Shot by Jacques HabbahFashion / ShowChalayan AW14A considered lesson in peel-and-reveal cuts, thrown off-kilter by acrylic nail embellishmentShareLink copied ✔️February 28, 2014FashionShowTextDazed DigitalPhotographyJacques HabbahChalayan AW14 Initial reaction: After last season’s bright, ticker-tape dresses, this season felt like a refined study into peel-and-reveal cuts and layers. One considered cut became the focus of an entire look, like the single unzipped panel falling open on the front of the first dress. Colour impressions: Dark, autumnal leathers in forest green and stormy grey. Even scarlet, cerise and rich burgundies felt restrained and quiet, not bold and loud. Unexpected details: A series of gauzy white dresses embellished with acrylic nails in neat scale like lines. They resembled the boards in a nail salon, when you choose which polish shade and design to get. Closing looks: Grey, shapeless transparent sheaths, slashed over the chest to reveal the structured red and black gowns beneath. Surface area: A subtle and abstract hatching pattern emerged in grey dresses and thigh split skirts, and gauzy grid print layers.
