Madrid Fashion Week A/W 2013-14 (Day 2)

Ailanto, María Barros, Roberto Verino, Roberto Torretta, Rabaneda, Victorio & Lucchino, Angel Schlesser and Aristocrazy.

Ailanto´s proposal mix, as usually, painting inspired patterns, like flowers and geometric prints in warm colours. I´d highlight the wool coats, in coral pink and lavander, so as the vibrant blue.

María Barros plays a jazz collection quite excesive, that take us back to the 40´s. I´d highlight the jewell gloves and the midi skirt shilouette. I´d forget about the head pieces, that emphasized the volumes. The thing is that I love turbants and these were made by Monic, whose accesorizes are really special, but I think the result was too overdone.

Roberto Verino and Roberto Torreta, make a great fur treatment in outer clothing like shoulders, sleeves and necks, mixing materials and updating conventional pieces like trenchs and coats. Verino inspired in the 70´s, and Torretta, in the urban atmosphere, reinventing leather.

Rabaneda belongs to the new generation. He presented an urban-sporty styled collection, that works. Shocking materials like neoprene, leather and velvet that create a modern look, in structured cuts.

Victorio & Lucchino give it a twist, presenting a much more conceptual collection, that we´re not used to. It seems a new interpretation of the 20´s, in a woman worker context, in greys and blacks that make us forget about the light and flowers of previous collections.

Angel Schlesser, in continous line, presents simple shilouettes with a male touch. The rescue of the hooded coat, and oversized coats in red, black and camel. The bicolour black and white or red and black, turns into monochromatic looks.
