Culturally Infused Catwalks: The Laura Siegel Fall/Winter 2013 Collection is Worldly and Wearable

Showcased with a museum-like quality in the studio space at World MasterCard Fashion Week, the Laura Siegel Fall/Winter 2013 collection took to the podium with a nomadic vision of autumn wears. Earthy hues, rich textiles, headscarves, and long, unstructured cuts delighted a packed room of fashion followers with themes of cultural heritage and world travel. The Laura Siegel Fall/Winter 2013 range was not only one of the week’s most mature, but most reflective as well.

Galactic Tech Apparel: The Roberto Piqueras Fall/Winter 2013 Collection Catalog

Corporate logos and low-fi tech graphics serve as the main inspiration for the Roberto Piqueras Fall/Winter 2013 collection. The London-based designer showcases his signature brand of eclectic streetwear in a new catalog that blends galactic themes with nostalgic iconography. Whether shining a light on layered bomber jackets, athletic bottoms, or oversized statement tees, this collection of urban attire is the true definition of youthful edge.

Known for his bold t-shirt designs, Roberto Piqueras' latest line of streetwear includes an array of vividly screen printed tops that are showcased alongside matching leggings and sweatpants. These ensembles are paired together to create a uniformed utilitarianism aesthetic reminiscent of 90s hip-hop styling. Moreover, this futuristic line of sportswear encourages self-expression and proves that fashion does not always have to be traditional or run-of-the-mill.

Parisian Punk Couture: The Joe Fresh Fall/Winter 2013 Collection Surprises with Edgy Glamour

A notable departure from his usual collections of bright and bold colours, Joe Mimran’s highly anticipated Joe Fresh Fall/Winter 2013 collection exceeded audience expectations at World MasterCard Fashion Week with a crisp, new, monochromatic palette and edgier detailing.

Studs, embellishments, chains, and spikes were applied to sharply tailored pieces inspired by Parisian fashion and culture, while moto jackets, skull-and-crossbone prints, and modern camouflage gave this sophisticated range a punk flair suitable enough to wear to the 2013 Met Gala.

After the show, THE BRUNETTES congratulated Loblaws CEO Galen Weston on the fabulous collection and posed for a quick pic with the grocery guru.
