LAURA KIDD: What Tickles My Fancy

Much like every fashion lover, I too look forward to the new fashion shows every season (and bi-season, "pre-fall", OK!). And by "look forward to the new fashion shows" I mean race to style.com to see them. I usually just go to view my select favourite designers that I always have an eye on. And that usually satisfies me.

For some reason not even Prada or Vivienne Westwood's Spring/Summer '15 shows interested me. And that's saying a lot! I don't know if it's me or the clothes but all my usual faves just weren't doing it for me. Not to say I don't love my regulars and they didn't produce beautiful clothes, they did. What I crave in a fashion line is creativity, unusualness and when the clothes really make me think for a second. I also love when fashion shows don't make sense or straight up frighten me. I know this may sound weird, but if I wanted to see plain clothes, I could just walk though a mall.

This is just what I personally need from a fashion show. I know the initial point of them is to showcase clothes so the viewers would consider covering them in the media or actually buying. But seeing as I'm not rich, I want some entertainment, dammit!

This year's lack of what I particularly look for forced me to "click" past the regulars. And what I found was spectacular! Some of them I recognized but didn't count them in my top faves and some I had never heard of before. Now I definitely have a longer "regulars list". I came across some truly breathtaking pieces.

Here's a round up of my hidden treasures that I hope you'll love too. All photos are from style.com, duh.
