EVENING dresses and elegance, Erdem’s SS18 collection is full of glitz and glamour. Botanical patterning, silk gloves and splashes of grand greens, red and subtle pastels made for a majestic runway fit for a queen. Keeping on top of trends with monochrome tweeds, lavish broches and detailed embroidery kept the opulent styles modern.
One would wear such an item of creative craftsmanship to only the most refined of events as the lavishness of each piece are appropriate for those dress-to-impress events. Beauty in the form of fashion, Erdem refuses to rebel which becomes effective as the designer offers an alternative to the more alternative direction many SS18 shows have turned towards. Erdem is effortless in this approach and his existence at LFW is charming and provides the necessary finesse of fine-tailoring.
