Electric Sekki A/W 2013 Collections

Oh boy! I should warn you that this is a loaded post with a ton of enviable womenswear from Electric Sekki for Fall 2013. Invited by the lovely Priscilla l'Anson, a group of fashion bloggers including me travelled to the showroom in Aberdeen to get a preview of the goodies. For the coming season, Electric Sekki presented designers that featured statement outerwear, monochrome staples, soft knits and  a lush colour palette in favour of spring pastels. Scroll below for a commentary of my favourite pieces!

Priscilla gave us the lowdown for bold eyewear from Ksubi and House of Holland. Upgrade your wardrobe with a pair of these babies!

Known for their use of denim, Australian brand Ksubi reached out to those print lovers with a washed denim effect print and Asian motifs.

 

Of course, I couldn't resist trying it on... The jacket, also from Ksubi, was more appropriate for those living in the Northern Hemisphere because of it's thicker knit. Up close, the fabric was embroidered, elevating it's design to a more luxurious market that offered a sporty but refined varsity jacket.

Also worth checking out is the quintessential item from Ksubi: the denim jacket. I'm definitely loving the cool chevron studs at the back and the long proportions that make the jacket fit for both men and women - casual but chic at the same time.

Those who live on colour need to look no further. Eclectic British designer Henry Holland has got you covered with his Fall collection at the House of Holland. Designed for a "punk grandmother who partied in her heyday and wants to do it all over again", Holland satisfies both young and old with shocking bright hues, jewel embellishments and crazy furs.

Here's Maddy Wozencroft of Style Blossom in a fuzzy purple coat from House of Holland and stylish fashion blogger Nicole Chui from The Fashion Wonton in a statement fur cape also from House of Holland.

Grab a clean cut vest from Style Stalker and a pair of über chic reflector shades from Ksubi for a minimal look that suits both night and day.

Of course, sass & bide is a staple for style mavens who want to glam it up with statement pieces. While they're known to show more colour, Heidi and Sarah decided to go for a monochrome palette this season with heavy silver embellishments as seen in the dresses below. Of course, pieces without the embellishments were just as stunning as seen on Nicole who sported a simple white jacket with striped see-through sleeves.

At Chalayan, a well-structured garment can always be guaranteed with his emphasis on tailoring. Some of the amazing pieces can also be seen on the catwalk in my post from the Audi Fashion Festival in Singapore. This includes the panelled leather jacket that Megan from The Exterior Lock is wearing and the colourfully "painted" skirt below.

However, my favourite item so far is a simple green top that, while ridiculously expensive, is perfectly reasonable to anyone who understands tailoring. If you look carefully, the front is actually an entire panel with no seams at the sleeves, making it sit perfectly on your shoulders and contour towards your waist. Definitely a wardrobe staple that you can dress up or down depending on the occasion.

A warm sweater is also something you need for cold winters. Grab this multicoloured jumper from Nanushka to brighten up an otherwise overcast day. Also worth looking at are the bright outerwear pieces from D.EFECT that feature fur trimmings in a variety of ways.

Meet the lovely Fiona who was my Electric Sekki correspondent for the press preview. Her stylish outfit was complete with her well-chosen accessories. Just can't get enough of those nails!

Here's Maddy again but this time in a much more sophisticated coat from Chalayan.

If you're daring enough to try the crop top trend, why not go all the way with one made in black lace? 

Really loving this striped piece from Twenty8Twelve and the colour-blocked leather biker jacket below!
