Erdem Spring 2014

Of course there were flowers at Erdem's Spring 2014 runway show — we wouldn't have it any other way from the lovely label! But among the lace bouquet laid many stunning surprises.

Expanding on last season's edgier collection, Erdem Moralioglu infused his latest designs with downtown cool (think: moto jackets, exposed zippers, and leather). The mostly black-and-white palette included playfully eclectic looks like one that tempered a preppy sweater vest with tough platform sandals and an evening-ready ostrich feather skirt. The result was certainly no garden party, and still we found ourselves tempted to play in this garden of earthly delights.
