Today I had the pleasure of attending an amazing day at the Kurt Geiger AW12 Women's Press Day in their Grafton Street store, London. Being Kurt Geiger's intern, naturally I got the VIP allday attendance.
The collection is absolutely amazing and has so much variety and diffrentiation from the previous SS12 collection. 'Pretty in Punk' is this seasons theme inspired by masculinity fusing with feminine punk. the range varies between the three key brands of Kurt Geiger London, KG and Carvela but viewing the collection displayed amongst a vintage television stage brings together the sub brands as a whole.
A key running theme which really stood out to me was stud-tastic and, to quote, the Slipetto! a definate must buy! being someone who loves a flat and has to choose carefully which type heel to buy into the slipetto has the quality style of the newly flat slipper style with a slim tall heel.
Of course Kurt Geiger is never without the skyscraper platforms introducing all the British traditional combinations you can find. From Brogues, to Brothel Creepers to Chelsea Boots, every style screams elegancy against the rougher edges of punk. A clash of two styles yet looks amazing!
Everything but the dress also combines everything to accessories. Continuing on from the chunky chains and exaggerated zips brings fresher and more practical styles of handbags. Including classic totes and resolving the functionality yet still maintaing the compact bag. A favourite to look for is the 'Sherbert Jazz' showing a contrast of two different textures and the choice of how you want to wear or use the handbag by changing and adapting chain.
I had the most amazing day assisting Kurt Geiger and was pleased to meet and greet many guests who attended from a wide range of publications to see the collection. It was a successful turnout and am so excited for the collection to hit the shops!
