Desigual Collection - NY Fashion Week Fall-Winter 2014

As we look ahead to Fall Winter Fashion 2014, the good news is in!

There's lots of color and pattern to look forward to, especially from design companies like Desigual. The design house is known for its use of saturated color and flamboyant prints.

This fall/winter expect to see more color than usual in your wardrobe from Desigual. In the true Desigual nature, dresses, tops, and coats were eye-catching with mixed prints, lots of geometrics, and checkered patterns with stripes and graphic images.

Chunky peep toe booties were what models wore on their feet. Short dresses and bulls-eye patterns reminded us all of a mod ‘60’s influence in this collection.


Models’ skins were kept fresh faced, while eyes were played up with gold foil shadow. Bright yellow gold shadow was used in the inner to half of the eyelid and a darker burnt gold color smoked out the eyes towards the end.

Lips were glossy in nude, pink, or burgundy. Pink blush made cheeks look like fresh, young, and natural. Hair was bouncy with curls either half up and half down with a funky side part, or in a retro-pixie cut  and pompadour.

Shows like Mad Men and movies like the Great Gatsby have made a comeback and each salutes the elegance of a not so long ago era.

Pamella Roland's New York Fashion Week Show for Fall-Winter 2014 offered fashion the same salute with her designs that feature a retro vibe with a modern twist. What I love most about these designs are that they can be worn by a woman of any age. They're classic, timeless, and uber-chic.

For the 2014 Fall/Winter Season, Roland's designs capture the modern stylish woman - and women everywhere will thank her for it!

Beauty Press.com reports:

Vintage meets old Hollywood glam in the most recent collection from Pamella Roland. Form fitting dresses with deep V-cuts in lush colors like deep plum and red wine bared arms through sheer black sleeves. Silky black, gold, and burgundy dresses also stunned the runway. The Great Gatsby must have inspired much of this collection, as it’s apparent with the amount of flapper look alike dresses. Leather skirts and sequin pants with boxy, thick velvet sweaters were bountiful.

 Models wore their hair in deep side parts and large finger waves in the front; long hair was brought all to one side over the right shoulder. Silver metallic eye shadow was used on the eyelids while lips were stained with a cherry red. Eyebrows were kept natural.
