The epithet is not accidental — dresses from Erdem loved the British monarchy. So, Kate Middleton were published in dresses of authorship Moralioglu. It is obvious that the new patterns in the Studio of the designer created, thinking about the Duchess.
The collection focused on clothes for special occasions: volume evening dresses with bows and ruffles to a neat, but very colorful costumes. Some images of the classic jacket was replaced with knitted capes. Particularly noteworthy and classic silhouette of the new look.

The Show Of J. W. Anderson
At the last show Jonathan Anderson was fascinated by the crafts — the collection is determined not so much cut and silhouettes, as a decorative finish: lace, macrame, fringe. At this time, the attention to detail has reached a new level designer plays with form, creating some of the analogues from other materials.
I like this light hooliganism: strands look like feathers, but it’s not. They look like fur, but it is not,
— says the designer before the show, showcasing a bright dress fuchsia.
The collection was very architectural and inspired Anderson the works of Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore’s noticeable in many of the images presented on the catwalk: the rounded shape, the slits in the clothes reminiscent of the holes in the famous sculptures of these authors, weave different kinds of fabrics, in harmony with the massive aksessuarami in chains-chokers.
Main outerwear in the collection also became the Cape, and particularly noteworthy is the ironic demonstration of bags in the form of caps on the head models.
