MBFWA – KATE SYLVESTER SS13/14

Ladylike glamour oozed at the Kate Sylvester MBFWA Spring Summer 13/14 collection titled The Last Sitting where front rowers were treated with a signature baseball placed on top of a portrait of Marilyn Monroe alluding to the collections muses.  The collection itself played with flirty fun summer dresses alongside a strong sharp masculinity in the more sports influenced leather pieces.
It is this sweet femininity and sporty masculinity that conveys the two sides of Marilyn’s character which is successfully portrayed throughout the collection – and the laid back chic that has become synonomous with the label remains strong.

I found the collection fun, flirty, feminine while key leather pieces brought a tougher feel to the new collection; subtle pleating, beading and leather detailing embellishments while the styling created the perfect finishing touch to a strong cohesive collection.
