Erdem does HOT PANTS! SS12 (London)

Having interned at Erdem, I am a huge biased fan of his.

It's not difficult to like though is it!! Erdem is known for his beautiful use of lace and embroidery work (something that I have had the luck in seeing with my own two eyes close up) and let me tell you, its phe-no-mi-nal!
Erdem uses a subdued colour palette of white,  blue, canary yellow with accented colours such as red and pink for his SS12 show.
The first look down the catwalk did surprise me, as he presented a pair of (great looking) hot pants...this surprised me as he is known for a more elegant and demure look...But I is not complaining, as it features a combination of print and cotton lace, whichdoubt will appeal to younger customers.
Next look that made me stop and zoom in is the beautiful light blue trench coat.  It has a slight oriental feel as Erdem has used a lot of heavy embroidery.  It is stunning and I want one!
My favourite look (or piece) from the collection is the white, embroidered flowered shirt teamed with 7/8th lenght printed trousers.  I like a statement piece, and this does so elegantly and beautifully.
Erdem used a variety of lace design within his collection, which varied the looks and brought depth to the collection.  Texture was also brought in by varying the type of lace, and featured embroidered lace on sheer fabrics and your normal cotton crocheted lace. 
Whichever lace/texture/fabric/print/embroidery he used, it all matched and worked beautifully.  I hope some day to own a piece of my own...being the romantic girl at heart that I am!
