Oh Joy! x
The thing I ask myself when looking at a Collection for the first time is ‘what is the intrinsic quality that makes my heart beat faster’? For Peter Pilotto AW14 it’s all wrapped up like a beautiful multi-layered present, a waterfall of ideas whose soul is dedicated to colour, texture and verve. Pour yourself a large glass and just revel in the visual delight of a show that sings and delights at every turn.
The colour choices are unexpected..as if my daughter has reached into her dressing up box and paint box at the same time whilst wearing a blindfold..but the patterns of dominance and submission, empathy and detachment are all so smoothly integrated that they appear utterly cohesive and complete.
The colours, patterns and proportions are perfectly balanced so the right spotlight falls on the best accent to compliment the silhouette and the feeling of movement.
When the unexpected is brought together there’s a special magic – ideas that should repel instead harmonise in union. It’s true mastery and workmanship.
This coat could live in my wardrobe for decades and I’d never tire of it. That’s great design.
Or this one. Dress it down or dress it up, it would always turn heads.
Oh. My. Heart….
There’s hardly time to breathe as the wonder just keeps coming…we should be suffocating under a sea of colour clash and texture overload. Except it feels refreshing, desirable and exciting.

Just a shame what they’d do to my wallet!!
You deserve to win the lottery as a reward for writing such a poetic description of this extraordinary collection ! xxxxx
Did it show how much I love them?!! There’s a joke about a man wanting to win the lottery..he prays to God every week – but every week nothing..he gets desperate..pleads and begs..a booming voice comes down from the heavens..meet me half-way – BUY A TICKET! xxx
The blue dress is my favorite!
That feather section is just divine..
I am with you, this collection makes me very happy. Joy! XO

I think it’s such a joy to see such confident designing..wearable but still pushing the boundaries xxx
You are right on when you say “ideas that should repel instead harmonise in union.” The eye can’t help but be drawn to the colors and patterns and they work beautifully!
They’ve been very clever the way they’ve pulled all the elements together..could so easily have been a car crash! x
Oh my, I love love the pattern, colours and the design of garments are absolutely lovely! Kx
Wit, colour..balance..this collection has it all! x
Those are pieces you’d keep going back to for years. So well worth the investment, I’d say. My wardrobe suddenly looks sickly by comparison…humph
