As Valentine’s Day is mere days away, it’s truly fitting to write about a Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week show that celebrated love. For their Fall 2014 Collection, Barcelona fashion label, Desigual celebrates falling in love with their city again with a collection full of vibrant colors, patterns and silhouettes that echoes the enthusiasm and hopefulness of Barcelona. That was very evident on the runway, not only by the brighter tone of the looks but in the models dancing down the runway as well. And speaking on models, we saw some very familiar faces on the runway. Victoria’s Secret models, Candice Swanepoel and Erin Heatherton rocked the Desigual runway as well as model royalty in the form of the stunning Sudanese-American model, Ataui Deng (niece and doppleganger of supermodel, Alek Wek who really has the wonderful presence of her aunt).
For this dazzling collection, the brand stepped away from their signature patchwork patterns and opted for more polished prints such as bold geometric shapes reminiscent of kaleidoscopes (much like the Gaudi buildings in Barcelona), face illustrations representing the beautiful residents of Barcelona (as a beauty lover, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the makeup face charts, something we see a lot of backstage during New York Fashion Week), extravagant Jacquards and Appliques, Lamé, Silk, Wool, Velvet, and Tulle in striking colors such as gold, various shades of blue, black and white, grey, red, hunter green, orange, burgundy, and browns.
