Erdem SS 2012


 Erdem showed his eponymous label yesterday in the ballroom of the Savoy Hotel and in contrast to the majority of those heavy, in your face collections we saw in New York last week, his was a stunning and ethereal collection that was the exact reason the Turkish - Candian designer is most fashionistas go to guy when they want something playful and romantic.

His models wore close fitting floral dresses with delicate touches such as lace insert sleeves, floral matching gloves and light pleats.  There were a lot of blues with some yellow and red making it into the show, although the colours were not at all overpowering.

A special mention must go to that stunning, one of a kind trench and the hotpants.  The hotpants were slightly more sexy look than the zealous Erdem usually goes for, but the shorts were still totally fabulous and i can see many a girl rocking them next season with platform boots and white shirts.  Th trench coat was a gentle satin fabric and worked in the same floral prints as some of the dress.  It is one of those pieces you know will be iconic and everyone will wish they had one.
