I did enjoy the allude show very much so. As usual they are known for their heavily used knitwear pieces. I was intrigued to see how this would be used in a spring summer collection. As we know knitwear is always used in both summer and winter. But Allude having something special about them. This collection used layering in a unique way. Instead of using layering in a classic way the knitted pieces were layered together instead of on top of each other. This created light shapes. The fabrics were heavy look but light in texture. Andrea Karg has done it again! Creating feminine looks with wool. The silhouettes were crafted well with interesting ways. Geometric shapes were heavily used in some of the key pieces. Colours were used softly and with subtle nude tones. Dark shades were brought in with contrast of white and nude shades. The knitwear was very much native and Eskimo inspired. But there was a sense of freedom and lightness to the pieces. As I said before subtle element of shimmer were included for example the knitted dress with shimmer and glitter tassels made quite a good contrast for the dress with a sense of softness and easily wearable feel to it. Pattern and shapes were introduced with light checks and geometric cutouts to create sharp silhouettes. Tassels were used with a rustic feel within the collection. Lastly I felt the mix of small checks and tassels made some excellent pieces that were simple but effective and easily wearable within the summer, especially within London, as you know how what a british summer can be like. The front row The front row was filled with classic allude looks. With a relaxed but stylist feel. Here is some highlights of the best dressed on the front row
