Erdem, a brand now known around the world for clothing Princess Kate in their exquisitely detailed lace, is swiftly ascending to fashion stardom. Instead of playing it safe and riding on royal coat tails, the brand is pushing boundaries by incorporating unexpected elements into their proper English garments. Rubber trimmings, oversized faux jewels, and lucite brought an improper edge to lady-like ensembles. The overall experience was impactful, perhaps shocking. But, Sometimes the most off-beat aesthetics are the most beautiful.

Just days after the release of her Topshop collaboration, Mary Katrantzou’s main line showed in London to spectacular success. Playing with both exaggerated form and print,Katrantzou’s Fall 2012 showing is an impressive display of the designer’s talent and potential for growth. It’s easy think that Katrantzou’s print-centric style will quickly become overwrought and tedious, but she continually overcomes expectations. This collection is by no means an exception. It seems that origami forms are a central trope of this season’s offerings on a global scale and Katrantzou has maximized their potential through her signature strategically mismatched prints. Katrantzou's evening offerings are especially impressive, taken her eccentric style and rendering it black-tie appropriate without sacrificing style or perspective.
