\"A-model-wears-a-design-created-by-Julien-Macdonald-during-London-Fashion-Week-Spring-Summer-2014\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Julien Macdonald’s Autumn\/ Winter and Spring\/Summer 2014 collections both featured many standout pieces. Unlike many other collections, which stuck to simple black and white, Julien injected nudes, gold, silver, green, blue and red tones to make distinctive pieces. He also incorporated longer hem lines with most dresses knee length or full length, with the sleeve length also following suit. The clothes are clearly not designed solely for the size 0 models they are presented by, but look actually wearable for the rest of us. They ooze class in their interesting designs, with beautiful intricacy reflected by metallic detail, as well as very elegant and wearable shapes and cuts. The stylish dresses would accentuate both a curvy figure as well as a boyish one with the use of clever illusionary patterns and cut-a-way mesh that would create the perfect hourglass figure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
