Inspired by a girl wearing a boy's school uniform and traditional sporty touches with a twist of gothic romance, this is fashion to fall in love with. It's a perfect balance between masculine and feminine, edgy and girly, black and white. There's lacy florals over seductive mesh panels, crisp white shirts whose collars and tails poke out from under delicate dresses and skirts, and a definite element of couture to textured statement gowns juxtaposed with androgynous details and grungy leather shoes.
I'm getting excited just typing about it.

Enough talk, more fashion:

One of my favourite collections in a looong time. I <3 Erdem.
