Kaelen Fall/Winter 2013

Kaelen Haworth’s Fall/Winter collection mirrored her previous collection’s soft and light aesthetic, while also adding in a heavier element. Haworth incorporated light fabrics like organza, silk, and linen with heavier fabrics like jacquard pleats, leather, and knits. The incorporation of both light and heavy fabrics in each piece gave a toughness and edginess to each model, while still making them look fresh and youthful.

The light and heavy aesthetic was also seen in Haworth’s usage of color. She combined colors like violet, grey, burgundy, lavender, and black, which carried on the edgy and youthful tone of her collection.

Many of the pieces were kept simple, like an alpaca and silk grey tunic with black leather leggings, while other more elaborate pieces included a laser cut snake print leather button down shirt with a matching skirt.

What really stood out in this collection was the intricacy of each piece. Each look used elaborate detailing, especially the wool overcoats and laser cutting.

The styling for the show was left minimal. The models sported straight hair and natural makeup. Many of the models had exaggerated brows while others wore beanie hats.

Spotted at the presentation were acclaimed bloggers Olivia Lopez of Lust for Life and Leandra Medine of The Man Repeller.
