Erdem Fall 2012

Yesterday I attended my first-ever Erdem show, and the experience was just as magical as I had imagined, with power editors Franca Sozzani and Anna Wintour seated directly in front of me.

Erdem’s celebrity fans and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge will be delighted to see that the designers served up ladylike dresses with signature floral prints and plenty of lace.

The florals were more graphic and therefore more vibrant than ever, which will make them stand out more on the red carpet.

Amongst the floral and lace were fit-for-a-Princess tweed pieces and splatter prints.

Laser-cut leather appliqué gave an edge to the pretty pieces and Erickson Beamon for Swaroski Elements added that extra sparkle.

Whilst there was only one gown, there were still many red-carpet options within this collection.

Marc Trinder at Charles Worthington created the models’ super-chic centre-parted buns whilst Andrew Gallimore used MAC cosmetics to apply the wing tips.

Models walked the runway with a collection of Nicholas Kirkwood for Erdem pumps and ankle boots in prints from the runway looks.

Nicholas Kirkwood is one of the designers who will be part of this year’s British Designers Collective at Bicester Village.
