There is a lot of looks I've liked off the S/S '13 runways, as you can see, but I rarely like a collection as a whole.  I don't know why this is, but for every ten outfits I probably like one, if that.  A collection I did really like though is Balmain's, who is definitely the most featured designer here.  I also loved his last collection, so Olivier Rousteing is quickly becoming my favourite designer.  He used the Nineties as his main inspiration, cue lots of big, exaggerated shoulders, hoop earrings and high-waisted trousers.  Another collection I liked is Salvatore Ferragamo's, aimed at tough, confident women.  Lots of black, lace and gold chains, a man after my own heart.  As you may be able to see, I much preferred the dark, punky runway shows, which had a gothic edge.  Maybe this is because my head is obviously still in winter fashion, but I do really like the idea of not going down the usual route for summer and just wearing pastels all the time.
My representation of fashion month might not show it so well, but each week was full of bright colours, different shapes and bold print (snakeskin is still going to be huge, people).
