19.10.10 | LONDON SS11
1# ACNE
Acne once again pulled it out of the bag presenting minimal clothing with maximum lust factor. Sticking to a simple colour palette Jonny Johansen ensured it all lay in the details as proportions were experimented with, asymetric hemlines and lots of layering ensured our favourite way to keep warm in winter can also be carried off well into summer months. Sheer fabrics ensured that extra sex factor every Acne girl has, whilst The sky high platforms are sure to be on every understated fashionistas wishlist come summer. (we at The Fashion Smoke are already keeping our eyes peeled for a copycat pair.) Goggle like sunglasses added a futuristic vibe, as well as the colour blocked models who looked like they were wearing some of the coolest uniforms around. A strong, wearable collection I could picture a lot of it slotting quite easily in to my (dream) wardrobe - the kind of chic understated elegance we have grown to love from the Swedish brand.
---------------------
2# UNIQUE
We felt the need to include three lines of the Unique collection, quite simply because we freaking loved it and couldn't narrow it down/deprive you guys of more or less the whole collection. First off it's got a whole load of seventies references in which is by far our favourite fashion era. Bell sleeves, maxi skirts, wide legged jumpsuits, tie dye, the shirt dress, the prints, the colours and the major tassle-fest! Secondly, the collection is so diverse with one outfit after another being something different to admire, and the difference in the hem lines, colours and shapes means there is something to suit everyone. Last of all its Topshop so come spring time if I start saving now I may be able to snag more than a couple pieces.

3# EMILIO DE LA MORENA
Sculptural, feminine yet edgy three words to sum up Emilio De La Morena's S/S collection. Slashes and cuts into the fabric give the colourful dresses a little more attitude than simply pretty party dresses. Also loving the contrast between the colourful organza and leather creating a sexy polished look. Perfect for making a statement on a night out these dresses leave me debating the likeliness of being able to recreate this look, stanley knife and favorite party dress- this could go terribly wrong!
---------------------
4# ERDEM
Erdem's floral printed dresses were a welcome burst of colour - something in which we have come to associate with the summer months and of course the designer himself. The floral dresses managed to avoid looking ditsy with their cool colours, mismatched prints and pairing with lace securing the trend yet another year. Although accessories were next to non existent during the collection, we imagine oversized cross necklaces, stacked rings and possibly a chunky platform could give these outfits a little more edge, that is of course if we were lucky enough to count one of these numbers in our wardrobes.
