Spring 2014

WHAT: DSQUARED2 S14K203 Sneakers…WHY: If Chanel’s spring 2014 couture collection was any indication, the sneaker trend is not dying anytime soon, so make like the cool kids and get some pumped up kicks. We love these DSQUARED runners for their high fashion take on beat boxer style. Perfect for the gym and sitting front row, non?

From Bali to Los Angeles and back, Burning Torch designer Karyn Craven finds beauty in cultures the world over. Her latest project, “Craven Iteri”, launching for Spring 2014, is an encore in design in which she introduces us to her passion for adornment. The Daily caught up with Karyn at the collection’s launch to find out the who, what, where, and why of her raw yet refined line…

Salvatore Ferragamo is getting some street cred! The Italian luxury label has enlisted street style photographers Monsieur Jerome and Face Hunter to snap Milan’s It girls like Chiara Totire, pictured here, in the brand’s Spring 2014 ready-to-wear as part of a digital launch.

Bringing you a dose of graphic color on this Friday is Sonia Rykiel, whose Spring 2014 ads are a mix of colors and medias. Karen Elson, who’s basically unrecognizable thanks to that chopped strawberry blonde ‘do, was shot by Craig McDean.

Another Spring campaign du note! The Proenza Schouler boys’ latest campaign was shot by David Sims, and features lots of wind-mussed flaxen strands in addition to pieces from their Spring 2014 collection. Turns out, the foggy, forest-y locale is pretty significant for the design duo…

Armani Privé: The iconic Italian designer might be fêting his 80th birthday this year, but Giorgio Armani still has his finger on the pulse. His audience tippled on flutes of bubbly prior to his Spring 2014 showing, which concluded with the Paris installation of his One Night Only world tour, celebratory motions and all. Quite the late-night feat, considering Armani’s show was scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. But perhaps all that nocturnal activity offered a touch of inspiration for the designer, as his looks encompassed a night sky palette: midnight navy, dusky blue, wisps of grey, and the silver sparkle of a star.

Atelier Versace
With a nod to Grace Jones, Atelier Versace kicked off Spring 2014 couture week with lots and lots of glamour. The first look, a silk suit and a crystal embroidered skirt in noir, was finished off with an attached hood that echoed a look synonymous with Jones in the Eighties. The hood also made an appearance on a sheer black jumpsuit, a draped ball gown in acid green, and a cocktail dress covered in a maze of silver beading.

Carine Roitfeld and Stephen Gan took a break from their grueling EIC duties to put together a piece of art for Vionnet. The label’s Spring 2014 ad campaign features gravity-defying mods, Juliette Gernez and Natalia Siodmiak, in fabulously chic colorful swirls of fabric and blonde dreadlocks.

This season, Roberto Cavalli proves that you can be over-the-top, even without eyebrows. The label’s Spring 2014 ad campaign, shot by David Sims, features mod Iselin Steiro…

Smokin’ in the girls’ room! Alexander Wang unveiled his Spring 2014 campaign for his namesake label featuring model Anna Ewers showing off (a nice way to say spreading?) her mile-long gams on top of a bathroom sink at The Old School in Nolita.
