Label Collections

Label Collection

At the end of last year, I visited the showroom of one of our Summer Makeover sponsors, Label Collections and I thought I would share some of their gorgeous creations with you.

Label Collections

LABEL Collections founder and chief designer Nadia Turton, has always had a keen interest in fashion. She began her fashion journey in the retail industry, where she learned the basics and established her own sense of fashion. She then went on to graduate from Cape Tech, with a degree in fashion design, in 2001. After spending two years in London, familiarising herself with international style trends, she returned to Cape Town. Nadia gained further fashion experience in Cape Town, designing for retailers Truworths, Foschini and Edgars before finally launching her own fashion brand – LABEL Collections.

Label-Collections4

As you may know I am a bit of a fashion junkie, so I relished the opportunity of browsing through all Nadia’s stylish designs.

Label Collections is a locally designed and manufactured fashion brand, consisting of two lines – Labelfemme and Labellamere.

Label-Collections3

The Labelfemme fashion range is aimed at the modern woman, who has a unique sense of style and also values function and comfort. Nadia uses beautifully flowing fabrics and adds subtle nuances of feminine lace and pops of colour to further enhance her designs. Labelfemme consists of relaxed casual pieces for everyday wear, as well as stunning bespoke evening wear.

Label Collection

I loved the colour palette of the Label Collections summer line – featuring among others, one of my favourite combinations, of aqua and white!

Label-Collections-Lafeme

Labellamere is a trendy fashion range for the mom-to-be. There is, after all, no reason pregnant woman should not be fashionable! Again the designs are created using soft billowing fabrics, which help enhance, rather than hide, the beauty of the pregnant form.

Label Collections also design a fab range of accessories and belts, the perfect addition to any wardrobe. the stylist I have being working with stressed that every fashion conscious gal needs at least one good quality leather belt in her wardrobe! I am in love with these belts, especially the broad, leather, figure belts!

Nicole Miller Ready To Wear Spring 2014

I am yearning for spring to arrive in earnest but it we have cold gloomy weather in Cape Town today! I have decided I will not let this dampen my spirit – I will rather find comfort, in scouring the latest spring/summer fashion collections. One in particular, which caught my eye, is the Nicole Miller Ready To Wear Spring 2014 Collection! [Read more…]

My Top Fashion Designers

Top Designers2

As you may have guessed fashion is a great passion of mine and I love pouring over the latest fashion offerings, by the Top International Designers.

I have always said that one day when I grow up(hopefully sometime soon) I will own a Elie Saab creation!

These are My Top fashion Designers:

  • Elie Saab

He is definitely my favourite designer, I love his dreamy almost fairytale style of designing. Elie Saab’s signature has to be his exquisite  beadwork and his use of lace and tulle. He named his Spring 2013 collection “An Ode to Delicateness”, with illusion necklines and sheer sleeves, his creations seem to almost float down the runway.

  • Marchesa

Marchesa’s 2013 RTW(Ready To Wear) collection has a definite exotic Indian flavour with hints of  Bollywood – elaborate threadwork, sari draping and fringe are front and centre. The collection features rich tones such as Chartreuse, peacock, bordeaux, or eggplant tones tipped with gold. The structured sari gown below is my favourite – I love the rich tones and stunningly sexy lines of the dress.

  • Oscar de la Renta

The name Oscar de la Renta has always been synonymous with high fashion and his 2013 RTW collection delivers on all fashion fronts. The collection has something for everyone, from day suits in doily lace and the unusual use of fuchsia Astrakhan, to party dresses in feather-embroidered tulle. Super feminine and so pretty!

  • Zac Posen

Zac Posen’s 2013 RTW Collection has a definite Vintage feel to it with 1940 Skirt-suits and old school floral day dresses but my favourite part of the collection are the exquisite gowns! I particularly love his use of satin and tulle to create a dramatic contrasting silhouette.

Look of the Week

My look of the week this week features an outfit from the Zac Posen Resort 2013 Collection. A collection featuring such grace and elegance, beautiful fabrics and understated glamour. I especially love the sleek and rather sexy skirt-suits that have become a big trend this season and a popular look in his Resort collection. The beautiful detail on the jacket neckline and sleeves bring this figure-hugging look to a new level. The sassy hour-glass styled skirt brings a bit of femininity and fun to the outfit. The magnificent beaded necklace completes the look amazingly and adds that necessary touch of drama!

Look of the Week

My look of the week this week features a Gavin Rajah design from the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. His entire collection has been given rave reviews and you can certainly see why! This outfit was one of my favourites from the collection, although more understated than other pieces, I feel it oozes elegance and sophistication. I love his use of beautiful luxurious fabrics complemented by spectacular detail and finishes.
