CURATED LUXURY LIFESTYLE FASHION ART and WELLNESS magazine NYC curating good vibes by BRIGITTE SEGURA

MANISH ARORA spring 2014 PFW

Glow sticks were the only thing missing from Manish Arora’s latest offering for spring 2014, which played out like a Gatsby-themed rave in sherbet and psychedelic hues.  Inspired by the imagery of 1920’s icon Josephine Baker mixed with a club-kid edge, the collection combined sportswear with the Charlston through a number of sweatshirts, lightweight parkas and fringed skirts with fluorescent beads.

Banging beats courtesy of M.I.A complemented the kaleidoscopic homage to the flapper era, which featured a string of drop-waist, knitted dresses, pebbly sweatshirts with multicolor embroidery, and jazzy fringed skirts.  Popping accessories complimented the designer’s spring 2014 offering as if Baz Luhrmann himself had helped transform the 1920’s-themed looks into club-ready attire, with fluorescent bangles, banana-shaped earrings, and neon beaded bracelets keeping things upbeat.

Prints, sequins, and embroidery were key amid the array of stunning dresses, sleeveless hoodies, and asymmetrical skirts, splattered in a palette of sorbet lemon, mint green, and lilac.  Perfect for chilly spring evenings, lightweight parkers were given a modern twist through cheeky prints of ballrooms, staircases, and perfume bottles.

The Indian-native designer backed up the collection’s culture clash through intricate beading and embellishments, as seen on a statement backpack (just make sure you don’t stash it in coat check at your next candy raver adventure).   Flapper silhouettes with chained tassels in comfy jersey dominated the mix, given a feminine, flirty feel through a spray of sherbet pink, lemon drop yellow, peppermint green, and other candy-colored hues.

Bejeweled ornamentation adorned free-falling shapes in dresses, evidencing the influence of the designer’s heritage. Also key were sleeveless pieces and one-shoulder motives teamed with pleated skirts. Injecting a dose of uptown glamour were V-neck plunging necklines, adding a dose of femininity to the pastel rainbow-colored mix.

Models sashayed down the runway to M.I.A’s popular “Bad Girls” hit song, but one could be forgiven for thinking they were anything but sweet-as-pie due to their 1920’s-style bird feather headpieces and towering heels with fluorescent pink soles. fdmLOVES MANISH ARORA spring 2014 selects by Brigitte Segura, written by Khia Mercer.
