Through my blog rachelnicole.co.uk, I get the opportunity to attend some amazing events and get previews of the upcoming seasons to share with my readers. Around April and May, companies are showcasing their Autumn/Winter collections and these are just a couple I've viewed in the past couple of weeks.
River Island AW14 Press Day: There is lot's of Faux Fur coming our way at River Island - On shoes, bags, coats, dresses and more! Along with fur there was a lot of hounds tooth, snake print and monochrome within the collection. My favourite piece that i saw was defiantly the pastel fur handbags, I really love the development of the pastel trend going through to the next season.
Very.com AW14 Press Day: Held at The Vinyl Factory with DJ entertainment from MTV presenter Lilah Parsons. At the press day, I saw the brand new Fearne Cotton Womenswear and Homewear range, as well as Very.com's own collection and Love label. Monochrome was a heavy trend seen throughout all the collections and a beautiful camel coat was a hightlight for me.
Reiss AW14 Press Day: Held at the Reiss HQ behind Selfridges, there was not a major trend throughout the collection. Lot's of leopard print, embellishments, lace and leather - Very luxurious, but staying true to the Reiss image. I also got a sneak peek at the Archive collection which is launching in September and includes a lot of the stand out pieces seen over the past few years.
Debenhams AW14 Press Day: The Debenhams press day was a great preview of all the designers at Debenhams such as Henry Holland, Jenny Packham, Julien Macdonald and more. Aswell as all the different designers there was the in house collections from Red Herring and Floozie and other brands such as Dune. Beautiful garments filled the rooms of the luxurious house in Fitzrovia. My favourite items were the heavily embellished evening gowns seen from Julien Macdonald, Debut and Jenny Packham.
New Look AW14 Press Day: The accessories stood out at the New Look press day, Lot's of metallics, baroque clutches and fur handbags. There was alot of sparkle garments which were a personal favourite of mine - They would be perfect for the festive season.
House of Fraser AW14 Press Day: Held at the HofF HQ in their press rooms, they showcased a small taster of what brands such as Michael Kors, Vivienne Westwood and Lulu Guiness had to offer. The rest of the rooms were filled with exclusive brands to House of Fraser. I was surprised that so many brands such as Therapy, Biba and Mary Portas were exclusive to House of Fraser. I particularly loved the pastel leather jackets and Biba's collection, which was bejewelled and embellished with a vintage vibe.
