Temperley catwalk show report | LFW A/W 2014

Alice Temperley’s autumn/winter 2014 collection told the story of two very different women leading two very different lives.LFW AW14 - Temperley - Krisztian Pinter - The Upcoming -1

With a myriad of colours, textures and shapes the collection can be neatly divided into two categories: the whimsical and the elegant.LFW AW14 - Temperley - Krisztian Pinter - The Upcoming -2

First down the runway was the whimsical folkstress dressed in colourful layers with beautiful Russian-inspired detailing.LFW AW14 - Temperley - Krisztian Pinter - The Upcoming -27

Quilted fabrics in vibrant blues and black featuring flowers and swirling patterns in stand-out greens, reds and oranges were used for dresses, skirt suits and jackets that wouldn’t look out of place in Timothy Sheader’s recent interpretation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.LFW AW14 - Temperley - Krisztian Pinter - The Upcoming -32

Cropped jackets, baby doll dresses and floor-length gowns, all featuring a folk theme detailing, were accessorised with gorgeous thick scarves that gave the outfits a boho air.LFW AW14 - Temperley - Krisztian Pinter - The Upcoming -37

Providing the ultimate contrast was Temperley’s second woman, dressed in elegant shades of pale pink, grey and black.LFW AW14 - Temperley - Krisztian Pinter - The Upcoming -26

Featuring evening gowns with such detailed beading, the dresses practically undulated as if made of liquid, and sheer blouses and floor-length dresses, the second half of the runway show was more Bond girl than Russian elf.LFW AW14 - Temperley - Krisztian Pinter - The Upcoming -28

As with all of her catwalks, the winning feature of Temperley’s clothing is the attention to detail that Temperley pays.LFW AW14 - Temperley - Krisztian Pinter - The Upcoming -41

Dressing her models in suspenders that were just visible through the sheer fabric, the girliness of the collection was tilted slightly.LFW AW14 - Temperley - Krisztian Pinter - The Upcoming -20

Stand-out pieces included a pale pink evening gown with a built-in shawl detailing and a stunning black quilted coat with a bright flowered pattern.LFW AW14 - Temperley - Krisztian Pinter - The Upcoming -14

Overall, Temperley brought two women alive in her collection. Both of whom are highly desirable.
